Il MULES EARS.

United States Consul Aynie, of Yucca.
tan, relates the following:
Travelling in Yucatan is attended With
some difficulties, owing to the heat Of
the day and the bad state of the roads.
To avoid the heat all long journeys aee
performed at night; to mitigate the
roughness of the road peculiar style g!
vehicle is employed called volan. Ills
is conveyance altogether peculiar to
Yucatan, not found anywhere else. I.
might be called a modified volante-iu
common use in Cuba-only, instead OF
sitting up in it, you lie down. 1t has
two large wheels, and the body of the
concern is placed directly over the axle,
suspended upon high, very elastic
springs. The shafts are very long, and
a framework projects behind, upon
which trunks may be secured, and from
which the body of the vehicle is sus-
pended at that end. It has a covered
canvas top, with curtains and bottom
of interlaced rope. Upon this springy
support is placed mattress. 1t is al
ways drawn by three mules-one in the
shafts and one on either e-harnessed
In by such combination of leather and
rope that no stranger could by any pos
sibility disentangle them. These mules
are generally very small, but make up
for this by generous length of ears,
which are carried along their backs.
Speaking of ears, friend of mine
travelling here told me that he once had
a mule with very fine ears, SO long that
they met behind his back. They were
continually in his way, as the mule
couldn't help Tapping them, and ire
quently knocked my friend who is a
very staid and truthful man-off his sad

die. Though very humane man, as
well as veracious, he couldn't stand this
sort of thing every day, SO what did he
do? Well, he thought over it while,
and then hit upon plan. He inoeulat-
ed one of the mules ears with a wart
and then by cutting slit in the other
he had natural button and button-hole,
by means of which he buttoned the ears
together under his mules tail. This
was pleasant for while-for my friend
but he soon saw his mistake. That
wart kept growing, and he had to extend
the button-hole to keep pace with it IN
til those ears were hardly anything else
but wart and button-hole.
Another uncomfortable thing about it
was that, when the mule wanted to wag-
gle his ears-for mule is so constitute!
that he must wag certain number &:
times day or die-he had to dismount.
tie the animal to tree and pry the ears
apart with button hook. I asked hin.
how much the ears measured, and lie
said he didn't know, but the mule hal
caused him to measure his length -

HASTY JUDGMENT.

Nothing is more unjust than to Judge
of a man by too short an acquaintance,
and too slight inspection; for it often
happens that in the loose and thought,
less and dissipated there is a secret radi-
cal worth, which may shoot out by
proper cultivation that the spark of
heaven, though dimmed and INSTRUCTED,
is yet not extinguished, but may, by the
breath Of counsel and exhortation. be
kindled into flame. To imagine that
every one who is not completely good is
irevocably abandoned, is to suppose
that all are capable of the same degree
of excellence. 1t is, indeed, to exact
from all that perfection which none can
ever attain. And, since the purest viz.
tue is consistent with some vice, and the
virtue of the greatest number with al
most an equal proportion of contrary
qualities, let none too hastily conclude
that all goodness is lost, though it may
for time be clouded and overwhelmed.
for most minds are the slaves of external
circumstances and conform to any hand
that undertakes to mold them, roll down
any torrent of custom in which they
happen to be caught, or bend to any
importantly that bears hard against
them. -SGnaalel johnson.

ABUSE OF PUBLIC MEN.

The people of free countries ought to
be particularly considerate of the repu-
tation Of public men who are faithful to
their trusts. Such men are the peoples
servants, whom they have chosen, and
who are doing their work. If these men
so astray or prove incompetent, the dis
honor rests upon those who chose them,
and it is certain that the PEOPLE must
defray the cost of their misdeeds.
In private life man is not respected
who abuses his clerks, and has 10 regard
for their regulations or their characters.
We say that he is a scurvy fellow; that
he lacks some Of the qualities that are
esseAtial in a good business man. We
are not surprised when his clerks prove
Unfaithful, Or he proves unsuccessful,
through poor judgment in his business
undertakings.
The same principle, in q degree, APP
Plies to public men. We who selected
them, who pay them, who are RESPONSE
bic for them, are bound to give them the
fairest chance to do well. We are fool
ish if we 60 not. We are like man who
should pay large sum for horse, and
then give him unhealthy food, or lame
his fore feet.
Next to the man who ill-treats a wom-
an, we despIse the American citizen who
treats public man with personal dis
respect, for mere party reasons. Why
do we so universally abhor a man who
abuses a woman ? Because a nan is
physically stronger than woman, and,
ordinarily, she cannot defend herself.
No more can President, or Cabinet
Minister, or most public officials. Ell
quette commonly closes their mouths
against the most brutal calumny. They
stand as public targets, open to the shot
of every passer-by who has malice in his
heart.
Mind, we are now speaking of per-
sonal abuse only. Let there be the
1TduhGSI duu SGIOuSc5U ClltlC1Su VI puU-
lie men as public men. If their meas.
ures are unwise or ill-timed, let the fact
be stated with all needful emphasis and
iteration. If there is good reason fol
thinking them corrupt their conduct
should be probed and investigated. But
while public man is apparently trying
conscientiously to do his duty every good
citizen should regard an abusive person
al attack upon him as an offense against
himself.
Upon this point we will relate two
small anecdotes. We noticed while
ago upon friends table, in distant
city, copy of the weekly edition of the
London Times. Seeing our look of Gu
riosity, he said:
eyes, I take the Times. I prefer tc

til 1912.

