MOTHER GOOSE AT
PUBLIC SCHOOL.

There are some people who,
though we have never laid eyes on
them, have had a marked influence
on our lives. For instance, sup
pose you had never become ac-
quainted with with the distressing
experience of that great heroine,
Little Bo-peep, whose woolly fol
lowing had carried themselves
hither and yon, she being left
alone to ruminate upon her predic-
ament? How nobly and heroic
ally she is said to have borne the
sad trial. How comforting the
assurance: "They will come home. !"
Indeed, has not her firm conf
dence and hopefulness, should ! not
say optimism inspired you until
now? Then acknowledge the
strong influence of this celebrity.
But this is one Of many person
ages similarly related to you andme:
Must mention be made of the
thrift and strong maternal instinct
of the old lady who resided in a
shoe; of the jovial disposition of
His Highness King Cole; of the
valuable lesson found in the ex-
perience of Jack and his sister
Jill? Indeed how strong has been
the power of example in the case
Little Miss Nufett who was prob
ably the first young lady to re-
fuse to be approached by an inn
pudent spider.
But all these people, Mother
Goose and her coterie, were at the
Primary Hall reception at the
Public School last Friday after
noon, viz: Mother Goose, Little
Boy Blue, Little Bo-Peep, Tom
my Tucker, Jack and Jill, the
Little Miss from Primrose Hill,
and such a host of others. You
should have been present to see
these of childhood friends.
Little Miss Ruth Gibbs, child
of about nine years, played the
part of Mother Goose most excel
lently. The other parts were i'm
personated by different members
of the hall, all in appropriate cos
tunes.
But this was not all of the pro
gramme. The hall teacher, Miss

ed and jailed on the charge of
obtaining money under false pre-
lenses, was, through a writ of ha-
beas corpus, last Saturday given

shaw in the lower part of this coun-
ty, borrowed $50 from his employer
to send to his father, who was quite
low with pneumonia. After work
ing for Bradshaw three months
until the first of March, when the
young fellow expected SIS month,
he returned to his home in

work for SIP a month. He: was ar
rested on the charge of obtaining
the $50 fraudulently, but the charge
was in nowise sustained.
