MULES ON THE BALCONY.

Ludicrous Incident that Did Not
Amuse the Owner.
In the old days when mules were
plentifully bred in Kentucky, and
taken thence for sale to the plantation
States, they went forth in droves, COM
monty under the leadership Of a bell
mare, preferably white in color. In
the course Of a few hours the mules
would know their leader, and follow
her with so little trouble that two men
could conduct drove of several hun
dred. Nevertheless. If the foremost
mule turned aside, all the others would
blindly follow her like a flock of
sheep. II recall an amusing instance
of this 'follow-my-leader' motive" says
Prof. N. s. Shaler in Demonstrated
Animals"
Engaged in survey work in Southern
Kentucky, was passing along a quiet
road when in the distance heard a
thunder of hoofs, and in a moment saw
a great drove of mules, the appointed
leader of which, man on a white
horse, had fallen to the rear Of the col
umn. The creatures. thinking 1t their
duty to overtake the missing master,
were going on the full run.
Needing the shouts of the troubled
herder, l turned my wagon across the
road, which, being at that point very
narrow, was effectually barricaded by
the vehicle. Although the rush was so
wild that the brutes nearly overset NV
outfit" they were brought to a full
stop.
Unhappily, on one side of the road
and one hundred feet from it was a
comfortably built Southern house. with
a broad gallery extending along the
front, while in the door of the man
sion were some women whose atten-
ton had been attracted by the tumult.
No sooner had the mob of mules been
brought to a stage of surging quiet,
than one of the creatures jumped the
picket fence, and started for the open
house door.
In much less time than 1t takes to tell
1t, hundred or more mules were on
the gallery, the floor of which gave
way beneath their weight; they quick
ly broke down the columns which sup
ported the roof. SO that the whole
structure at once became a heap Of
wood and mules.
The unlucky proprietor of the drove,
in his CONSERVATION, lifted his hands
like an Oriental in prayer, and said to
me meekly:
did you ever in all your lifer"
I assured him that 1 never did, and
went my way, leaving him to settle an
interesting case of damage with the
owner Of the mansion.

DEATH OFADESERTER
THE TRAGIC RETRlBUTioN THAT
GAME TO CORPORAL HAZE
Officer In a California Regiment Be.
comes Madly Infatuated with Fill
pino Maid, and Is Killed While
Fighting in Rebel Ranks.

When the news came that the First
was going to the front California went
half crazy with pride and patriotic
frenzy. The men of the First were like
madmen in their enthusiastic delight
They grabbed each other around the
shoulders and did wild war dances
They sang, they shouted, they laughed
and some of them cried. And Corporal
Henry Haze danced. and sang, and
shouted, and laughed, and cried with
the best of them. When the ship went
down the blue bay and past the island
past the Cliff house, black with peo-
pie, and out through the Golden gate
into the Pacific, Henry Haze stood on
deck with his comrades. He lifted his
cap. Boys" he said, "we'll make Cali
fornia proud of u.s.
Corporal Haze reached Manila with
the command. Good soldier, well skill
ed in arms, he had been lifted from the
ranks to command squad. Manila is
strange town. strange even to the
world wanderer, Corporal Haze. Many
kinds of women are there, Japanese,
Spanish, French, Malay. There was
more. There was one who was part
native, part Spanish, part French. She
was neither yellow nor black nor white
she was brown, like shining brown
leaf in autumn, and she flirted with
the eyes, like the Spaniard, and with
the fan, like the japanese.
1t wasn't long until Corporal Haze
was only at the camp at duty hours.
When the men of the First got around
and grumbled at the climate and found
how long they were going to be Gagged
up there to stare at the moon, Corporal
Haze was never there. Then came
great news. The general wanted volun-
teers to go to Iloilo. D company was
going. Every man who was going sang
at his packing and every man who was
not going sat about and grumbled be-
cause he could not go. ALI but Cor
poral Maze. He turned as white as
death when he heard about Iloilo.
Some of the men locked at him anxious
ly and one of them began to whistle
1.-THE Girl l Left Behind Me" in the
doleful time of dead march. Cor
poral Haze turned and looked at the
man and his eyes were like the eyes of
a maddened tiger. The tune died ond
the whistler's lips.
On the Sd of January, 1899, company
D of the First Regiment of California
Volunteers embarked, among other
companies, from Manila on a transport
bound for Iloilo. When the transport
was ready to sail it was discovered
that Corporal Haze of company D was
not in his accustomed place. Search
was made for him. He could not be

entirely of worms, larvae, small water

They have inordinate appetites, and
with their long bills bore countless
holes in search of food in the soft places
to which they repair. The digestive
process of this bird is extraordinarily

found. The transport was delayed
while corporars guard went ashore to
extend the search.
The troopship sailed without Corpor-
al Haze, and the soldiers that stayed at
Manila spent all their spare time try
ing to get news of the deserteE and to
find him and to bring him into camp
and to blindfold him and to shoot him
for a coward and disgrace to his uni
form and to the country. But they
never found him.
The soldiers who stayed at Manila
began to be busy. There were riots and
rumors of riots. And one day the Fill
pinos came out of the swamps and
swooped down on the American lines.
The California First was in the thick
of the fight. The regiment went whoop-
ing and cheering into its first charge.
"Hurrah for Gods country, boys"
shouted a beardless boy of a lieuten-
ant.
"Give 'em taste of California shoot
ing" yelled little pink-faced captain.
The Filipinos scattered like chaff be-
IOre the WIFI. DuI TIE OdIlOFulduS
found them lying dead in rows and
huddled heaps. There they found a
white man in pool of water. He had
led the charge. He wore ragged uni
form of a lieutenant of the Filipinos.
One of the Americans stopped to look
at him. The white man opened his
eyes and tried to sit up. Something
ratified in his throat, he waved his hand
in foolish gesture.
Hes trying to sing" said the boy
lieutenant.
"It's the deserter," said a man from

The white man laughed a little and
then he groaned, and then he lay very
still.

Cottonwood report. [volume] (Cottonwood, Idaho) 1893-1901, 1899-05-19

A story comes from Philadelphia to
the effect tina. the beggars in that city
have formed trust. Their object 10
to reduce competition. The city will
be divided into districts. and each beg
gar will have his radius. Each is ex-
pected to pay a small sum into the gem
eral treasury, and If arrested his fine
will be paid. If a beggar refuses to
join the trust his district will be food
ed with competitors. If he persists in
his refusal, well-dressed beggars pos
ing as virtuous citizens Will complain
to the police and have him arrested.
This shows what the capitalistic COM
petitive system is coming to.
