THE COMMON
HEART
By DOUGLAS MALLocn

THE Lord has made Us much alike,
And made Us all akin:
Ihree meals day. and work and play,
And night to slumbar In.
We're high and low, we'rs rich and
poor, ~
And think We are apart:
But. In our pain. our Joy again,
We have the common heart,
The Lord has made us much alike.
However else II seems:
The poorest man has still his plan.
His visions and his dreama
And. II humanity shall rise.
Together We must start,
The high and low together, 80
We have the common heart,
The Lord has made us much alike
And made US like to Him.
Build not 70 high the shadows lie
Another's path to dim.
All you can suffer He can feel,
And tears Of sorrow smart
The eyes Of all. as hotly fall
Upon the common heart.
The Lord has made US much alike
Think not Of clan nor class,
But understand and shape the land
Remembering the mass.
Grant rich or poor the rightly his,
There lies the statssman's art
With Justice thrilled. the nation build
Upon the common heart!

defeat handed the famous Pennsyl-

Rice, Bolden and Hoyt were the

four nice shots each and the latter
three, the visitors centering their de-

Of the visitors being held to but five

Romeo Means, than whom there has
been no better floor man to show here
this season, was the big noise for the
visitors, getting two nice long shots
for the basket, and being successful
in eight out Of twelve tries from the
foul line.

THE MAN WHO WINS.

The man who wins is an average man
Not built on any particular plan,
Nor blessed with any peculiar luck
Just steady and ernest and full of
pluck
When asked a question he does not
guess"
He knows and answers "No" or "Yes;"
When set a task that the rest can't
do
He buckles down till he's put it
through.
So he works and waits till one fine
day,
There's a better job with bigger pay;
And the man who shirIled whenever
they ss9l
Are bossed by the man whose work
made good.
For the man who wins is the man who
works,
Who neither labor nor trouble shirks;
Who uses his hand, his head, his eyes,
The man who wins is the man who
tries.

1913.

In game that was marred some
wha5 on account of its roughness, the
Masontown West Va.) High School
defeated the Oakland High School
on Saturday night by the score Of
1918 on the local floor. The visitors
greatly outweighed the local team
and were able to pass the ball over
Oakland's head The feature of the
game was the close guarding Of both
teams. Oakland always managed to
get the ball when near Masontown's
goal but could not penetrate their
strong five defense when trying to
get it near their own goal.
The game was close and exciting
