ION THE WAR PATH"
BY Silas Z. SNYDER.

Chicago had her Midway" "
st. Louis her Pike" Portland
her Trail" E" and the Jamestown
exposition, which will be held on
the shores of Hampton Roads,
near Norfolk, Va, in 1907, will
have a War Path" The senic
amusements have much to do
with making an exposition at
tractive and after a long weary
day of sight seeing among the
exhibits palaces it is a relief and
a recreation to turn to the great
white way where the lights
glitter, the mountebanks and
soubrettes rule their merry
crews, where the joyous ballyhoo
man bawls his incoherent bun
combe, where, in short, the null
titude is at play. The great
playground of the Jamestown
exposition has been named the
War Path. . General Fitzhugh
Lee gave it that name and it is
certain that the entertainment to
be furnished by the concessions
that line its dazzling streets will
be sufficiently exciting to make
the name appropriate.
The War Path occupies a beau
tiful space fronting upon the
military parade ground and is
1888 feet long by 730 feet in
width. There are two parallel
streets separated by a central
block ON both sides Of which are
concessions thus making a total
frontage of more than a mile in
cluding the bazarrs at either end.
The streets are eighty feet wide
paved with brick. An arcade
covered with a glass dome which
at night will be ahame with
lights divides the central block
into two equal parts and makes
a convenient passageway be-
tween the streets.
A miniature elevated railroad
runs along three sides Of the
War Path affording rapid and
cheap transportation as we'll as a
charming and comprehensive
view of the great city of mirth.
The main entrance is fanked
by the American and the Orien-
tai bazaars which open upon
plaza IT'S feet wide by 700 feet
in length on all sides of which
will be hanging gardens. There
will be, of course, a senic rail-
way, a shoot the chutes and
other familiar amusements, but
for the most part of the soAseS-
sions will be new and many of
them sensational. Among the
good things thus far secured are
Paul Revere's Ride, " The De-
struction of San Francisco"
THE Palace of History, y THE
Battle Between the Monitor and
the Merrimac," THE Haunted
Castle, +" The Pyramids of
Egypt, The Swiss Village"
Tea Gardens of Old Japan. .
There will be also a number of
unique musical attractions to

REV. MILAN COMPLIMENTED.

Rev. H. NJ. McCIain has Just
been the recipient of the nice
sum Of $45, made up by the citi-
zens of Prescott and presented
as token of their appreciation
of his work and influence on the
baseball field and among the
young men Of the town. Bro.
McLain wishes to make this pub
lie expression of his gratitude,
prizing more highly the spirit
which prompted the giving than
the gift represents. When
we consider the spirituality of
the people at large, we are ready
to agree with Bro. McLain that
he would appreciate the spirit
that prompted the giving more
than the gift.
Wonder what Rev. H. M. Nc
Lain, the expert ball pitcher and
preacher thinks when he turns
the sacred pages and reads the
word of God, to-wit:
Second Corinthians, 9Th chap
ter, commencing with the Sd
verse and including the 9th verse:
Giving no offense in anything,
that the ministry be not blamed;
But in all things approving
ourselves as the ministers of
God, in much patience, in afflic-
tions, in necessities, in distresses,
In stripes, in imprisonments,
in tumults, in labours, in watch
ings, in fastings;
by pureness, by knowledge,
by longsuffering, by kindness, by
the Holy Ghost, by love unfeign-
ed"
Again in Second Corinthians.
9th chapter, 14-18:
Be We not unequally yoked
together with unbelievers: fo,
what fellowship hath righteous
ness with unrighteousnesS? and
what communion hath light with
dareekss?
And what concord hath Christ
with Beliai2 or what part hath
he that believeth with an infdel?
And what agreement hath
the temple Of God with idols? for
We are the temple OF the living
God; as God hath said, | will
dwell in them, and walk in them;
and will be their God, and they
shall be my people.
Wherefore come out from
among them, and be ye separate,
saith the Lord, and touch not the
unclean thing; and | will receive
you,
And | will be a Father unto
YOU, and We shall be my sons and
daughters, saith the Lord AL
mighty. y
These promises are for those
who obey Go and none others.
And again we read in Mark,
9Th chapter. that the daughter
of Herodias danced before King
Herod. his Lords, high captains
and chief estates of Galil3e. the
king and them that sat with him
were pleased. The king said unto
the damsel, Ask of me what
ovar thou wilt and I will give it
thee" There is no doubt but
this girl was an expert dancer.
Her mother was an adulteress.
This proud king was living IN
Thus you see that they
were of the world. This glrl's
mother was mad at a certain
GOOD man that bad told the king,
that it was not lawful for HIM to
have his brothers wife, and this
wicked mother persuaded her
daughter to ask for this good
mans head in a charger, which
was granted, thus ending the
life of John the Baptist.
Now we have the picture
drawn. A proud preacher and
pastor of a proud church has
been told by good men and wo7,
men that baseball teams and
playing is not the, place for
Christians, as the ball games and
the gambling that is carried on

in them is of the world and be-
longs to the world. So to carry
the things their way the citizens
of Prescott make the preacher a
present of $45 to show the goo
people that they appreciate what
their preacher is doing, thereby
beheading many John the Bap-
lists. J. 3. HANNAH.

MED. "
20, III get happiness all right

young man cheerfully.
But Fate shook his head sadly
as he mused over the future that
he had written for the young
man.
A woman entered. There was
a great longing in her eyes as she
cried: 20, Fate, give me love!"
Once more Fate wearily said:
Il give nothing. You must pay
the price. What will you give"
I'll give wealth, she said,
"and smiles and beauty and

Fate once more. 81 only sell

asked the man, his eyes wide
open with cupidity.
Yes said Fate coldly.
Then | give it ALL" said the
man. For when have wealth,
| can buy all these things back
and have honor and happiness
too.
1t is written" said Fate
sternly, reading from his book,
that you shall be very rich"
Good" said the man, inter-
rupting, And said Fate,
you shall curse the day on
which you were born, and all
men shall cry 'Amenn "
A man with deep, buring eyes

Fate leaned forward eagerly.
What would you ask""
That arms now weary may

now cold may throb with loye;
and that anguish in other hearts
may be turned to joy"
Much you ask, :" said Fate.
"A great price will it take for
these. What have you?"
Il will give my wealth." said
the man.
Fate waited expectantly.
Il have one chance for a great
honor; | give that.
Still Fate questioned in silence.
Ten chances for love; | give

TO whom shall it be given?"
ITO the poorest, sinfulest,

humbly. He Bowed his head
and with a tender smile went
away.
