"ONLY A BABY"
To the Editor of The Republican.

To the Editor of The Republican.
l present you with these thoughts,
which were awakened upon reading in
last weeks Republican of the death
of Baby Elizabeth Chance, infant
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Cheston H
Browning:
"Who's dead?" cried someone, "who's
dead-who's dead?"
"Only a baby!" some other one said
"Only a baby!" the careless cried;
"Only baby" today has died.
"Only a baby"-a wee, snow sprite;
"Only a baby"-is dead tonight
But mother weeps-her heart is bleC
In a river of tears Ger her innocent
dead.
Her hot tears rain on the waxen brow
That is busted DER with frost flakes
now;
Her soul walls from it's awful pain
For one touch of those dear little
hands again.
"Lord, take me too to that promised
bliss!"
She cries through her burning farwel
kiss
The merciless grief on her soul is fed
The very heart of heart lies dead.
The life of her home was that baby:
face hid
With tiny hands clasped meath it.:
casket lid.
Oh! bear off the jewel and hide it be
Warm summers pink clovers and win
ter's cold snow.
Is there anyone near with full, ten
der heart?
Pour soft words out, with soothing ar
Oh! bury her sorrow, beneath swee
showers
Of healing acents-like balm from
rare flowers.
Oh! sacred the shades where hel
baby is placed,
And sacred the grass round that tiny
grave laced,
Yet-"only baby!" the thoughtles'
cried
"Only baby today has died!"

No Pay No Play, Says Coach
Getty to Soccer Team

There is a rule in Oakland High
school that those who participate in
athletics must have their athletic dues
of 25 cents paid up.
There were those that were playing
who were not square on the books, so
on Tuesday before the soccer game
with Grantsville, Coach Frank Getty
asked who had not paid their dues.
Seven hadn't.
Coach Getty then asked how many
of the seven were ready to pay up.
Seven weren't.
So the first half was played with
four regulars and seven substitutes,
the latter ones younger in experience
and somewhat smaller in stature.
But they held the Grantsville team
to score of 90.
At the beginning of the second half
Coach Getty didn't even have to ask
more questions. When he figured up
how many of the regular team had
paid he found that eleven had done
just that. Quarters do make their
appearance at times from empty pock-
cts.
And so the regulars played the sec
ond half, defeating Grantsville 4 to 0.
And now everybody is satisfied, includ-
ing Grantsville, Coach Getty and the
regulars, for their books are not now
in the red.

Washington merchants put their

Baltimore merchants, however,
were not sleeping. They pro-
NOTED the Baltimore and Ohio

Suffers in War
The business interests of Wash
ington and Baltimore fought each
other tooth and nail until the out
break of the Civil War. Cumber-
land escaped invasion. but it Suf-
fered terribly from the isolation
forced on it when Federal and
Confederate troops let water out
of the canal and tore up the rail-
road.
During the years after the war,
Cumberland became increasingly
important.
Near the city are some Of the
most productive bituminous coal
mines in America. The Pennsyl-
vania, Baltimore and Ohio, West
ern Maryland and the Cumber-
land and Pennsylvania railroads
drew huge coal trains out Of
there.
Important clay deposits in the
surrounding mountains added to
the wealth of the town. Because
of its railroad facilities and sup
ply of dependable labor, other
industries located there. including
a nationally known tire manufac-
turer, an artificial silk mill and
the headquarters and principal
plant of one of the largest dyeing
establishments in the East.
Other Towns Near
In the mountains near Cum
berland are several enterprising
towns we'll worth visiting. Largest
of these is Frostburg, II miles
west of Cumberland on the Ma
tional Highway.
The trip to Cumberland is
made via U. S. route 240 to Fred
erick, U. S. 40, the National
Highway" from there to Cum
berland.
Returning, Route 40 is followed
to Hancock where a right turn
is made for Berkeley Springs and
Martinsburg. From Martinsburg
U. S. II, the "Valley Pike" is fol-
lowed to Winchester and Route
so from that city to washington.

Cumberland, gateway to the
West. sometimes has been called
the Queen City of the Allie
ghanies.
It Is an old city, one that
never enjoyed" a boom of near
Florida proportions, but a city
that has grown through the years
and has become increasingly i'm
portant as a railroad, manufac-
turing and tourist center.
, In recent years. horse racing
has been an annual feature there
and the races will open Tuesday,
continuing through the week.
The city is in the midst of the
mountains. with individual hills
and ridges on all sides and in the
city itself, separating it into sew
eral sections. From no one point
can a comprehensive view of the
city be obtained, as mountains
shut off a large part OF the view
from any angle.
Site of Old Fort
The original settlement goes
back to 1854, when Governor
Dinwiddie, of Virginia, had fort
constructed at Wills Creek as a
defense against French and In
dams.
This fort was called Fort Cum.
berland in honor of the Duke Of
Cumberland, friend of General
Braddock and an adviser OF the
king on colonial affairs. The set.
tlement around the fort was
known as Wills Greek. Settlers
and traders took the name from
an Indian chief, viii, who lived in
the mountains along the creek
and who claimed all the territory.
The first white men to pene-
trate the territory were explorers
who sought a route to the Ohio
River. The only natural pass
through the Allegheny Mountains
Is at Cumberland.
It was at Cumberland that Gen
eral Braddock, en- route to defeat
and death at Fort Duquesne in
l755, abandoned his English
coach because of the rough travel
ing. Returning, Washington rested
his men there while many OF the
wounded died and were buried on
the hillside.
In Trade War
Cumberland was the key city in
q trade war waged between Wash
ington and Baltimore for more
than a quarter century before the
Civil War. Men interested in
trade in Washington and other
gentlemen engaged in commercial
pursuits in Baltimore were fight
ing for the valuable trade that
came over the mountains at Cum
berland.
Goods were taken over the
mountains to the Potomac River
at Cumberland, loaded on scowS
and RATS and taken to George
town, barring accident en- route.
In some places, such as Great
Falls, canals had to be dug around
