MARY REALLY HAD A LAMB.

Anxious TO ascertain beyond Ques-
ton whether there was ever a Mary
who had little lamb as the widely
known nursery poem recites, Mrs. l..
W. Owens of Pueblo. COL, travelled 10
Massachusetts, distance OF more
than 1000 miles-to make thorough
investigation.
She has done 1t. She has found
that there was real Mary" and
that she had a real limb. The lamb
went TO school. too, one day. as the
famous verses assert. The young poet,
John Roulstone, who immortalized
Mary and the lamb, took some poetic
liberties with the facts, Mrs. owens
found. but the poem Is correct In the
main points. Here are the verses as
they were written and handed 10
Mary, the owner OF the lamb:
Mary had little lamb.
Its fleece was white as snow:
And everywhere that Mary went
The lamb was sure 10 so.
1t followed her to school one day,
Which was against the rule:
1t made the children laugh and play
To see the lamb at school.
And so the teacher turned 1t out.
But still it fingered near.
And waited patiently about
Till Mary did appear.
What makes the lamb love Mary
sO?"
The eager children cried.
why Mary loves the lamb. yon
know
The teacher then replied.
The Mary" OF the poem was Mary
Sawyer. and later Mary Sawyer Tay'
lor. She lived at Sterling. Mass. and
when she was eight years old, IS
years ago. she owned the lamb.
Mary's lamb was a pet. She kept
its fleece nice and clean. and some.
times tied ribbon about its neck.
One day she took the lamb to school.
When she went TO the platform TO re-
cite the lamb clattered after her.
That made a laugh.
Mary ten took the lamb outside
and fastened 1t TO shed. She took
the lamb home at the noon recess.
John 'Roulstonc, who was studying
for the ministry with Rev. Samuel Ca
pen of Sterling. was on visit to the
school that day. The next day he
rode up to the school and handed
Mary the poem.
Mrs. Owens. who is president OF
the Loyal Boys Club OF the West,
made the trip from her distant home
for the sole purpose of dclving into
the past and getting the truth about
the lamb episode. Mrs. Owens will
write book on the life and death OF
Mary and her lamb.

GLEANINGS OF THE
 NORTHERN EMPIRE
O-O

A member of the posse that was searching for the robbers of the New Hazelton bank last week shot and killed a Swedish prospector, whose real name was not learned, last week at Skeena crossing, on the Grand Trunk railroad. The name of the man who did the shooting is Edgar Edgar and others were guarding the crossing when they saw a stranger coming along whom they commanded to halt. Instead he broke and ran, thinking, probably, that he was be- ing held up. The chase continued for ten miles when a shot, fired by Ed gar. reached the fugitive's heart.

 Claude Swanson, a machine drill man, was killed by an accidental dis, charge of powder last week at Prince Rupert while working with others in preparation for another big blast in the street improvement operations of the Grand Trunk terminus. He was literally blown from the coyote hole in which he was at work.
 A wOmans hat that was found float ing in the bay at Ketchikan last week caused considerable excitement in that town for some time. Steamers that had been in that vicinity were called by wireless and asked to inven- tory their passengers, and other steps were taken to discover whether or not a woman was missing. It was after ward learned that the hat had been thrown into the bay with other rub bish

 Angus Mckenzie and Harry Webber recently purchased the Puyallup mine near Hollis in the Ketchikan district. A five-stamp mill went with the prop erty. The Ketchikan Miner says while the property does not consti- ute a large mine it promises to be- come a good little one. Operations will begin soon.
 Fairbanks is all worked up over the price war that is on among the mer- chants of that city. The News-Miner says that $1 will buy as much now at Fairbanks as $2 would buy a year ago. However, while it admits that the cost of living has been materially reduced, it doubts the wisdom of reducing prices to a point where business is carried on at a loss.
 Prince Rupert has organized a gar dening association. The purpose is to promote gardening both for vegetables and flowers.

