"She cost the Township about two
hundred and nineteen dollars last
year," Darius Foss lifted his eyes
from his papers to fling the words at
his fellow selectmen grouped, in what
might have been called secret and es-
pecial session, around the dining room
table at the poor-farm. His listening
colleagues stared blankly at one an
other in the silence of CONSERVATION,
which Elder Babcock was the first to
break. The Elder rose ponderously
and brought down on the red and blue
checked cloth heavy hand that rat
tied the permanent group of castors
and pickle-jars in the center. His
words, however, belied his threatening
attitude. MIR. Chairman" he looked
at Alonzo LETTERS as he spoke, for no
degree of excitement could render
him supplementary, "Mr. Chairman,

Stout, red-faced Mr.. letters, lolling
in his chair at the head of the table,

content to nod lazily in the Treasur-
er's direction. go on, Dari," said
he. Meanwhile Mr. Foss, assisted by
the remaining members of the Board,
the Hatch boys, twin veterans of sew
enty-five, who did nothing singly had
arranged his papers in neat order.
Now, clearing his throat, he rose to
his feet. II amt entered these ere

The First Mustangs.

VIII C. Barnes in the January Mcclure ;
The first horses of the Western plains
.were probably brought there by the
Spaniards In 1915, almost fifty years
before jamestown was settled, Coronado,
the Spanish captain, was roaming about
the plains of New Mexico; and he tells of
the dogs used by the Indians to haul
their plumber on lodge poles, indicating
that they had no horses at that date.
In ZIG the Spanish again worked their
way eastward across the plains, and
their letters tells of the establishment of
the Indians at seeing the horses they had
with them The expedition was constant
ly losing horses and there is little doubt
that the first droves of western horses
originated from these strays.
In the early days upon the plains they
were great pest to travellers as
they are today. Woe be unto the luck
less camper who allowed band of wild
horses TO get close enough TO his gentle
horses, turned out for the night, to sweep
them off: 1t was almost useless to follow,
for the call of the wild comes to the
gentlest of horses when he is thrown
with band of his kind that have been
born and raised free of all restraint.
!. is a well known f. ct tat the sar est

all in a mad race across the prairie, is
