Remarks on the Mule.

The mule is u vertcbrayte. He has
four legs, the rear ones being steam
boiler explosions in disguise. He has
also pair Of lungs larger than an emf
grants valise, and he can execute the
most fatal l0ve-taps Of any animate
creature in all creation and part Of New
Joseph. The idea of nitro 0-glycerine
was taken from the kick Of the mule.
More profanity has been expressed upon
him than would, If jutliciOllsly dist ril,-
uted, stock up all the theological semi
naries in the land. The mule Is ex-
tremely musical, and, like all grand
musical instruments, is composed most
" OF stops; as st0ppist he is success.
In this respect he Is like the day labor
er. Neither can 60 a. fast AZ an express
train or false runlor, hut they can
stop 137 degrees quicker by actual
count.
