The kanaka and the Mule,

An interesting incident happened
when ! was in Honolulu said Senator
Morgan. You know the natives are
magnificent swimmers. They take to
water like ducks. One day a cargo OF
mules was being carried on a barge to
a steamer lying of shore, when one OF
the mules jumped overheard and made
for the shore. When he landed on the
beach he looked around, and, seeing
all the other mules still being carried
toward the steamer. he went into the
surf again and started in the direction
of the barge. After he had gone some
distance a great wave came along anc
turned him over. When he righted
himself he was absolutely wild, and
blindly headed for mid-ocean. The
men on the barge watched him for q
while, and then the captain asked IL It
was proposed to let the animal drown.

men. She was cosmopolitan. 80 she

countries. For this reason, and long
before the Dreyfus affair. her "salons"
were looked upon with suspicion by
the government, which. however. new
er could gather sufficient evidence up
