Wild Horses. T here are in the foothills of 1e us county, not far from Stanford. a herd al wild horses numbering 30 or 40 headed by a coal black stallion. The band has been seen by scores of per- sons and its general haunts are well known. but no member of it has been captured. Aside from the leader the members f s ittc ,band are not attractive. In fact, most of them are scrubby in appearance. But they are all alert, sttrefooted and fleet, and when the main .body is feed- ing in the hills they keep their sentin- ells to apprise them of danger. The band has been known to exist in those hills for many years, and old- timers believe thats its origin harks back to the earliest appearance of white men in this section. They are said to show even greater apprehension on the approach of human beings than do the ordinary deer. Old settlers say, too. that a few years ago there were nearly twice as many as are now in the band, and some believe they have split into two bands, and one has wandered to other localities.—N1 pls.

The beautiful spring month of May, while it comes to us with the fragrance of flowers and much that is cheeful and beautiful, yet it also brings to us Memorial Day and with it many sad Memories. We are. not indebted to history for our knowledge of the great- est of national crises. Many of us re- member it and fathers and mothers now living had better keep telling that story to their children, so that instead of their being dependent uppn cold type and obliged to say: \On such a page of such a book you can read that.\ will they rather be able to say: \My father told me so!\ My mother told me so!\ Men and women who vividly remember 1861. and 1862 and 1863 and 1864, be yourselves the historians telling it, not with pen but with living tongue and voice and gesture. That is the great use of Memorial Decor- ation day, for the rally Fillies on the grave tops soon become breathless of perfume and in a week turn to dust like unto that which lies beneath them. But the story of courage and self-Fac- rifice and pairiotism told on platfoims and in households and by the oad side and in churches and in cemeteries, but that annual recital will he kept fresh in the memory of generations as our American institutions are worthy of preservam n.
