AN APPEAL TO REASON, TASTE AND THE PURSE.
No statement we can make is as strong as a crowded store. And crowds don’t flock to a store without reason. The reason in this case is
self-evident. It is not the mere question of low prices, but actual giving of high values. *

broken more or less, and the lnscrli-tlon

The obelisk, when Intact, was probably
no taller than si* feet, so It Is dear that
aliout half of the Inscription Is lost. As
the Inseripilon ran lengthwise, there re.
mains only the lower part giving hut the

having respectively the meaning of priced

ly and kingly function* were united In
Rome tru the * xth century, B and
thta. together with the archaic character
of the letters, would place the date at

R. c.. the literary Influence of the Greek*

temple, possibly the drat of the temples
held In reverential awe by the early Ro
man* Thla wa* a pines of refuge The
altar bacame tha rite of tbs later rostrum
froth which a men pleaded for hl life
before tha people a*enbled to Judge him
In later day* tha roatrum became the
center of tha political ltfe of the Reman*,
but In primitive times It was tha reUgtoua
center. It I* well known from other dis
coveries made before In thla neighbor
hood that the roatrum of the Forum wa*
regarded as a a sc red spot, and that tha
arcrtflela! lilea was conn, -led therewith
is evident from various references there,
to in Roman literature. The Tribune of
the People when seated in the Forum is
Inviolable, wot subject to arrest for any
crime whatever
That the actual history of the site mark
ed by the obeijek was forgo’ten whn It
was burled, and that the rayti
of the burial of the r main* of
Romulus, th# founder t Rome,
beneath the black pjvctn nt w a
Ueasurrd up as accoun Ing for the saerd
nefs of the spot, Is not in the least stir*
pi‘.sing to the student of the (level-pin nt
of myth,. The burial of th s oh 11 k I*
easily accoun sd for by the burning of
the temple there, which took p.a * at
least twice during the first four hundred
year* of Homan rule. The connection of
this tempi*- with the old fable of Romulus
ond Remus having been reared by n wolf
mother Is leet proven by the s:aiue of
the wolf width wss found in in* ■ titer
ranean ch imb, r* of the capital, thellaur'--
of the boys being evidently a lab r re
storation.
Excavations are now going on in the
vicinity of the Spot white ttie sacred
monument was found, nd It Is expected
that other ancient object, of great value
and Interest will be unearthed. Though
many explorations have been made before
into the earth where ancient Home Is
hurled. Prof. Boni s Is the first Ihat has
been scientifically conducted, and the
discovery of the altar stone Is alone,
and In Itself a justification for the labor
and expense of the project.
