That rolls as far and rolls as free,

Where the cattle roam and rest.
Oh. could ye see and could we see
The great gold skies SO clear,
The rivers that race through the pine
shade dark.
The mountainous SHOWS that take no

Sunlit and high on the Rockies stark.
So far they seem as near.
Then could We feel. and could we feel
How fresh IL a western night!
When the long land breezes rise and pass
And sigh in the rustling prairie grass.
When the dark blue skies are clear as

And the same old stars are bright.
But could We know. and forever know,

a word she breathes to the true and bold.
"A word misknown to the false and cold,
a word that never wac spoken or sold,
But the one that knows is best.

called Esopus In the state of New
York. and near the Rosemont farm
of one hundred and forty acres where
Alton b. Parker lives. can not be found
on the maps of the country. OF course.
under the peculiar circumstances
there is a very natural and general de-
sire to know exactly where it is. 1t is
barely possible that those who are
seeking for the place do not spell the
word correctly. Try E-soap-uS or
tE- sop-us In the event that you can
not find 1t by either of the these spell
ings, try Esau-pus. 1t was probably
named for one Esau. who sold his
