Last evening mule, attachedto street
car on Vance street turned a somersault
and the car passed over him. pitching
the unsuspecting passengers into an mex
trieable heap in the forward part of the
car. The mule lay underneath the car,
and had snapped ends in the most
strange manner, his head projecting
from beneath the rear end of the vehicle.
The passengers aided the driver in roll
ing the car from the body of the poor
brute, and the animal arose to his feet
unhurt. The driver was not to blame,
the mule being like Don ouixotte's war
steed-high in bone, but low in flesh.

that is necessary is to visit the stove

these troops arrived at their destinations
there was no Ku-Kicx, nor anything Of the
sort. They onlyfound peaceful country vii.

get tired OF drilling and must have recrea-
