POST OFFICES AT OXFORD AND eILEAD
ENTERED.

Some time Tuesday night the post
office at Oxford was entered by forcing
the door with some kind OF instrument,
breaking the look. The mail and other
things in the office were pretty we'll rum
mayed and stirred up, but nothing was
taken. No money or stamps are ieft IN
the Office over night.
Nothing was heard OF the burglars,
and the break was not discovered until
morning. The only trace of anybody
that could be found was tracks-seen by
Charles Lovejoy, who lives some dis
tance from the village, early Wednesday
morning, which may be those OF the
burglars. These were the tracks OF
three men, one being larger than the
other two, and they we're heading in the
direction of Norway.
Wednesday night the post office and
store of r. B. Coffin at Gilead was brok-
en- into, and about $3.50 worth Of stamps
were taken, which were in . small safe
that was not locked. Tracks Of three
men were seen about the place, CORE
spending generally to those described as
being seen in Oxford.
A few canned goods, and some cigars,
pipes and tobacco were taken from
Collins store, and the burglars evidently
sat down on the platform at the front OF
thestore and made hearty meal before
leaving town.
Three men, one large and two smaller,
whose business was not apparent, were
about South Paris in the vicinity OF the
railroad station for some time Wednes-
day, but as the Oxford break was not
known Of here until that evening, no
move was made to investigate them.
On Thursday Sheriff Bartlett of Stone
ham and Deputies Cole of South Paris
and Bicknell of Norway went to Gilead
and investigated, and from there made a
thorough search both sides of the river
as far as Gorham, N. H., but without
result. 1t is probable that the yeggs got
away on freight train.

Base Ball.
p. II. s. Z. N. Il. S. ..


Paris High played its last game OF base
bali for this season with Norway High or
the Fair Grounds, Saturday. This was
the third game between these two teams.
Norway won the first two but Paris was
after the last one.
Paris outbatted Norway two to one but
put up poor game in the field at times.
Titcomb and Durham were the principal
offenders for Paris in the error line,
neither being able to control their
throws. Titcomb made a pretty assist
of grounder which went through Dun
ham.
The features were the timely batting
of K. Witham aud c. Durham, and the
fielding of S. Davis. II. Durham, f.
Witham, and Bartlett also made timely
hits. Both pitchers pitched excellent
ball, Lowell, however, was more steady.
The catchers for both teams caught
steady ball.
Norway scored two runs in the first
inning. Haskell aud Yeatou were on the
bases through errors by Titcomb and
Durham when q. Durham drove q sim
gle over second and both men scored as
l.. Davis let the ball 60 by him. In the
third for Paris, Bartlett, Durham and
Titcomb filled the bases on the two
errors by Shepard and one by Haskell.
K. Witham drove two Dagger along the
left field line which scored all three and
he later scored On Newton's single. For
Norway, Russell reached first on field
er's choice and scored on Dunham's two
base hit.
Norway scored two more runs in the
fifth on three errors and an outfield
fly. In the seventh Fl. Durham singled,
stole second, and scored on F. Williams
single. In the eighth, Newton receievd
base on balls, l.. Davis drove a long fly
to right field, S. Davis made single, Bart
lett another, scoring Newton, and Dun
ham made his second base hit which
brought S. Davis in. Bartlett was caught
at the plate on the squeeze-play. This
ended the scoring for both sides.

Dear schoolmates, happy, bright and gay,
It makes US sad to say goodbye
And separate our paths for aye.
Our lessons soon will all be said,
Our work we all will soon complete,
And we must part and nevermore
In dear old Paris High School meet
Through winters storms and summers flowers
To school we very oft have come;
With joyful hearts and willing hands
Our work we each have always done.
Some days we've met with cheerful hearts,
Some days in sadness and In gloom,
Some days we've seen the drifting snow,
Some days the pretty flowers in bloom.
Oh, happy days-come back, come back,
Your Joys we never fully knew
TIL cruel time had rushed you by
And you had faded from our view.
But brightest day will have Its night,
The loveliest flowers must fade and die,
And fondest joys must have an end.
And all will have to say goodbye"

A Benedictine father travelled half a

The priest spoke Of what good such

[The article on creosote block paw
ing, installment one, which appeared
in last nights Forum contained a
typographical error which spoiled the
sense of one of the most important
paragraphs in the article. The point
intended was to show why the ini-
tia1 cost was not the most important
item to consider. though Of course, one
that should carefully be considered.
The types mixed up the figures In the
comparison and that paragraph Is set
correctly and is as follows: THE ini-
tial cost of a street pavement is an
important item and yet not always
so important as some would lead you
to believe. The cheapest pavement
to lay is not always the cheapest in
the long run. Al pavement which costs
81 per square yard and lasts ten years
Is not as cheap az one which costs
SO per square yard and lasts twenty
years. The first costs 20 cents per
yard per year; the second only Is
cents per yard per year.v1.
