FARMS on THE BALT1o-A more beautiful
farming country does not exist than that along
the southern shore Of the Baltic. No fences
mark the boundaries Of the fertile farms
which stretch awsy over the rolling hills to
the distant horizon, all aglow with yellow
grain. At intervals clump of trees often
seen intensely dark against the ripe grain
shows where q farm house stands and giant
windmills swing their sails on the highest hill
tops. The highway, finely built chausses,
leads straight across the country, only curving
to pass through some village. Mountain ash,
birch, and cherry trees border the road In an
unbroken rank. In the bitches and by the
roadside grow countless varieties Of wild flow
ers-a perfect paradise for the botanist.
From the highest hill the eye meets to the
south a succession Of grain fields. To the
north, beyond the soft undulations Of the cul-
tivated hills, the Baltic shimmers in the strong
sunlight narrow line, sharp at the horizon.
The dimensions Of the brick barns prove the
accustomed magnitude Of the harvest the lux
ury Of the farmers houses tells Of inherited
success. p d. MilIet, IN April HdTper's

A CURIOUS STORY OF RECLAIMED HER.

feet. He left home in Maine about twenty
years ago while demt nted, and bad not been
heard from since. He came to the neighbo
hood where found about ~ years ago, and
had lived in his hut ever since, occasionally
working for the farmers, but mostly subsist
ing on berries, nuts aud what game be could
get by hunting. He was pleasant and agree
able, a great favorte with the children, aud
from expressions dropped it seemed that he
had been a sailor and had visited many for.
eign countrits. and also lived among the In
diane, but bis identity he never disclosed,
and il was never suspected. He has been re-.
peatedly written up as curiosity by news
papers. One OF these descriptions fell into
the hands of q niece lately, aud bis family
believed il to be he. The postmaster at Wa
CO, Ky. Was written to, aud bis replies CON
frmed the suspicion. Last week Daniel
Smith came on to Waco. He knew the de-
mented hermit to be his brother, but was not
recognized by the latter All inducements to
return to Maine were of no effect till he was
asked to go back to attend to his property,
Of which he left considerable, when he con-
sented. He suffered himself to be cleaned
and donned decent suit of clothes, and on
Friday sat down to a dinner table for the
fret time in 20 years. Daniel Smith says his
brother was q sea captain who made voyages
to Europe, and afterwsrd was in the lumber
business in Minnesota, and is supposed to
have lived for the first eight years of his dis
appearance among the Sioux. His wife and
grown up family in Maine eagerly await his
return.

Easter Morning

EhaNeF morning
Aloft to shining realms Of light
Up mounts the lark on Easter morn
He warbles, lost In heavens blue height
Glad songs Of resurrection dawn.
Aud a. he sings, there Join his lay
A thousand voices from the held,-
Awake the old hath passed away,
Awake, awake oh glad new world.
Awake, ye springs with Rny speed run.
Awake praise God with Joyous sound
Awake In spring CLEAN Of the sun,
Each fresh green blade, and bough bud-croW ned
oh primrose pale oh iowrs that fame
oh violet, from woodland shade
All now unite, and glad proclaim,
THAT love more strong than death ia made"
Awake ye hearts by sin mIsled,
Which wintry sleep Of soth benumbs.
Oppressed by gloom, overwhelmed by dread,
To withered dreams, thy life succumbs.
The strength q God sweeps through the land
With breath Of youth. oh let Il iu
Like Samson, burst each fett'ring band
And soar In eagle flight to heaven.
Awake ye souls whose ardent fire
Is quenched beside the open tomb
Whose tear-dim eyes do not aspire
TO catch earth's message Of Hpring-bloom.
oh sceptio, lost 10 maze forlorn
or endless doubt, Of aims untrue,
Awake rejoice the worlds Lew born
Ohsee, believe, the wonder new.
Behold redemptlon's type most fair
Ia sweet spriBg's guise to man is shown.
And dry 10 green, In the happy air,
And old 70 young again is grown.
OF life eternal see the token,
IN signs Of healing, far aud near,
The tomb-door by Gods breath is broken,
Awake glad Easter day is here.

Easter.

When the snow was deep, We said:
'ris a coverlet, gently spread
Spread and folded tenderly
Where the sleeping lilies lie;
Fold on fold Of heeey white,
Cold to touch and pure to sight,
Wrapped about the deep repose
OF the violet and the rote.
Softly speak and lightly tread
Death Is guarding life. we said.
When the spring was late, We said,
while the storm-wind d blew o'erhead.
Gods dear springtime doth but wait;
Come II soon or come IL late,
Come It slow or come It fast,
II shall surely come at last.
Frosts may blight and buds may rue;
Still the promise holdeth true.
Though the earth seem sore bestead,
God does not forget, we said.
When our souls were dark, We said:
Courage, soul-ba comfortedl
Every life some hardness knows,
Winter-time, and heavy SHOWS:
Every heart must learn to wait,
Though the spring be cold and late;
Prayers in time shall turn to praise,
Easter crown the Lenten days;
ChIist is risen from the dead;
Christ shall raise US, too, we said.

