MARY'S LAMB WAS REAL
New Yorker Supplies the Inside Story
of Famous Animal.

New York, April 21-Mary's little
lamb was not myth-it was an
actually. Charles E. Chadeayne of
Ossining, n. Y. is the authority who
vouches for this statement and he
backs it up with proofs of the little
creatures origin, life, department, and
above all it's experience in school on
that well remembered day.
The information concerning the ia
nous animal is CLEANED from extern
sive researches made upon the collec-
ton of curios belonging to Mr.. Chade-
ayne. Exhibits in this collection
demonstrate to a certainty that the
lamb was born in 1917 in Sterling
Mass, where Mary (surname Sawyer)
lived with her parents. The lamb
destined to be so widely known was in
its earliest hours in frail health.
Nurses FraiI Creature to Health.
Several lambs had been born at
about the same time and Mary made
a visit to the fold with her papa.

is dead

''for when l move its head it will
move it back again.
But it can not live,'' said her
father.
"Oh. yes, maybe it cam replied
Mary. Let me take it home and
nurse it and tend it"
To this Mary's papa consented. So
Mary took her little lamb and carried
il home and warmed it and fed it. And
from that moment the poem that
everybody knows was assured.
The little girls pet was so grateful
to its benefactor that it could hardly
bear to have her out of its sight. But
Mary must go to school. you know
and so there had to be a separation
Mary always said a long goodby to it
every morning. Once in a hurry this
farewell slipped her mind until she
had got considerable distance from the
house.
How 1t Came to Go to school.
And that is how it came about that
Mary took the lamb to school and how
the poetry spoken by every chick and
child in America was inspired. To be
sure, the poem says that sit followed
can't be helped. Facts are facts. de-
spite poets.
When Mary remembered that she
hadn't paid parting visit to the lamb
she hurried right back as quick as she
could. She had a little sound that she
made that was half way between
scream and song. and no matter where
the lamb was when il heard that sound
It would run to Mary. AS she FASTENED
homeward she made that little sound
1t looked up so pleadingly that Mary
just couldn't take it back to the house
and so she wrapped it up in her shaw
and took it along to school

She put it, still wrapped in the shawl
under her seat and she never studied

It's All in the Brand.

Prosecutor Scovel, of Camden, tells a
story which he says happened at Goose

Delaware bay. The farmers from
miles around take their families to the
cove in the summer for a picnic.
Last summer among the crowd was

right forward and stood on the crack

John Rollestone was the poet who
framed the original verses. This man
of letters appears to have been a sort

that time not more than II years old
He was studying under the guidance of
the village parson, and as soon as he

Chasing the birds has led to re-
munerative find by Detective Hop
kins. In q search for wandering
chickens out in Auburndale yesterday
the detective spied a squad of hoboes
around a camp fire near the ice plant.
One of the men appeared to have on
a uniform of some sort so the officer
went nearer. Then he saw it was
guards uniform from the u s. A He
approached the man, who is colored,
and placed him under arrest.
The man gave his name as Albert
Thomas. He belongs at Fort Riley as
a cook in the hospital corps in which
service he says he was treated coolly.
Having served ten and half years in
the regular army at home and in the
Philippines Thomas naturally thinks
some consideration due him. Being the
only colored man in the corps. he
thought there a sentiment against him.
Il was treated unkindly by all the pri-
Yates and officers. I was given 10 days
on the black list for failing to attend
checks when We were allowed that
privilege in the kitchen In fact they
treated me so cool that 1 had to leave.
but 1 did not intend to desert or 1
could have gotten civilian clothes. /
only wanted to geesto Leavenworth and
ask for a change of assignment OF
course 1 would have been tried there
but it would not be the same as to be
returned as deserter to Riley" A tele-
gram came to Hopkins from the fort
this morning and he left with the pris-
oner at 10 o'clock.

ROME, October Il, 1909.
Among the various projects by which
Italy is to commemorate the fiftieth ami
versary of the declaration of Rome as
the capital of the country is that of max
ing monumental zone around the city
The zone is intended to constitute a
road which will pass by and make evil
dent the remains Of ancient Roman build
ings and historical sites, both to the
stranger and dweller In Rome who is
interested in these remnants of Roman
greatness.
Moving from the Coliseum. for example
and passing through the arch of Con-
stantine, the traveller has on his right
hand the height of the Palatine sepa-
to be demolished with the tons of earth
behind 1t between 1t and the Palatine.
The actual street that passed beneath
the modern road through the arch OF
Constantine has been reached, and it is
hoped that the new road to be made
will keep to the ancient level, SO that
nothing that is Of old date may be con-
cealed from view.
Then on the other side there is the
great foundation Of the Temple of Claudi-
u.s. now the Passionists garden. This
has to be unearthed on the site of the
Coliseum. SO that any part that is still
hidden may be revealed.
The Importance of such work is great
and its outcome full of most important
promise.
