A PENITENT MULE AND ADRIvER

Nothing But q Clubbing Would Move
the stubborn Animal and He Got It.
An old rancher with q wagon load
Of potatoes was driving a gray mare
and o s0rrel mule along the road near
san Rafael the other day. when the
train came along. says the San Fran
cisco Post. The mule plunged and
kicked until he found he could not run
away. and then with the proverbial
uerversity Of his kind, planted his fore
fsetintO the ground and refused to
bulge. The old mare made two or three
attempts TO pull mule. wagon and load,
but gave It up and baked, too.
The old man tried c0aXing, petting
and leading. but the team could only
settle backin the harness in most de-
termined manner. Several happened
along and each had some advice 20 offer.

firmly. II don't believe in CRUELTY
He examined the collars but found
them all RIGHT. Then he tried to start
the team again. but without success, so
he set 90 work and took of the entire
load of potatoes, a sack az a time and
stacked them up beside the road. He
climbed on the seat. clucked 10 the
foam and touched the mule lightly with
his whip. The stubborn brute sat down.
Beat him 70 death, yelled a dis
gusted teanster.
NO. sir. [ don't believe in cruelty to

He wrapped the reins around the
brake. walked a quarter Of a mile to

swept every speck Of dust out OF the

AFTER GRAPES ARE GONE.
We Arc Told by Dr. AIcCIintock There's
No Danger in Eating Them.

We Arc Told by DR.. LcCIintock There's
No Danger in Eating Them.
DR.. ]. c. McCIintock, WHO'S an author
ity, says that the fear of grape seeds
getting into the vermiform appendix and
causing appendicitis is unfounded.
81 have operated on a great many cases
in the past fifteen years." said he, land
have never found single case caused by
a grape seed. OF course cases have been
known which trace their origin to the
grape but they are extremely rare.
"More than that there are very few
cases which are caused by foreign sub
stance of any kind. In all my exper-
fence l have found only two cases in
which the trouble was caused by a for
eign substance. One of these was a pea
nut and the other was a small wad of
slippery elm bark covered by calcareous
substance.
THE vermiform was once one of the
engagements called stomachs in the
lower animals and in the course of time
and in the progress of the animal it be-
came useless and reduced in sizs. As it
is not used it does not possess the power
of disposing of an Irritation and it may
eat through it at once and then there is
trouble"

IT'S A BAD BREAK
So Some Kansas Politicians Re-
gard Q. L. Miller's Action
In DEFEATING 4 KANSAS IAN.

Charley Martins Friends Gather Con-
siderable Comfort Out of the Situ-
alton,
Congressman o. L MiIler's vote which
defeated DR.. II. D. Fishers candidacy
for chaplain of the house has been the
principal subject of conversation among
the Republican politicians in town.
Congressman Miller's declaration that
he cast his vote against the combine as a
matter OF principle is laughed at by
most of the people who are familiar
with politics and know that the officers
of any organization are always selected
by combination of some sort.
There is little doubt that the candi-
dscy of Charley Martin for clerk had
something to do with Mr.. Milier's vote.
Mr.. Martin was in the Henderson combi-
nation which got left and his Kansas
enemies say he no doubt used his influ-
ence to down DR.. Fisher after he saw he
was left himself.
Charley Martins friends at the state
house and he has good many, say Mr.
Miller voted just right, but the average
Republican who is not allied to either
Fisher or Martin regard it as a bad
break on Congressman Miller's part and
looks like he was playing the dog in
the manger.
The Second district Republicans at
the state house think there must have
been some motive not yet explained
which caused Mr.. Miller to hold out
j. L Bristow, Governor MorrilPs pri-
vate secretary who recently moved from
Salina, Charley Martins home. says he
is glad Martin got beat, as he don't de.
serve anything and never helps any one
but himself. Charley Martin was can
didate for the Legislature in Saline coun-
ty last fall but Mr.. Bristow succeeded in
downing him with Joe Moore.
DR.. Fishers friends are of the opinion
that Mr.. Miller's vote will cause him
some trouble when he asks for a renomi-
nation next year, as all of DR.. Fishers
friends in the Second district will resen
the slap he has just received.

