VANCOUVER. Wssh.. Aug. IS. (Spe

own. the equine grief of a mare on the
fsrm of Charles Stoll. near Proebitel.
is believed to have been supplanted by
the renewed contentment of mother
hood. A short time ago a colt waa born
to the mare. The colt lived but a few
days and as the mare roamed discon
solately about the Stoll pasture she
crossed the path of a cow with a calf.
A battle between the cow and the
mare followed and the latter won tha
affections of the calf. Whenever after
wards the cow would attempt to ap
proach the new born calf the mare,
with eare laid back, would make a
deaperate charge and drive off the
beaten mother.
The mare and the calf are now in
separable, the calf thriving under th
watchful car of lta foater mother.

"But any public ..uneslness over the
