THE MULES EDUCATION.
His Systematic Course OF Training for
Army Pack Duty at Jeffer-
son Barracks.

ST. LOUIS. Mo-, Oct 2S,--Just now
the Missouri mule IL IN great demand
as a pack animal Tor army purposes.
Major II. ]. Scoben Of the British army
who recently made purchases OF several
thousand mules In this vicinity. says
the st. Louis Dispatch for service In
the TransvaAl. has returned to this
city to increase his orders. Many OF
the mules he purchased are from Texas,
but most OF them are Missouri bred.
Captain Smith, who accompanied Major
scobell, says that the Missouri mule
Is the best anywhere; he has bought
many In Spain and In other states Of
this union than Missouri, but he thinks
the animals from this state are superior
to all for pack train duty,
w, w wit, the chief packer and
trainer Of mules for this branch OF
the service In the United States army.
thinks the Texas mule makes the best
pack animal. though he requires more
training than the Missourian, The
Texas animal grows wild, runs on the
range and picks up his own living, and
when he IL bought by Uncle Sam he
chafes at first under the restraint, but
once trained and made 30 understand
his duties he Is a splendid pack ami
NAL. Mr.. Witt admits his superiority,
though he himself is loyal Missou-
rlan.
jefferson Barracks, just south OF st.
Louis, is the training headquarters for
pack mules for the United States army,
All mules In the service have under
gone their preliminary training there.
At present there are nearly three thou
sand mules doing duty as pack animals
In Cuba, Porto Rico, the Philippines,
Alaska and on the Western plains In
connection with army operations.
When the war against Spain began
there were but few mules on duty,
and the experienced mule handlers In
the army employ were scarce. Now
there are In active service thity-seven
pack trains, made up of slxty-three
mules each, and three more such
trains have have been organized and

Why You YawD.

Have You ever observed at theater
or concert that the people who are most
deeply interested appear between the
acts to be quite weary of the whole
thing, yawning half dozen times in
succession? The reason of this is
physiological one When your attention
is much absorbed in anything exciting
or touching. You breathe in a very shall
low manner and take into your lungs
only half enough air. Consequently,
when your attention is relaxed, You
have to make up the deficiency. This
you do by yawning, which. after all. is
only breathing very deep breath.
If You watch man at play and
observe that he is greatly moved by
some incident. You may feel sure that
when the scene ends he will sigh and q
moment or two later yawn repeatedly.
Of course the yawning, so far from be-
ing sign of WEAKNESS, is a proof of
the liveliest appreciation.
Very often you will observe the same
phenomenon in q girl reading novel.
And by her yawns you can tell when
the end of some absorbing incident is
reached. Cincinnati Enquirer.
