By Mary Maxim.
When DER our land the war cloud
Hung like O funeral pail,
And the Star of Peace no longer shone
Ger spire and tree top tall,
Across the brooding silence
or these loved hills of Maine,
The thunder Of Fort Sumter's guns
Echoed their dread refrain.
That was the signal call "To Armsp
And mothers of stalwart sons.
Wives, sisters, sweethearts, trembled
With fear for their loved ones.
From the shelter, calm and peaceful,
OF Old Streaked's shadow gray,
And from homes where loving kindred
Remained to weep and pray,
These loyal sons of Freedom,
Mid rain of shot and shell,
Went forth, all fearless, to defend
The flag they loved 80 well.
On Bull Runs. plains Of crimson,
Antietam'ss. fell of woe,
Brave lads gave up their precious lives
To save from Freedoms foe
Their glorious birthright, dearly bought
BY their fathers blood and sword,
That the pleased boon of Liberty
Anu Union, DC rcstOreu
The wilderness of glory tells.
Which Time can ne'er despoll,
And at Port Hudson's Siege was proved
The mettle of Buckfeld's soil.
At Gettysburg-the bloodiest fray
That soldier e'er passed through,
Surprising history's records all,
Fen far famed Waterloo,
Our boys in service noble,
Did honor to the blue;
Where fell on Little Round Tops crest,
A contradict, brave and true,
And fell diseasetf, whose spectre grim
Stalks In the war clouds train.
Closed eyes beloved, that ne'er beheld
Their native hills again.
And when drew near. at Petersburg,
The end Of that cruel strife,
When the rebel lines were broken
A heroff' laid down his life.
Through that long siege Of torture,
Those days of Terror's reign,
None fought more bravely, noblv,
Than the boys Of Buckdeld, Maine.
And now with pride and reverence
We greet you here to-day,
To honor hearts that faltered not,
When duty led the way.
On graves of heroes mustered out,
From wars alarms set free,
Bright flowers with teardrops wet, we leav
In grateful memory.
And though the years are passing
And these comrades, one by one.
Drop from the ranks, as they onward
March toward the setting sun,
Time can but enhance the glory
OF deeds heroic, brave,
So long as DER US proudly floats
The flag they fought to save.

Paris High School redeemed itself for
it's defeat Friday afternoon by winning
from Bridgton Saturday afternoon in a
very lively game, in which there were
many brilliant plays. The game was
played with a snap and dash by both
teams which made it fine contest to
watch.
The leading feature of the many feat
ures was the excellent pitching of l..
Clark for Paris. With little better
support at critical times he would have
Bridgton's two hits was fly ball which
Titcomb lost in the sun, and the other
came in the ninth inning after Paris had
had an easy chance to retire the side.
His best work was in the third inning,
when with men on second and third and
none out, he struck out the next three
batters.
Three very fast plays prevented Bridg-
ton from scoring in the fifth INNING,
when they filled the bases with none
out. Cutting got the first out by max
ing a fine catch of long fly, G.. Clark
then won applause by pulling in high
foul fly, and Curtis closed the inning by
getting Smiths line drive which was
labeled hit.
1t looked very much like shut-out
for Bridgton when the first two men in
the ninth went out and they had failed
to score, but at this point, Mckinney,
who had a very bad day, lost an easy
chance, and this was followed by base
on balls, hit and two more errors,
which netted three runs before Rawson
got a fly ball for the last put-out.
G. Clark and Gates led in the batting,
both making a single and double and
meeting the ball in fine style. Bridgton
played clean, gentlemanly game, and
took their defeat in the proper manner.
The score:
