But Mr.. Cleveland did not recognize

A well broken pack mule is always

The most serious objection TO the
mule, which YOU sometimes find in hu-
man beings also, is the delusion that he
can sing. One who has never heard a
mule solo cannot appreciate the extent
of mis- mistake. but. like everything
else about a mule. his song is strictly
original. 1T belongs to no other ami
NAL. No one can describe and no one
can initiate it.

the British, and the length of time re-
quired to do it viii depend largely on
the developments of the next few

/ observe that the American press has
overlooked certain facts in considering
the present aspect, with reference TO
the cause of the fight in 1881, which
was entirely foreign TO the cause of the
present outbreak.
The Beers originally moved into the
TransVaal because England had order
ed them to give UP their slaves. The
Boer lives in the style of the ancient
patriarch, it must be remembered. He
makes an excellent pioneer in unset
