The Settin' Mule.

"Out in Kansas" said Uncle Jerry the other
day, There is a boy who taught his mule to
squat when he touched him on the flank with his
heels, and one day when he was riding beside an
Englshman, the mule suddenly sat down on it's
launches" whats the matter with him? !"
said the Englishman. "Why," said the boy, she's
setter, don't you see the rabbits out thereo !"
The Englishman was much astOnished,
They rode on and tle mule squatted again.
Whats he doing now?' said the Englishman.
