from Trip to School.

New York-Mary's little lamb was

Charles e. Ciadeayne 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
its experience in school on that well
remembered day.
The information concerning the
famous 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 Mary's
was a spring lamb born in 1917 in
Sterling. Mass, where Mary (sur-
named Sawyer, lived with her par
ents. The lamb destined to be so
widely known, in its earliest hours,
was frail in health.
Several lambs had been born at
about the same time and Mary made a
visit to the fold with her papa
Mary" said her father, that lamb
is dead"
NO, papa replied the little girl,
lOl WutH i llONC llS uGdu IL VIII
move it back again"
But it cannot live" said her father.
20, yes, maybe it can 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
it home and warmed it and fed it. And
10 fhA
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 separation
for several hours every day. But
Mary always said long good-by to it
every morning. Once in hurry this
farewell slipped her mind u..,il she
had got considerable distance from
the house.
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 "it followed
her to school one day" Well, that
can't be helped. Facts are facts,
despite 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 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 and sure enough here
came the lamb. 1t looked up so plead.
ingly that Mary just couldn't take 1t
back to the house and so she wrapped
it up in her shawl and took it along
to school.
She put ii, still wrapped in the
shawl, under her seat and she never
studied so hard in her life as she did
that morning. She did not want the
teacher to look her way for fear she
would see the lamb. But when the
time came TO say lessons the schol-
ars in Mary's class had to go out and
stand along certain crack in the
floor. And what should happen but
the moment that Mary started the
lamb started, too, and went right for
ward and stood on the crack with
Mary.

framed the original verses. This man

Hugh Grlfflth Dlssd

On Monday afternoon during thun-
der shower, Hugh Griffith, one 81 the
most prominent and wealthy farmers of
Kittson county, Mimi, living close to St.
Vincent Village, was struck by light
ming and killed instantly. At the time
Of the accident he was on top of a hay
stack finishing it up before the impend-
ing rain. The stack was set on fire and
his wife who was in the house close by
ran out with pail of water to exiting
uish the flames and found her husband
lying dead at the foot of the stack. A
hired man who had just come in from
the field had just then been disabled by
kick from one of the horses. Help
was summoned but nothing could be
done for Mr.. Griffith who had evidently
received the discharge of the bolt for
full length of his body as the heel of his
shoe was torn off. The haystack was
burned aud If the wind had not been
favorable it would likely have also burn
ed the farm buildings which were in
close proximity. -Four children are
made fatherless. The funeral was held
yesterday at st. Vincent and was very
largely attended. Mr.. Griffith was one
of the early settlers and had many
friends on this side of the river where
he was we'll known.

LAVA FOR RAILROAD BALLAST
Hitherto Regarded Al Entirely Use.
less Found to Make Excellent
Foundation for Road Bed.

Bend, Ore.-The railroad survey
south from Bend has now reached the
lava fields, distant some eight miles
up the Deschutes. It has just become
known that this lava, which has hith.
erto been regarded as entirely useless,
will supply the very best ballast for
the new road and will probably be
used on the entire central stretch Of
the line. Not only will 1t fill this pur-
pose excellently well, but contrary to
the belief that has previously existed,
obtaining it will be an economical
task.
The experts declare that 10 Shoot
ing" will be necessary. but that q
steam shovel will be able to scoop up
the half disintegrated rock and dump
1t into cars, practically prepared by
nature for its new field Of activity. II
such be the case it IL the very first
time that the lava has ever served
a useful purpose, accordhG to the
people who have had most to do with
it, for hitherto it has been classed as
q nuisance akin to coyotes and other
pestful productions of nature.

of grain. The hail struck some pretty
hard blows around here.
We have come to the conclusion
that thing is a good thing. In years
gone by tile would have been the last
thing thought Of, but now times have
changed and we need good tile, not
small tile, but something large sized.
This has been a very discourasing
year to the farmers in general. First
we were almost blown out by the
wind; then some of them were not
going to cut their wheat because they
believed a hy pest had ruined it; nov
the hail puts an end to almost every
thing. The farmers have had a hard
time, but they don't seem to think
that there is any place like the farm.
