The Love of Home

/. 1t is only shallow-minded pre-
tenders who either make distinguished
origin a matter of personal merit, or
obscure origin matter of personal
reproach. Taunt and scoffng at the
humble condition of early life affect
nobody in America but those who are
foolish enough to indulge in them, and
they are generally sufficiently pun
shed by public rebuke. A man who
is not ashamed of himself need not
be ashamed Of his early condition.

THE FOOT-PATH TO PEACE
A Thought for the Opening Year.

A Thought for the Opening Year.
To be glad of life, because it gives
you the chance to love and to work
and to play and to look up at the
stars; to be satisfied with your pos
sessions, but not conten ed with your
self until YOU have made the best of
them; to despise nothing in the world
except falsehood and meanness, and
to fear nothing except cowardice; to
be governed by your admirations ra-
ther than by your disgusts; to covet
nothing that is your neighbor's ex-
cept his kindness of heart and gen.
tleness of manners; to think seldom
Of your enemies, often of your friends
and every day of Christ; and to spend
as much time as you can with body
and with spirit, in Gods out-of doors
these are little guide-posts on the
foot-path of peace.

Details Needed

A woman, blessed with masterful
disposition and considerable personal
property, died, leaving behind her a
will in which her husband was cut off
with a dollar, on the ground that he
had deserted her a year before.
The lawyer finally located the man
and broke the news gently by telling
him that he had received only a small
bequest.
"How much?" carelessly asked the
man.
Zone dollar"
With the same carelessness, the
man turned toward the door. Just
as he reached it, however, sudden
thought struck him.
"Say," he called back anxiously.
"Did she specify what | was to do
with this dollar?"

THE TRUE STORY OF MARY
AND HER LITTLE PET LAMB
Mr.. Shaw Tells Ii for the Benefit of
the Young Children and the
Older Ones as Well
BY Harry p. Shaw

There is perhaps not any children
Of school age who have not heard of
Mary's little lamb. And again there
are not many that have heard the
history connected with the little poem.
Mary b. Sawyer was born March
%, 1906, at Sterling, Mass. Mary
was seven years old when twin lambs
were born to a eve that belonged
to her father. The sheep mother re-
fused to care for one as her own. So,
Mary took it and raised it with a
mothers care. When the lamb was
seven months old il followed Mary
to school one day. Before the teacher
came some of the mirthful boys sug-
gested that they put the lamb in
Mary's desk, which they did. And the
little lamb went to 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 scolded Mary in the least. She
only laughed with Mary and the
children. The lamb stayed all day at
school ad went home with Mary that
night never to return to school again.
But that day was sufficient to gain
fame for the immortal little lamb. For
some time later John Roulstone, a
Harvard student, was visiting the
taecher and he heard of the lamb at
school and sat down and wrote:
Mary had a little lamb,
Its fleece was white as snow;
And everywhere that Mary went,
The lamb was sure to 60.
Ii followed her to school one day,
Which was against the rule;
1t made the children laugh and play,
To see the lamb in 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 ir
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 fol

yarn and card were sold for twenty

alone brought two hundred dollars
which saved the old historic Soutf
Church of Boston from the sheriff''
hammer.
Yes! Mary Sawyer married, we ar,
told. She married a man by tn,
name of Tyler. She lived in Somer

The Qualified Committee

At a Legion post meeting in New
Jersey, one comrade was reported to
be sick and motion was carried that
committee of three "be appointed to
visit Comrade Jones, sympathize with
him and try to cheer him up"
Then it was reported that another
comrade had been married since the
last meeting, and the commander sug-
gested that the post take suitable ac-
ton.
"Send the same committee to see
him." suggested a voice.

Pluck and Luck

One constant element of luck
Is genuine solid old Teutonic pluck.
Stick to your aim, the mongrel's hold
will slip;
But only crowbars loose the bulldogs
grip.
Small though he looks, the jaw that
never yields
Drags down the believing monarch
Of the fields.

HOPE IS GIVEN
UP OF FINDING
MISSING CRAFT
Search Discontinued for To-
tem-Believed to Have
Sunk Off Yakutat.

All hope for fiajirg the Totem,
Cordovl gIstGAt. which with three
men aboard has been missing from
Katalla since December "a has been
abandoned, and the search reln-
pushed, according to information re-
ceived by Acting Governor Karl
Thiele. Harry Rolfe, master of the
gasboat Rolfe H., in charge of the
search, reports that he was able to
get information which leads to the
conclusion that the boat went down
off Yakutat with all on board. Those
known to be on the Totem were F.
r. Goodwin. l. Olsen and Fred Arnold.
Boat Seen to Sink
At Yakutat Captain Rolfe found
the first trace of the fate OF the To
item. There he was told by Harry
Trefzger that on January II he saw
through a pair of field glasses a boat
wallowing in the breakers at a point
about two miles from shore. The
vessel looked like its stern had been
broken off and a leg omltton sail
was flOpping in the wind. There was
no : III Vi lue Oh VIC tidht' IL
about two hours after lit had first
been sighted the boat drifted into
deep water and sank. Later a search
was made but no wrecl1age was found
nor anything ito indicate what boat
it was. Captain Rolfe. however, is
sure that lit was the Totem.
Sighted on January 7
The Totem left Katalla with a
cargo of lumber and tools for fox
island off the coast near Yakutat.
She put in with mail at an island
ranch near Katalla a few hours after
she left Katalla and as far as known
THAT is the last time she was com
municated with. On the morning OF
January 7, the Commonwealth, Cor
dova halibut schooner, saw a boat
near Kayak Island which it believes
ITO have been the Totem.
Search Is Abandoned
After visiting several bays and
islands where it was thought pos
sible that the Totem might have
prt in, the search party returned to
Cordova and the search has been dis
continued.
