Wild horses and wild cattle within
q few hours ride from Washington
form an attraction which, though
comparatively unknown a year or
two ago, is becoming popular.
Each year down on Chincoteague
Island, just off the end OF the
FRANKLIN City branch of the Della
ware division of the Pennsylvania
railroad, a real wild West roundup
of ponies takes place. Though this
annual roundup has already taken
place this year, there is still much
Of interest to be found on the island.
Chtncoteague Island, in Chesa-
pea.ke bay, is from eight to ten miles
long and at no point more than
two miles wide. It Is about ten
miles out from the coast, directly
opposite LeCato station on the Nor
folk division of the Pennsylvania
lines.
NAV Be Reached by Auto.
Last fall a road across the marsh
was constructed by the State OF
Virginia and the island can be
reached by automobile by passing
over this marsh road and crossing
six separate bridges.
According to Reuben Ph1pps, Del
aware division freight agent OF tina
railroad, there is a legend to the
effect that years ago a Spanish
vessel on which were a number OF
Monies was wrecked just off the ISL
and and several Of the animals
swan ashore, and as the Indians
who then inhabited the island, trav'
eled only by canoe, they were not
molested and began to increase
rapidly, until as recently as th1r-
ty-five years ago, they were on the
island In thousands.
The roundup Of the ponies has
been an annual affair for years and
always has been the occasion for
holiday on the island. AS the ex-
tent Of the country over which the
ponies Craze is limited, it is not
difficult to get them together.
When they first enter the town
they are very wild. After spending
the night in the pens they quiet
down, and do not cause any excite
ment until one of them Is sold
and roped. Getting the pony out
of the pen and on it's way to the
home Of its new owner frequently
causes considerable excitement.
On the day Of the sale ponies
from the age Of six months to four.

the sale, before the young ponies

all are branded with the initials Of

A Crazy Recitation

1t was midnight on the ocean
Not street car was in SIGHT;
The sun was shining brightly.
And it rained all day that night.
1t was evening and the rising sun
Was setting in the west;
The fishes in the pine trees
Were cuddled in their nest.
Twas summer day in winter,
The snow was raining fast,
A barefoot girl with shoes on
Was sitting on the grass.
The rain was pouring downward
The moon was shining bright,
And everything that you could see
Was hidden out Of sight.
While the organ peeled potatoes,
Lard was rendered by the choir
While the sexton rang the dish rag
Some one set the church on hre
"Holy smokel" the parson shouted
And the poor guy lost his ha!ri
Now his head Is just like Heaven
For there Is no parting there

Except for the house roads fig-,s,
not much of general significance was
done by either house last week. The
senate was grinding away on rou-
tine code revision bills up to We'd
nesday night. Much of the time in
the house was taken up, too, with
code revision matters. How far this
Legislature had gone up to now in
the way of completed legislation,
may be guaged by the fact that last
Saturday afternoon only three bills
had been sent to the governors Of
flee for his signature.
An administration bill, propos-
ing to substitute in charge of tax
assessments, in place of executive
council and township assessors, "a
state board of assessment working
full time upon taxation matters, and
county assessors. The state board
of assessment, under the committee
plan, would be gwen a much wider
range of powers than are exercised
now by the executive council as TO
taxation matters, and county assess
ors would be required to base their
assessment largely upon personal re-
turns submitted by each taxpayer,
listing and swearing to his taxable
property.
"A bill to create a state budget
board composed of nine state officers,
which would have summary author
ity as TO requests for appropriations
by all state agencies and depart
ments.
3-A bill to cause the creation or
local budget boards in Iowa cities,
which would be required to estimate
in advance expenditures in all regr-
lar funds, TO publish these estimates,
and to grant hearings upon them TO
interested persons. Appeals from
these estimates could be taken to
the state board of assessment, which
would have power to reduce or eli
inmate them, following public hear
ing.
"A bill providing a statewide tax
on gasoline Of one cent gallon, the
proceeds TO go into the county road
building funds.
5-A bill providing statewide tax
Of 10 per cent on amusement tickets
of all kinds, the proceeds to go into
the county school funds.
This rerort now is in the hands of
house and senate ways and means
committees.
Debate in the senate late last week
upon the Bowman resolution calling
for an amendment to the state con-
stitution permitting the state to
pledge is credit for rural credits
system, indicated quite conclusively
that the resolution will pass the sem
ate when it comes up for final action
in that house on Feb. 10. Action
was postponed until that date so that