A young fellow riding down a steep
hill, doubling if the foot of it was bog
gish, called out to a clown that was
ditching and asked if it was hard at the
bottom.
"Aye," answered the countryman,
''it is hard enough at the bottom, I
warrant you.
But in half a dozen steps the horse
sank up to the saddle-girths, which
made the young gallant whip and spur
and utter oaths.
"You rascal" said he to the ditcher,
"didst thousnot tell me that it was hard
at the bottom ?"

are not half way to the bottom yet"

YOUNG VOICES.

There is charm, an inspiration, in
the blending of young voices in sacred
song which nothing else can impart We
owe it to our children, to ourselves and
to the dignity of worship, that an ele-
ment SO thrilling, SO effective, should
not be lost to the church for want of
training.
The teaching of music in the schools
in great measure prepares for partici-
patton in the church and Sunday-school
services. Perhaps the most forcible OBJ
lection to that form of worship in which
the people participate is that the
American people are not trained to sing.
Let vocal music be taught, in its in
tegrity, in the public schools, and our
choir and congregational singing must
become as grand and universal as now
in Holland and Germany, where music
forms an integral portion of education.
What is done in these countries, with
means far inferior to those at our com.
mand, may be done and better done
here, by a liberal and enlightened sys.
tenn of school instruction. -M1sical

CONVERSATIONAL DUE1rsTs

A complete record of the number of
Congressman who have been engaged in
duels has never been kept; but the num-
Der who have died in affairs of honor is
pretty well known.
Alexander Hamilton, Secretary of the
Treasury under Washington, leader OF
the Federalist party, and leading spirit
in the formation of the constitution,
was mortally wounded by Aaron Burr,
at Hoboken, July 3, 1904.
Richard Spaight, of North Carolina,
was the first to die in duel. He served
in the Continental Congress, and sat in
the convention which framed the consti-
tuition. He was killed by his successor
in Congress, John Stanley. The latter
was tried and sentenced to inprison-
ment. but was pardoned by Gov. Will
Jams, of North Carolina, in year. Stan
ley was subsequently elected to Con-
gress.
Thomas Z. Harris, of Tennessee, died
il 1916 from wounds received in duel
with Col. Simpson.
Spencer Pettis was killed in a duel
fought with Maj. Thomas Biddle, at st.
Louis. Aug. 26, 1881. The duel arose
out of a quarrel over the United States
Bank, the President of which, Nicholas
Biddle, was the brother of the chal-
lenger.
Armstead I. Mason, ex-senator from
Virginia, fell in a duel fought near
Washington city with John McCarty,

duel near New Orleans, March %, 1S43.
George Poindexter, Representative
from Mississippi, fought a duel with
Elijah Hunt, a merchant, about 1885,
and killed him.
BLOODLESS DUELS.
There have been many duels which
were bloodless. Among them the fol-
lowing are the most notable.
Those between Henry Clay and Hum
phrey Marshall, and between Clay and
John Randolph, Of Virginia
Samuel W. Inge, Representative from
Alabama. fought at Bladensburg with
Edward Stanley, of South Carolina, in
the Thirty-frst Congress, neither being
seriously injured.
John S. Jackson, of the Thirty-sev-
enth Congress, fought several duels, one
with Thomas F. Marshall-none result

Il DOWN-HILL FIGHT.
H0'c Itco Miners Rolled 500 Feet While
Engaged ia a Death Struggle.

Hoe TtcO Miners Rolled 500 Feet While
Engaged ia Death Struggle.
Tom Cox and jim Null were two m n
ers working far up on the bleak, snowy
slopes of Mount Ebert, in Colorado.
They slept in tent near the mouth Of
Golden Lode, in which they were work
ing all night, when they went into the
tent for the purpose of going to sleep.
One OF them got in bed, and, enveloping
himself with the blankets, was snug and
comfortable and drowsy in a moment.
The other, not in so great a hurry, no.
tlced that the melting snow was dripping
through the roof of the tent and right
where he had to sleep. He couldn't
stand wet couch, and, arousing his
companion, asked him to get up SO that
the bed might be moved to position
where the melted snow would not touch
it. His sleepy partner growled out re-
fusal. There was a hot reply, and in
less time than it takes to write it the two
men were engaged in fierce personal
encounter. They were both clad in their
night-shirts alone, and small tent is
but limited space for two angry men to
fight each other in. They had hardly
clinched before one carried the other
through the front flaps of the tent.
Right here it is necessary to say that
the tent was pitched on the fearful
II steep slope of Mount Ebert, and
there wasn't more than two feet Of level
ground between the front Of the tent
and the preclpitous slope Of the mount
ain. This slope was covered with four
feet of soft snow, and it extended down
for 1900 feet before there was a resting
place. In the fierce fight between the
two miners they were carried down the
dizzy slope, and, with their hands upon
each others Threats, they went whirling
down the mountain like patriot bowld-
ers. They had gone but a short dis
lance when anger vanished in the pres
ence Of a possible death, and each man
turned his attention to the paramount
work Of saving his life. Down they
went along the fearful slant Of the great
mountain, and at each revolution they
sunk IN the soft snow, sometimes head
first and sometimes feet first. They
were paralyzed with fright, and no
sound escaped their lips. The further
down they went the greater the momen-
tum of their bodies, and when about
500 feet from the point where they
started, they bounded in the air and
alighted in the snow so deep that they
stuck fast. After arduous efforts they
managed to extricate themselves and
get back to their tent, bruised and
bleeding, and their quarrel healed. No
matter what the future has in store for
these two men, they will never forget
the time when they were whirling down
the snowy slopes Of the continental divide
of North America, and snow drift saved
them from landing 1900 feet below in a
condition in which none but the Coroner
and the undertaken would feel any prac
heal interest in them. They have been
the best OF friends ever since their per-
ilous down-hill fight.
