Kline got two-base hit, scoring
j. Peulen. Dixon drove one down
the first base line that should have
been called a foul but the jumps
called it a fair hit. The right
fielder having to 60 so far behind
the foul line to recover the ball he
naturally thought it was called a
fCal, therefore he did not bury,
but when he relayed the ball to
Lohr, Dixon was racing for third
base, Lohr then made a wild
throw, allowing Dixon to score.
Morse out on fly to Burn and
Mcpherson popped up a short fly
to Eros retiring the side with the
score tied up.
The locals, in their half of the
fifth and sixth frames, had the op-
ponent's pitcher in bad position
and it was only by some fast field
work that his team mates was able
to pull him out of a bad hole, and
especially so in the sixth inning.
Goul, the first man up in this
frame, got a safe hit, stole second
and went to third on a wild
pitched ball. Bud struck out.
Eros tried to lay down a short
one and Goul started for home on
the delivery. Eros got a little
more force behind his bat than
was necessary, therefore, allowing
Morse to recover the ball in time
to throw out Goul at the home
plate. Eros stole second and third.
Lohr passed on balls and stole
second. John, who came to bat in
this frame for Ray, was given a
pass, filling the bases. Burn drove
out a long high fly to center field
and Dixon, after making beauti-
full running catch, retired the side.
From then to the end of the game
the locals we're unable to get a
man safely beyond first base.
The visitors figured again on the
score board in the sixth and eighth
frames. McGarry, who was the
first man up in the sixth frame,
got a three bagger. Hart was
thrown out, Brad to Lohr. N.
Peulen was hit with a pitched ball.
j. Peulen drove a grounder to
Lohr and McGarry started home
on the hit. 1t was Lohr's play to
deliver the ball to the plate to
head off McGarry. but instead he
put out j. Peulen unassisted and
then threw the ball home after
McGarry had scored. Donahue
struck out, retiring the side.

visitors got one more score. Nc

Resolve

Build on resolve, and not upon regret
The structure of the future. Do not grope
Among the shadows Of old sins, but let
Thine own souls light shine on the path of hope
And dissipate the darkness. Waste no tears
Upon the blotted record of lost years.
But turn the leaf and smile, oh, smile to see
The fair white pages that remain for thee
Prate not of thy repentance. But believe
That spark divine dwells in thee. Let it grow,
That which the approaching spirit can achieve
The grand and alternative forces know,
They will assist and strengthen as the light
Lifts up the acorn to the oak trees height,
Thou hast but to resolve, and 10! Gods whole
Great universe shall fortify thy soul.

I48&ag) tion, its monuments, it's
HYW4 antiquity and it's history,
lEND Metz is one of the most
interesting cities of western
Europe. Built on a high hill at
the junction of the Moselle and of
the Seille, Metz, when Caesar un-
dertook his invasion of Gaul, was
already an almost impregnable
position, on which the Medioma-
tries. one of the most formidable
tribes that Caesar undertook to
conquer, proceeded to establish
their capital, which they called
Duodorum Mediomatricorum, says
the Christian Science Monitor.
The humble huts of these war
riors were later replaced by
gorgeous Roman temples and by
the palaces of the kings of Aus
trasia. For in spite of their
strength and courage, the Medic
matrics were unable to resist the
Romans. who transformed Duo
dorum into one of the most i'm
portant strategical points of their
empire.
Great roads crossed the city in
diverse directions, leading to
Reims. Toul, Treves, and Stras-
bourg. In the year 451 Attila and
his hordes did not spare Mettis. as
the city was then called, and their
example was followed by the Van
dals. During the Merovingian
dynasty it became the capital of
the kings of Austrasia; Charlie
magne granted to the bishops of
Metz-for the city ever since the
third century had been the seat of
a bishopric-such extensive privi-
leges that they soon became the
real lords of the town, although
they humbly professed to be the
vassals of the emperors. At that
period Metz was self-governing.
being ruled by an alderman and a
council of thirteen, as we'll as by a
great council of elders.
In the tenth century the Ger
man emperors appropriated Metz,
which was ruled by Henry the
Fowler in 945, but the indepen-
dent old city soon took advantage
of the internal dissensions raging
in the Holy empire to recover the
prerogatives it enjoyed as a free
city. Henry II of France and his
troops occupied Metz in 1859 and
defended it victoriously against
Charles V, who could not resign
himself to the loss of so important
a stronghold. Metz was con-
sequently invested by an army of
$4,000 men, and ia cannon fired
14,OO0 shots on the city, which
was a record in bombardments at
that period. After two months of
extraordinary and untiring efforts,
having lost third of his troops,
the emperor rather, the duke of
Alba who directed the siege-was
obliged to retire, much to the
satisfaction of the French, who,
numbering only 5000 men, were
commanded by the Duke Francois
de Guise. Charles V then ceded
Toul and Verdun to France.
The Messins had never sought to
dissimulate the love they felt for
France; later, the inhabitants of
the valiant city declared that they
would never take up arms against
the French king, Charles VIII.
In 1857 the ambitious cardinal of
Lorraine was obliged to take in
ferior rank, owing to the forced
cession which granted the king OF
France pretended rights to the
sovereignty of Metz. And al
though the latter modestly as
sumed the title of protector, he
was, in fact. master of the city.
1t was only in 1858 that Henry
III officially took the title OF
sovereign lord of Metz. In 164a
Louis XIII endowed Metz with a

