Song of the Sea Shell.

Mysterious shell. historian of the main,
Although exile from thy native shore,
Some tints of splendor thou dost yet RETAIN
And of thy home thou singest evermore.
Interpreting thy sweet and gentle song,

The sunny sails. like white clouds fecked along
The far horizon in a dreamless sleep.

The ranging seagull in its happy flight.
The careful fowler and his dancing skiff
And lifted oar reflected in the light;
The smiling waters like the fairest glass,
And giving back the beauty of the day:
The drifting seaweed and the shoals that pass
Like dreams of ideness upon their way;
The fishermen among the tangled sedge.
And hauling in their loaded nets with care;
The samphire gath'rer O. er the frowning ledge
BY idle ropes suspended in the air;
The band Of children thro' the lvelong day,
The golden bars of mist along the west:
The changing water fowls upon their way
To seek the reedy shelter of their nest.
All this 1 see. and farer dreams arise
From thy sweet strain. thou singer sad and
lone:
1 view again the light of coudless skies,
And wales and hills with flowers overblown.
And thus like thee afar from childhood's shore
And all its grace. together let us learn
A lay OF love that echoes evermore,
And sing of days that never can return.

standing at the side gate at the old home,
where she had just left. She looked back
and kissed her chubby hand as she dis
appeared out of view, on the south of
what is now the Hunter home and on her
way to the station for Anderson.
The old station building OF those DAYS
harbored some tough characters no doubt,

years have been enrolled on Father Times

Brewer are no nearer a knowledge of her
whereabouts than in 1892. when they dis
covered that she was missing.

she was we'll and favorably known. She

she was directed to Mrs. Morey, a widow
who occasionally kept private boarders,
and there she went each time. Inc last
visit she made she remained a week or ten

Growth of Angus Cattle.

1t must be gratifying indeed, to
lovers of the Aberdeen-Angus breed
of cattle to know and realize the Won
derful progress made by this famous
class OF cattle during the past decade.
For the year ending June ], 1894,
there We're recorded in America only
1787 head. For the corresponding
period ending in 1903 the number had
risen TO 1898, an increase OF over
600O.t
Up to and including 1897 there were
3S5 more recorded Angus cattle in
Scotland than in America. But be-
ginning with the year following, 1898,
the country gradually drew away from
the parent country and in 1908 there
were 5000 more cattle recorded in this
country than in Scotland.
The total number recorded in both
countries June !. 1903 was 69.56O
head, as against 1850 in 1894. This
gain Is almost phenomenal. especially
when 1t Is taken into consideration
that the other breeds. notably Here
fords. Shorthorns and Galloways, have
made extraordinary efforts to build up
and extend the popularity of their
kinds.
The growth Of numbers in the rec
Is of the Aberdeen Angus breed is
not the only factor that should awak-

ON of the Angus breeder. The in
creased favor with which they have
been received in various parts Of the
country; the strong demand from new
breeders; the high pinnacle IN almost
all contests which the "doddy' has at
tanned, all these speak volumes for the
hardy black cattle and which insure
for them permanent place in the
hearts Of lovers of pure bred cattle in
whatever part Of the country they may
be found. Surely the members of the
American Aberdeen-A Angus Cattle
Breeders Association have just cause
to congratulate themselves.
