Three Years Ago,
Nothing is more interesting than to
examine, if occasion permits, a map of
the United States sixty years ago.
Such an atlas has lain, for many years,
in an obscure corner in the Advertiser
Office, unopened and unexamined. 1t is
OF the date of 1927, and was published
by Anthony Finley, Philadelphia. How
strange to the eyes of the present gen.
Grafton the outlines which mark our
country. British Columbia is called
''Rupert's Land" Mexico includes what
we now know as California, New Mexico
and Texas. But single entire State

Waters, then, as now, divided Louis
lana in twain. Arkansas appears as

the westward stretches great unknown
country, called missouri Territory. y
drackless, unexplored, the maker of the
map considered this vast region of such

shown upon the map, save upon the
general map of the continent. In the
region of the great lakes appear the

High winds were rampant in the north;
Her scarf, unwound from on her throat,
Flapped silken wings against my coat.
We walked so near together that
My shoulder touched her jaunty hat;
taste OF Heaven 1t seemed to be,
Such strange delights encompassed me.
Ahl who shall analyze the power,
This witchery Of place and hour,
This contact, slight as touch can be,
Which fills two hearts with ecstacyi

lightly touched her lips and left
A kiss upon their crimson cleft,
Which marked an era in my life;
asked her then to be my wife.
Six perfect years have passed since then;
To-day bless the moment when
Into the rainfall we slept forth,
While winds were rampant in the north.

Without knowing what it all meant,
the chief clapped the nippers on our
prisoner, justly believing that If burg
lars were about to show themselves so
Unexpectedly, the best thing to do was
to handcuff them IS fast as they ap-
peared, and then to ask questions. The
reasons for not having produced this
man before, and for producing him now,
were not very satisfactory to the officer.
Have you any more in the CELLAR" he
asked. ''If 50, / should like to take a
look at them before start away"
At this moment Aunt Martha made
her appearance at the front door.
What are you going to do with that
young man?" she asked, sharply. what
right have you to put irons upon him?"
Aunt Martha" said 1, stepping back
to her, what do you think that young
man has done?"
II don't KNOW" said she; chow should
l know? All know is that we agreed
to set him free"
l addressed her solemnly: David and

He availed himself of the first moments
OF his liberation to kiss Alice" Aunt
Martha looked at me with wide open
eyes, and then her brows contracted and
her face settled into lines of infexibls
severity.
''He did, did he?'' said she. "And
that is the kind of man he isP Very
good. Let him go to Jail with the
others. l don't believe one word about
his young wife. If kissing respectable
young women is the way he studies real
ism the quicker he goes to Jail the bet
ter" and with that she turned and
walked into the house.
When the men had been placed in
the two vehicles in which the police had
come the chief and 1 made an examina-
ton of the premises, and we found that
the house had been entered by kitchen
window, in exactly the manner which
the tall burglar had described Out

matter to my wife and aunt, could not
well override their decision. AS for
what the young man said for himself,
gave 1t no weight whatever, for of course
he would say the best he could for him
self. But the testimony of the others
had weight. When they both declared
that he was not burglar, but merely a
journalist engaged in what he supposed
TO be his duty, 1t would seem to be a
cruel thing to stamp him as criminal
by patting him in charge OF the con-
stables.
But my indecision soon came to an
end, for Aunt Martha declared that no
time should be lost IN setting the young
man free, for should the people in town

KEEP HEALTHY COWS.
Sound Advice Given by the Massachuset
Cattle Com mission.


For the safety of farm herds secure a
stock Of healthy animals, and then breed
sufficient number of young TO fully
supply the home demand. A purchased
creature from an unknown quarter may
be source Of danger The oft-repeated
story Of those who find tuberculosis in
their herds is, 81 bought COW, thin in
flesh and looking badly, but thought she
would improve on my keeping. Instead
she grew worse and died, and some OF
my other cattle have that same bad
/ look" Never. on any consideration.
breed from an animal Of either sex on
which there is a shadow Of suspicion
as to health and vigor Of constitution.
Whether berculosis be directly heredi-
tary or not a weak constitution most
surely is, and such animals have little
power to resist diseases II in any way
they they are exposed TO them. Feed
generously, but do not pamper, nor con-
fine animals in too close and ill-ven-
tilated stables. The commissioners find
the most diseases where the stables are
narrow and tightly boarded up in front,
so that the breath of any sick animal
must be more or less mingled with that
Of all the others over and over again,
with no sufficient inflow of fresh out
side air Keep sharp lookout for the
earliest signs of disease, and, IL possible,
separate into a comfortable stall any
animal that threatens danger to tho
herd. II an occasional animal must be
bought for breeding or other purposes,
and its history is uncertain, keep it
apart till its character Cor health is
reasonably assured. Allow no consump-
tive person to have the care of herds of
cows, remembering that the expectora-
tions from diseased person, falling
upon the food of animals, is dangerous.
