THE BOOM IN MULES.
There Are increasing Where Other
Farm Animals Are Fewer.
From the Sun.

The average value of an American
mule, or more properly, the value of
an average mule, is S40 and in most
states of the country a mule is worth
more than horse. BY the bulletin
issued by the department of agricul-
ture on March 8, the live stock returns
of the country were, approximately:
Horses, $4,000, 900; mules, 100000; mich
cows, 10000, 900; sheep $4,000, 600; swine,
80, 900, 0O0 Horses, COWS, oxen and
swim, and especially horses, decreased
below the totals of last year and the
year before. The number of sheep and
mules increased, and, in proportion to
the number of them, mules increased
more rapidly than any other. There
are now 100000 fewer horses in this
country than there were two years ago
and the number is steadily declining
IN consequence of the use of electric
ity on street railroads, the popularity
of bicycles and motor carriages. and
the superior endurance and smaller cost
of maintenance of mules. The Ameri-
can mule has been criticised adversely
by essayists, humorists, persons con-
sidering themselves humorists, and
superficial Observers of American life,
manners, and customs, but 1t is a fact,
especially in the states of the South
and Southwest, that the American
| mule is an important factor in agricul-
| tural DEVELOPMENT. He is willing
beast cheaply maintained, never like
| ly to run away, not subject to the all
ments and disabilities which unfit the
| horse for much hard service, and bet
ter able to stand the climatic condi-
tons.
There are four states in which mules
are very numerous-Missouri Texas,
Georgia and Tennessee. There are 300-
900 mules, by the last official report,
in Texas, and the value of them is in
excess of SIC, 100000 Louisiana has few
| er-but better-mules, and all the Gulf
states are represented largely by this
| farm animal. South Carolina has more
! mules than horses by nearly 80 per
| cent. Georgia has more mules than
| horses, and almost in the same pro-
| portion. The average value of a horse
on farm in Georgia Is $4S; the average
| value of a mule IL S62; and COWS are
| sold for 500. Florida, possibly on ac-
| count of the fiatness of the state and
| the moisture, has few mules, but in
| Alabama the number of mules and of
| horses is almost identical; there is only
| difference of a couple of hundred
between the two in the state with $780,
900 OF each. In the Western states, and
| particularly in the Northwest, mules
are not numerous, being used principal
ly in mines. Recently an ingenious
inventor has devised a plan for doing
| away with this employment of mules
| by substituting an electric appliance
for the carriage Of ore. In California
and especially in southern California,
in agricultural operations the number
of mules is considerable, and it is,
moreover. increasing. At the begin
ming of 1868 there We're only $4,000
Elules in the United States. In 1880
there were 100000. Since 1893 the
number of horses has been steadily de-
| clining.

law of the state prohibits their manu-
facture, sale and use.
3. An anti-gambling bill aimed spe-
cially at winter horse racing. which is
conducted mainly in the interest Of
pool rooms which are operated not only
where the races are, but in states
where such gambling is prohibited,
and, by having bets telegraphed 70 an
other state, the unlawful act is osten-
sibly performed there, and thus the
state law is evaded.

LESSER OF TWO EVILS.
Novel Plea ofnn Attorney in n Tax
Title Case.
From Case and Comment.


A newspaper report Of the speech of
John Atwood, at Leavenworth, Kan,
on behalf of Col. d. Il. Anthony, IN a
tax title case. says that Atwood, as a
Democratic politician. had long been
the target for Colonel Anthony's criti-
cism, but was called on to try his
case because Senator Baker who was
Colonel Anthonys' attorney, was in
Washington. Atwood's eloquent rlea
for his client was in part as follows:
80 The one thing that is wrong
about the case is that your honor cam
not find against both the parties to
this suit. From the standpoint of per-
soual merit, neither of them ought to
win Neithcr of them came into court
with clean hands, and l have doubts
about their feet. But Anthony has paid
the taxes for many years on the prop
erty. This is playing the part of the
good citizen. a part that is new to him,
that sets awkwardly uoon him, and one
that startles the community with it's
novelty. But since he is playing this
part he ought to be encouraged in 1t
by being permitted to win this suit.
When you find one doing right for the
first time in his life the thought OF dis
couraging him revolts the judicial con-
science.
II will admit, your honor that it is
a choice of evils; one of the evils has
a hooked nose and the other has peg
leg; but the hooked nose pays his
taxes, and the peg leg doesn't, and that
is where my side has got the best of 1t.
If you feel inclined to decide this case
in favor of my opponent because of the
delightful sentiments that cluster
around his name, and that through
your mind should float the beautiful
strains of Douglass, Douglass, Tender
and True ask you to remember that
my client claims a saint among his
ancestors. l will admit that the claim
has never been allowed, but we make it
all the same. Your honor may think they
are two old devils together, but l sub
init that we are not responsible for the
age of Judge Douglass's iniquities. To
be sure, the great age of my client is
an evidence that they whom the gods
love die young, but that does not alter
the fact that he and he alone, of these
men. has paid the taxes.
90 | can see that your honor
is itching to hit them both (and ordi-
narily you could not hit either one of
them a lick amiss). but 1 pray your
honor TO remember that you can't beat
them both, much as they both deserve
it, and since you must give the case to
enc of them, / ask your honor to shut
your eyes and give it to Anthony" And
the court did.

