Mary had little lamb, that time has
passed away. No lamb could follow up
the pace that our Mary sets today; for
now she rides the air shod wheel, in
skirts too short by half; no lambkin
shares her airy flight, but you can see
her calf. But who is there that can COM
plain or cry in woe, "Alas!" So long as
Mary's calf's all right the lamb can go to
grass. So all the men delighted gaze,
their Joy is not sham, for while the
other critter is out they have no use for
the lamb.

Over at Albany they are having trouble
between the city and the electric light
compay. Monday night for the first
time in about twelve years, Albany was
in complete darkness, the electric light
company having turned off the lights
upon instructions from the city council.
The city has large number of street
lights, incandescents. and 16 arc lights
for which it pays $14a per mouth. The
city has been running behind financially
for several years and the councilmen do
not believe that the city can afford to
pay $500 per year for electric lights un-
der the present circumstances. They
have talked of a service of about $1,000
per year, some members thinking per-
haps that nearly the same number of
lights could be secured for that amount
and others that reduction in the num-
Der of lights and price could be made,
and that they could probably arrange a
moonlight schedule such as is adopted
in many cities, but thus far they have
failed to reach an agreement.
