DeChert Case NeOpened

Richmond, November 6.-The ex-
emption board for the Western Dis
trict Of Virginia at Roanoke was to.
day ordered to reopen the case OF
Harry Lee Dechert, of Harrisonburg,
who had been discharged on the claim
of dependent wife.
Governor Stuart and Adjutant
General w. w. Sale have received
numerous letters about the Dechert
case, and the Governor several days
ago submitted the facts to Provost
Marshal General Crowder at Wash
lngton for a ruling. The order to
reopen the case is understood to have
been issued upon receipt of General
Crowder's ruling, which in effect,
holds that the district board assumed
original jurisdiction and exceeded its
authority in granting Dechert dis
charge.
The technicality involved Is that
Dechert did not file claim with the
local board for Rockingham county
within the time provided by law, and
that his case never was passed upon
| by the local board, which has original
| jurisdiction on all dependency claims.
1t is assumed that a rehearing will
be held in the very near future and
the case finally disposed of, as it is
the intention of the War Department,
to have all men selected in the first
draft in training not later than
December 1. The Dechert case has
been given prominence ia several
Virginia newspa pers, and has at
ltracted wide attention. News Rec

There's no reason why a person

1t is pleasant, vegetable liquid
which will start your liver just as
surely as calomel, but it doesn' t

Children and grown folks can take
Dodson's Liver Tone, because it is
perfectly harmless.
Calomel Is a dangerous drug. It is
mercury and attacks your bones.
Take dose of nasty calomel today
and you will feel weak, sick and
nauseated tomorrow. Don't lose q
days work. Take q spoonful OF
Dodson's Liver Tone instead and you
will wake up feeling great No more

| About a dozen boys and yaung
men were longing for Hallowe'e en-
lark. The removal OF gates, the park.

on the Court House pavement and the
Hearing up of steps were an old stunt,
that could we'll have been discon-
tinued 20 years ago They wanted
some thing misunderstanding en-
tirely new. Something which would
give them the fun at the expense of
some one else. They disguised them :
selves. One of the parties agreed 10
play ghost and took his station in
sunken grave In the old colored
graveyard while the others started
out for victim.
1t was q late hour of the night |;
chance favored their plan. They met
Sambo, an innocent looking colored
man, who was returning from a visit
to some dusky maiden or to some
charitable visit to the unfortunate.
| They insisted upon Sambo going
with them, but Sambo suddenly re-
membered that he had some very inn
lportant business down town. But his
excuse awaited him nothing. Willing
or unwilling he was forced to ac-
company them. AS Sambo placed
his foot upon the sacred soil of the
old cemetery, the ghost arose from
the grave in protest. To say that
Sambo was scared, would not do the
subject justice He was overwhelmed
by the apparition. He sank to the
ground and was apparently dead.
The boys became frightened. They
saw vis;ons-visions of arrest, of in
dictment for murder or manslau ghter,
or the bars of the penltentiary or the
silent hall of the electric chair. One
of them appealed to Sambo. "Sampo,
Sambo. just open your eyes and look
at me and 1 will give you five dol
lars," but Sambo's eyes only had the
still, CLASSY appearance of death.
They did not know what to do.
Finally they concluded to take the
body home One of the party wanted
to place the body in neighbours
yard and make their escape, but bet
ter counsel prevailed and they carried
the limp body to his home They
dispatched one of their number post
haste for physician who promptly
responded. He gave the patient some
medicine, collected the fee for night
visit, and told them that i was nece8- !
sary for Samho 30 have some ore
with him during the night. Two of
them gladly accepted the place and
remained until the light announced |
the coming OF day.
During the morning, mischieyous
persons started the report that Sambo |
was dead. The Larks were kept in |
suspense for two days, when they re-
ceived the welcome intelligence that
Sambo had recovered from spas
modic attack to which he was subject.
Through the coming years, those
boys will have vivid recollec-
tion of Halloween in the year 1911.