His First Experience.

The widow of General Miramon has
published the memories of her husband,
who, it will be remembered, was execu-
ted with the Emperor Maximilian and
General Mexia. It appears that even in
their last moments the doomed men were
cheerful, and even humorous.
When Macmillan left his cell, he re-
joiced that the weather was SO favorable,
and remarked that it was as fine as if it
had been specially ordered for the occa-
sion. Suddenly the solemn tolling Of a
bell was heard.
81 suppose that is intended for our
deathknell," remarked Macmillan,
turning to General Miramon.
81 am unable to give your majesty
any information on the subject, replied
General Miramon, "as this is my first
experience in being executed. Texas

ssF THE coLoNEL's HAND.
Tho Major Concluded That It Was Too
Much For Him.

Much For Him.
It was the last jack pot. Tom, who
sat at the dealers left. had opened it for
the limit, SO. Blankey, the next man,
raised the entrance fee $40. as did also
the major and the colonel. The dealer
dropped out and all the others trailed
along with the colonel's raise.
1t had been previously agreed that
while the limit was to be $40, the play
ers might increase their bets beyond
that figure if the understanding was
mutual during the play of any hand.
The betting soon ran high, and Blankey
and Tom were not long in discovering
that the pot must go to either the colo
mel or the major, and they dropped out.
"I'L have to raise yo' the limit
said the colonel.
"Make it $2O,' said the major, and
he tried to look unconcerned while he
turned his cards face down on the table.
Fifty" replied the colonel, after
carefully scanning the corner of his
hand.
''Raise it hundred, colonel"
The colonel scanned his hand again.
Then he looked at the major and said
impressively:
"Such hand as this, major, comes
to man but once in lifetime. I'd
bet million on it, but as haven't got
that much, here is all have" And the
colonel laid out his gold watch, dia-
mond ring and 500 in bills "We'Il
call it $500 in all. -
The pot had now grown to large pro-
portions. The other men gathered around
the colonel's chair to watch the major.
GOOD i' exclaimed the major. He
then drew from his pocket a blank
check and filed it out to the order of
''cash" for $500. which would raise the
majors bet 5000. He was about to drop
the check in the pot when he looked up
| at the colonel's face. The major hesitat-
ed. He must have 'em, " he murmured
to himself, and then to the surprise Of
all present he tore up the check.
1.-The pot is yours, colonel" he con-
tinued aloud. 81 can. tell when man
has 'em, and it's a good poker player
who knows when to quit. "
''Ya-as, dray1ed the colonel, and he
smiled as he threw his hand down upon
the table and began counting the chips
and money in the pot.
But" continued the major, "I'd
consider 1t great favor, colonel, II
you'd tell US what you had. Was it a
royal straight flush or four aces?"
''Do tell US, colonel" cried all the
others in chorus.
There's my hand, gentlemen" re-
piled the colonel. "You may look at it. -
The hand was turned face up on the
table, and there, revealed to the gaze Of
| the spectators, WaS-not royal straight
flush, not four aces, but an innocent lit
tie pair of deuces.
"Great ScottP' cried the major, as he
saw the hand. He jumped up and tore
around the room, pulling at his hair
like a mailman.
ooh. some one kick me for an idiot, l"
he yelled. Then, as further explana-
ton, he returned to the table and
showed his discarded hand. and 10,
there were two trays. New York Sun.

WHAT REED WILLDO.
Will Check Smoking in the House and
Other Vile Practices

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3-When Crisp
was speaker of the house it was no un-
common thing for him to walk onto the
floor with a cigar between his fingers,
and upon assuming his position in the
speakers chair place it on his table for
future reference as we'll as use. Some of
the statesmen even went SO far as to
bring their pipes into the hall of legisla-
ton, and the fumes as inhaled in the
galleries above the floor were anything
but that of Araby the blest.
This practice of smoking when the
house is in session has always been con-
demned by Mr.. Reed as unbecoming and
undignifed, and he proposes to stop it
during the Fifty-fourth congress, or
while he is in the speaker's chair.
