Remember the Inmates OF Our County
Home.

The near approach Of Christmas re-
minds me that there are a number
of the citizens of our highly favored
county, who are willing to assist me
in carrying Christmas cheer to the
inmates OF our county home for the
poor and aged. Death has been very
busy during the past year, and many
families faces will be missed this
Christmas, but others have taken their
places, number of whom are sick
and almost helpless. TO them, this
may be the last Christmas on earth.
Can not we make il the best and
brightest they have ever known A
little help from the many, to whom
life is more blessed with friends,
ana home comforts, enables as TO sup
ply their simple wants and wishes.
and give them happy day, the mem
ory OF which fingers with them
Throughout the whole year They are

endless. They are those of whom

BACK FROM MOROCCO.
Mrs. Charles r. Miller, Formerly Of
this County.

JHlS Nuuht!s
From the Baltimore American OF
November 80.
Mrs. Charles r. Miller who has late
ly won unique fame as the only wo-
man war correspondent in the world,
and who has just returned from Me-
lila, in Morocco, where she was on
the firing line in the interest of Les
lies Weekly has ben publishing in
that journal photographs taken by
her on the spot and articles describing
the warfare between the Spanish and
the Moors. In the latest issue she
tells the cameras story of Melilla
with its scenes of war, especially of the
prison camps of the Moors taken in
battle, and the article accompanying,
relating in detail the building Of these
rude prison cities, one sheltering O.
600 captive men, women and children,
their mode of life. the humane, atti-
tude of the Spanish toward their half
savage prisoners, are interesting and
graphic in the extreme. Not the least
interesting feature OF the narrative
is the wonder which Mrs. Miller her
self and her ceamera excited among
these people, particularly the women,
,yho had never before seen a woman Of
e.nother race, and to whom the camera
was thing Of unknown terrors. A
significant point in her article is her
observation on the physical qualities
of the Moors, their fearlessness and
determination In their fighting, and
the consequent trouble the Spanish
are apt to have with this hardy and
warlike race. Mrs. Miller's excursion
To the battlefields OF Morocco, where
she was the only white woman out
side some Spanish servants. makes an
era in journalistic enterprise.

Got Out of IL Well.

One automobile owner in South Paris
is rejoicing in the possession Of Q skin
full of whole bones, not to mention the
car, which was not seriously damaged.
Even though there is hole ''busted"
in the side of the stable.
And it's safe gamble that he'll never
do it again. But he's tested the power of
the machine, and is satisfied with it.
The auto had been left just outside
the stable door, headed in. The owner
went out after supper, got in and tried
the levers, found them all right, stepped
down in front aud turned the crank over.
BIZ z-z.z-zip!
He got out of the way just in time to
save himself.
But the red devil kept right on. 1t
hit the gasoline barrel, which was full,
swerved little, and rsmmed the side of
the stable, to the great damage of the
headlights at least.
And when another member of the
family, who had seen the affair through
the window, jumped into the stable, he
found the fiend still chewing timber. 1t
had taken ont part of the studding and
a brace, but didn't have start enough to
90 clear through.
Next time he crauks the car, it won't
be set on the low gear-or the high one
either, for that matter.

Base Ball.
PARIS H. 9 3. NORWAY n a.

PARIS H. 8. 8; NORWAY H. s 4.
There WAS excitement enough in the
ball game at The high school grounds
Saturday afternoon for two or three or.
binary games, and the best part of it all
was that Paris won. The, weather was
cold and disagreeable, but this did not
prevent large crowd from being pres
emit to enjoy the game. As was expect
ed, the game was a struggle from the
beginning to the end, with Paris show
ing up the stronger in the opening in
nings, and Norway making desperate
but unsuccessful effort to tie the score
in the last two innings.
That Paris was able to win the game
was due largely 10 the splendid. work of
her outfield, and bad the infield done as
we'll NOrway's scores would have been
few and far between. Not one of the
Norway players credited with hit
reached the home plate, all her runs de-
veloping from errors and the two bases
on balls which Cutting gave in the last
two innings. The Paris outfield was
credited with nine put-outs, Lowell and
Durham each making one fine catch at
critical times. Easson accepted three
chances in good style, but they were not
so difficult. Rawson made both of his
errors in the first inning and they cost
nothing. After that he settled down
and played good ball. Witham, who is
one Of the most reliable players on the
team, had bad day, his errors being
very costly. Barrows and Cutting were
continually making their presence in
the game felt. Both fielded perfectly
and their batting was clean cut and
timely. The Norway team played the
better infield game but were unable to
bat Cutting to any extent, getting only
four hits, no two of which came in the
same inning. However. they were quick
to take advantage of Paris errors aud
by so doing scored enough runs to make
things altogether too exciting for COM
fort.
Thompson, Norway's umpire, did not
make favorable impression. II he
gave his decisions as he saw them his
eyesigbt is very much to the bad, and
needs attention. As long as Paris won
they will probably forgive but they are
not liable to forget to the extent of
allowing him to officiate in the next con-
test.
Curtis made one of the best plays of
the game 10 the fifth inning. Frost, the
first batter, sent slow one toward third
base that looked like hit, Curtis rush
ed in scooped up the ball and by fast,
perfect throw got his man at first. The
score:
