The Old Red COW. the Cornish cow,
And two that came from Marlows,
The one that tied up next the foot,
And two we had of Harlow.
They made our herd; the tirst-named
OF course, she tried to boss it,
But, hold on there, I've most forgot
Old Nan, the family cosset.
The sheep twas old when | was young
And never got no older;
The sheep that claimed to be a COW,
No matter what you told her;
The sheep that when the brook was high,
Would wade right straight across it
About two feet behind Old Red
4 fOrward-facing cOsset.
The sheep that left her kith and kin,
Resolved to be climber;
She put the Sheepish life behind
For aims and ends sublimer;
\ stream of recOllectiOns runs
Through memOry'S silver faucet,
And keeps alive n thousand thoughts
OF our old blue-nosed cOsset.
She'd watch through morning milking time
Until the bars would rattle,
Then troop to pasture with the cows
And other head of cattle;
And when they went to drink, she, too,
Took on a wet deposit;
She even used to try to moo,
Our blue-nosed dear old cOsset.
And when the herd come up at night,
BY George you never missed her;
\ sister to the OK she was,
At least, a hair a sister;
You couldn't help but praise her nerve
There amt no use to gloss it
I'd like to see Old Nan again.
Old Nan, the family cosset.
1t broke her heart to take her fleece.
1t made her SO much smaller;
She'd sly off round and stretch her neck
In hopes of getting taller;
OH if her form could reappear
I'd raise a glass of posset.
Or anything the law allows.
And drink to our old cosSet

slaves still flourish in the unconquered
districts of both the French and Span

stories that some of the slaves are white
people, but these reports are not borne
out by inquiry.
Threats by the turbulent Moors of the
Riff coast to sell into slavery Spanish

father, with whom he had been wrecked

pesetas, led The Associated Press cor
respondent to make an inquiry into the
question of the existence of enslaved
white people in northern Africa.
The result of his inquiries shows that
of recent years instances of white people
being sold into slavery have been very
rare. but there are slave markets for
the sale and purchase of colored people
in the districts to which French or Sprn-
ish rule have not reached.

federal law and regulations of the coun-

numbers are increasing each year, and
that they are returning in spring to
numerous breeding grounds which they
had deserted for several years

game thus assured by continued pro
