We have a remarkable, very
re markable mule in our town

should it not be? See. Its frs.
owner drove it when going to
see very charming and popu-
lar young lady, and for a long
while, was thought to be all
right, but he wasn't, and come
out at the little end Ct the horn.
Then he sold the mule to the
young man. who cut him out,
but alas, he likewise Lad same
result. Having an inside view
OF things, he sold the mule to
his fortunate rival, and he too,
after using mule, found himself
coming out of the small end of
the horn. He now has this
mule offered for sale and is
specially anxious for his rival
to purchase him. We will re-
port later on the result.
