opinion of the telephone. He said recently:
1--WE tried thetelephone 10, 1000 times and never
kHSH IL W WOTk right IL WduI W SSLu u
message believe in putting man on horse"
If the General could try the line between Tow
sentown and Baltimore hed have still worse
opinion of the telephone. It's worse than ag-
gravating to have dozen or more people try
ing to talk over one wire at the same time.
1.-THE question of making the TOwson

is still perfectly clear. He has been married
twice and thirteen children were the result of
each union. Only two of the children by the
first marriage are living one of them son 70

Some time ago THE UNION made mention
of the fact that Mr.. VIM. A. Lee. of Towson-
town, had mule with such an immense lump
on one of its front legs that he could not decide
cence. He bought the mule from Mr.. Harry
Booth for SIS and afterwards sold him to Mr..
Alfred Phipps for about $3.50. The last named
owner determined on a surgical operation and
he accordingly removed the tumor and to-day
the mule is as fresh as daisy and worth s75.
There is truth in the old saying that you can't
kill mule.
