thor was Sarah Catherine Martin, and
•he was buried at Lough ton, In Essex.
1 Miss Martin was born in January,
i 1768, and was about thirty-seven years
* of age when she wrote (lie story of
the old lady and her dog. Tradition
says the original "Old Mother Hub
bard" was the housekeeper at Kit ley
Hall, jealmptou. tile residence 01 .\iis.s
Martin's married stisicr. At any rate
It was when on a visit id her sister al
Kltlc.v that the famnns rime was pen
ned. The original publication is still
at Kitley, ami a cm(hoard is pointed
out as being "the" cupboard.—I'ear
son's.

record for activity during the war'?"
1 "You bet he hail. Why. ••oimade. Uc
was so active I hat lie eluded the re
cruiting officers throughout the whole
period of that struggle."—Argonaut.
