CLOSE BASKETBALL GAME.
Jonesport High Beaten BY Bar Har-
Dor Y. M. C. A. 21 to 20 in Fast Game.

Jonesport, Me-. Feb. 15.-(SpeciaD.-On
of the most exciting basketball games
ever seen in Jonesport was played Thurs
day evening in Is. p. hall between the
Jonesport High school team and select
ed team from Bar Harbor L. NJ. C. A,
the latter winning by score of q to q.
During the last half the game was tied
five times. The teams were very
but the Bar Harbor boys were
considerably heavier than the home
team 1t was a very clean. sportsman
like game, even though II fouls were
called on Bar Harbor and nine on Jones'
port. Both teams are we'll versed in team
work, but very little such work could
be pulled off because of close guarding
and the small size of the hall. For Bar
Harbor, C. Arata and Spratt were espe.
cially strong men and haru to keep COW
cred. For Jonesport the work of Carol
Mitchell was exceptionally good. while
Charlie Mitchell played a very hard
game During the first half Jonesport
High outplayed the visitors, but owing
to injury to one of the players the team
weakened during the last half.

Behold in this mortal poor single man,
Who wanders about all the day;
No one in this world a jot for me-
So long my lodgings pay.
| always shy and ofttimes would cry,
If any young girl wnked at me;
For to tell you the truth, all the friends of my youth
Are all getting married but
Chorus
There's the birds that fly, the pigs in the sty,
The fishes that swim in the sea;
The dogs, the eats, the mice and the rats,
Are all getting married but me-
Now there's only one thing in this world I can dr
And that is to the wild sea;
10 join Brigham Young and the Mormons and the,
Perhaps more happy I'll be.
Now 1T seems very queer there's young girl here,
fancy could take to me,
For the baddoeks the whales the frogs the snas

"The Grave of Washington"

Disturb not his sumbers; let Washington sleep
Meath the boughs of the willow that over him weep
His arm is unnerved. but his deeds remain bright
AS the stars in the dark-vaulted heavens at night
0, wake not the hero; his battles are o'er;
Let him rest undisturbed Potomac's fair shore
On the rivers green border, fowery drest,
with the hearts ne loved fondy let Washington rest
Awak enot his sumbers, tread lightly around
It's the grave of a freeman, his liberty's mound
Thy name is immortal, freedom We won,
Brave sire OF Columbia, Washington
., wake not the hero his battles are o err
Let him rest, calmly rest on his dear native shore
While the Star and the Stripes of country shall wave
Yer the land that can boast of Washingtons grave.

have been observed.
" 1t seems from the spreading of this
report that it has come to the knowl.

thorough than they contemplated and
that they mean to perfect their work,
placing, as usual the blame on the suf.
ferers."
