tain anything better. engaged the Peo-
pies Market butcher cart and hitohed q
mule to it. The mule seemed to enjoy

the cart aud started of pretty lively for
the commencement of q 25.mile trip; so

the concern would bring up with an up
ending, but they got out of town oil

question.

| gineer Of the train. seeing Boss mouth
