LObert, accompanied by Phil Ball, OF
the st. Louis Feds, came from st. Louis
during the morning. They called at the
Federal League headquarters only to
learn that President Gilmore had sud
denly left for parts unknown. The third
sacker talked with Joe Tinker and Presi-
dent Weeghman, Of the Chiefeds, but
he did not sign a contract.
McGraw is anxious to save Lobert for
the National League. Furthermore, he is
anxious to sign the speedy Philly to a
New York National League contract.
The Giant boss. II is said, has been given
authority by the Philadelphia owners to
talk business with Lobert.
In the event that LObert consents to
sign a New York contract some kind OF
a deal will take place when certaiB
Giants will be transferred to the Phila-
deIphia club in exchange for the third
sacker.

Mary lived on her fathers farm

Mass, a suburb Of Boston. She af.

Stltution, which position she held for
thirty-five years. Mary outlived her
husband many years, and has for
her residence the house which he had
formerly owned.

ton wished to raise money for the
historic old South Church, which be.
came financially involved and was
IN danger of being sold for debt, q

TWO pairs, showing the widespread

days in Mary and her lamb. Mary

Sawyer, and was at the school the
day the lamb followed her there He
is one hundred and three years old.
According to Mr.. Powers, the lamb
in question was one of twins born in
her fathers stable. For some reason
the eve rejected one OF them and
little Mary Sawyer, then eight years
old, reared it.
One day the 1ittle lamb followed
Mary to school. The lamb was graz
ing in field when Mary started. It
was too far away for her to see, but
Mary called, and the lamb, recog-
niZing her voice, began bleating and
at once came to her. Mary and her
brother, Nathaniel, were well on
their way when the lamb began fol-
lowing them. Mary wanted to take
the lamb back home, but Nat said
oh, no, let's take it to school," and
Mary consented.
When Mary and her brother
reached the schoolhouse yard their
teacher Miss Polly Kimball had not
yet arrived. Some OF the scholars
were there, however, and these
crowded around the new pupil. They
were all much amused. Mary was
in a Quandary, for she did not wish
the teacher to know the lamb was at
school.
Then there was commotion among
the children. They laughed and twit-
tered and twisted and turned in
their seats. 1t was a strange sight

~ ONT smile at the youngster
ID who accepts at its face value
the story Of Mary and her lit
tie lamb. In this instance, grown-up
skepticism is unwarranted.
There was Mary who did have
Il little lamb whose fleece was as
white as snow and who did follow
Mary around wherever she did so.
What is more to the point, it did
follow her to school one day, which
was against the rule, which did
make the children laugh and play to
see the lamb at school.
And the teacher did turn it ont and
it did still linger near and waited pa
tiently about until Mary did appear.
Not only did Mary have little
lamb, but she also had half-cousin
and although the little lamb is long
since dead, the half-cousin is still very
much alive. Having been an eye-wit
ness OF the incident, this half-cousin
is prepared to verify 1t in every es-
Scntial.
1t is just one hundred years ago
since the incident occurred. The
heroine was Mary e. Sawyer, Of
