Aledo Democrat.

Isaac Artz. the Aledo prophet, who
predicts that the world will come to an
end In 1898, decided to enjoy time while
it lasts. and accompanied by Mrs. Ram
sey, better known as Josie N. Colemen,
went to Burlington Wednesday night,
where they we're to be united in the Tho.
ly bonds" Thursday night.
Artz had served q reasonable time az
widower, but his wife puts On the bridal
robe after having been encountered only
three weeks with widows weeds. She
was married April 18th last. her husband
dying May 9th. and now, May 30th, she
10 bride again.
With the respect that is due the prophet
and his prephesies, we can not hope for
the couple q long life Of happiness to-
Rether. but win wish that joy may be
with them till the end of time.

THE WISDOM OF THE MULE.
Evidence of tho Sagacity OF the Cotto
Plantation Animal

Evidence of tho sagacity Of the Cotton
Plantation Animal
Working animals, such as horses and mules,
are generally kept on cotton plantation in
large open pen In the center there is q
feed shed, containing a trough for corn and a
rafter for fodder overhead Stock is fed
only twice day, noon and night By sun
up on work days the pillow hands appear, each
to catch bis "critter," and the forty or fifty
mules at their sight move in utter confusion
around the shed, hiding behind one another
But how is 1t on Sundaysi There reigns then
an Arcadian peace in the pen Each mule is
paired of with his ''chum" IA selective ATTN
ity, no doubt In an angle of the rail fence,
head and tail together. The object is prac-
teal exemplification of the golden rule. To
enjoy an untroubled siesta, each head secures
immunity from the fly pest by close prox-
unity TO his friends perpetual mobile. "
Farm hands may go in and out without pro
ducing the least sign of alarm But, should
brides appear, that disturbs only masters
saddle or carriage horses.
As to the mules, no extra twitch in tail or
ear shows the least suspicion that their owner
could possibly be the victim of a mistake;
with eyes dropping and head on level with
that of his neighbors tail, his somnolent tor
por is a picture of trust and safety. He
knows it Is Sunday. | remember well the
amused look of my foreman, Essex, when ask
ing him for his opinion ON the subject:
why, in course" said he, ...dey knows it's
Sunday"
Pertinent to the above query is the other;
Do animals know noontimei For the sake of
lively scene let us some forenoon go into a
| In fafd tIx,, laI
our reverie by an unearthly "Ee-hung, CO.
hung, ee-hung, hung, hung" 1t is the Mes
tor of the four-footers that calls thus; thine
for refreshmentsn-asi signal similarly seconded
and approved in succession by forty others.
We look at our timepiece and, sure enough,
the large hand is about covering the smaller.
1t is noon The mule, however, is some min
utes ahead of time, and there ensues fearful
contest for the mastery between him and the
driver, which the distant dinner horn only
ends
Now, how is it that the mule knows noon
timel Does he rely ON the infallibility of his
timepiece, that warns him that il needs re-
windingf Or has he noticed his equally hun
cry partner, Sambo, who on reaching the
end of the row, halts moment, and, turn
ing face northward, anxiously scans the
shadow at his feetl Or is the sensitiveness of
his back so delicate that he can discriminate
between oblique and vertical raysf
We are prone to mystify, and because we
are unwilling to grant brute creation the
power of reasoning, we call their actions that
surprise US instinct" In the barnyard,
stable and field we never observe this quail
ity Of instinct in the young. 1t is only the
old that become wise by experience. -Scien-
tifc American.

Bees and Pigeons,

An amusing experiment was recently made
in Westphalia to determine the relative speed
of flight Of bees and pigeons. The race course
through the air was three and half miles in
length. The bees were marked by covering
them with flour, which doubtless in q certain
measure retarded their flight, yet the first
bee arrived at the winning post twenty-five
seconds before the first pigeon, and three
other bees came in before the second bird ar
rived. The speed of flight is not stated, but
a. it is known that pigeons fly at the rate Of
fifty miles or more an hour, this seems to es-
tablish the fact that bees have a fight as
speedy as that of our swifter birds. -Boston

The usual treatment of catarrh is very
unsatisfactory, as thousands of despair
ing patients can testify. On this oint
a trustworthy medical writer saws:
Proper local treatment is positively nee
cessary to success. but many, if not most
of the remedies in general use by physi-
Glars afford but temporary benefit. A
cure cannot certainly be expected from

WITH our last weeks issue the
STANDARD ended its tenth year, and
turned the last leaf in the first decade
of its existence. For the last seven
years of the decade it has been under
its present management. We could
look back over the past years and
gather up good many pleasant re-
collections, as well as some not very
fertile in pleasing memories, but we
have little of either time or inclina-
ton to look to the past. The record
is made and we could not change it
if we would. We have done our best
to make the STANDARD a clean, hon
est, useful paper to its patrons, and
will not relax the effort for the future.
The paper shall take no step back
ward, and we shall expend every eff.
fort within our capacity to improve
it to the utmost limit that its patron.
age will justify. We have never
hoped to find gold mine in publish
ing the STANDARD, and so far have
not been disappointed in this respect
Very few men get to be millionaires
from publishing country newspapers.
We could count all of them we know
who have upon the fingers Of one
hand, and have a full hand left, But
it is pleasant to note also that few of
them ever find their way to the poor
house, except to hunt news, and
those who combine dilligent applica-
ton to business with sobriety and an
honest effort to succeed, generally en-
JOY about as many of the good things
of this life as the average citizen. The
poverty Of country editors is almost
a proverbial joke, but comparatively
few men who get well into the har-
ness ever leave the business.