favor of the locals.
But with the opening of the
fifth frame the visitors by getting
the "ump's' support and aided by
Lohr's wild throw over third base
and Jams muff of a thrown ball at

the score. j. Peulen, the first man
up, drew a pass on balls. In steal

SCHOOL TAX RESOLUTION FAILS
X. II. Gray Says No More Efficient
Plan Can Be PrpDared,

The resolution which the board OF
directors of the Commercial Club re-
jected would have called for raising
the school tax about % per cent. r
II. Gray, one of the members of the
educational committee said that the
committee could not prepare any 9th
er which would differ in any essential
feature from the one rejected.
1T has been suggested that $20,-
600 be raised by popular subscrip-
tion," he said. but this plan would
not be very successful since men wN,
have no children in the schools would
be unwilling to contribute.
Most of the teachers could get
twice their present salary in business
and they could not be blamed for go
ing into something more remunera-
tive. 1t will then be too late to get
them back and the community will
suffer accordingly"
1t is probable that the board will
take up the matter at its next meeting,
perhaps early this week.

ONE DAY LEFT
TO LIST NAMES
FOR DIRECTORS

But one day remains for the reg
istration of names of candidates
for places on the school board. Ac-
cording to the official notice ap-
pearing elsewhere in this issue of
the News, the names of candidates
must be listed with the clerk of the
school board not later than March %.
Thus far only three citizens have
evidenced a willingness to accept
the responsibilities of school board
work-just sufficient to fill the
vacancies for which the election
has been called. And it now looks
as though the three candidates would
be permitted to make the race I'M
opposed There is no talk of rival
ticket and nothing to indicate that
even single new name will be
listed.
Clerk John H. Scott, of the school
board, has informed the News that
the three candidates already entered,
are eminently satisfactory to the
members of the board who will con-
tinue in office, and he is confident
that they will prove satisfactory to
taxpayers and parents during the
coming year. But he regrets the
apparent lack of interest in school
affairs, as indicated by the failure
of additional candidates to make
their appearance. He and the other
members of the present board de-
sire the public to know that there
is no limit to the number of candi-
dates who may enter their names
with the clrek, providing they do
so before tomorrow night. Any
citizen, man or woman, may be-
come a candidate.
The three candidates whose names
have been listed with the clerk are
Geo. W. Pennington, present treas
urer of the board, whose term will
expire this month; Carl Schmidt,
who served term as clerk on the
first board elected; and Robert
JOSEPH Diven, pastor of Grace
chur; L.
The retiring members, in addition
to Mr.. Pennington, are Mrs. NJ. J.
Sweeney, who has served as presi-
dent of the board since the organ
ization of the district, and Mrs
Jeanette Ellenson, assessor, who
left for the Outside several weeks
ago.