DON'T CHEW GUM.
Here's n Scientific Opinion That II Is
Seriously UnhealthiuI.
From Popular Science News.

From Popular Science News.
The constant Utilization Of the sali-
vary organs kept UP by chewing this
stuff not only causes a steady drain of
saliva, which is most wasteful, but.
what is mere serious still, in conse-
quence of the frequently repeated stim-
ulation to which these organs are thus
exposed, they fail to respond to the
normal excitation which ought to rouse
them to action when food is taken. A
constant dribble of salivary secretion
is substituted for the healthy flow
which should occur only at meal times.
The glands fail to respond to any slim
ulant less potent than the pepper
mint, anise seed or the constituents
found in chewing gum, and the more
insipid foods. such as bread and other
starchy compounds, pass into the stom-
ach unchanged. This is disturbing to
digestion at its very commencement,
anl it is extremely probable that the in
digestion for starchy substances, which
is so commonly met with at the present
day, is largely due to the waste of sali-
va caused by smoking and by the con-
stant chewing of various substances
which is going on all around, The chew
ing Of gum is thus not only a Easty
habit, but is provocative OF Ill health.
Unfortunately, when Chewing gum" is
sold in the form OF a sweetmeat, it may
cause still more serious consequences,
being apt to be swallowed by children,
who, like their first parents, when they
see that It is apparently good for food
and pleasant to the eyes, are unde-
TERED by the superscription mot to be
eaten,'

THE UNITED STATES.
The Hon. Champ Clark Gives His
Views on His Country.

From Speech in st. Louis.
l once heard a preacher who knew a
great deal more about theology than he
did about grammar read a passage of
Scripture to his audience, and then say:
Brethren and sisters. the whole gospel
Of Christ is all squz up in that one little
text"
A quarter of century ago I was
teaching school in the hill country .
Kentucky. One OF my favorite pupils
a bright Syear-old kid, named Geoy
Mosely-moved with his fathers fan
to Vernon county, Missouri. When 4
reached St. Louis and Georges -
eyes grew large with wonder T gazing
for the first time upon ttS<Father VI
Waters, he wrote me a letter. His de-
scription of that majestic stream was
all 'squz up' into this one terse.
graphic and pregnant sentence: THE
Mississippi is a big river!" That de-
scription sank deep into my memory.
1t is perfect. Addition would not aug
ment it's force. Subtraction, even in
the estimation Of a hair, would be it's
ruin.
So could this night respond to the
toast THE United States of America"
properly, adequately and comprehen-
sively by adopting the laoonic style of
my pupil and simply saying THE
United States of America is big
country" which would be good gram
mar from a Republican standpoint; or.
THE United States of America are a
big country" which would be correct,
according to the Democratic standard
big in area, big in wealth. big in
population. big in achievement, big in
ambition, big in glory, big in the bene-
ficence of it's institutions, big in possi-
bilites.
There is one Irish-American OF Amer
ican-Irishman for whom l have the in

can conquer, but because, when, at the
meridian Of his fame, he was intro
duced to his Royal and Imperial High

and was told to take his hat off in that
august presence, animated by the spirit
of 70 he stoutly refused and resolutely

THE MARKETS.
Wall street Neview.

New York, March 24.--The stock mar
ket today was alternatively feverish
and stagnant, closing at the lowest
with the losses confined to fractions in
the railways, but ranging from to 3
points elsewhere. The Cuban situation
was the a1l-important factor today as
1t has been for long time in the mar
ket's fluctuations. Prices rallied sharp
ly at the opening on the assumption
that there would be more delay in deal
ing with the Cuban question.
The change of attitude of foreign fin
anciers towards American securities
was used by the bears to hammer the
international shares at frequent in
tervals. The pressure against st.
Paul, New York Central, Louisville
and Union Pacific preferred resulted in
recessions of over point as compared
with the high prices established In re-
cent trading. The weakness of Span
ish fours abroad did not escape obser-
walton as II was coupled with the an
nouncement that the Spanish torpedo
hotilla was proceeding westward.
Washington selling emphasized the To-
cal spectators Interpretation Of the
activity in the navy department and
the declaration in the senate by re-
cent observer Of the conditions in Cuba
that the horrors there were impossible
