Bought Here Forty Years Ago.

Working six days out of every seven on
the construction work of the New Eng
land Telephone company in Marlboro,
Mass, are two gray horses, Dick and
Dan, whose ages aggregate 81 years.
This statement is vouched for by the
animals owner, Herbert K. Lathe, who
has had them for 40 years himself, and
says he would not sell them for $4,000.
He bought the pair in St. Johnsbury,
when they were two year olds, finished
breaking them himself, and he says they
never have had a sick day. They show
every indication of being able to do as
much work as they ever did. In fact, the
the owner says they can do more work
in eight hours than the younger animals
working beside them. and he claims for
them the championship OF the world for
age and ability.
They are of Arabian blood, their sires
and danes being imported about so years
ago.

erection of suitable quarters which are
necessary if the work is successfully con-
tinued. Hon. 81. NJ. Stone has offered free
to the government for term of fveyears,
a very desirable site below his residence,
with river frontage. This is a point easy
of access from the highway and from the
river. He stipulates only nominal
rental per year after the five years are
up, a matter of less than $1Oa year.
The site was personally inspected by
Senator Proctor in company with Mr..
Carter and Mr.. Titcomb and Mr.. Stones
generous offer fully approved by all. 1t
is understood Superintendent Carter
will recommend to Commissioner Bow
ers, at the head of the United States
bureau of fisheries at Washington, that
the site be accepted and that the neces-
sary buildings be erected, or that a be-
ginning may be made towards providing
suitable quarters.

Although the above letter will be read

there is nothing in it which comes to us
as a surprise. During their long sojourn
among us at their pretty Villa Dammit,
Pieta, Mr.. Clapp and his amiable lady
have made friends of the Maltese; of that
character which evades notoriety and
abhors ostentation. No charitable ap-
peal has been refused their support. and
no good work has lacked their encourage

and sympathy, our opulent guests will
have reflected the grandeur of character
which distinguishes the great land that
