man officer in the train of consul
setting forth on a great campaign
against the Parthians; how he dis
covered that his fathers old stew
ard, Simonides, had succeeded in
saving from confiscation the vast
intangible wealth of the Hurs and
had multiplied it many times, till
the young Roman-JeW was the
richest private citizen in the world;
the discovery that MESSIAH was en-
tered for the highest stake in the
great sporting event Of the Orient;
how Ben-Hur won the affection Of
IIderim, the Arab SEEK who had en-
tered his steeds of the desert for
the great event-all this lead up
to the dramatic encounter of the
famous chariot race. The author
drew his description of the race
from one written over twenty-three
hundred years ago by the tragic
poet, Sophocles. 1t is one of the
curiosities of literature that the
great scene, through the pages of
Lew \ Wallace's novel, has become
as famous on our stage as it was
so long ago on that of Greece.
By his victory in the arena Ben
Hur eXacted ancient Jewish justice
on his hated adversary, who was
crushed in body and impoverished
in fortune-he had wagered on his
success all the wealth he had stolen
from his former friend. The victor
almost fell prey, however, to the
vampire daughter of Egypt who
was rival for his love with the
gentle Jewish Esther. But hence
forth his thoughts were concentra-
ted on Him who was attracting all
eyes. Vas he Messiah or king?
Ben-Hur, in his hatred of Rome, in
his pride of race, dreamed only of
king of this world, who should
right ancient wrongs and exalt his
chosen people And so he threw
himself with all his force, with all
his wealth, with all the knowledge
of the king whom he would fol-
low. But it was for one supreme in
things spiritual rather than material
that the way was being made ready.
And Ben-Hur'S mother rescued with
her daughter from her long impris-.
onment by chance change of Jail
ers, but hopeless lepers both, saw
the truth sooner than her son.
ooh, master, MASTER" she cried
as he passed upon the road, Thou
seest our need; thou canst make
us clean. Have mercy upon us
mercy!"
"Believest thou 7 am able to do
this?" he asked.
Thou art he of whom the prob
cts spake-thou are the messiah"
she replied. His eyes grew radiant
his manner confident.
Woman" he said, great is thy
faith: be it into thee even as thou
wilt"
And so, in the end, Ben-Hur rec
ognized what Balthazar had known
from the beginning. 20 wise Egypt
ian, hearken! Thou alone were

CALOMEL HORROR :
TOLD BY DODSOV
You Don't Need to Sickeny
GRIPPE, or SaIivate Your
self to Start Liver

You're bilious, sluggish, constipat-
ed. You feel headachy, your stom-
ach may be sour, your breath bad,
your skin sallow and you believe you
need vile, dangerous calomel to start
liver and bowels.
Here's my guarantee! Ask your
druggist for a bottle of Dodson's
Liver Tone and take a spoonful
tonight. If it doesn't start your
liver and straighten you right up
better than calomel and without
gripping or making you sick 1 want
you to go back to the store and
get your money. n
Take calomel today and tomorrow
you will feel weak and sick and nau-
seated. Don't lose a day. Take a
spoonful of harmless, vegetable Dod-
sons Liver Tone tonight and wake
up feeling splendid. 1t is perfectly
harmless, so give 1t to your children
any time. 1t can't salivate.-(Advt.)

"The workmen put their hands to
the cross, and carried it, burden and
all, to the place of planting. At a
word, they dropped the tree into the
hole; and the body of the Nazarene
also dropped heavily, and hung by
the bleeding hands. Still no cry of
pain--only the exclamation divinest
of all recorded ordinations:
"Father, forgive them, for they
know not what they do

other objects, and standing singly
out against the sky, was gree&d with
q burst Of delight; and all who could
see and read the writing upon the
board over the Nazarenes head made

the legend was adopted by them and
communicated, and presently the
whole mighty concourse was ringing
the salutation from side to side, and
repeating it with laughter and

Shoe Prices to Drop
Twenty Per Cent by
April, Saws McElwain

NEW YORK, Oct. 15.-Footwear
prices are due for a tumble-in fact
they have dropped 20 per cent since
the middle of August and are going
to take still another drop after
Christmas. J. Frank McElwain.
President Of the National Boot and
Shoe Manufacturers association, said
in an address before the Middle
States Shoe Wholesalers assocfa-
ton here today.
Mr.. McElwain said the consumer
should notice these declines begin
ming next April, as the shoe now be-
ing manufactured will not be mar
keted until that time. He said
falling off in the demand from Eu-
rope partly was responsible for the
reduction.

THE NUTS

The Hickory Nuts are in town
and they will perform Thursday, Fri
day and. Saturday nights at the Opera
House. Every man, and there are
36 of them, was a member of the
far-famed 3Oth or "Old Hickory"
division, the division that won upper
ishable fame by breaking the great
est system of defense ever known,
the Hindenburg line.
The Hickory Nuts haven't been on
the road so very long, but long enough
to make an enviable name for them
selves. Every show has been a hit
so far, accordingAto re ports received.
Every man of the thirty-six is a star,
and then there is the famous Hickory
Nut quartette, and a couple of Bel
gian refugee dancers, and the sweet
war bride of a member of the COM
pany. They all make up a troupe
that presents a performance that is
a riot of fun from the time the cur
tain rises until it is rung down.
The Durham Sun says:
Dear sir: The Hickory Nuts will
play in your city Monday and Tues
day nights. Tell your people it is the
best play that has been in our city
in years. 1t is rich from start to
finish. The managers introduction
is worth the price of admission. They
played here last night to the largest
house we have had. 1t is clean and
keeps the house in an uproar, the
whole three hours.
"This is voluntary on my part,
they know nothing of this letter. 1
Just feel that such a show needs to
be attended, not only because it is
good and clean, but the cause it is
out for.

construction

reconstruction.
Such an appeal would at least have
commanded a respectful hearing. For
the American people do not like OBJ
structionists They want their lead
ers to do things. Are not the RePuD-
Iican leaders. in the Senate in danger
of giving the country the impression
tht thew are critical ObStructlon1sts
rather than constructive statesmen?
1t was this course that led to the de-
feat of the Republican party IN 1916.
Is that mistake to be ~repeatedE
The trouble with the Republican
leaders in the United States is THAI
they are not big enough nor brcac
enough to accept anything, however
meritorious it may be, which 'rigi-
mates in Democratic circles. They. are
too little and contemplate to be will
ing for a Democratic President to have
credit for playing the leading role In
the settlement of the greatest issue
trait world civilization has eve won.
They would not have dared to oppose
the League if it had been proposed by
a Republican PRESIDENT and We DO
not believe the people of the country
are going to stard for any su"l par
tlsan meaneSS.
President Wilson has endeavored
to prevent the League from becoming
a partisan matter. If the Republicans
insist upon drawing the lines and sue
coed in preventing ratification the
shame of it all will rest on their
shoulders. 1t is a question of too
great Importance to be triied with
and the country is becoming FESTIVE
to the point of demanding a settle
ment of the issue on broad lines,
rather than submit to the scheming
tactics of selfish politicians.
