Each year finds many new owners of Morgans — each owner a great booster who won- ders why he didn't get wise to the best all-purpose saddle horse sooner. Keystone, the champion Morgan stallion owned by the Keystone Ranch, Entiat, Washington, was winner of the stock horse class at Wash- ington State Horse Show. Mabel Owen of Merrylegs Farm wanted to breed and raise hunters and jumpers. She planned on thoroughbreds until she discovered the Morgan could do everything the thoroughbred could do and the Morgan is calmer and more manageable. So the Morgan is her choice. The excellent Morgan stallion, Mickey Finn, owned by the Mar-La •antt Farms, Northville, Michigan, is another consistent winner in Western LITTLE FLY classes. A Morgan Horse on Western Range. Spring Hope, the young Morgan mare owned by Caven-Glo Farm Westmont, Illinois, competed and won many western classes throughout the middle-west shows the past couple of years, leaving the popular Quar- ter horse behind in many instances. The several Morgan horses owned by Frances and Wilma Reichow of Lenore, Idaho, usually win the western classes wherever they show. J. C. Jackson & Sons operate Pleasant View Ranch, Harrison, Mon- tana. Their Morgan stallion, Fleetfield, is a many-times champion in western stock horse classes. They raise and sell many fine Morgan horses each year.

  • Chaucer New Painted (1623): Three Hundred Proverbs in Performance Context
    Oral Tradition, 10/2 (1995): 304-358 Chaucer New Painted (1623): Three Hundred Proverbs in Performance Context Betsy Bowden Among many battles currently being lost by English professors is one to retain the meaning of the word “unique.” Unfortunately, nobody who substitutes it for “unusual” is apt to read this argument that the long poem Chaucer New Painted, which is unique in certain aspects and nearly unique in others, can open a gateway to realms of information less accessible were scholarly inquiry limited to more prevalent forms of verbal art. Investigation of this very unusual Jacobean-era poem will reveal wide- ranging diachronic issues about the interface between oral tradition and formal education. It will indicate that a genre nowadays neglected or maligned, the proverb, has stood as keystone in the continuity of oral and written culture across millennia of Western intellectual history, up until the present century. The useful poetic gateway to such an expanse of scholarly issues has survived only by chance, in a unique copy owned by the Huntington Library. My introduction to the Appendix, which consists of its text reprinted and annotated for the first time, gives bibliographic details. The sole copy of Chaucer New Painted begins at the beginning but ends before the end of the story being told, for the title page and at least one concluding page are missing. Chaucer New Painted is not quite unique in its form, that of a proverb collection incorporated into a frame narrative. Literature in English offers five additional examples of framed proverb collections, done respectively by Geoffrey Chaucer before 1400, John Heywood in 1546, Jonathan Swift in 1738, Benjamin Franklin in 1758, and William Blake ca.
