So Still It Lies Before Dawn That Its
Course to the Sea Seems TO
Have Stopped.

You will have to stay out late or
get up very early to catch the silver
Seine asleep. And even then you
might find it waking, wind-ruffied and
restless, for the Seine seldom goes to
sleep. But when, by some good for
tune, you surprise 1t slumbering then
you truly find sleeping beauty. So
still it lies sometimes in the hour be-
fore the dawn that it would seem for
once to have stayed its course to join
the sea. Not the tiniest ripple dis
turbs its polished surface.
And sleeping, 1t would seem to be
dream-haunted. 1t dreams of the city
through which it flows Above 1t
hangs the starIit sky; tall buildings
seem to peep into Its depths. and the
bridges stretch across it almost caress-
fngly as though protecting a child
that had gone to sleep.
And the dream Of the river Is of
these same stars that shine above, of
the tall buildings that are peeping
down, of the bridges that stretch their
arms above its bosom. For In the
mirror of its shining surface you will
see all these things more beautiful

Dogs Limitations.

An investigation is being made as to
the truth Of an Arab assertion that
dogs cannot follow the trail of naked
person. A number of writer's vouched
for the correctness of the contention
and proffered she results of their own
experiences. One of the letters re-
ceived was from a French officer who
had spent many years among the
Arabs. He says in his letter: "Once.
when / found myself with a moving

was stabbed no farther than 30 feet
from my tent by three Arabs. who
came in the night, entirely naked.

Nickel Found in MeteorItes.

The great collection Of meteorites In
a European museum, studied and re-
ported upon by an expert, has led to
the interesting conclusion that me-
teoritic iron, as 1t falls from the sky,
and the various steels produced in our
modern steel works are the result Of
essentially similar chemical and physi-
cal causes. One of the most striking
characteristics noted in meteoritic iron
is the presence Of considerable guam
tity of nickel.

Many Improvements Made

With Best Parks In State
IT is UP TO YOU NOW
MARIETTA BALL FANS

1t is up to you now, Marietta
baseball fans. Several men with
sporting blood in their veins have
provided a first class ball club for
Marietta this season. This club is
costing "beaucoup Jack" Many
loyal Marietta citizens have al
ready contributed literally to the
fund but that will not maintain
the club. 1t is up to every fan to
attend the games regularly. Ac-
cording to the plans of those in
charge the home games will be
held every Wednesday and Satur-
day. This will allow those who
have Wednesday afternoon off to
see the contests.
The team this year is one that
Marietta will be proud to call her
own. 1t is the pick of southern
college stars. Besides being com
posed of fine ball players it will be
one OF the best equipped clubs in
the state. The uniforms are of
the same material as those used
in the Southern League.
So Fellows, let's all make it a
point to be seen in the new stands
at Browns Park every Wednes-
day and Saturday afternoon. You
owe it to your town and to the
big hearted men who have made
it possible for Marietta to have a
Itirst-class ball club this season.

Ditch Down Third Base Line

One look at the new baseball
diamond will convince anyone
that Marietta has one of the best
diamonds to be found in a city of
this size.
The entire field has been graded
and the large fill on the third base
line has been filled in. This is a
much needed improvement but
will deprive the fans of some
thrilling catches like those made
by Newman last year. Addition
al seats have been put down this
line. Giving a total seating ca
pacity to the field of over eight
hundred.
For awhile those in charge of
arrangements thought about re
versing the diamond. That is to
say put it out where center field
IS now This idea was abandoned
after much thought and after ask
ing the advice of several college
coaches.
