Mary had a little lamb, its

where lambs should never 60.
Then Mary sat her down and
tears streamed from her eyes:
she never found the lamb be-

And Mary had a brother John,
who kept a village store; he sal
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.

him a sympathetic tear. How

loved and followed him So
blindly. Accordingly an escort
of honor was dispatched To- the

slight growth of the hair and

INTO the hands of the Catholic
priest at Havana. while the
original pencil drawing and

chased property of the French
government.
On the last trip of Mr.. Aucker
to Havana, he requested of his
priestly friend that he be al
lowed to have a photograph
made from the now fading PIE
ture. This request was granted
and the result Is one of the
most remarkable pictures this
