AWHITE MULE.-A friend told us yester-
day of an amusing scene he witnessed late
ly at the Old river ford, near Natchitoches,
In this State. A negro had 4 wagon and a
team of six mules which he wished to drive
across. The two lead mules took kindly to
the water, but one of the hind ones, awhite
mule, O~bstinately refused to enterthe stream
Jumping from his seat IA a furious passion,
the teamster began beating the perverse
one with might and main, exclaiming be-
tween the blows, ''you think you's white,
does you? But III show you dam quick

kersey and the like, and afterwards vari-
Gus other kinds of cloth, b5th twillsd and
plain. Alter 1916 che commenced the
weaving of bed tick, and while engaged
on this. began to speculate on the pos6il-
Ity OF weaving seamless bag. Not then
PerceiViug any practical utility in this,
the idea was abandoned for a time, and
she began to weave coVeilets and other
fabrics, with four leaves aud four tread
les. To effect her purpose, she had her
old-fashiOned hand loom altered and fitted
for the work, she directing tue alterations.
Then came three lsaved tWills and then
"stTipes," alternately twilled aud plain in
the warp. In 1898. she spun aud wove
piece of four-ply csrpetiug on the same
old loom, making the necessary changes
in its hanging gear, and giving iustruo-
lions for making of shafts or lever on
which to hang the harness. Tbs idea Of
seamless bags had not been entirely ab4p-
doned. II was still on her mind as prac-
lieable, although it was secuted aRd
laughed al by some OF her acquain tsnces.
In 1924. she reduced the idea to practice.
In the latter part OF September of that
year, she wove seven pairs of seamIe SIS
pillow cases, and for them received pre-
MUM at the Fair at PaWlucket in Octo
Der of that year.
Her mode of weaving seamless bags
has since her discovery been engrafted on
the power loom and patented, and has
made the psteuLees rich. But Miss
johnson remained poor, and after her abIl
ity to work was gone. she was dependent
on charity and the stinted aims of the
town in which she lived, for subsistence.

wonderful weaver in the rooms Of the
Domestic Society OF Providence, by the
