Dear Aunt Madge:
want to say q wor about the horse beside
the road. 1 saw = horse beside the road the
other day, which probably had been put
there by coming in contact with an auto
truck. 1t was dead horse.
was reminded that when had travelled on
this road, before it had been called a boule-
ward, having a concrete bed and oil surface.
/ had the tedious experience OF pushing on
the reiDs, and saw that that was the order Of
the day 10 the company kept on that and
other dusty, not often very muddy thorough
fares.
This is all changed. seldom see = horse
on the road now. and when ! do it is pretty
sure to be driven by Mexican having his
whole family in q rickety wagon that is
drawn by mustang whose ribs can easily
be counted. / have never yet seen one of
these family pets shy at an auto. They
don't seem to have life enough for that. That
is probably why saw the one above men
toned beside the road with his brains
knocked out.
When / came to this country over forty
years ago saw herds Of horses grazing in the
valleys and on the plains. also saw teams oi
them and mules doing such work that I'd
been used to seeing oxen dc on New England
farms, and remember how had heard my
father and his neighbors say many g time
that horses would never supplant oxen OF
those farms. How is it now?
Out here in this country, within the forty
wears of my residence here, autos and auto
trucks have driven horses of the road almost
completely, and traction auto gears are fss
driving them of cultivated acres. 1t is a stu
pendous change all round. SUSAN.

turned to their homes, mustered out of

were members of the 18th, 14th and 18th
Maine regiments and OF the LIST Maine cav
airy, all of whom were quartered in Au-
gusat the winter of 1851 and 1857, will recall
the spread OF the measles at that time; and
how the public halls were converted into
hospitals for the hundreds, who were ill
OF the disease. Many brave fellow went
home as the boys are being sent home
to-day with the flag covering his still
form.

Vanatta, south of Farber, has dur

win the war She has taken a mans
place on the farm when help was
not obtainable. She helped to culti-

spell and did good work. Corn in

Things broke hard for her bro
ther right at the time when crops
needed work. The father was taken
to st. Louis hospital for an oper-
nineteen-year-old brother, worked
night and day but was unable to
do all of the work.
In the emergency Miss Vanatta
volunteered help. She had her
brother harness the mule team to
the riding cultivator. After two
weeks it was nip and tuck between
her brother and herself-who could
harness the teams the quicker.
Miss Vanatta wore broadbrimmed
