Two Famous Old Mares.

"Vigilant," who writes so entertain
ingly for the Spirit of the Times, paid
visit to the Erdenheim farm at Phila-
deiphia not long ago, and tells this
story: Away off in one corner of the
field are two mares who keep apart
from the rest. Both ere cllestnuts, but
there the similarity ends. One IS q
buXQm beatty. as fresh and brisk as q
Eli Of twenty; the other is as angular
and wasted as patient i'll the lower
ward OF q conSumptive hospital. John
McCloskey has only to whistle and in
stantly all is animation throughout the
field. The mares come trotting up, and
first of all are the pair noted. The
beauty is first. DO you know her?'
asks Mr.. Kittson. No. We reply.
We'll, that's Maggie j: the other one
is Waltz, the dam of Glidelia.' We
were prepared to see q well-preserved
mare, but Maggie 3 B would readily
pass for an eight-year-old. Unless
a man knew her he would never
credit the fact that she is now coming
twenty-one. She is truly a beautiful
mare, of the powerful, short-legged
kind, this mother of Iroquols. A
blonde beauty of the deep chestnut-red
which Australian so commonly gave
ms children. and like the Australians,
with solid-cclored, broad, fat legs. She
is in fine flesh; and her coat shines. She
carries heavily her pledge of Wood
lands affection, and She seems good for
ten years yet, this mother of IroquoiS,
Harold, Panique, Pera, Francesca, and
grandmother of Belvidere and Sir
Dixon. A greater contrast could not
be presented than she presents to
Waltz, though both are the same age.
The dam of Glidelia is wasted, gaunt,
and mere steed of old mortality who
evidently has not long to live, and it is
doubtful If she will be offered at the
sale. Maggie, however. looks as bright
as the day she beat Enquirer nineteen
years ago. She chums very much with
Waltz, and Mr.. Kittson says she gives
in to the old one. allowing the decrepit
relic to take an ear Of corn from her at

themselves together under the leadership of

were to refuse To have any intercourse with

Tamascse to the English and American

the coast of Africa or Australia, and the
elevation of his rival to the throne as

mother few weeks a cousin of the family,
an elderly ladv, died The funeral services
were held in the village church, and Jack,
much to his disgust, was told to remain at
home In the middle of the services, how
ever, his grandmother was scandalized by
seeing his curly head stuck through the
half opened vestry door while he curlously
sCrutiniLed the proceedings within.
when the mOurncrs left the church the
grandmother was on tn. alert to seize the
Young reprobate. but seeing him perched
on the box Of the hearse, beside the driver
it seemed to her best to avoid the diStur-
bance which might be caused by an at
tempt at his forcible removal Jack rode
on quietly enough until the cemetery was
reached when catching sight of his friend
the sexton, who awaited the procession by
the open grave. the rascal sCandaIized

for him to carry him home in the carriage
