Other scores were as follows:

North East 10; Oxford I.
Havre de Grace 5; Elkton 3.
Three straight victories is not
so bad.
Elkton must surely be sore to
see her old rival in the lead. Port
Deposit comes here for a game
next Saturday.
Proprietor 'vic" Willis, of the
Washington House has had some
Tri-County League schedules
printed in neat pamphlets.
Elk Mills is the only team in the
league that has failed to win a
game and yet this team looks
stronger than several others and
will not likely remain in last place
long.
Havre de Grace looks fairly
strong and will be here for two
games on Memorial Day. morning

reputation Of being an aggressive

doubt make those two games live

they put it on ice as early as the

Twas not 40 long ago when schools
We're run by quaint and ancient rules
Geography and spelling lay
Their gloom on many a perfect day;
Arithmetic and grammar made
The most audacious lad afraid.
While history. how many a game

As for the girls, they learned to smirk.
Read French and do some fancy work;
To rattle off The Ma!den's Prayer.
TO paint ON harmless chinaware;
To dance with many bushes. and
Tncannily to understand
When any partner arhsd to call
That fate was kindly after all.
Now all Is changed; our Roman roots
Have hanshcd been 10y crops and shoots;
Where once they fought declensions, We
Now fight disease of grain and tree.
Where once they parsed the time away
Wa try to make an acre pay.
Where once they scanned Nirgllan odes
We scan increasing harvest loads.
As for the modern maid. she knows
She reaps not best who always sews.
Therefore, where once her sisters sighed
ON questions they could not decide,
She tells mankind the thing to do.
And mankind balks, but puts it through
Adept In politics and game.

MY SHIP.

A rumor ran thro' the seaside town,
And came at last to me,
That riding safe inside the bar
My ship was home from sea.
Heavy had weighed the weary years
While she oUtrode the blast.
And I hurried down thro the little town
To claim my own at last.
The townsmen laughed at my eagerness
To see what she had brought.
Both wealth and fame / now could claim.
For these ! long had sought.
Upon the quay I stood and stared;
Was this the ship for me?
She did not ride the swelling tide.
AS when she put to sea.
Her hull was scarcely more than hulk.
Battered by seas accurs'd.
Her sails were torn, her rigging worn.
The storms had done their worst.
Upon the deck the skipper stood.
And gaunt and gray was he.
Tho old and worn l could have sworn
The skipper looked like me.
What has my ship brought home?"
cried
How much OF wealth and fame?"
At this he shook his hoary head.
But never word there came.
For thee there's naugh; uf fame and
gold"
The skipper answered me.

And tho the man looked gaunt and gray.
He seemed quite free from Gaze.

Than wealth and fame moro rare.
