IF Burdette Were q Mule.


No wonder the mule is q kicker.
Were I mule, love, I, too, would kick.
Every time / got chance l would lift
somebody higher than a kite. know
just exactly what kind of q mule would
be. A baby mule. One of these sad
eyed old fellows that lean back in the
breeding and think. With striped legs
like zebra. And dark brown streak
down my back, and a paint brush tail
And my name cut short, and my foretop
banged, and head as long as aoul
barrel and I'd be worth two hundred
and half in any market, and I'D wear
q fiat harness and no binders, and some
day, when some man hitched me up to
q dray, and piled on ton and a half Of
pig iron, a cord of wood, six barrels Of
flour, good load of household goodA
and steamboat boiler. Iwould start
off with it patiently and haul it steadily
until got to the top of the grade on the
new road around North Hill, and right
about there and then falling maple
leaf, futtering down in spark of gold
and crimson, would scare me all but to
death, and the authorities would have
to drag the Mississippi river six weeks
to find all of that load and some Of that
driver, while in three minutes after the
emeute I would be TRANQUILITY browsing
on the grassy heights that smile above
the silver flowing river. That is the
kind Of mule would be.-HasCkeye.

Peaceful Rivalry on the Pacific Coast
In his speech ct the civic banquet
rendered him in Victoria, the Marquis
of Lorne, Governor General of Canada,
said: pride In national feeling has
made the country strain every nerve to

is to the effect that annexation must

Not The Same Sullivan.

Not The Same Sullivan.
A New York letter to the Detroit Free
Press says: Alexander NJ. Sullivan, the
Irish journalist and member of Parlia-
ment, departed homeward few days
ago. He returned from New Orleans
last week. A pretty fair story is told
about his advent there. Having 8 good
many friends in the Crescent City, prep.
arations were made to give him q pub
lie reception. Pretty much everyone,
including the street boys. got hold Of
his name. It was Sullivan here, there
and everywhere. He is small man,
standing about five feet six, weighing
probably $50 pounds, and in delicate
health. The boys got q notion, some-
how, that he was another Sullivan,
whose fame is Of different kind. A
crowd gathered in front Of tho house in
which be was guest. He was tired
out and did not show himself. Pretty
soon the boys began to call:
Sullivan Sullivan: hi, Sullivan!''
When that had been going on some
time friend appeared at q window
and said the gentleman was fatigued.
and wished to be excused. He had
hardly retired when the cry went up
again:
Sullivan, Sullivan! Come out sulli-
vanr' 81
The friend came to the window again,
and said Mr.. Sullivan really could not
appear. He was shut off with:

want to see Sullivanr'
well, said the friend, ''there he is:

A Mexican Father.

An incident illustrating Mexican
character is related by an exchange. II
appears that Senator of one Of the
Mexican States, successful stock
raiser, in the prime Of life, sold his sheen
and gambled away the proceeds Of the
sale before he returned to his home. and
in addition gambled himself into debt
to the amount of $20, 900. Like dutf-
ful son he confessed his guilt to his old
father. who promptly gave him sound
thrashing and afterward went to the
town and paid the go, 900 obligation.

About Love.

Mr.. Factandfancy has noticed;
That the boy who is most afraid OF the
girls is the first to be corralled into
matrimony.
That the little boys prefer boys to
girls.
That they soon change, never to so
back to their early love.
That the little girls love the girls best.
That they don't get over their prefer
ence as soon as boys do-some of them
never.
That the women love the men because
they love everything they have to take
care of.
That the men love the women because
they can't help it.
That the wife loves her husband so
well that she has no thoughts for other
men.
That the husband so loves his wife
that he loves all other women for her
sake.
That the married man is apt to think
himself all-killing among the fair sex
simply because he has found one women
fool enough to marry him.
That homely husbands are best. They
never forget the compliment paid them
by their wives in accepting them.
That homely wives are the truest.
They know how to make the most OF
what they have.
That the man who marries late in life
does well.
That the man who marries young does
better.
That the man who never marries is to
be pitied.
That the woman who marries does
we'll.
That the woman who does not marry
does better nine times out of ten.

Railroad Fare to the Stars.

The idea of distance is often best con-
veyed by some every y-day illustration.
When Horace wrote Sic itur ad astra,- =
thus it is travelled to the stars-he was
not thinking of railroads. But they are
familiar enough to us.
In lecture by William Higgins, the
eminent English astronomer, as to the
results of spectrum analysis as applied
to the heavenly bodies, this striking
statement was used to give some faint
notion of the enormous distance of the
stars.
s'The earth's orbit, J" said the lecturer,
(which is more than one hundred and
ninety million of miles in diameter, at
most of the stars dwindles at mere
point, and has no sensible size whatever.
"If you suppose railroad from the
earth to the nearest fixed star, which is
supposed to be twenty billions of miles
from us, and if you suppose the price of
the fare to be one penny for every hun
dred miles-not, mind, penny per mile
then, if you take mass of gold to the
ticket Office equal to the national debt,
three billion, eight hundred million
dollars) it would not be sufficient to pay
for ticket to the nearest fixed star.
sand think | should not be wrong
in saying that there are stars so far off
that at the price of one penny for every
hundred miles, the whole treasure of the
earth would not be sufficient to pay for
Q ticket"

Denver.

Sam I. Davis, now in Denver, writes
to q friend in Virginia City concerning
that lively city Of 10000 inhabitants:
s'There are three live cities in America
New York, Chicago and Denver. This
is what the commercial drummer says,
and he ought to know. Everything is
on q magnificent scale. Its big depot
cost a million, and it is to be enlarged
and park attached. The Opera House
cost one and quarter millions, and it is
: magnificent piece of architecture of
Egyptian and Moorish type, lavishly
decorated; admission 81. 80, reserved seats
y, and packed nightly. The city has
seven daily newspapers and a lot of
literary weeklies. 1t is treat to walk
shout Denver. 1t is maze of elegant
houses, cnt stone buildings, tessellated
pavements, four-i hand drags, polished
marble, mining millionaires, newsboys,
bootblacks, women of the scarlet hue,
and iive-cent beer gardens with orches-
tral accompaniment. The police are
all uniformed in n'blue and gold, and are
mostly examining superintendents of
Nevada and Comstock experts striking
their regular level.
