THE MAGISTRATES MULE.
His Honor Thought He Had a Bargain,
but 1t Did Not Pan Out Well.


Wilma rough frontiersman of the
genus cowboy-is the perpetrator of joke
upon a certain erudite justice of the peace,
ard the tale will bear repeating His home
Is in the quiet town of Richfield, and when
he visits the settlement he celebrates by
painting the town flaming cardinal On
one of these occasions he took a hand at
some simple game played with five cards,
of which the first is buried. | think they
call it stud" Something about the game
was forbidden, and, under the kind super
vision of the marshal, VIM, with five COM
panions, found himself before the bar Of
| justice.
Denials and defense were useless. JUS
tice Orrick solemnly perused the statutes
and fined each offender $3.50 VIM found
that he had but ten dollars, and this he
offered to the magistrate, but no compro-
mise could be effected with the city treas
ury. It IVES $3.50 or twelve and one-half
| days in durance vile. Finally happy
thought struck the young man.
Say, judge, I'll give you bill of sale of
my mule, and if / don't bring you the
| money within five days I'll bring the crit
ter and it's yours"
Now an average mule is worth forty dol
bargain; so did VIM, although he never
cracked a smile until the bill was drawn
up, signed and delivered, then something
in his countenance warned the grave Or
rick OF impending trouble.
.sWiun. how old is that ar mewl?"
"Old enough TO vote, judge, old enough
TO vote" and the door was closed from the
outside.
Now, Richfeld justice cannot be lightly
treated. Straightwsy the justice hied him
! to the constable and together they visited
/ Winn's home.
well, VIM, have warrant for you"
"What fers"
1.-THE judge says as you amt settled that
fine"
"Ain't settled that fne' You try and
make me settle it agin and it'll cost you
| three or four mules"
"How's thst?"
"Well, give the judge bill OF sale for
my mule and he let me 60"
rs that so, Brother Orrick?"
The judge, after much hesitation, con-
fesSed that such was the case.
well, then, you can't do nothing more
with VIM"
But, VIM, you'll let me see the mewl?"
Cert Come along"
Out 10 the old corral they went and there
upon the ground lay the ungainly hybrid,
patriarch of all the mules in Utah. VIM
kicked it and it slowly rose and tottered 20
| its feet.
Look out, gentlemen, 1t may fall on you.
/ and can't be responsible for accident"
Now, Winn," whined the bafiled Or
rick, Il meant TO do the right thing by you,
bat l guess l stretched the law leetle.
The Law won't let me take anything that
Will est or run away"
You're all right. judge. You're all
right That mule can't do neither one"
Five days later there was a procession
through the main street of Rich6eld. VIM

a Poor WAY to Amnse.

women are such amusing creatures, +"
said man, and the following is recorded
in order that such women who read it may
cease to amuse in this particular, If they
have been doing so: Il watch them daily
on the elevated and surface cars. They
have learned that it Is the proper thing TO
remain seated until the vehicle they are
about 20 leave is still So they attempt it,
and manage TO keep on the ragged edge till
almost the critical moment, when nine
times out of ten, or nineteen times out OF
twenty is nearer the average, their inpa-
thence overcomes them, and they start up
to catch the full force Of the reaction in q
posture which renders them totally help
less. / have seen women in this half high
attitude thrown violently across the car,
falling almost full length on the opposite
seats The practice Is dangerous, and the
spectacle is not pretty. New YORK Times.

of bread. two and half pounds of beef,
veal or mutton. or one and three-quarter
pounds salt pork about twice a week in the

worth OF sauce (vegetables)- For supper
for four. two quarts Of milk and one loaf
of bread, when milk can conveniently be
had. and when il cannot, then spple pie,
which shall be made Of one and three
fourths pounds dough, one-quarter pound
hogs fat, two ounces OF sugar aud half
peck OF apples"

A FATAL BULL FIGHT.
Frizhtful Experience of q Farm Hand
With the Beast.

From the Pittsb,vg Dispatch.
CORTLAND, N. Y, July 27.-George
7rieze, farm hand, died early this morn
ng from injuries received in an unequal
fight with an infatuated bull. Frleze
worked on George Petrie'S farm, two miles
south of here. Ia the herd of cattle on the
place was a bull that had made several at
,emDts to attack Frieze. Whenever the
laborer went into the lot where the bull
was he always carried a three-pronged
pitchfork for safety's sake.
On Sunday morning FrieZe entered the
pasture to do the milking. He had just sat
down on the milking stool, when he heard
the believing of the bull and saw the AMI
nal charging down on him. He quickly
Sprang to his feet and, knowing that he
could not reach place of safety in time,
seized his pitchfork. The bull rushed on
with his nose almost touching the ground
aud his tail erect. Just as he reached
frleze the latter sprang to one side and
lao6ed the pitohfork into the side of the
maddened brute. Believing with pain and
rage be turned and once more charged on
the farm hand. Again the prongs of the
Iork were driven into his side.
Frenzied, 1ecked with foam and bleeding
from his wounds he again turned end made
rush for Frieze. The move was so sudden
That the laborer could not dodge the beast
Inc pttchfork struck the animal square in
toe forehead. The force of the charge
Knocked Frieze to the ground. The bull
uampled on him but the man kept his hold
% the fork. The bull saw that his victim
was down and rushed at him, aud as the
lork again stuck in his nose he turned it
aside. Catching Frieze on his horns he
tossed him in the air. The bull met him as
ue came down and again tossed him, catch
ing him on his horns as he fell.
q. henry Brockman, who was some distance
Iu, heard the cries of the man and the bel
lowing of the bull. He fastened TO the pas
sure and arrived in time to see the bull
paving at the form of the laborer, who was
I IlSEIohsclous. As Brockman approached the
pi picked Freize up on his horns and
hurled him ten feet over a three-rail fence

An exchange argues that good may come from the New Orleaus affair as il says that Secretary Blaine will take ad- vantage of the present trouble with Italy and press the demand of this coun try for two criminals who were concerned in a murder near Wilkesbaue, Penn, ip 1888 but who escaped with Sso.ooc they secured. The government has been unable, so far, to secure the mur- derers. In addition to the above. which
 would be but a trife, compared to
 what may result from this affair, the
 fact that immigration laws need impor-
 tant changes has been forcibly impressed
 on the entire country, and congress
 should takeatage advn of 1t at the earli-
 est possible moment to modify them SO
 as exclude all classes of immigrants with
 Mafia tendencies. There are other
 classes of immigrants. besides that which was the cause of the New Orleans
 trouble. which are equally objectionable. Congress should amend the immigra- ton laws so as to exclude all undesirable elements from landing on our shores.
