The REGISTER has also undertaken to
expose the frauds in existing trotting
pedigrees, whereby one family has
been built up at the expense of all 9th
ers, which frauds prevail to a much
greater extent than is generally sup
posed. 1t will be observed that in all
our work on pedigrees the original let
tiers and sources of information are
given. We believe that, once under
stood, this method will be the only sat-
isfactory one to tho public. 1t is the
only one that ought to be satisfactory.
PRESERVE YOUR FILES, for they are
worth preserving. Full index for the
Horse and other Departments will be
furnished at the end of each year.
In the New Years issue will begin
the history of the dam of Ethan Allen.
The testimony taken in the search after
this pedigree, together with informa-
ton obtained on other important pedi-
grees, is so full and varied that this ar
ticle will extend through quite num-
Der of papers.

Sorse Department,
THE MIDDLEBURY REGISTER,

A weekly newspaper published at
Sl.5O per year at Middlebury, Vt.
The circulation of this paper has in
creased SO rapidly during the last few
months that we now announce that at
the beginning of the New Year it will
appear in new dress and will be in all
respects thoroughly first-class family
paper. 1t will thereafter be printed
entirely at home; and much more space
can and will be given to the special de-
partments, as we'll as to home and
general news and other matters of inter-
est to its readers.
The Horse Department, which was
started one year ago, will be kept up
and enlarged. We intend to give in
this department the most accurate and
comprehensive information on the ped
igrees of trotters and trotting sires. 1t
will continue to be devoted to the in
terests of the Morgan Horse, of which
it is now the recognized organ. The
fullest information will be given on all
stations descended in direct male line
from Justin Morgan, which informa-
ton will eventually be published in
book form.

by purifying, renewing, and invigorating
the blood with Ayers Sarsaparilla. When,
through debility, the action of the kidneys
Is perverted, these organs rob the blood of
its needed constituent, albumen, which is
passed off in the urine, while worn out
matter, which they should carry off from
the blood, is allowed to remain. BY the
use Of Ayers Sarsaparila, the kidneys
are restored TO proper action, and Albu-

unqualified statement that "subsequen
investigation clearly established thd y
fact that he was got by Messenger
and thus completed the rascally work
of manufacturing this pedigree.
Although this pedigree was made I'd
order for Lady Suffolk, it has areadyS
been claimed to be useful in other di
rections. Burdick's Engineer, having
been elected grandson of Messenger
must perform the duties of that Office
and may expect to be called upon to !,
efficiate as sire of all near relatives of
fast performers ever heard of within al
days journey of where he has been To- !
Gated. Accordingly, we find in Wal
IdceS Monthly for June, 1888, an arti-
Gle, headed "Burdick's Engineer, sireI
of the dam of the Famous Princess n
The breeder of the dam of Princess isl
not given, nor is one scintila of evil
dence cited to show that such was her,
breeding, but we are treated to the fol
lowing refreshing dissertations:
cit appears to be known by every-|
body about Warrensburg that the|
Isaiah Wilcox mare that was traded off
in 1889 to Nathaniel Cliff and then to|
l.. b. Adams, the breeder of Princess,
was got by Burdick's Engineer, and
thus another direct and short line to
the fountain head is added to the in
heritance of Happy Medium and his
progeny. If 1t had been known that
the dam of Princess was by sire the
same number of removes from Messen-
ger as Abdallah, we could have ac-
counted for her wonderful ability as a
trotter long ago. This is another Illus
tration of the rudimentary truth that
there must be an inheritance where
there is great speed, and this inherit
lance must be from one of the two
sources of great speed. 1t is an illus
tration also of the practical value of
bringing together again two or more
streams from the same fountain after
they have been separated for a few gen.
erations. When the blood of great
grandson was oommingled with that of
a great granddaughter of Messenger,
the result was Princess; and when her
blood III turn was commingled with a
double greatgrandsire of Messenger,
the result was Happy Medium"
Note the delightful innocence and
freshness with which this charming
writer assumes the point that he could
not prove, says no more about the
question, but flows on in a stream of
pretty talk about the results produced
by this wholly imaginary breeding.
Note, further, that, having passed
through the magazine, and not been Sc
riously questioned, the irand is deem
ed a success and at last appears in
the Register where, in volume v, page

Burdick's Engineer, son of Engineer,b by

An Old Soldiers Story.

"The old army shoe,n said slender,
dark-haired man, " was a great institu-
ton. l have pair at home that |
have preserved-nOt as mementoes of
any long march, but as landmarks in a
venturous life. 1t was a custom among
the poorly shod Confederate troops to
remove, after a battle, the shoes from
the dead Union soldiers. This was not
done in any spirit of vandalism or
heartlessness. The shoes were taken
off to supply men who had much
marching to do in inclement weather.
We simply changed old, worn-out shoes
for the good ones worn by those who
fell in battle. On one occasion | took
a pair of nicely polished No. 6's from
the body of man who must have been
in life model soldier. / had worn
these shoes with great comfort through
the four or five remaining days of
activity incident to the battle before l
had any opportunity to examine them
carefully. When we were again in
permanent camp, and were allowed to
remove our cartridge-bo and shoes
at night, / made startling discovery,
or, rather, / was greatly startled by a
discovery that made one morning as
| took up the shoes to put them on.
On the under side of the flap, or tongue,
was written, in clear, round hand, my
own name. Twas confident that | had
never written it there, but there on both
shoes were my initials and my family
name, and l had taken those shoes, four
days before, from the feet of a man
killed in battle. The inference was
that / had stolen the shoes of a man re-
lated to me in some way. | could not
put them on. / walked in my stocking

led me for long time. | had no OPP
portunity for making satisfactory in
quiry in regard to the man who bore
my name, but in due time / did learn
that there was no family relationship
whatever. He had come to this coun-
try from England and had been in the
country only a few months when the
war broke out. He enlisted through a
spirit of adventure, and ! was the
means of giving his relatives definite
information as to his fate. The only
evidence | had bearing on points in
which they were interested was pair
of old army shoes. "-Chicago Inter
