More About Teapets
Ma bought new teapot today,
She broke her other one,
She brought it home and set it on
The table in the sun.
All afternoon while Ma baked pies
Our baby never tired
OF looking at the teapot
Which she very much admired.
To see her laugh and talk to it
And pat it with her hand,
You'd thinksthat Mas new teapot
Could hear and understand.
And then when Ma had left the room
She filed it at the spout
And quiet as little mouse
She took the teapot out
Into the yard. There grows out there
Our baby's own pink rose.
She watered it, and then fell down
And broke the teapot's nose.
Baby was very much ashamed
And hung her pretty head,
And told us in her cunning way,
Poor teapot all gone dead"
Ma says, as baby wasn't hurt,
She doesn't care jot. .
And that is how our baby
Dead icates a new teapot.

Our friend James Shields, that genial re-
pository of quaint and whimsical anecdote,
calls our attention to the following cutting:
Eldora Ia, March 14.-Mrs. Thomas
G. Copp. of this city. has in her possession
yarn that was spun from the wool of the
original "Mary's Little Lamb" Miss Mary
Sawyer, the little girl whose lamb gave
the inspiration for the famous verses with
which every one is familiar. was born in
Sterling, Mass, in 1905. Three verses of
the poem were written by John Naulson,
to which two more verses were added by
Mrs. Townsend. From the wool of this
sheep Miss Sawyer made two pairs OF
stockings. and in 1880. at the old church
fair at Sterling she consented to unravel
the stockings, and Mrs. Copp. who was
present, and an old acquaintance OF the
family secured the yarn. Miss Sawyer
died in 1S90-St. Paul Pioneer Press
March IA, 1898.
1t seems only fair, therefore, to restate
the legend according to these historical facts.
Many of us may have wondered how it was
that the lamb could 60 with Mary everywhere
she went. Now it is as clear as noonshine {:
it went with her in the form of nice warm
knitted stockings. Therefore we blurt the
following:
The Truth at Last
Mary had little lamb
AS white as winter SHOWS,
And from the wool upon its back
She made two pair of hose.
And everywhere that Mary came
She wore the hose she'd knitted;
And those who saw her would exclaim
How perfectly they fitted.
Publicity gave Mary throes
In we'll bred Massachusetts,:
She felt so sheepish in those hose
She yearned to have some new sets.
And weary Of the public stare
As round about she Travelled,
To benefit the old church fair
She had them both unraveled.
