Concerning Gove..ment Mules.

tFrom tne hfctmond D1Spatch-)
Perhaps no living creature has been the
victim of more odium and derision than
the Government mule. and yet this
worthy animal has many traits which
commend it to Uncle Sam. Recently the
War Department issued an order for the
purchase of 1000 of the long-eared beasts.
and a St Louis paper makes the boast
that Missouri will furnish the great bulk
of these valuable recruits. An Army Of
ficer of considerable experience-experi-
ence both with mules and people-super-
vises the purchase of the animals. Three
classes are wanted: First. the heavy
''wheelers.' which will be next TO the
wagons. and then the swing mules to
be hitched In the center of the team
while last comes the light mules. which
will serve as leaders.
1t is not every mule that can pass
muster. and the red tape incident to
Army enlistment applies vigorously to
these unpretentious creatures. By the
time the experts get through with the
mules the latter. If gifted with conversa-
tional powers. could boast of physical
perfection and perfect dental equipment.
Amiability too. is considered. and a
beast that shows a tendency to kick is
barred the opportunity of serving his
country.
When a mule Is accepted 4 numeral-
either I, 2 or sis stamped with hot
iron on its hoof to denote the class to
which it is assigned; and. last. but not
least the significant letters ~. s." are
singed upon its side. Although the op-
Grafton is not particularly painful. the
markings remain throughout the life of
the animal. and thereby it acquires a
lasting badge of honor and an entree into
Army circles.

writes that whereas civilized man Is ex-

the number of wives a man has settles
the question as to his previous wealth,
for each wife was bought. and for her
he must have paid her father from eight
to thirty oxen.
Consequently his wealth may be esti-
mated by the number of wives and chill
dren. because the whole transaction may
be described as natural human farming.

Talking It Over.

these discussions of the ailments peculiar
to women took place twenty years earlier
in life. If little of the prudery of mod
ern society were banished, so that young
women talked these subjects over among
themselves, there would be less suffering
among women in middle life.
Good health II the best endowment that
human being can have. Good general
health among women is largely dependent
upon good local health in womanly way.
Through ignorance and neglect it has be-
come such an ordinary, common place
thing for women to suffer from weakness
and disease of the delicate and important
feminine organism, that many women have
come to look upon these troubles as an
unavoidable inheritance. This is mis-
take. All troubles of this nature may be
cured in the privacy of the home, without
undergoing the obnoxious examinations
and "local treatment" insisted upon by
the average physician. DR.. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription gives health, elastic
strength and vitality to the sensitive organs

Woe. OF Mail Carriers.

One of Uncle Sans mail carriers breads to per-
form his duties in a certain city, for the reason
that he is, or rather was, roundly abused twelve
times week, which is often he makes his
rounds. In this particular locality lives woman
who has been looking for letter from relatives
in another city for many weeks At first she
inquired pleasantly Of the postman for the expect

in hard harsh voice, SCOT my letter yet?

One week slipped by. and the patient servant
of the Government was greeted by the woman
something like this: Look here, want that
letter, now. I believe it's at the postcffce and
you Just won't bring it out. I'm going uptown
to see about it." Again the postman assured the
anxious woman that there was nothing for her.
The next day the letter carrier missed his usual
abuse, as the woman chanced to be away from
home Yesterday, however, he got 1t good and
strong, for when he said to her, Hasn't come yet
she lost control Of herself completely and sworc
che believed the carrier had stolen the letters she
intended reporting him; knew there was rascality
somewhere; knew all the postofice employees were

Choir and Congrcantion.

1t is a terrible thing to belong to
church where congregational singing pre-
walls and yet where choir endeavors to
put expression into the music, says OBJ
server in the Chicago Post. The obvious
way OF putting expression in is to forte
on passages concerning majesty. power
and glory and to piano all illusions to
weakness, tears and death. In the inter-
ests of light and shade the young-eyed
cherubim in white night shirts learn to
sing gently on such lines as:
Far. far away. like bells at evening pealing.
Earth's JOYS grow dim. its glories pass away.
and the congregation generally sings with
one wary ear open for the first indication
of an unexpected pianissimo. Sometimes
with all its caution ii is caught una
wares and then the effect Is funny. Last
Sunday in our church We all sang our pa
triotic lungs out on familiar hymn.
that brought to mind our gallant Navy.
1t said:
From rock and tempest. FIRE and foe.
Protect them wheresoe'er they go.
q hear Us when cry to Thee
For those in peril on the sea!
OF course the choir took a mean advan-
taee of our excited feelings. This is the
way the last part of that hymn sounded:
And bid the MIGHTY TUMULT cease.
And give for WILD CONFUSION peace!
The beginning was taken in stentorian
tones; the organ doomed in Imitation of a
thunderstorm and the congregation added
nightly to the wild confusion" Then
the organ suddenly hushed and choir
cooed peace" like a nest of sucking
doves, while We were still shouting our
loudest. Our support had dropped from

this bit of furniture Is by far the most
