GEORGE WASHlNGTON'S MULE,
The Traditional Bull in the China Shop Finds
a Local Emulat0r.

tie, but the George Washington hereinafter
dealt with is colored citizen, who is tie
proud possessor of a mule, Georges mule like
others Of his kind likes pretty well to have his
own way, and does pretty much as he pleases
Yesterday, on West Washington street the mule
tired of his usual task of drawing George and
his ash wagon, deliberately, and in spite of
all his illustrious owners efforts to prevent it,
walked across the sidewalk and into
Sarah Bernstein's secondhand store, and
proceeded to take possession. Like the
traditional bull in the china-shop, he played
havoc with the wares on Mrs. Bernstein's shelves
and broke number Of articles either by kick
ing or drawing the wagon over them. The whole
Bernstein family, which is exceedingly numer-
Gus, argued in vain with the mule to persuade
him to desist; but he took his own time to his
work, and left after accomplishing his hellish
designs. Then the Bernstein family fastened
on to George, and were going to hold him until
reimbursed for the damages wrought by his
mule, but patrolman, who shortly afterward
appeared, induced them to release him. Later
Mrs. Bernstein went before a Justice Of the
peace and swore out warrant for Georges
arrest, aud the entire constabuary are
searching for him-and the mule

A FRISKY HEIFER
The Lively Chase She Led Drover on Her
Way to the Slaughter.

A hog is proverb Of obstinacy. A sheep is
proverbially whimsical, and drove is suppose
to combine in a wild total of unmanageable
freaks the whims of several scores But ali the
obstinacy of the most obdurate hog multiplied
by the whims of big flock of sheep, would not
equal the righteousness of a young heifer on her
way to tho abattoir. Somehow u sort of pre-
sentiment gets into her Inner consciousness
that she is not going to the sort of destination
that she would choose if she had a chance to
choose, and she leads the drover of her
herd wild dance whenever she sees
an opening in an alley or in
a dilapdated fence through which she can make
break for moments freedom and the chance
for a longer life. flock of sheep will follow
the leader if he jumps bridge railing into a
creek, but they must all so together. A hog
will stop and grunt under the ticks of half dozen
whips, and let the drove go on, but he won't run
far. A fanciful young cow, though just out of a
bucolic Vassar, as it were, will start alone and
play more tricks and make more capricious
doubles" starts and stoppages than any other
embodiment Of female whimsicality ever known.
fine young heifer going up Kentucky
avenue from the stock yards to the
"abattolr,' and twice before she passed the long
line OF the ''Nordyke works" she started east at
a tangent and ran into handy alley that Nick
McCarty had left open for the settlers the
lots Of the old Bayou fartn' and stuck there
till herdsman dismounted and went around to
her head to pull her out by the horns. After
she reached the open ground north of Morris
street she raced up to the bayou and over the
river levee, and down to the wheat-ield below
the abattoir, doubling as successfully as a
hunted rabbit and putting horses in ''lather Of
sweat and riders in a cloud of profanity, and at
last tore across the bridge with as obvious a
smoker her maiden face as ever q cow
wore She couldn't be headed on the
bridge, and east of it she ran down
the roadway embankment into the hemp
sown bottoms" aud plunged along to the
steep bluff bank on the cast, full fifteen feet
high, sloping at the bottom with earth and
gravel that had slipped down, and standing as
sheer as wall for six or eight feet at the top Of
the slope Up the incline she went at a
lope, and thought to jump to the level sur
face above, where she would have had an easy
scamper to the creek or the street near it, But
the perpendicular wall was too high She
raised herself against it, her fore feet just at the
surface. when her hind hoofs slipped in the
loose slope below, and over she fell
on her side, and rolled clear over once
before she struck bottom among the
hemp and rag weeds. That catasrope took the
conceit out Of her. She stood for minute with
her head and tail dropped, in evident reflection,
possibly repentance and when the drover rode
up with his big whip she turned and cantered
gently back to the road to have her throat cut
and her meat cooked the next day.
