ABRAHAM LINCOLN

His the woodmans rugged frame, knightly spirit bold, The simple ways and studious tastes, Of the anchorites of old. His heart was tender with love For all humanity; He heard the wailing of the slaves, And yearned to set them free. No honest labor ever sharned His spirit sound and true; That which laid nearest to his hand He never failed to do; Through hardship, toil and bitter pain He walked serenely brave, The narrow, upward path that led To glory and the grave. Though many year above his dust Has shed its suns and rains; A pattern still for all the world His memory remains And laurel wreath and martyrs crown Around his are blent, And every black he freed is now His living monument.

Roller Polo Next
Winter for Main e

A movement is on foot to have
league polo in Maine next season and
Lewiston is included in the plans as
one of the cities to be represented in
the league. The scheme was in part
formed by L. D. Mathis of Portland
and James Cameron of Pawtucket.
Cameron has been in Maine recently,
having come to Lewiston with a polo
team. Instead of returning at once,
he stopped off in Portland and he and
Mathis al once began laying their
plans.
Lewiston and Bath are considered
ripe for the game. Lewiston is pack
ing City hall every Saturday night
now to see professional games
and the interest in roller polo here is
keen. 1t has been remarked in Lew
iston many times that Lewiston would
give a good team fine support Port
land could be depended upon, of course,
to support the game.
The plan as now outlined would be
to have at least three Maine cities,
possibly Manchester, n. H., and have
Massachusetts cities complete the cir
cult. If New England baseball proves
success in Lewiston this summer
and there is every reason to believe
that it will, it is thought that the city
would more than welcome a good
team.
