Phares Behannesey, the principal
figure in the Oriental entertainment
to be given next Wednesday under
the auspices of the Baptist church, is
a youth whose native brilliancy en-
titles him to more than the usual
interest given to popular entertainers.
His life among his own people of the
quaint old city of Damascus was of
such nature as to make him singu-
larly able to tell its strange story, and
to utter its secret hopes. His career
in the East was full of promise-no
less rem. rkable, indeed, than his
stirring success as an entertainer in
this country. His people have placed
in him deep and living trust and
look to his rel I'm from his course of
study and his trips of entertainment
in America with an interest and faith
such as only the warm-blooded races
of the South can experience.
The bare message that he has to
bring is enough to entitle the young
Syrian to be heard. just at this
time the nations Of the East are STIR
ring themselves to the very heart,
and examining themselves under the
search-light of western civilization.
Secretly they look to us for their re-
generation India has sent us her
Viva Kananda, China her Ii Hung
Chang, and Syria her young David,
Behannesey Let us give him warm
hand, a better one than Cleveland
lately gave to China's great messenger.
The Chicago Daily News says of
the Syrian youth, "Hc is really a
wonder for his age" The Inter
Ocean says, "His language is pure and
enriched by that sweet, soft, peculiar
Syrian enunciation which, unlike
that of most foreign speech, M axes
one hang On every word" The
Record declares that he has charming
manners, and speaks English perfect
ly and fluently"

The High School boys are complain
ing, justly enough, that they are at a
marked disadvantage in athletics
through the lack of a practice field.
The school grounds are too much cut
up by sidewalks and altogether too
slOping for either base ball or foot ball
purposes, and at present no vacant
lot of any considerable size is within
easy access to the school. 1t would
seem advisable for the school board to
provide if possible, either by purchase
or lease, a suitable field for athletic
sports.
