The Mules Delusion.

The pack mule is quite as much an
institution as the team mule and is
absolutely Indispensable in the noun
tains. Mule packing Is @ fine art. and
with we'll trained animal and a skill
ful packer you can safely TRANSPORT
anything from q piano to q bag of oats.
When the packer has finished his lob
IN an artistic manner the animal NAV
DUCK or back, kick or rear or roll, but
he cannot rid himself Of his burden.
and he finally gives it up In despair.
After two or three experiences he will
submit TO his destiny and fall into line
with the rest Of the train every morn
Ing to receive his load from the pack-
er. a we'll trained pack mule is al
ways proud Of his load, and If by any
means 1t gets loose he will step quietly
out Of line and wait until the pack
master comes along to tighten it.
The most serious objection to the
mule. which you sometimes find In hu-
man beings also, is tire de'usion that
Ii. can sing. One who has never heard
a mule solo cannot appreciate the ex-
tent Of his mistake; but, like every
thing else about mule, his song is
strictly original. It belongs to no 9TH
er animal. No one can describe and no
one can initiate it.-New York Mail

Colonel Atkinson,s Wit.

One Of the judges Of the Wayne cir
cult court tells of an incident in the bar
practice Of the late Colonel John At
kinson that illustrates his quickness to
hurl Parthan shaft and the biting
sarcasm Of his irony.
He was opposed IN the case on trial
by all the power and resources of
James 81. Pound, and they were fight
ing like giants for every point Of nd-
vantage. Pound had won a majority
Of the jousts. the colonel was nettled,
and was lying low for chance to de-
liver swinging blow.
'It came" says the Judge, "when I
decided point against Pound. 1t had
been flercely argued by both attorneys.
and in deciding 1t as did stated my
reasons at length, giving authorities.
saw Pound shake his head ut one of
my conclusions, his lips moved. and I
supposed he had made some comment,
so when I concluded my decision I
asked:
"'What did you say, Mr.. PoundY"
"Quick as a shot and In his most cut
ting tones of intense sarcasm the colo
mel replied:
"'Air. Pound did not speak, your
honor. He merely shook his head. There
iS nothing In It, '"-Datrnit Tribune.

Scavenger OF the Veldt.

Although the term "vulture" has
been used for all time as term of
the vilest opprobrium, no one who
knows the bird, it's appearance and its
hahi.s could doubt for moment that
it expresses depth Of degradation
| which is barely conceivable.
Throughout South Africa is found
the aasvcgel. Go anywhere you like
on the veidt, and sooner OF later
aud in all probability the former
you will find the remains of his ghast-
ly meal. There are hundreds Of
thousands Of oxen used in the trans
port and trekking service. Many Of
them die from exhaustion, want Of
water, or cruelty from their Boer
masters. Or they may eat Of the
poisonous tulip, bulbous plant grow
ing in marshy places.
A kurneyOr, or tcamster, soon
! knows if any one CT more OF his oxen
have been eating tulip. The neck of
the OK swells, his eyes close up, he
gives short. sharp coughs, and his case
is generally hopeless. Sometimes,
however, he may be saved. and this
by peculiar homeopathic sort of rem
cdy. If the bulb of the tulip plant is
crushed into pulp, mashed with hot
water, aud forced boiling hot down
the throat Of the OK he may recover.
The quickness Of the eye Of the aas-
vogcl is simply astounding. An OK
falls out Of the team, evidently ill, he
is outspanned from his yoke fellow,
aud he goes down to the spruit or
stream. The sky above and away to
the horizon on all sides is absolutely
clear and cloudlcss.
Hardly has the breath left the body
Of the poor OK than you may observe
far, far away up in the sky, tiny black
speck, then another, and another, and
another, until there are twenty of
them. Gradually they get larger and
larger, circlipg round in ever dimin-
ishing circles all the while they de-
scend. The dead OK forms the centre
Of the circumference Of their fight.
Within few minutes the grisly horde
swoop down upon the still warm beast,
and commence their ghoulish task.
An hour afterward there is nothing
in the spruit but bundle Of bleach
| ed white bones, .!iat might have been
there for months. The sky is clear

Properly Punished.

y man who shows no pity for the
fathcrless and widows, though pro-
tccted by human law. is according to
the divine law, an opprcssor. The
Life of Henry A. Wise tells of the
discontinue Of such person:

Just as she returned the auctionccr
cried, Sold and the purchaser in

widow pleaded for tho little that was
so much to her, but the man was OBJ
durate, and murmurs of Indignation
arose from the crowd. Angry as this
demonstration, the man turned, aud
his eye rested on Mr.. Wise.
"Nlr. WISE" he said, you are Il
lawyer. Am right or not? If you
say am not will give back the
sugar. If you say | am entitled to it,

"Aha!" cried the man, turning to
the spectators, "what did 1 tell you?"
"Stop!' thundcred Wise, whose

bad For the Mice.

All houses are more or less Overrun
with mice, and rs the tiny creatures
are capable Of doing great deal of
mischief 1t Is only natural that the
careful housewife should try to get
rid Of them. A very simple and in
genious plan consists of standing a
small tub Of water on a chair almost
on a level with the pantry or cup
board shelf the mice most frequent
and then sprinkling the water thickly
with oats. The oats float on the wa
ter and impart such an appearance of
solidity to the surface that the unsus-
pecting mice, having liking for oats,
venture upon 1t at once and Of course
are drowned.-Woman's Life.

This Hen Had sense.

My sister lived on farm in Wood

fowls. One hen turkey was very un-
fortunate with her broods, losing them
by taking them into the tall grass some
distance away. She was an excellent
mother, but lacked Judgment She
mourned sincerely for them and for
comfort would coax the breods Of the
other turkeys and hens to follow her.
One morning about o'clock my sis

on the bed. 1t was the mother Of q
young brood Of chickens. She ponder.

fowl clucking to the chickens, which
were toddling along after her. The
mother hen had given the alarm, but
the mystery was how she had gained
an entrance to the house.
Upon looking about 1t was found that
window had been left open in IN up-

1t was not very high, but the anxious
mother had flown upon the shed and

BUSINESS MEN ACT.
Interested in the Return of the Thir-
teenth Regiment Intact

AT a meeting of Minneapolis business
men, called by Mayor Gray yesterday
afternoon, the only matter discussed was
the bringing of the Thirteenth regiment to
Minneapolis intact. This committee was
named to confer with Thomas Lowry
regarding transportation: James Gray,
chairman; w. H. Eustis, Lucian Swift,
w. E. Haskell and Walter Gregory.
Mayor Gray expressed the opinion that
1t was the duty of the various communi-
ties to which the regiment belongs t. see
that the men are transported from San
Francisco to Minneapolis free of cost to
themselves. This sentiment was unani-
mously indorsed
The question confronting the commit
tee on arrangements is the best means Of
bringing the regiment here. In view of
the absence of Thomas Lowry, the cnatr-
man of the committee on arrangements,
it was deemed best to request the mayor
to appoint a committee of five, including
himself, to confer with Mr.. Lowry upon
his return home
Mr. Lowry is expected home this fore
noon, and upon his arrival the committee
will wait upon him and ascertain what
arrangements, if Aly, he has succeeded
in making regarding the transportation
Of the regiment from San Francisco to
Ninnea polls.
