THE CALM AND CANNY MULE.
Entitled to Credit for More Sense Than
His Half-Brother, the Horse.

Entitled to Credit for More Sense Than
His Half-Brother. the Horse.
"Horse sense" has become a byword
for a certain practical sort of intelli-
gence, but according to Prof. N. S.
Shaler, "mule sense" would be more
appropriate one. He says that mule,
as is well known to all people familiar
with the animal, has good deal more
sense than horse.
He says that the mule is much the
less demonstrative. Even in the best
humor he appears sullen, and lacks
those playful capers which give such
expression to the well-bred horse, par
ticularly in its youthful state. 1t is
evident, however, that it discriminates
men and things more clearly than does
the horse.
In going over difficult ground it stud
les its surface and picks its way so as
to secure footing in an almost infalli-
BILE manner. Even when loaded with a
pack it will consider the incumbrance,
and not SO often try to pass where the
burden will become entangled with
fixed objects.

Tho Heartles. Monster.

There is nothing like the heartless-
ness of man. There is pretty little
bride in Washington who is just COM
ing to know that. She fell out with
her newly-acquired husband the other
day. forget quite what it was about,
but it seems to me he had said things
about a new gown Of hers. At any
rate, life was no longer worth living.
She shut herself in her room and cried
till her head ached. Then she bathed
her eyes. brushed fluff of powder over
her red and swollen nose, and called
icily to her husband. Erred, I" she said,
bring me spoon. please; I'm going
to take poison" ''Yes, dear" an
swered the heartless monster from be
low; ''do you want a teaspoon or table
spoon?"

FROM THE LIARS CLUB.
Three Indigestible Yarns Told by Its Most
veracious Members.

In a Virginia forest the other day,
says the New York Recorder, very
large tree was cut down, near the heart
of which was found a lock O.; hair, or
rather two, intertwined of darker and
lighter meshes. By carefully splitting
the wood the initials II. S." and "P.
P" were discovered, family legible, in
what must have been the bark several
hundred years ago. By carefully
counting the rings which covered the
initials they were found to support the
theory that the mystic letters stand for
I-o-h-n, or "John Smith" and 'Poca-
hontas Howhatan," whose locks of hair
had been in some romantic mood in
trusted to the keeping of the cleft
bark.
Not content with slaughtering wild
ducks in the usual method, Henry
Jones, of Currituck, procured Gatling
gun and loaded the cartridges with
bird shot. Concealing himself, he
waited until large flock approached
him at great speed with favoring
wind. When they had nearly reached
him he opened fire. The destruction
was terrible, but such was the impetus
of the birds and the force of the wind
that almost the entire flock which he
had slaughtered Topped dying upon his
hiding place, and beneath their man.
gled bodies Jones perished miserably
by retributive suffocation.
A lady in Thomaston, Me-, has cat
Fanny-which had kittens, as cats SO
named frequently do. Hearing her
mistress remark that the kittens must
all be drowned Fanny removed them
one day to safe hiding place. After
a day or two she brought them back to
the mistress with air of triumph. II
was then seen that she had with teeth
and claws torn to pieces an old canvas
and cork life-preserver and had fastened
a piece of cork around each kitten:
neck. Moved to pity by the sight, the
mistress said: "Fanny, not one Of YOU
kittens shall ever be hurt" At thi:

Roeeep HIS FISH LINE.
Wolf That Successfully Played Thief
for q Week.


for q Week.
Down at Pretty Lake, Ind, old
Charley Cook used to be great fish
erman. People all over the country
used to know he could catch fish
whether there were any or not. He
had place along the bank of the lake
which he looked upon as his own, apd
which was seldom trespassed upon by
neighbors. And there he had built
staging out into the lake and set his
lines. from the end of it. Every morn
ing he used to come down and take the
fish that had been caught in the night.
One time, says the Chicago Herald,
he came down there and found the
line in the water, but the hook was, as
he afterward expressed it, 'as naked as
birds foot" That night he baited
the hook again and set it, and in the
morning he found it empty again.
That sort of thing went on for week.
There were no tracks in the soft sand
and he did not know whom to suspect.
He took fish-line and stretched it
about the entrance to his staging and
attached the end of it to a string of
sleigh bells, SO that the trespasser,
whoever he might be, would ring an
announcement of his felony.
But the fish were gone from the hook
in the morning, and the line about the
entrance of the staging was just as he
had left it. Mr.. Cook was.in good
deal of trouble. But he was persist
ent man, and SO he fixed up a shelter
and laid out there one night and
watched with his shotgun in his hand.
About midnight he heard a noise at
the farther end of the staging, a
splashing in the water and a low
growl. He could not understand it,
because he had been watching closely
and no man had passed. But he came
closer and saw small animal out there
above the deep water, and it was strug-
Cling with fish. Mr.. Cook put his
gun to his shoulder and fired, and a
small gray wolf leaped into the water
and swan to the shore, where he took
another shot and finished it.
That wolf had been robbing his fish
line every night for a week.

The Protestant Ministers association
of Milwaukee will appear before the
coming Wisconsin Legislature with a
bill to tax all church property. This is
the true principle. Possibly, it would
be well to exempt church edifices to the
extent of one or two thousand dollars in
value, 80 as not to burden weak organ
izations. But there are millions OF taxes
lost in this country by the exemption Of
churches which are more able to pay
than the poor man with his scanty
home and barren acres. The exemption
of church property has been carried 70
such an extreme a. to amount to an un-
fair shifting of tax burdens.
