The Mule.


1t is commonly thought that &
mule is stupider creature than the
horse, but l have never found q per-
son who was well acquainted with
both animals who hesitated to place
the mongrel in the intellectual grade
above the pure blood animal. There
is, it is true, a decided difference in
the mental qualities of the two crea-
lures.
Tho mule is relatively undemon-
strativo, his emotions being suffi-
GENTLY expressed by an occasional
bray, a mode of utterance which he
has inherited from tho humber side
of his house in singularly un-
changed way. Even in the best hu-
NOR he appears sullen and lacks
those playful capers which give such
expression TO the well bred horse,
particularly in it's youthful state.
II is evident, however, that it dis
eliminates men and things more
clearly than does the horse. In GO
ing over difficult ground it studies
its surface and picks it's way so as TO
secure footing in an almost infalli.
BILE manner. Even when loaded with
q pack IL will consider the encum-
brancc and not 30 often try TO pass
where tho burden viii become en-
tangled with fixed objects. Profess

Japan Has Bought the Crack
ChiIian Cruiser.
By The Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Nov. Japan has aug
mented her navy by the purchase OF the
crack Chilian cruiser ksmeralda. The
deal was consummated here within the
last few days aud was managed with
great adroitness, Chill first selling the
snip to Ecuador, and the latter country
trans ferring her to Japan. To further
disguise the facts, report was
given currency that China had
bought the ship. This was TO avert sus-
picion until the cruiser was well out Of
danger of being apprehended on the high
seas. She is now on her way to japan
by. way OF Tahiti: The purchase
price was over 81 900, 600 in gold cash. The
sale by Chill violates no neutrality laws as
Chill has no treaty with China or Japan
and moreover her sale was 10 Ecuador,
who Is also without a treaty with either.
