LAY FLOWERS ON THEIR
MOTHER S GRAVE.
While scattering flowers on Memorial
Day, .
O’er the graves of the Blue
And those of the Gray.
Don’t halt in you march,
Nor turn away
Till you come to the spots
Where their mothers lay.
There honor them who rocked the
cradle
While the soldiers slept,
And in hours of need
Close vigil kept.
For when their country’s call
Their sons obeyed,
There were none who preyed
As their mothers prayed.
And when they fell on the field
Or beneath the waters they went
’Twas their mother’s hearts
That bore the deepest rent.
So while spreading flowers
On the Nation’s braves
Lav the sweetest ones
On their mothers graves.
—Lafe J. McCutcheon.

; St. Louis, May 28. —Thous- j
iands of persons gathered today
in the natural amphitheater in
Forrest Park and witnessed the
portrayal of the picturesque his
tory of the city of St. Louis by
seven thousand St. Louisans in
what is said to be the largest pa
geant ever produced. The page
Jant and mask will be staged ev
j ery day for the remainder of the
! month in order that all St.
Louisans and the thousands of
out-of-town visitors may see it
It’s production next Sunday is
for the benefit of those who can
not see it on work days.
Time and money was not spar
ed in making it the most preten
tious presentation of its kind
ever attempted in this counry.
Percy McKay and Thomas
Sevens, pageant masters have
I devoted more than six months to
the mammoth production. For
the first time in years, the city
became interested in its own his
tory, and a movement was start
ed td introduce a study of histor
ic St. Louis in the schools.
The opening scene represents
the size of St. Louis as seen
from the Illinois shore with the
water between the audience and
the stage on which mound build
ers are constructing a mound.
* They are interrupted by the ar
rival of hunters who display buf
falo skins and call the men to the
hunting. Despite the pleas of
the priests the men left the
mound unfinished and joined in
the hunt, the women following.
Next appear the Indians, who set
up their wigwams- Rumors of
war stir the village and the corn
dance changes to a war dance.
The village is attacked and after
being successfullly deended the
pipe of peace is smoked. In th<
distance appears a cavalcade,
De Soto and his gold seekers of
Spain, of the sixteenth century,
i They set up a cross on the mound
'and return from whence they
came, while the Indian life con
tinues undisturbed. Then Joil
et and Pere Marquette pass
down the river in their canoes,
marking the coming of the
French.
Lacledo and his stepson, Agus
te Choteau at the beginning of
the second movement of the pa
geant arrive. Lacledo plans the
town and Choteau builds the
first home with the aid of his
men and Indian squaws. Then
follows the coming of the set
tiers and the troops under St.
Ango and a town begins to grow.
Governor Piernas comes with the
Spanish rtoops and the flag es
tablishing the Spanish regime.
An Indian and British attack is
successfully resisted. Singing of

“Take anything?”
“Yes, some pills, but no results; sup
pose I’m getting ironelad. Sometimes i ,
Iouble the dose, then they physic me sc

“Ever try Prickly Ash Bitters’”
“No; I’ve heard a good de*l about it
but never tried it.”
“Well, you'll be pleased with the re

The purgative action of Prickly Asr
Bitters not only removes hard impac

which causes them to move regulany.
Prickly Ash Bitter”' is a bowel tonii
and regulator in the truest sense, it
promotes daily evacuations, establishes
healthy movements and is the best
known remedy for disordered digestion,
flatulence and a constipated habit.
D. M. Blackwelder, of Litchfield, III., says i.
the Litchfitd News: “lam perfectly willing, in
fact glad to testify to tne value of Prickly Ast j
Hitters as a medicine for the kidneys, stomach j
„nd bowels. I ha-- ased it whenever I needed |
anything of the kind for the last fifteen year: !
and it has always given satisfac'wjn."
