IRISHMAN'S CAPTURE OF MULE
A Missourian with Gomez Inyeigles
Two Hundred Away from
the spaniards.

The Missouri mules purchased by the
Spanish government and sent to Cuba
from that state before the war had
really commenced have nearly all es-
capped from the Spanish army or have
been captured by the insurgents. The
story is told of an Irishman who had
spent his life in Missouri from the age
of ten years-when he arrived in this
country with his parents-until he was
60 years old. lie had worked with
mules nearly all the time and took a
notion he would go, and went to Ha.
vana just before war was declared,
and afterward Joined Gomez army.
He thoroughly understood the mule,
and, finding the Spanish army had a
corral of Missouri mules about ten
miles from Gomez camp, he secured
permission to capture some of them.
After improvising a cowbell out of a
sheet of brass he mounted an old mare
muffled the bell and started for the
corral. He dismounted in the under
brush, tied his mare to bush and
crawled up to the inclosure. After
dropping the bars and rails and slip
ping bacs to his mare he remounted
and commenced to shake the bell. The
mules began to run toward the bell
wether" until POS of them were out
before the sleepy Spaniards could get
to the opening in the inclosure to pre-
vent more of them escaping. Away
went Jimmy O'Rourk Chat was his
name) on the old mare, and away went
the mules, as close to her and the bell
ss they could get. When he reached
the camp Gomez was enriched just POS
mules, at time, too, when nothing
was wanted worse than mules. Jim
was Immediately promoted to a cap
taincy for his bravery, and after the
war is over Jim will be one of the big
toads on the Cuban tussock.-Iowa

says: Il will visit the sins of the IA
theirs upon the children" but in this
story the Lord visited the sins of the
children upon the parent. The old
man was cursed and the priesthood
taken from his house forever. What if
all the preachers who have had bad
children were deposed in these days?
How many churches would be closed
against the married clergy? Wouldn't
the young theologians be in demand
and have a monopoly of the business
until they, too, got married and raised
bad children? There has been much
said and more written about how to
are the best. They must be restrained,
and, if example and commands will not
do it, then the rod must help. Line
upon line, preeept upon precept-here
a little and there little, which sup
pose means whip little on this side
and then a little on the other side. |
heard a sensible and fond mother say
yesterday: "Ispanked Mary Lou twice
within a few minutes, and it didn't do
her a bit of good. Then spanked her
third time, and she has been the best
little child in the world ever since"
But every parent knows as much
about this as l do, and so l will re-
frain from further advice. Every moth
er knows how to raise other peoples
children, and l know of one who says
she is tempted to move away to get
her children away from the bad in
fluence of her neighbor's children. The
neighbors smile at this, for they know
that she has the worst in town and
are willing for her to go. Even my
wife used to think that the school
teacher ought to whip every boy but
hers. Ii is touching and beautiful
fact that however bad boy may be
and however abused and condemned
by the community and the laws of the
land, if he has a mother he has a
friend.-Bill Arp, in Atlanta Constitu-
| ton
