your head aches, your nerves are weak,

Sweet, the chords blending
That blend to beguile you,
Fearing the hateful,
Cold world might defile you;
For buoyant the heart is,
And dear is it's pleasure;
When, breathing life's music,
We step to it's measure.
Soft, the tones falling
That fall to relieve you
Cynics be banished!
They merely deceive you;
For melody's duty,
And harmony, pleasure;
If breathing life's music
We step to its measure.

Two Thousand More Voted.
SPECIAL TOWN MEETING RUNS WITHOUT

The business of the special town meet

The meeting was called to order
punctually by Town Clerk Wheeler
The attendance did not exceed one hun

Hon. James S. Wright was unanimous.
ly elected moderator.
The second article, to see if the town
would vote to raise two thousand dollars
additional to the eight thousand raised
at the annual meeting to complete and
furnish the high school building, was
taken up. Judge Wilson for the build
ing committee presented written re-
port, the substance of which was pub
lished in the Democrat last week. 1t
shows in brief that the committee had
decided after consultation with the archi-
tect and the lowest bidder for the con-
tract, that two thousand dollars more
would be required to complete and fur
nish the building;and the committee then
decided to lay the matter before the
town rather than involve the town in any
expenditures not voted for.
Walter l.. Gray moved to raise the
$1,000. The motion was stated by the
moderator, who gave an opportunity for
discussion, but none was Forthcoming.
and after waiting short time he put
the question. There was a good chorus
of "Yes" and not a single No" The
treasurer was authorized to hire that
sum when needed, and it was voted to
have it assessed after the assessment of
the $4,000 voted by the annual meeting is
completed, and on similar terms.
For building the new road laid out by
the county commissioners near Streaked
Mountain the sum of $500 was raised, to
be assessed next year, and the selectmen
were instructed to build the road this
season.
The meeting adjourned after session
of less than half an hour.

The June Bugs played return game
with West Paris at the school yard Sat
urday afternoon, and inflicted second
defeat upon them. The West Paris boys
were allowed two scores, which they
made on a wild throw, while the June
Bugs piled up somewhere from 10 to Is
the number seems to be little un-
certain.
A very decisive victory was won on
the fair grounds Saturday, when the
Paris Hill Second defeated the Norway
High Second by the overwhelming score
of 81 to s. Fourteen of the visiting
teams runs were scored in the first
inning. Cole pitched very good game
for Paris, while he was backed up very
well by Newton Cummings. There were
no remarkable features or plays on
either side except Lyons unintentional
double play. Batteries, Cole, Strout,
and Cummings; Brown and Mixer.
The challenge game between Paris
High School and the Old Timers was
duly pulled off at o'clock Thursday
afternoon, according to arrangement by
the parties, ana conSlueraoie ihtelosV
was displayed. The game ran quite
evenly until at the end of the ninth the
official score showed 6 for the High
School and for the Old Timers. Then
Curtis of the Old Timers claimed a
score which he said he made in the third
inning, where the score book showed a
cipher for the Old Timers. After more
or less talk the score was allowed by the
High School boys, thus making the re
suit tie, and they went on for the tenth
inning. In this inning the old Timers
ran in . and the High School l, making
the final score to : in favor of the Old

it as defeat, though some of them are
inclined to regard the result as tainted
with suspicion.
