Regarding the authorship of "Mary's
Little Lamb recent number of q
London magazine says: 'There have
been many claimants to the distinc-

gone so far it might be nice if you
stopped and enjoyed yourselves and
thought about the pleasant things
that had happened and all the inter

tirely, about the horrible adventures.
you'll forget about those, won't
you? It's so much easier to forget

be-"
"Just how it should be-" said Mas
ter Thoughtfulness.
SO the boy and the girl skipped and
jumped along and many OF their
friends of the journey joined them.
They went into the field and there
sat down at a long table which had
been made of great logs and boards
finely cut. Over the long table was a
tablecloth of fine moss which busy
Mrs. Gnome had sent. She hadn't
been able to come to the party herself
because she was busy spelling Mr..
Gnome which wasn't a wise thing to
d6 at all. But she had tried to help
along the dinner. And oh, what
fine party 1t was!

Exclamation of Name canada"

There are various theories as to now
Canada came to be so called, one
which meets with wide approval is
that the word Canada is derived from
an Indian word, "Kannatha," meaning
4 village or collection of huts, and it
is supposed that Jacques Cartier, hear
ing this word used by the Indians with
reference to their settlements, mistooh
it's meaning, and applied it to the
whole country.
