The Worthington advance. [volume] (Worthington, Minn.) 1874-1908, 1899-12-01
A FUNNY OLD MULE.
Always Has His Own Way and Stands
with His Head Where His Tail
Ought to BE.

At the Cincinnati workhouse is an
old white mule, known as Jack. He is
considered one of the most peculiar and
eccentric of mules because of one habit.
Jack refuses, and has refused ever since
he came to the workhouse, several years
ago, to occupy his stall like the other
mules and horses in the same stable,
and instead of walking into it,, as they
do, he approaches the door, and, turn
ing about, backs into the stall. In this
position he occupies the stall allotted to
him at all times, his head being where
his tail ought to be.
No one knows just how Jack con-
ceived the idea that this is the proper
way for him to enter the stall, and lit tie
is known as to his views on the subject
beyond the fact that they are positive
and Interchangeable, for no living man
has ever yet been able to convince Jack
that he is in the wrong or to induce him
to reverse his movements in taking his
place for a meal or to retire for the
night.
Thus it is that the stall occupied by
Jack, though originally like the others
in the row, has been readjusted to suit
his habits and needs. In the front
proper of the stall is the regular feed
box and the rack into which the hay
is thrown from the loft above, but Jack
has never seen them, because he takes
his subsistence of life from an impro-

WISE MEXICAN WASP.
How 1t Manages to Provide . Fins
Meal of Fresh Meat for
It's Young.

Here is a picture of Mexican wasp
and it's nest, or rather the nest in which
it lays its eggs. The natural speci-
mems from which the artist made the
pictures were sent to John Dean, the
well-known Brooklyn naturalist, and
when asked to tell about the habits Of
this wasp he said:
'The wasp is not a vegetarian like the
bee, and our cement maker has before
her the problem of supporting her
young with meat, rather than with
bread. AS her eggs are laid out in hot
weather, and as enough food must be
stored in the cell with the egg to ma
ture the young insects, the question is
how to preserve the meat fresh for so
long a time. She meets the difficulty
thus: After tube is finished, except
at one end, which is left open, she flies
off on hunt for spiders. She finds
fat, healthy one, pounces upon it, stings
it and carries it off and places it in a
mud cell. She repeats this process IN

GUIDED By INTUITION


~ begin to think there il no limit to wom-
ans intuition. It frequently enables her to
read character on sight, but what gets me
and strikes me as uncanDy is the fact that
this same intuition projects her knowledge
into the future and makes her about as con-
versant with things to come as with things
past.
Let me illustrate. When the copper mar.
ket was so active put in hours every day
studying quotations, fluctuations, and the
outlook. As the result of a conclusion
reached by this careful method invested
800, made good margins, and was finally
glad to let 60 with loss considerably larger
than my original investment
During period of confidence and in the
enjoyment of prospective riches I had told
my wife Of my investment and of the good
things she might expect when the deal was
closed. 1t gave her the speculative fever
doesn't know what the word stocks means.
A market report is Greek to her. She
couldn't figure on the outlook if she had all
the data and slate and pencil. Yet she
came to me with 500 she had saved in old
teapots and stockings and told me to buy
r. q. M. shares. l sneeringly told her that
they were dead and buried; that she might
as well invest in dry oil well or sunken
ship: But her mind was made up. Thought
I obeyed.
CHOSE shares took sudden iuup to the
surprise of everyone and she cleared $1,000
Men don't seem to have any business sense
she said, when we compared notes. p. @.
M. stands for pretty quick money, but a
stupid man would never see it.

under me an take my orders you all
kin come down. Eff not, you all kin stay
whar you are"
There was no movement aloft for a
while. Then one man, with grunt,
dropped to the deck, and one by one the
rest followed.
Tillman kept his Ratchet by him all
the time. He knew that the moment
that weapon got away from him his
authority was gone and the auctioneer's
block doomed up big and ugly in the
future.
There was one great difficulty, how
ever, that even the Ratchet would not
overcome. Not one of the men knew
anything about navigation. Tillman
thought over this difficulty all night,
and in the morning his plans were laid.
He would sail due west until he came
in sight of land, and then he would fol-
low the coast northward until he
reached New York.
1t was an almost hopeless amateur
ish plan, but in the end it succeeded,
and history tells the commotion his
deed made and the complications that
arose over the disposal of his prison
ers.
