MARK TWAIN'S WAR PRAYER
Dr. Henry Neumann, in an ad
dress at the Brooklyn academy of
music Sunday, quoted from an un
published article of Mark Twain on
the subject of war. He sa?d:
"A few years before his death,
Mark Twain wrote an article en
titled the "War Prayer.' It de
scribes how a regiment gathers in a
church before it departs- for the
war and pravs for victory. As the
prayer concludes a white robed
stranger enters the church and
says: "I have been dent by the
Almighty to tell you that he will
grant your petition if you still de
sire it after I have explained to you
its full import. You are asking
for more than you seem to be
aware of. You have prayed aloud
for victory, over your foes, but
listen now to the unspoken portion
of your prayer and ask yourselves
if this is what you desire."
"Then the stranger speaks aloud
these implications of their words:
'O, Lord help uc. to tear the soldiers
of the foe to bloody shreds with
our shells; help us to cover theii
smiling fields with the pale forms
of their patriotic dead; help us to
lay waste their humble home with
a hurricane of fire; help us to wring
. the hearts of their unoffending
widows with unavailing grief.
Blast their hopes, blight their lives,
wat^r their way with tears.
"Mark Twain never published
this article. His friends told him
it would be regarded as a sacrilege.
Is it really sacrilege to, say that
men cannot pray for victory in war
without asking for these inevitable
' implications of their petition? What
would it mean if we remembered
this when the war spirit is abroad.

THE LOST MINE
To the snuth of Carrara lies
what is kno*n as Forty Mile Can
yon. Regularly several times a
year several prospecting outfits will
go through Carrara in search ol
the lost mine. Carrara is now the
nearest jumping off place for tnese
parties.
The first appearance of the lost
mine of Forty Mile, was in the
earliest Pioneer days. One of the
parties of emigrants ? who after
ward perished at Camp Distress in
Death Valley, came down through
Fifty Mile nn their way coastward.
? Almost all of t'ie party perished
in Dsath Valley, but one or two o
them survived. One of the sur
vivors afterward met with a prosj
pctor up at Barstow ? around 1880.
He>howed the prospector some ex
ceotionally rich rock which he said
had come irom Forty .Mile and gave
a description of the surroundings
which included a spring near'sev
eral Indian trails, a big cottonwood
and a peculiar fork in the canyon.
The prospector left Barstow
shortly afterwards and hiked up
through with h burro pack into
Forty Mile. Ho found the cotton
wood, the trail and the spring ai.d
was searching for the ledge when
attacked by Indians. After some
trouble he reached California, with
his scalp on but the experience
discouragtd him and he did not at
tempt to return.
Years after that Ben Logan, once
of Beatty, heard the story from
his lips and went up to Forty Mile

with a burro pack hunting for the
scene of the strike. He was able
to find the branching canyons, final
ly found a few old trails which con
verged at a dried up spring, but
could not find no cuttonwood trees
nor float. For jome time he pros
pected through there hut finally
gave it up as a bad job.
Two years ago one of the In
dians who found the Shoshone took
some high grade rock up to Gar
field, which he sold to a broker for
twenty dollars a pound. The brok
er resold for fifty dollar a pound,
but the Indian had disappeared,
and no information cculd be glean
ed concerning his whereabouts.
The Iudian was ultimately trailed
to a point around Oak Springs
and from there the trail headed to
wards Forty Mile. Some float was
found near the Indian's old camp.
Shortly after his appcarance in
Goldfield a party headed by Lige
Harris came down here on a trip
through the canyon. They return
ed empty handed and went north
after two cr three vain attempts
to locate the place. It is this ledge
that the party is to search for.
Good luck to them in their search.

Dancing Always Popular.
In tho very far east Confucius,
who lived nearly 600 years before
Christ, mentions the dancing of war
riors and of the outcast women. In
the ancient Japanese scrolls constant
pictures appear of dancing girls and
warriors. And In Phoenicia and Lu
canla, Sparta and ancient Grccce al
ways we find that dancing was a part
of the life of the people, juijt aa it Is
today.
Emotions Expressed in Dancing.
In the Vedas of the Hindus, some
)' which date back G.OOO years before
Christ, thero is steady reference to
lancing as an expression of triumph,
vorah :p, and ever, the deepest grief,
t is the Fame In the Zendavestan of
he Persians. Dancing with cymbals
ind tambourines, with bells tied to
heir rnkles and wrists cr around
heir waists- was an art that the
)rlestnsseT in tho temples must on
