Red Acre Farm . Home Founded BY
Young Woman.

One of the most notable Of the semi
private humane establishments for the
rescue of broken-down horses is known
as Red Acre Farm, a charitable home
for horses opened on May 8, 1908, at
Stow, Mass, says Home Magazine.
The farm Is situated % miles from
Boston, and consists of 81 acres OF
land, divided up into pasture land and
paddocks, with portion of it devoted
to stables, Office and hospital Red
Acre Farm was founded by young
woman, Miss H. c. Bird, who gave up
to the use of the horse the home and
grounds which she inherited from her
father, and who devotes all her time
and strength to succoring the horse
She daily oversees the conditions al
the home and has the advice and sup
port of well known humanitarians.
The farm is kept up by contribu
tions and the board Of pensioners or
horses put out to pasture during the
summer by owners who want good
care taken Of them while out of town.
Members of Red Acre Farm also pay
a small annual fee Of $5, and philan-
thropists can endow stall in the sta
bles of Red Acre Farm for 500, which
the donor can keep filled by horses of
his own choosing all the time. None
of the active officers accept salaries,
and all money coming into the farm is
expended for the object of Its incep-
ton.

AS Of course you know, Mr.. Savage
produced "The Sultan of Sulu."
Peggy from Paris" and other comic
operas of which Mr.. Ade's prolific pen
was the proud progenitor, and he was
urging the Hoosier librettist to write
another musical comedy for the Sav.
age office.
Cant do it, governor" cried Mr..
Ade. shaking his head, gloomIly;
cant do it; can't write lyrics to

"You can't write lyrics?" echoed the
tall manager well I'd like to know
what's the matter with 'R-em-o-r-s-e.'

grimly; "R-e-m-o-r-s-e wasn't q lyric;

The Paper Dollar Habit.

The paper dollar habit is making
way slowly in the west. For years
there were hardly any 81 bills in circu-
lation west of the Mississippi. It was
all silver dollars out here, and the
paper dollars we're circulated back
east" Now the paper dollars are
taking the place of the silver dollars
out here. And the people like the
change.
Cant you give me paper?" is a
question the cashier of cafe says he
hears many times a day. "And l
can," he continued, because SO many
persons offer paper money in paying
their bills. Why, | take In enough
during the week to paper a fiat
carry an armful to the bank every
day. Persons like paper money be-
cause it is easy to carry and doesn't
wear holes through pockets"

After considerable stammering and

one hand upon the youths shoulder in
kindly way

little girl is grown up, and must have

The young fellow bIushed painfully,
but with thrill Of pride, threw out
his chest and answered, Il already
have her heart In my keeping. sir!"
