One Tenant at Lillian Has Even Tried to Immortalize “Beastie” With Alarm Clock. Mart and her little lamb may be all right in the children's readers, but the.\ are out of place in an Atlanta apartment house. If you don't believe it. ask pretty little Mary Calkins, the 10-year-old daughter of Frederick Carey Calkine, of tlie Lillian apartments, Juniper and Eighth Streets. Mary has a lamb, a hungry little “beastie,” which answers to the name of "Woolly." and she iy very indignant over the way her lamb has been treated Somebody immortalized the original Mary and her lamb in verse, resi dents of the Lillian have tried to im mortalize little Mary’s pet with old shoes, alarm dorks, brushes and any thing else that happens to be loose when the plaintive Baa!

They shouldn’t mind a little thing like being awakened at 2 a. m. by a lamb who ls» mourning for the touch of its little mistress. she says Instead of growling and fuss ing around, they should merely turn over and sav: "Ain’t that dear little lamb got a good voice'."’ "The people here think 'Woolly's' a goat." little.Mary said this morning. "They give him the queerest things to eat. Almost every morning I find piles of old shoes and things lying all around him. ‘Woolly’ doesn’t eat shoes I think a man hit him with some thing once, because one morning ‘Woolly’ had a bump on the side of his head and he didn’t want to play Who Gave Him the Clock? "And one time I found an alarm clock lying right in front of his nose. As if ‘Woolly’ didn't know enough to get up without a clock! 1 guess the man who threw it out of his window was afraid Woolly' would sleep too long and miss his breakfast! I'd thank the man If 1 knew who he was, but I can’t find anyone who'll say he sent It!" But with all his virtues, and despite the love of his little mistress-. "Wool ly” is doomed to on inglorious finish— possibly he will form a part of a de licious Iamb stew some day. At any rate, he must leave the apartment house. "Papa says Woolly makes too much racket around here,” ^tbe little girl said, "and he.says we have got to sell him. He always bleats when I am not with him. and papa says the people that live in the apartment house don’t like to be woke up In the night.

"I don't s^e why they object to hearing Woolly bleat in the night. 1 think it's cute. "Nobody's afraid of him but the .Janitor," said Mary. "Woolly ran away once, and the janitor wouldn't stop him because he was afraid Woolly would butt him." Mary and her little lamb have been constant companions since the little girl won the animal as a. prize at the Faster egg hunt on the Marist College campus. It is unnecessary to say that Woolly’s fleece is white as snowy and everywhere that Mary went—you know the rest.

His habits are regular and industrious, and his life while in Atlanta is per fectly blameless in every respect. "The terrible crime committed in his plant calls forth the closest scru tiny of Mr. Frank’s relations with his 200 Workmen and women. Only the highest words of praise and confi dence in his character are heard on all sides. "I have worked with Mr. Frank for years In various charitable organisa tions and have ever found him the most polished of gentlemen, with the kindest of heart and the broadest of sympathy. To such an extent it is recognized among h1s fellow 1 od genie n that we have honored him with the office of president, which is the high est rank in our organization Best Work in Factory. "He is a liberal supporter of man3' worthy enterprises. But his greatest work has been among his own em ployees at his factory. The first to report in the morning and the last to leave at night, every day and holi days. he has labored to build up a factory that in spirit and efficiency is second to none **outh of the Mason and Dixon line. "After the magnificent work he has done in his adopted home, shall we, without consideration, emphasize ev ery bit of gossip which unjustly and groundlessly connects him with this awful tragedy? No one seeks more fervently to discover the real perpe trator of this* atrocious crime than Mr. Frank." Miner Asks for Calmness.

Nothing Is being left undone, no clew is being overlooked that would lead to a solution, of the mysterious tragedy.

Above all things, and especially at this time, it is absolutely necessary for us to keep perfectly cool, to work carefully and quietly, running down every possible clew with caution. Pledges Solution of Case. "I respectfully ask that the public be patient, refraining from criticism of the unceasing efforts on the part of the officers or private individuals who are working so generously and faith fully on the case. And I would as re spectfully ask that the daily papers refrain from printing anything calcu lated to unduly inflame the public mind; and from using such headlines as are calculated to arouse undue in dignation. "And you may rest assured if faith ful and persevering* work counts for anything, justice will be done. I have known, during my .several year* of experience as an officer and in crimi nal cases, undue haste in matters of this kind, brought on by excitement and enthusiasm, to produce « miscar riage of justice.