WooLEY LIFTS ROOF
 FROM COAL WAREHOUSE
%

Juneau was struck by queer acting wooley about ten o'clock this morning and some damage was done about town. About fifteen feet of the roof of the Pacific Coast Company's coal warehouse was torn off and hurled some distance up the dock. The wind has been milling about town ever since causing the streets to be dis agreeable in places and travel to be diff fcult. One strange thing about the storm is that it seems to be entirely local. While the harbor front is very rough and heavy sea running on this side. over at Douglas the channel is said to be smooth and no wind blow ing at all.

THE LONG-LIVED PoPES.

The popular theories of Oslcr- ism meet with a striking eXcep- tion in the papacy, and one that persists through a long period of time. Looking back into the his tory of the Vatican for over 100 years, it is notable fact that popes are elected late in life and that they seemingly justify the prin- ciple by exceeding the psalmist's limitation of our span to three score and ten.
 Since l775, when Plus VI, was elected pope at the age of 58, there have been eight pOpes, in elusive, and their average age at election to the highest office in the church has bden 63 years, an age which in American civil and military life is considered proper for retirement. Of the seven popes since that time, coming down to the present holy father, the average age at death is over 80 years and 6 months.
 That there is wisdom in age ap- pears to be the belief of the Cath ollie church. and whatever may be the theological differences of opinion concerning the church, it's marvellous effectiveness is generally recognized.
 Plus VI. was elected pope at 3S and died al S3: Plus VII. rcigned frim his siNticth to his eighty third year: .ru NII.. from his six ty-third to his siNty-nInih: Plus NIIL.. from his >iNty-ri-hth |" hIs sevcnIlrlh: Gregory XVII. from his sixIy-sixtlI Iu his righIy-iir :: Plus IN.. from his lfIy-fuurIh L" his eight y-~iNth: Ic" MIL. from his SiNlN-"j-hth [" his nin"i\- third.

WILSON MAY VISIT SENATE.

The strong position President Wilson has assumed in the con- ducI of foreign affairs has raised the intrrr,iin@ question whether the president will use his un- doubted prrrngatiNr to discuss treaties with the Senate in it's cX- ecutivc sessions behind closed doors.
 Washington Was. the only pres ident who ever did that and his experiences on two days decided him not to repeat the occasion. He simply informed the Senate on Aug. 2I. l1S9, that on he next day he would meet to advise with them concerning an Indian treaty. That he did. being received un- der the rules. as the Head of the Senate" though occupying a seat on the floor. The tradition is that he liked so little the cross questioning to which he was sub jected that when he left the chamber after the second session, he muttered to member of his cabinet:

 Excepting Wilson, no president since Adams has addressed eith- CT house, or as far as the rec ords show, visited the floors of either house while in session, both Grant and Lincoln were fla miIiar figures at the capitol. Grant confined his visits to the room of Speaker Blaine, a per sonal friend. But Lincoln, in the stress of war legislation, occupied the presidents room and con-

PROSPERITY IN SIGHT.

Never have conditions in Alas ka looked brighter for banner year than at present. From Nome to Skagway, all cities are prepar- ing for added business and many of them are enjoying the resump- tion of traffic which has already begun. That there is to be an enormous increase in the interior Business is evidenced by the way the transportation companies are starting out to capture it.
 One of the foremost to see the coming events is the White Pass railway company. With new boats on the lower Yukon and new boats being put into service con- meeting Seattle with Fairbanks in a through transportation service, evidences the foreshadowing of activities to come.
 The government is sure to be- gin the construction of railroads within the next year, which means the development of the country along main lines. Coal mining has already begun, and gold and copper mining is increasing by leaps and bounds.
 The increased output of the At lin mining district and the new strikes in the feslin is even now adding to the business that is be- ing done in Skagway. Juneau is enormously increasing her min- ing development; the White riv- CT, and Kluane countries are showing better than ever before, and there is a promise of a rail- road being constructed tapping the rich deposits in the districts back of Haines.
 Coming right down to home af- fairs, we hear it rumored, from good sources, that :he White Pass
 is to standardize their system and begin laying a broad gauge track before the closing of anoth- CT season. It is with that end in view that no new equipment is being ordered for the present sys- tenn. Considering all things, there is every reason to believe in a coming era of prosperity that will satisfy the most prssi- mistir -Skagway Alaskan.
