A TIME OBSERVING MULE.
Won't Work on Sundays and Stops Whe,
the Whistle Blows.

WOn't Work on Sundays and Stops When
the Whistle Blows.
Name, a mule that draws cars at the
breaker of a L~ackawanna valley coal mine,
keeps closer track of the time than the
men. says a Scranton dispatch in the New
York Sun. A minute or 80 before the
ais tie blows at noon Name begins to bray
and paw and stamp, but does not refuse to
pull the cars. Ihe instan THE whistl e
sounds, however. Name comes to a dead
stop, and no matter IN what part of the
forced or coaxed to pull II pound
until after she has had her dinner.
Then she works as faithfully az an
OK until just before the whistle is going to
sound the quitting time blast, when she
brays again, but does not paw or stamp as
at noontime. She won't stir a peg after
the first toot of tins steam whistle. and the
driver boy knows better than to Try to-
make her haul the trip Of cars by whipping
her. Ihe mule keeps such a close track Of
the time that she has not failed in two
years to bray u minute or two before the
whistle blew at noon and night. She never
brays, the workmen say, except when she
thinks il ia nearly time to quit work for
her dinner or supper.
Name also knows when Sunday comes,
as the workrnen ascettalned three times
last year. 1t became necessary one Sunday
last April to do a little extra work in the
yard, aud the III Ile was hltched to a trip OF
cars In the motninR. she wouldn't take u
step, and they had to put her In the barn.
On Monday morning Name went to pull
ing the cars as usual, and she didn't finch
a particle in her iabors. They tried hcl
again on a Sunday morning in June, bot
she wouldn't even strengthen the traces
She worked all right the next day. On 1
July Sunday the men Litched her TO a triy
again, but she couldr't be conxed to pull nj
ounce, and they came to the conclusion
that Name was Il strict SabbatariAn Since
then they haven't attempted to make th'
mule work on Sunday
II knew Name befo we bought her.
said the foreman, "and ! told the boy nevs
to hitch her to more than three cars. On
day he hitched her to four, and she wen
ahead all right until she heard the thirC
link click. She had been used to hearin,
only two links click, and she came to
dead stop the moment she heacd the thirC
CLICK, and she wouldn't bulge an inch til
the boy unlocked the hind car. Then sh
went right along rs though she WAS salts
fed.
Name is always in as big a hurry 10 &c
TO work III the morning ou every week da
as she Is to stop when the whistle blows. ]
the boy doesn't go TO her stall by the tim,
Tire machinery has been started in th
breaker. Name bites the manager and kick
against the side OF the stall as though sh
was determined to make him come AN,

ever the breaker is idle at other times
Name makes no fuss in her stall if the bo
doesn't go IN TO hitch her up"

A BANKERS OPINION.
An Argument In Favor of State Inspec
tion of Banks.

An Argument In Favor of State Inspec-
tion of Banks.
Gordon Jones, of Lathrop, read an
interesting paper at the Excelsior
Springs meeting Of the Missouri Bank
ers' association.
II was entitled State Bank Inspection" and
Mr. Jones urged that all banking institutions
should be placed under a state comptroller and
each hank subjected to a critical examination
OF . state examiner at least once year. In
such cases the entire business Of the concern
should be made public In the minutest detail.
He said laws should be made providing that
hank oficizls and stockholders could not be
permitted to borrow heavily from their own
banks. thereby conflning their operation or at
lenst hoping to confne their business strictly
TO legitimate banking.
This paper led to an extended discussion Of
the question and resulted I'm the appointments
Of . committee to draft suitable bill for state
inspection to be presented at the next session
and then TO be referred to the legislative COM
mittee who will be expected to present it to this
state assembly
The bank robbers and defense fund
came in for a share of the discussion.
and an appropriation Of $500 was.madc
to be used in offering rewards for hank
robbers
It is a notable fact that there are but
few lady bankers, at least only one be-
longing to the Bankers association.
and she was present in the person of
Miss Kate NJ. Cox, cashier of the Cald-
well County bank of Kingston. The
bankers were not only proud of her as
a member, but had her booked for a
paper. The paper was entitled Ladies'
as Bank Cashiers. It was certainly q
very creditable one.
