THE MULE.

THIS is mule. He feels sick. Do
not pet a mule because he feels sick, for
he may make you feel sick. The mules
tail is short and slim. He can not brush
off the flies with his tail. His ears are
large and long. He can brush flies off
his tail with his ears. With his ears he
can fan himself too. His fore legs are
quite short His hind legs are exceed
ingly long. Many nat u-ral lists have
tried to meas ure the length of mules
hind legs but have only succeed ed in
having their own legs measured. A
wise man has said 'there are some
things in nature past finding out" This
is one Of those things 1t Is safer to

than either. Dear chill dren, if your
pa-pas have lots of money, do not let
them buy any mules with hind legs on
to celebrate Fourth of July with, for
mules with hind legs on are apt to go
off suddenly, and remove your swee
young soul from. Life's pleasant scene

AS the Teacher is. So is the School.
The pupil naturally looks upon the
teacher as the model by which his moral
character is to be built just see how
easily the pupil falls into the habit of
initiating the manner, expressions and
general department of the teacher. We
can readily see the need in the teacher
of culnyating the moral virtues so es-
sential to the perfect teacher.
Not only in the school house, but also
wherever he goes the teacher should
carefully guard against doing anything
that would lower himself in the eyes of
his pupils.
If the teacher were to chew tobacco,
use profane language, or worse still,
drink intoxicating liquors, do you think
it would raise his standard Of excellence
i'll the estimation of his better pupils
and what effect would it have on those
pupils who have a natural tendency
toward vice and who only need the en-
enlargement IN that direction to become
the most depraved ?
Try to inculcate into the minds OF
your pupils the principles of morality,
punctuality, system and order but to
accomplish the necessary reform, you
must yourself practice what you
preach" A. T.

THE LATE NELSON C. DRAPER.

The Death of a Former Resident OF St Paul
in ChicG0O-An Epitonae OF his Career.
Chicago Times.
Nelson Draper, tea inspector of the port
of Chicago, died suddenly little before
midnight Wednesday night. But few
days before he was attending to his bust
ness apparently in the best of health, and
the intelligence of his sudden death will
be received with most the painful surprise.
Saturday afternoon he complained of feel
ing unvell but it was thought to be moth
ing more than slight ind1sposition. The
following day he was no better, and retir
cd early in the evening. During
the night he grew rapidly
worse until Monday morning his symp-
toms were 30 alarming that
the family hastily summoned Mr..
William Best, his life long friend.
The course of the disease became rapidly
aggravated, Inconsistencies ensued, and
Wednesday night, surrounded by his
stricken family, he peaceably breathed his
last. His malady was nephlitis, an affec
ton of the kidneys.
Mr.. Draper was born near st. Adams,
Vt, Sept. 5, 1886, and had just passed his
10Th birthday. At the age of twenty -one
he came west, locating in Chicago. After
two years. service as bookkeeper for a
commission firm on South Water street,
he removed to Minnesota, where he be-
came associated with Mr.. Ballard IN the
lumber business. Soon after he led to the
altar his partners sister, who, after an IN
usually happy weddedilife, is left a sor-
rowing widow. The business of the young
firm was favored with almost phenomenal
success, when in the spring of 1859, a
heavy freshet swept away their
entire winters product of hogs. So
prostrating was the disaster. that they
were compelled to abandon their business,
and then removed to Hastings. Mimi, to
embark in the general merchandise trade.
During his residence there Mr.. Draper was
elected to the state senate, serving his dis
trict in that capacity for two successive
terms. While a member of the legislature
he won distinction by his able and judi
cious course. He was ever regarded by
his colleagues as the very embodiment Of
integrity, and his honesty of purpose was
never impugned even by his most radical
political opponents. Public spirited to
an Almost immoderate degree, Mr.Draper's
time and energies were so assiduously de-
voted to the public veal that his own pri-
yate interests were neglected.
At the termination of his second term in
the senate, in 1868, the deceased closed out
his business and removed to Chicago, hav
ing received fattering offer from the
grocery house of Dana, Hyde & Co., of
Boston to represent their interests in the
west After several years of creditable
service he purchased an interest in and
became member of the firm of Lock
wood & Draper, and later he associated
himself with the house of Gould, Draper
& Co. Fortune smiled upon his business
ventures, and, at the time of his death, he
had accumulated comfortable fortune.
During his long business career, Mr..
Draper acquired thorough and extensive
knowledge of the tea traffic, and last July
he was honored by the appointment to the
tea inspectorship Of the port of Chicago.
