man yanking off his coat and splitting
on his hands and a nation girding Itself
up for war. Big bodies move slow and
they demand lots of room. AZ far as
we are concerned, we are going to give
this Government fair show to draw
long breath and double up its fists,
and to back it with all the enthusiasm
in our system. If, after reasonable
time, it fails to accomplish what it set
out to do. there are men in Arizona
who will cheerfully tackle the job, and
we are one of them Uncle Sam is an
easy-going, good-natured old chap, and
it takes him few weeks TO get real
mad When his ears begin to work
and his hair to curl, the Filipinos had
better look out for splinters.
THE ARIZONA MULE IN WAR.
There isn't an able-bodied man in
this Territory who isn't aching to get
a whack at Aguinaldo, and who
wouldn't throw up his hat at a chance
to enlist, but there is another element
among us which we hope the Govern
ment will not overlook We refer to
the Arizona mule. He's fighter by
nature. He was born for war, and from
one end of the Territory to the other
he's braying with enthusiasm and ask
ing to be counted in. The Kentucky
mule may be sleek and stout, but If
Uncle Sam wants something which can
live on thistles, run like rabbit and
kick like the butt-end of a bolt Of light
ming, he should gather in Arizona
mules. We've owned a mule for the
last eight years, and we know him like
a brother We have seen him live on
cur exchanges for days and grow fat
at that. He has carried us sixty miles
a day and then been frisky enough to
kick us over the campfire. He has
| drank from a mountain brook, a mud
hole, or our whisky flask. He has out
Maypole, and he has climbed noun
tains and given us a lift at the end
of his tail. We can't write the Arizona
mule down as being handsome and full
of curves and dimples, but he's ''busi-
ness for 500 days in the year. A thous-
and of them with their south ends
turned toward regiment of Filipino
infantry. and encouraged to let fly with
both feet at once, would win glorious
victory or perish in way to make his
tory sing their praises

once upon a time, when there were
nienty of Kings and Queens in Ireland
as many of them often we heard of,
blt few of them ever were seen-there
was a King and a Queen, and they had
one son called Jack. Now, this Jack,
when he grew up, was a fine, strong
Swapping, able fellow, and he was very
fond of fishing. There was one river in
particular alive with trout and fishes
of all descriptions, that Jack would never
be tired fishing in, but at length the
trouts and other fishes in this river be-
gan TO get so old-fashioned for him that
when they'd find him fishing on one side
of the river they would all swim to the
other side. and then, when my poor Jack
would take a boat and cross over TO the
other side after them, back they'd all
swim. and be back to the other side again
by the time he'd have got to the opposite
bank and they'd then commence wag-
gng their tails the creatures, out of
the water at him tauntingly. Well it
wasn't in human nature to stand that sort
cf thing; no more was il in Jack, for Jack.
Of course, was only human and then
Jack would come home in the evening in
the very devil of a temper, and maybe
commence kicking the cat out of spite,
bekase the trouts wagged their tails at
HIM So this. of course, more or less. vex-
