Mary's Lamb.

The following history OF the old nrst
reader poem is again going the ROUNDS
of the papers in the east, and we publish
il for the benefit OF our readers:
"Mary was Mary Elizabeth Sawyer,
and was born in le06, at Sterling Wor-
chester county, hiass. her father was a
farmer and when she was nine years OLD
she used 10 90 out with him TO look after
the lambs. One day he called attention
TO lamb that was nearly dead. she
picked it up, took it home. fed it, peiied
if aud later il followed her to school ana
made the children laugh. The teachei
told her to put it in the woodShed until
after school was over. That evening
she tod her experience to young man
by the name OF John Rollstone. who was
studying at the. minister's house, near her
home. Rollstone wrote The poem ana
gave il TO her a few days later"
The old poem has decided merit OF both
philosophy and sentiment; that which is
on the tongue of old and young alike can
not be bad poetry, of course; but every
stanza OF the old gem links us with the
"ltte lamb" which every grown person
once was. aud TO the other little lamb
which is now his hope for perpetuatng
his name when he shall be gone. The
original Mary and the original lamb are
duplicated in each generation in every
neighborhood, and "MarY loves the lamb,
you know" is recognized by the human
heart as the best OF answers from the
standpoint OF philosophy and human ma
ture, to the question, what makes the
lamb love Mary so ?"

II is said that a million homes in Bel
GUM have been destroyed by the armies
that have been sweeping from one end
OF the country to another. The fearful
commandments by the artillery OF the
contending forces and the constant bat
ties have wiped out towns and villages,
devastated cities and laid in utter ruin
the country districts. Horses and cattle
have been taken and crops destroyed,
and now thousands upon thousands OF
people are hungry and destitute. A re-
lief ship carrying provisions from the
United States is anxiously awaited by
the unhappy Belgians.

The interesting thing ~ note Is that this

therefore a sign o: "A conspicuous lack Of

One Opinion.

The market situation as viewed by
well known Stock Exchange house is as
follows stock prices are holding wei!
under difficulties. Bad railroad state
ments aud cuts in dividends have for
many weeks been known to be inevita bic
as the result of the fall in earnings which
has been shown ever since October. II is
one think TO know "A misfortune Is com
Ing and quite another to feel its actual
sting. Professional traders feel that the
market ought to go down. but the eA-
PLANTATION Of its hrnness probably lies In
the professional selling together with the
lack OF Investment selling. Investors seem
TO nave sold almost everything they had
for sale last year under the pressure OF
tarin legislation, poor crops. heavy fall
urcs and Government suits. 1t would now
seem to require an entirely new series Of
misfortunes to bring out additional sell.

Gated by the statement OF the Pennsyi-

GOSSIP OF WALL STREET.


The opinion 10 ventured that the imam
ciai situation now IL precisely the reverse
of that In 1908. In tile spring OF that
year railroad earnings were showing al
together remarkable comparisons. Rev
enues were enlarging by leaps and bounds
increases In some cases amounting 10 az
much a. 20 per cent. In the month OF
March the stock market broke badly
Prices fell rapidly and continuously until
the decline eliminated In panicky condi-
tons. In the fall there was swift rally
OF considerable proportions. BY March OF
the next year, however. all this recovery
was lost and prices we're again practically
at the lowest, with the market extremely
dull. Al that time railroad earnings be.
came as bad as they were IN the preced-
ing year and general business was in a
state Of intense depression. But In the
face OF these conditions the trend OF the
stock market finally turned upward and
prices continued to rise steadily The
year 1908, which witnessed huge railroad
returns and a falling stock market, was
really tho great period Of undisested Sc
curities. Stocks had been heavily over
bought In 1904. when overexpansion In
the stock market had already been paid
for In drastic liquidation and overexpan-
sion in business was already being paid
for In poor railroad earnings and business,
the stock market started up. Where are
We now?

The Nearest Policeman.

II will De interesting TO note the recep-
ton by the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion Of the latest statement from Mr..
Brandeis purporting TO show how the rail-
roads waste huge sums OF money. In
the tap line" case the commission took
leaf out OF Mr. Brandeis's book when II
decided that the railroads could save $l5,-
900 by charging for services on this
account and intinlatcd that this has
close connection with the application for
) per cent. increase In rates. But the
chances OF the railroads increasing their
revenues materially from this source seem
to be vanishing rapidly. In the first place
the railroads by their own estimates
found that the maximum increase could
only be from 100000 to $i.O00.oO0
Secondly, tho Illinois State commission
has thken UP tho side OF the shippers and
suspended the new tap line" charges FOR
100 days. This action obviously places
tho twenty or moro railroads traversing
the Chicago district in a rather dinicut
position. BY the Interstate Commerce
Commission they are told to make these
charges. while the Illinois commission for
bids them to do SO. Under the circum-
stances they have decided to obey the
Illinois commission. because. as one rail-
road man expressed IT, the thing to do
in case like that is to obey the nearest
policeman.
