Paris High School team went to Me-
chanic Falls Saturday for return game
with that team. The team went in
large barge and was accompanied by a
delegation of young ladies from the
school, and despite the fact that they
were badly beaten they report fine
time. The game started as II 1t was
going to be a hard contest and until
Capt. Wheeler was injured and obliged
to retire from the game neither side had
scored. Wheeler was injured in trying
to block a line drive, the ball hitting
him on the end of the finger and making
a wound that required several stitches
to close. After this loose playing by
the Paris team and hard batting by Me-
chanic Falls enabled Mechanic Falls to
win easily.

South Paris Grammar School had an
EASY time Saturday afternoon in their
game with Paris Hill Grammar School,
which was played at the brick school
house yard, South Paris at the ina
reck oning having 20 more runs than
Paris Hill were able to get. In justice
to the Paris Hill boys 1t should be said
that they won their game at the Hill
week ago by a score of 9 to 3, instead OF
the Norway boys winning as they re-
ported.
The Alfreds of Auburn failed to put
in an appearance Saturday, so that there
was no game at the fair grounds. Mex
Saturday Radcliffe will appear in theil
new uniforms which have arrived, ana
band concert will be given before the
game. We are unable to state who tht
opposing team will be.

Saturday, and were able to get five mer

Much interest has been aroused in thi:
village by a game which will probabl!
be PLAYED Memorial Day. The teami
will be composed one Of the married
men and the other of the single men O
the village. The married men have
barred five of the single mems team

Paris School Notes.

The high school continues fourteen
weeks, and graduation is to be June 21st.
This institution Is doing excellent work;
the teachers and pupils seem to value q
good education. Mr.. E. F. Clason, tho
principal, is active in labors for the best
good of all. He graduated from Bates
College in 1902, and has taught the high
schools of Cranberry Isles off Mt. Desert,
of Newport and of Lisbon, Maine. This
term Mr.. Clason teaches geometry, civil
government, geology, Latin, English
history, chemistry, and prepares the
seniors for graduation.
Miss s. L. Rounds Is favorably known
as q South Paris young lady, graduating
from our high school in 1893, from Bates
College In 1899. She also took French
in the Notre Dame Convent in Lewiston.
She has taught year in Houlton and
four years in Leavitt Institute, Turner,
Maine. Her classes are Cicero, Virgil,
Anabasis, Homer, history, commercial
geography and Caesar.
Miss Florence NJ. Jewett has been
honored by her native town of Denmark,
Maine, by election as superintendent OF
schools, and has many friends in our
town. She graduated from Denmark
High School in 1894, and later studied in
Fryeburg Academy, and took French in
the Lewiston convent. She taught FIVE
years in the Denmark High School, and
Is on her fourth year here. Her classes
are taking algebra, French, English,
botany and history.
Very few citizens visit any of our
schools, but they are cordially invited to
do so.
North Paris and most of the rural
schools will close June 9Th.
Some teachers are making lists Of
birds and flowers seen by their pupils
this term.
All boys should collect and label speci
mems of wood, and it may interest girls
to do the same.
Governor Cobb would perhaps be sur
prised to learn that many children do moi
know his name, and can not tell who ART
our two United States senator's.
The plan now Is to promote classes a
the end of this term though they show
the loss OF winter term. A part o.
this deficiency may be regained In thu
coming year.
The pupils in West Paris show thu
good results Of thorough drill.

The Observance Of Memorial Day

The marching Of the 'sthin blue line''
Sunday afternoon was even to the
thoughtless . touching and impressive
sight. Though their shoulders were
bent and their bodies weak, the heads
Of the soldiers were erect. Well may
they know that NO citizen In this great
land has prouder right to our homage
at this time. In that line are the men,
who as nero boys, relinquished all, wit
messed scenes Of ghastly horror, endured
awful suffering, that this nation might
be saved.
Well may the government set apart
this week Memorial Day. Well may
We all pause to realize the frightful cost
of our nations life; to feel what the love
of the flag has meant. Well may we
devote this day to honoring the living
soldier, to rendering tribute to the SOL
der dead. Sweet, holy day; day Of
tender memories, of grateful homage.
But 10 this what the day has come to
mean? Alas, 70. For scarcely has the
"thin blue line'' passed out of view,
scarcely has the muffled drum beat died
away, when there burst upon the ear the
shouts Of our ball teams and their sup
porters pressing eagerly on to celebrate
the soldiers funeral day with revelry
and fun. Is this the result of our cul-
tured homes, of our boasted schools?
Have the minds of our boys and girls
been filled with the facts of text books,
while the deeper lessons of the heart
gratitude, reverence, appreciati0n-have
been lost? And are we to give up simply
the hour set apart for the public exer-
cises of this occasion? To the soldier
this is more than a patriotic day. 1t is
indeed sacred, solemn Memorial Day.
Must they, who have but now placed the
flag and wreath over the breasts of their
sleeping comrades, be thus Knocked by
the sounds of sport! Must the men for
whom no honor is too great, on this day
of days be thus coolly ignored!
Citizenship and patriotism demand
that we show our respect for the occa-
sion by listening to its orator, by shar-
ing in all the exercises and by remember
ing that the whole day has been set
apart. But above all for the soldiers
sake. When they are gone we may for. |
get the day If We must. But let us wait |
l while, only little while. Their weary
march is almost over, for the Great
Commander is fast calling his tired SOL |
1iers into camp.
While they are with us let us be glad |
and proud to show them the honor that |
g their due. Let US sacrifice anything |
,ather than desecrate their holy day.
And let US hope that when no living SOL
lier remains we shall not then forget |
,ur soldier dead. Let us hope that the
people of South Paris at least will never
become so lost to common justice, to
to gratitude, as to forget the
meaning Of Memorial Day.

Ethnologically Great Britain is a mix

sions by the Danes and other Scandi-

conquest. The inhabitants of England
and the lowlands of Scotland, there
fore, sprang from an amalgamation of
the original Celtic with German and
Scandinavian blood. Wales and the
highlands of Scotland are still lnhabit-
ed by descendants of the ancient Celtic
tribes. The people of Ireland also are
of Celtic origin, although there is an
