The Reason Why.

Mary had a little lamb, It's fleece was
white as snow IL strayed away one sum
mer day, where lambs should never go.
Then Mary sat her down and tears stream
cd from her eyes; she never found the
lamb because she did not advertise. And
Mary had brother John, who kept vii
lagc store; he sat down and smoked his
pipe, and watched the open door And as
the people passed along and did not stop
to buy, John still sat down and smoked
his pipe and blinked his sleepy eye. And
so the sheriff closed him out, but still he
fingered near; and Mary came To drop
with him sympathizing tear. How is

advertise. "-Springfield (Mo.) Journal.
