THE CALF PATH
By Sam Walter Foss
< 1 The Calf Paths of Agriculture,
the S -bools, Churches, Homes—the
Very Spirit of the People Which are
Established Now, Will Be the Calf
Paths Which Our Children’s Children
Must Follow for Centuries to Come. **
—P. G. Holden.
One day through the primeval good calves wood,
A calf walked home as
should.
But made a trail all bent askew,
A crooked trail, as all calves do.
Since then three hundi«d years have
fled,
And I infer the calf is dead.
But still he left behind his trail,
And thereby hangs my moral tale.
The trail was taken up next day
By a lone dog that passed that way;
And then a wise bell-wether sheep
Pursued the trail o’er vale and steep.
And drew the flock behind him too,
As good bell-wethers always do.
-
And from that day, o’er hill and
glade,
Through those old woods a path was
made.
And many men wound in and out.
And dodged and turned and bent
about.
And uttered words of righteous
wrath,
Because ’twas such a crooked path;
But still they followed—do not laugh
The first migrations of that calf,
0
And through this winding wood-way
stalked
Because he wobbled when he walked.
This forest path became a lane,
TME LEADER TRIRUNF FORT V Al-LEY, C.A , MAY gS. *9?*L
That bent and turned and turned
again;
This crooked lane became a road,
Where many a poor horse with his
load
Toiled on beneath the burning sun,
And traveled some three miles fer
one.
And thus a century and a half
They trod the footsteps of that calf.
The years passed on in swiftness
•fleet, village street;
The road became a
And this before men were aware,
A city’s crowded thoroughfare
And soon the central street was this
Of a renowned metropolis;
And men two centuries and a half
Trod in the footseps of that calf
Each day a hundred thousand rout
*“• **» ““
And o’er his crooked journey went
Th e traffic of a continent.
a hundred thousand men were led
p y one calf near three centuries
dead.
_
They followed still his crooked way,
And lost one hundred years a day;
Ah, many teach— things this tale might
But I am not ordained to preach.

TO MY FRIEND, WILL JONES
Being absent from the city at the
ume of his burial, I wish the pnvi
lege of placing one flower among
the profuse and beautiful tokens of
affection that will bloom perpetually
around the memory of Will Jones.
His guileless heart, ever throbbing
with the pure impulses of a noble
nature, has ceased to beat; his kind -
ly beaming eye is closed forever and
his gentle voice is now hushed in the
silence of the tomb. Would that
wielded a pen that would properly
portray my personal sorrow and
■rrlef over the passing of this
optional character into the
less sleep of death. It is indeed hard
;o realize that this devoted husband ,
loving father, faithful friend and
good , citizen, ... whom , all ,, , honored , and ,
tound pleasure in praising, , has
irom earth to the voiceless land I
am sure there was not a heart with
in the circle of his acquaintance,
capable of appreciating the worth
of integrity and the beauty of Truth,
>ut what experienced a pang of
deep regret at the seemingly un
timely demise of this splendid
sonification of honorable Christian t
manhood. Wherever Will Jones was
known he was spoken of with af
fectionate regard and his memory
will live as long as honor and virtue
are reverenced. While he has gone
from among us he leaves to friends
and relatives a legacy of hope, an
example to follow, a life to emulate,
a character to inspire.
His deeds of kindness, benevo¬
lence and sympathy are his best eu
logy. None but Him Who notes the 1
sparrow s fall can tell the story , of -
his kindliness. He always “looked for
the best in others end g&ve the best
he had,’. If he had a fault it was that
nf treating some of iiis follow crea
tures with a degree of favor they 1
did not deserve. He was most happy!
in promoting the happiness of others,
relieving the necessities of the needy :
and contributing to all ennobling
causes. So broad and comprehensive
was his high concept of Christian
larity that the helpful services he
rendered the negroes led them to re¬
ciprocate his uniform kindness with
reverence and regard. And the rec¬
ollections of his manifold goodness
will be fresh in the hearts of the peo¬
ple of this generation ’till the last
of them is laid asleep in the silent
land.
Even as his orchards were beauti
t ul j n th e j r ^"‘mefry and prolific
in the yield , of the.r golden products,
t o his life was inspiring in Christian
virtues and rich in the fruits of good

God made him firm and undaunted

the lustre of his Christian ex¬
and faith. Calmly and peace
met death as an old familiar

The writer misses him passing to j
and fro; but the recollection of
those days, now gone beyond recall,
have become sacred by the death of
our good friend. He well deserved
the tribute of our people’s honor and
tne sanctity of their tears.
Peace to his ashes and God’s ten
derest care to his loved ones.
