that they shall play for thirty hours

THE FOOLS PRAYER.
THE FOOLS PRAYER.


The royal feast was done; the king
Sought some new sport to Danish
care,
And to his jester cried: sSir Fool,
hneel now, and make for us a pray
The jester dotted his cap and bells,
And stood the hooking court be-
fore
They could not see the bitter smile
Behind the painted grin he wore.
He bowed his head and bent his knee
Upon the monarchs silken stool;
His pleading voice arose: 80 Lord,
Be merciful to me, a fool
No pity, Lord, could change the heart
From red with wrong to white as wool;
The rod must heal the sin; but. Lord,
BE merciful to me, fool.
It's not by guilt the onward sweep
OF truth and right. Q Lord, we stay;
It's by our follies that so long
We hold the earth from heaven away.

Go crushing blossoms without end;
These hard. web meaning hands we th;ust
Among the heartstrings of friend.

The word we had not sense to say
Who lSRpws how grandly it had runs!
sour faults no tenderness should ask,
The Christening stripes must cleanse them
all;
But for our blunders-O, in shame
Before the eyes OF heaven we fall.
"Esrth bears no balsam for mistakes;
Men crown the knave and scourge the
tool
That did his WILL but Thou. 0 Lord,
Be merciful TO me, fool!
The room was hushed; in silence rose
The king. and sought his gardens cool,
And walked apart, and murmured low,
BE merciful to me, fool"

VINCENT MAKES STATEMENT.
Ball Players Say Umpire Was Not
Forced to Change His Decision.

Vincent July 17.-(SpeciaI-As the
writers Of Childersburg have seen fit to
declare the report of the game of base
ball between Vincent and Childersburg
as untrue, we as captain protein and
umpire desire to say that it was agreed
to play only seven innings. At the close
of the seventh inning the score was and
I, we then agreed to play it off. In Vim
cents half of the eighth inning with
man on third and second bases, Pitcher
Smith threw a wild ball which Catcher
Knox failed to stop and the ball hit the
back stop and rebounded and as Denty
was not we'll up on the rules he attempt
ed to return to third base. Catcher Knox
recovered the ball and put on Deny, Chill
dersburg claiming the runner was out on
account of the back stop not being ninety
feet from the home base. The umpire
withheld his decision until he investigat-
ed the rules, and after referring to the
rule book he declared that Denly was
entitled to score. The backstop is mot
the required distance but Childersburg
had played the game up to the eighth
inning and also a game of nine innings
on previous date without complaint
against the distance of the back stop
from home base.
Upon Denty's being allowed to score
Childersburg left the diamond, which
under a strict construction of the rules
the umpire would have declared the game
8 to In favor of Vincent. The state
ment that the umpire was forced by the
crowd to reverse his decision is absolute
ly false. w. H. KIDD. Umpire.

await the action by the council on Mon

Ger Jesse Seay beat a stonecutter at
work on the river bridge here. Accord
ing to the evidence before the mayor
this morning both men had been drinking
and the stonecutter. Robert Barrey by
name, made some uncomplimentary allu-
sion to Seay's daughter. The latter
struck him over the head with his pistol
and knocked him down several times.
He then pointed his pistol at him and
dared him to get off the floor. Officer
Moseley came into the saloon where the
difficulty occurred. and. It Is said, Seay
pointed the weapon at him and cursing
him told him to get out or he would
shoot him. Instead of arresting his
brother officer, Moseley went for the
chief. Two other officers. Fulton and
Philen, soon came up and Moseley, re-
turning with the three, took the pistol
away from Seay, but he was not arrested
until the chief himself caught him. In
court the mayor fined seay s45 for an
assault with q weapon and the suspension
of the chief made Immediately after the
fight was continued. The mayor then
recommended the suspension of Officers
Moseley, Philen and Fulford, but later
withdrew Philen's name The chief
promptly suspended the three named.
Officer Davis was accused of being
drunk and being tried for the offense
he was discharged, the mayor, however.

Officers of low and high degree must

are aroused and things that would have