Henry Olews, the Wall street banker says
that men who drink whisky are sure to fail In

excitement enough without alcohol. When a

Corrections of Pedigrees,

We notice that the 1Dlericdn Culti-
rdtOl recently gave dam of Panic 2:2S
as by Harris llambletonian. There is
not a particle of evidence nor the least
reason to believe that she was. Panic
was sired by a son of Robinson's Sir
Charles, he by Hills Sir Charles, and
was bred at Stockholm, New York, by
Gilbert Trussell; dams, breeding I'M
mont; her breeding also entirly IN
known. This information is from Mr..
TrusselPs son. Mr.. Wallace gives Panic
by Sherman Black Hawk; dam by IIar-
ris' Hambletonian. AS with a large
share of his pedigrees, he does not give
breeder, in fact knows nothing about
the matter, and the pedigree he gives,
wherever it originated, may be put
down as a fraud.
We notice also that in his last Wal
lace's MOnthly, in the tabulated pedi-
gree of Ben Franklin and Addison
Lambert, gives the dam of Ethan AL
len by the Freeman horse, son of Og-
den's Messenger. This is not only I'M
true, but impossible. The only basis it
ever had was the fact that the Freeman
w AZ -NilNt'iiCDuly Cl gCults
and Charlotte, season of 1928, and that
Mr.. Wallace's information was Gas
usual, very incomplete and untrust-
worthy, that this dam was bought
somewhere under the Green Mountains
by a Mr.. Rising, peddler of wooden
bowls, etc., in one of his trips through
this region. 1t is ii fact that a Mr..
Rising owned at one time, and for a
number of years this mare, and drove
her on a peddler cart. 1t is not a fact
that he got her in Vermont. She was
owned when a wesnling by Gershom
Densmore of Hague, N, Y, who
brought her dam into that town with
this colt by her side, or carrying this
colt as early as 1928. Very full particu-
lars in regard to this mare, her offspring
and what is known of her dam will ap.
pear soon in the Middlebury REGISTER.

S6orse Department.

The steadily-growing popularity OF the
Morgan horse. and the increasing demand
for animals bred from the best existing
lines of that blood. with pedigrees that can
be vouched for as authentic, has led the ed
itors of this department TO undertake the
collection and veritication as far rs posi-
BILE. of Morgan pedigrees from the time of
the original Justin Morgan to the present.
In connection with this work we are also
investigating the pedigrees of all trotting
horses that have proved their powers of en-
durance by trotting fifty or more public
and recorded races each. We nave already
received from original sources a large
amount of important information in both
these lines, much of which will he given in
these columns. For the completion of our
work, which will he published IN book
form, we want pedigree, description and
history of every meritorious stallion de
scended in direct male line from Justin Nor
gan that has ever been used for stock pur-
poses. Blanks for this information will be
furnished free on application. Questions of
public interest concerning Morgan horses
will be answered in this department. All
communications in this department may be
addressed to w. II. Bliss, Rochester, Vt.

And in answer to q letter written
May 21st, saws that the man who raised
the horse Sam is dead, as is also Mi
chacl Little.
The facts stated in the introduction
comprise all that is actually known of
the pedigree of Blue Bull. The follow
ing description of Old Sam, sire of Blue
Bull, is from an Article in Wallace's
MORthly of August, 1884, by Seymour
5. Cole, and is there given as the state
ment of john r.. Cole:
"Old Sam-as III late years he has
been called-was about 16 hands high /;
he had a short head and neck such as is
usually termed a Canadian head and
neck, deep broad shoulders, strong
back, but rather peaked in the hind
quarters. The only marked feature of
beauty which he possessed was a very
neat, well-set ear. In color he was
neither a dun nor a sorrel, but a color
bordering between the two, a kind of
pumpkin-colore6 sorrel, with a bald
face, the entire front of the head being
white. His front legs were white to
the knees; his hind legs were white to
the hooks, with the white on one leg
extending to the sheath on the inside of
one leg. His withers were crossed
with a black or dark stripe, and a wide
black or dark stripe ran the full length
of his back, and, just after shedding,
black or dark stripes were noticeable
on his legs. lie was blind in the left
eye, it having been knocked out by
striking him with the end of a Bride
rein. This occurred before he was a
three-year-old.'
