Owing to the fact that the
MARYLAND Society of Washington
Yesterday celebrated the 15Oth an
adversary of the ratification of the
constitution, having to do with
the early history of the state,
Long Meadows" the present
home of J. Forney Young, on the
Marsh Pike, it brought to mind.
George T. Prather, Clearspring,
well versed in Washington Coun-
tv history, tells of Long Mead
ows." the early home of Thomas
.Cresap, as being one of the very
first points of settlement in this
section and one of the early set
Elements in the State.
Mr.. Prather says that Cresap,
on June 16, 1879, received his pat
ent for the Long Meadow, $50
acres, located about two miles
north of Hagerstown. According
to Mr.. Prather, it is certain that
this tract of land was purchased
for the purpose of settlement and
was actually occupied at or before
that time. 1t is we'll known of
Cresap that prior to this time he
had lived in Pennsylvania There
he became involved in a fight and
was compelled to leave and so
took up land in Maryland. His
new location was we'll adapted for
the securing of beaver skins, since
at that time the animal must have
abounded along the waters of the
Antietam and Conococheague. 1t
is said that having secured a
large number of beaver skins, in
'vesting all the money he had in
them, he shipped them to England
expecting to realize the usual
profit of about 80 to 1. But, in
stead of making the expected
profit, the shipment was captured
lat sea by French privateers and,
of course, totally lost. In order
to obtain funds to start trading
again, Cresap was compelled to-
mortgage Long Meadow" to Col.
Dulaney. He then left what is
now Washington County and re-
.ceived a grant of land, November
.27, 1740, Skipton in Crafen, 100
acres, located at Old Town, Mary
land, where he remained for a.
considerable time. It is said that
ne realized as much as 10000
pounds profit on beaver obtained
at that place.

The White Foe
BY Mary Wilder Pease

You wore your lovely camouflage
of white,
That Nature gave you lest your
dark coat show
Too plainly, on the drifted fields
of snow.
You sped across the Swallowed
paths of night,
And matched your wit with every
waiting foe
Save one, whose treachery you
could not know.
No wind could tell you that a
thing with jaws,
Set cunningly to trap your hapless
form,
Was buried deeply where an icy
storm
Had made pitfall for your quest
ing paws.
No instinct checked you at the
frozen sedge,
No white owl warned you from
the woodlands edge.
Oh! Death be merciful, since
thoughtless man
Breaks laws the wild has kept
since earth began.
They say dollar doesn't go
