‘There are fine piked or paved
highways to all three of these nation-
al shrines affording easy and pleas-
ant access by automobile. I advise
any one with time and means to vis-
dt one of our great battlefields and
cemeteries. It is all well enough to
read about them, but nothing brings
.one the close personal touch and
;gives him so lively an appreciation
«of the meaning of civil war and of
the nation it preserved as an actual
-wision of the scenes of one of its his-
‘#oric engagements and of the monu-
taken from the battleship
‘and soldiers from the Spanish-Amer- |
jcan war. Here the President of
the United States is usually the]
Memorial day orator. i
At Arlington stands the home of |
Robert E. Lee, formerly the property
of George Washington Parke Cus-
tis, the adopted son of George Wash-
ington. It looks directly across
the river to the new Lincoln mem-
orial now being erected on the oth-
er shore of the Potomac. Between
the two is to stretch the Linceln
bridge, so Arlington is also linked |
to that beloved name. Beyond rises
(sanctioned by the
owners of the track, staged the race
meets.
The first race, a championship
event will be held July 4, instead of
the usual Flag day opening in June.
The change was made because,
is a much more appropriate date for
the Altoona premiere and will give
an opportunity to add color and
glamor to the national July Fourth
celebration.”
The usual Labor day meet will be |
held as in the past. Both races,

The superintendent of the cemetery,
Captain Magoon, who, by the way,
is a brother of Charles E. Magoon

an interesting story of the gathering

SOME FISHERMEN
MAKE GOOD BUTCHERS.
Charles F. Cook, Howard Gear-
hart, John Nighthart, James Fox
and H. J. Parker went down to Cur-
tin to fish, last Thursday afternoon,
Nighthart landed a big fall fish, but
it fell off the hook just as he had
gotten it ashore. Instantly there
was the usual excitement of keeping
the fish from wiggling back into
from crawled for water and were hence the water. As is always the case
the fisherman usually grabs at the
spot the fish has just left and this
| fisherman was no exception, so the
big fall fish is still swimming around
in the Bald Eagle and John Night-
hart is nursing a very sore little
finger.

he was doing so, and the heavy

There were no surgeons in the

it out, leaving a finger that looked
as though it had gone through a
fodder shredder.
It is needless to say that the us-
ually amiable and quiet Mr. Night-
hart let out a yell that proved that
he need never worry about the ro-
bustness of either his lungs or his
vocal organs.
