MARY HAD A LITTLE LAMB. BUT
Mother Goose Brought Up to Date When
Porker Solemny Marches Into School.
PATRIOTIC JOHNNY HAD A PIG

"Woofl Wcof" said piggy and the
boy jumped back.
The pig then went on a tour of in
vestigation cver to the other side of
the room. He Investigated a box OF
crayons and pile of books and de-
cided that inis was a most. uninter-
esting room, with nothing to eat nor
even nice mud puddle to lie in.
Miss Lowe, the teacher, wasn't bit
scared $50 young Edward Rosewater,
Our youngest reporter and a pupil in
the room, reports). She walked right
up to, the pig and said "Shoo" And
the pig replied, "Woof! Wool" and
seemed inclined to be friendly. But
he declined to leave. One boy said
he guessed he wanted to get an edu-
cation and then travel with a circus
Finally Miss Lowe got some of the
bravest boys to put piggie out
George Car.Derg headed a volunteer
| detachment: They advanced in closed
formation on the porker. He seemed
to think it was some sort of game
He lodged in and out among the
desks, laughing Wool! Woofw and
seemed in no hurry to leave.
But at last they pushed him back
to the door and he walked out. Then
the door was closed and lessons went
| on again.
The young pig belongs to someone
in the neighhorhood who is a MEN,

The celebrated Mother Goose
rhyme of Mary and her lamb was en-
acted at the Columbian school, Thir-
ty-eighth and Jones streets, Monday,
but with this change, that a pig took
the place of the lamb, thus bringing
the drama strictly up to date. For
it is a patriotic thing nowadays to
keep pig.
The day was warm and Miss Mar
garite Lowe, was hearing the 'rith-
metic class recite when, in through the
open door, walked Mr.. Pig.
"Woofl Woof!, he said, standing
and looking at. the unaccustomed
scene. 4 S ~
- He. said this right close to little
girl who was busy writing her spell
ing lesson. The little girl gave a
scream and jumped out of her seat
like a rubber ball. Other little girls
did the same and ran to the protec-
ing arms of teacher"
But the boys displayed the greatest
bravery. It gave them an opportunity
to show what 'fraidy cats girls really
are compared, to boys,
, Huh! Who's afraid of little pig" "
said the, boy who sat right in front
of the little girl who jumped. And
he walked right I'D to the pig.

mo new JAIL FOR
OMAHA; 100000
IS NOT ENOUGH
KugeI and Parks Clash in
Stormy Argument Follow
ing Resolution to Appoint
Architects.

Omaha's new city jail will not be
built for some time. This was de-
cided at STORMY session of the city
commissioners Tuesday. The reason
for not building new Jail is that the
100000 appropriation is not sufficient
The storm started during arguments
following a resolution to engage either
w. E. Stockham or Frank Latenser
to prepare plans for the jail. Com,
missioner Parks declared that Stock,
ham, who made the alterations on the
city hall last year, had extras
amounting to $ll,4S6, although the
original contract called for the ex-
penditure OF only $4,000,
u asked him at the time the con-
tract was given whether he would
have a big pill for extras before the
work was done, and he said there
wouldn't be more than $500 at the
most" said Parks. "And then came
in this bill for $ll,4S6. Why, on the
county court house, which was let on
contract TOR $S22.571, there were
OHiy ploS Vi extras.
Commissioner Kugel declared the
extras on the city haH were largely
because of other things put in after
the contract was let, things we
didn't think of at first"
Yes, and there may be lots of
things in the city jail that you won't
think of at first" retorted Parks.
You ought to know what you want.
Throw Doors Open.
The commissioners voted four to
three against having specifications
drawn by these architects. Butler
moved that the police department be
, instructed to prepare tentative plans
of what is wanted and then that all
architects be invited to submit plans
and estimates.
A committee of citizens addressed
the commissioners, protesting against
a resident at Thirty-frst avenue and
Davenport street who is building a
garage fronting on the sidewalk of
his property. This is handsome
residence district and we don't want
our property ruined by such a thing" "
they said.
The salary of City Smoke and Boil
er Inspector Chrisman was raised
from $3.50 to $175 a month.
Permission was granted to the
Union Pacific employees to use the
city Auditorium for a patriotic meet
ing the night of March Is.
