IoJa tho traveler who for days haB been wearied
by tho alght of nothing elso but tho monotonous
blue of tho burning sky and tho dreary desert
nil about him Is exhilarated, pleased and rested
by tho Bight of thoso beautiful cypress trees with
their cool, dark foliage down In tho wadl tho
Arabic name for hollow or valley. One can
scarcely Imagine anything moro dreary than the
valley where theBo trees raise their heads above
tho rock-bound hollow In tho desert. They stand
In all their majesty In tho gardens of tho monas
tery of tho Slnnltlc monks on St. Cathorlno. one
of tho mountaliiB of tho range called the "Forty
Martyrs." and great pride is taken by these men
of God In theso trees, which for n thousand years
havo broken the monotony of tho desert waste
and have cast their welcome shade wherein tho
weary traveler1 and tho travel-stained enravnn
may rest and take shelter.
For moro than n year the Israelites were en
camped In tho vnlloy of Slnal when they again
took up their wanderings In search of tho prom
ised land. Through Asia Minor they proceeded
to tho land of Canaan, their great loader. Moses,
dying ns they enmo In sight of tho country
which God had promised to Abraham. Isaac and
Jacob.
One of tho most Important places In Asia
Minor, on tho road from Constantinople to Konla.
Is tho ancient town of Afluiu, Knra-lllssar, whoso
extraordinary citadel, rising 800 feet In Its very
center, was tho Ilyznntlno fortress of Aoroenus,
whoro In 730 A. D. the Arabs, under tho leader
ship of Sid el Dattol el Ghazl, were dofeated by
tho Turks In Its very shadow. To get a view of
this most picturesque town n climb up tho stair
way cut In tho rock of tho cltndcl brings one to
tho very summit whero there still remain the mo
dlaovnl Turkish fortlflcntlons.

placo as ono can Imagine Overrun with half
starved, howling dogs In tho day, tho night Is
made hldoouB by their mad attempts to clean up
the refuse thrown In tho streets. It Is a good
Placo to bo avoided by tho fastidious. Tho town
boasts of n fine bazaar, churches for tho Armen
ians and mosques for the TurltB, ns well as
schools for both classes. Tho Armenians have
mado a commendable effort to mnko their part
of tho town Inhabitable and sanitary.
Tho Btory of tho birth and Infnncy of the
founder and first legislator of tho Israelite na
tion Is one of tho treasured gems of Hebrew
llteraturo.v Ho was of tho trlbo of Lovl. nnd
his mother, Jochobed (hla fnther's namo wns
Amram), hid him three months In doflanco of
tho edict of I'haraoli, who, to prevent tho growth
of his Hebrew slavo population, had ordered nil
their mnlo chlldron to bo put to death at birth.
As tho danger of dlscovory became groat, the
Infant waB placed In nn ark on tho Nile, was
found and adopted by the daughter of Pharaoh,
and was brought up as an Egyptian prince, Dut
Lis heart was with bis enslaved brethren, and
his slnylug of one of their oppressors necessitat
ed his Illght to Mlcllaii, where ho received the
dlvlno call to bo the deliverer of his people from
Egypt. Aftor considerable trouble ho led them
forth, crossed the lied sea, In which the pur
suing Egyptians were drowned, and then, during
a forty years' residence In tho desert, organized
tho religious and social polity of tho nation.
Moses stands out as n subllmo and unique figure,
without whom neither Judaism, Mohammedanism,
nor Christianity could havo been what they are.
BEAR WAS HIS INDIAN WIFE.
Where the Hunter Shot Her Is Now Called Bear's
House.
Along ono of tho branches of the Cheyenne
river in South Dakota there stands a hill called
Matotl, or Bear's House. Tradition tells this
Indian legend about it:
Onco upon a timo an Indian hunter was out
on the chase. Ho wandered for many a day
through forest and plain, over hill and dale, till
he finally came to n spot whero Henr'a House
now Is. Here he hunted for a while until one day
ho met a beautiful Indian woman.
As soon as ho saw hor ho wanted to marry
her. Long and hard was tho wooing, for tho
Indian woman wns unwilling to marry tho
stranger. At last alio consented, but she made
tho stranger promise that ho would never In the
future hunt or kill tho bear. This animal was her
totem, snered to her and nn object of hor wor
ship. Tho hunter fnlthfuly promised to obey her
wishes and to hunt all other animals and leave
tho bear unharmed. Then they wore married
nnd lived on In happiness and contentment for
many n day.
Once It happened that the hunter started on the
chaBe. Early he went and roamed nil through
tho neighboring forest without killing a single
thing. At last he becamo weary nnd tired from
tho chase mid resolved to return to his wigwam.
As ho was approaching his home ho saw In the
dusky twilight tho dark nnd shaggy form of a
huge bear making straight for tho wigwam.
"Now my wlfo will bo lost," ho thought, "for
If tho bear reaches thero bofore mo ho will
sUrely kill her."
Doubt at first stayed hla hand, for ho rcmom
bored hla marriage vow. Hut foar nnd anxiety
overcame hla doubts. Ho raised his bow to his
shoulder nnd aimed at the animal. Ono arrow
sent straight to tho heart laid tho animal low,
When tho Indian camo noar ho saw Instead of
tho boar tho llfoless form of his wlfo. The hill
whero they lived la Btlll called tho Dear's House,
or Matotl Hill.

When p. woman suffering from some form of feminine
disorder is told that an operation is necessary, it of course
frightens her.
The very thought of the hospital operating table and the
surgeon's knife strikes terror to her heart, and no wonder.
It is quite true that some of these troubles may reach a stage
where an operation is the only resource, but thousands o
women have avoided the necessity of an operation by taking
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. This fact is
attested by the grateful letters they write to us after their
health has been restored.
These Two Women Prove Our Claim.
fVrv. MnlnfV T fl ft n ltit. T
owe to all suffering' women to toll
what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vcgetablo
Compound did for roe. Ono year ago
I found myself a terrible sufforor.
I bad pains in both sides and such a
soreness 1 could scarcely stalghten
up at times. My back ached, I had
no appetlto and was so nervous I
could not sleep, then I would be so
tired mornings that I could scarcely
get around. It seemed almost Im
possible to move or do a bit of work
and I thought I never would bo any
better until I submitted to an opera,
tlon. I commenced taking Lydia li
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and
boon felt like a new woman. I had
no pains, slept well, had good appe
tite and was fat and could do almost
all my own work for a family of
.tum. i nuuw UIWIIJ-H ICOI Hint lOWB
my good health to your medicine."
Mrs. Haywaud Soweus, Cary, Me.
Charlotte, N. C I was in bad
health for two years, with puins in
both sides and was very nervous. If
I even lifted a chair it would cause
a hemorrhage. I had a growth which
tho doctor said was a tumor and I
never would get well unless I bad
on operation. A friend advised ma
to take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegeta
ble Compound, and I gladly say that
I am now enjoying fine health and
am tho mother of a nice baby girL
You can uso this letter to help other

Now answer this Question if vnn mn Wn oV...ij
man submit to a surgical operation without first giving Lvdia

it has saved many otherswhy should it fail in your case?
