MARYS LITTLE LAMB
Historic Pet Belonged to Girl in Mas
sachusetts.

There is perhaps not any children
OF school who have not heard OF Mary's
lamb. And again there are not many
that have heard the history connected
with the little poem.
Mary Il. Sawyer was born March %,
1906, at Sterling, Mass. Mary was seven
years old when twin lambs were born
to an eve that belonged to her father.
The sheep mother refused TO care for
one as her own. SO Mary took it and
raised it with a mothers care. When
the lamb was seven month: old 1t
followed Mary to school one day. Be
fore the teacher came some of the
mirthful boys suggested that they put
the lamb in Mary's desk, which they
did. And the little lamb went 10 sleep,
but walked up and began TO kick and
scrambled out Of the desk. This is
what made all the children laugh and
play to see the lamb in school. OF
course the teacher put the lamb out
but never sColdcd Mary in the least.
She only laughed with Mary and the
children. The lamb stayed all day at
school and went home with Mary that
night never to return TO school again.
But that day was sufficient 10 gain
fame for the immortal little lamb.
For some time later John RoulstOne,
4 Harvard student, was visiting the

teacher and he heard of the lamb at
school and sat down and wrote:
Mary had little lamb,
It's fleece was white as snow;
And everywhere that Mary went,
The lamb was sure to go.
II followed her to school one day,
Which was age inst the rule;
1t made the children laugh and play
To see the lamb n school.
So the TEACHER turned It out,
But still it fingered near;
And waited patiently about,
Till Mary did appear.
This little historic lamb lived only
two years. 1t was gored to death by
a COW in the barn of Mary's father.
The wool Of the lamb was spun and
knitted into hose for Mary by her
mother Mary never would wear the
stockings, but kept them in memory of
the lamb.
History says many years later the
Old South church in Boston was about
to be sold for debt, then Mary with
other young ladies got up sale for
the benefit of the church. Mary un-
raveled the stockings made from her
.pet lamb, cut the yarn in one yard
lengths and wound it on cards on
which she had written her name. The
yarn and card were sold for rs cents
each. The sale Of these stockings
alone brought 5000, which saved the
old historic South church of Boston
from the sheriff's hammer. ..
Yes, Mary Sawyer married, we are
told. She married man by the name
of Tyler. She lived in Somerville;
Mass, until 1889 when she died. His
tory tells us that she was buried in
Mt. Auburn cemetery near Boston.
And that her tomb is beside that of the
famous poet, Longfellow. Mary's hus-
band died before she did so after her
death their home was turned into a
playground for the children of Somer-

BUSTING THE BUCKET SHOPS
Little Gamblers Swept Aside by the
Bio Ones.

Big ones.
Newspapers and "stock exchanges
are carrying on q bitter war against
the bucket shops" and curb broker
ages in which the common people are
neeced in stock speculation. Prac-
tfcally the only difference between a
stock exchange and bucket shop Is
in clientele, one being exclusive while
the other invites the hoi polloi. The
elements of the. gambling are the same.
There is this, perhaps, that many be
said Of the cheaper concern, that be-
cause Of the opportunity more swind-
lers in proportion are bucket shopping,
but the sheep are shorn in Wall Street
by the same methods in both places.
1t makes little difference to an inves-
tor whether he is sold out" or his de-
post is stolen. The tiled floors of
marble palaces in the financial district
have seen more men end life with
bullets than have the less pretentious
establishments now under the ban.
Back of both stock exchange and
bucket shop is a greater power than
either, n power that holds the destinies
of both in n grasp so tight that it is
able to crush at any time. The same
power has present control Of the fate
of legitimate business as well as of
the speculative markets. That power,
through its ability to control the mon
ey volume, can rule or ruin. as it
| pleascs.
In 1907 that power brought on a
panic as suddenly and as Unexpected
ly as if q bolt had fallen from q clear

or the drafts from their country COR
respondents and the whole country
wGs thrown into n turmoil. Wall

Breaks All Civic Rules.
I Small wonder living was extremely
dear in the old days and is an acute
problem now, since the city subsisted
formerly on supplies from China and
Japan, Europe and even America. It's
growth seems due to some inexphcable
exception that proves the rule that a
city, to succeed. should be self -sus-
tanning, interchange products with the
country around it, be thrifty, cultivate
civic consciousness, be well governed,
and possess some racial, cultural, or
patriotic unity. 1t owed'its commerce
to the fact that it was the most nearly
ice-free port Of Siberia, by which vir-
tue It became the terminus of the
trans Siberian railway, and to the
military and naval establishments
maintained by the government of the
Tsar.
Now its patron government has
disappeared, it's railway has been cut
into units by the national entities
along its course, and Bolshevism looms
as an economic as well as passenger
barrier along the far-fiung rail ribbon
that once, extended some 1000 miles
to Calais.
