The Cunning OF Pack Mules,

"a pack mule that has seen service
GETS very cunning" said the cXSoldier.
Il remember We had one fellow who
had been in the army for twelve or
fifteen wears, and Ec knew as much as
most of the men. He was occasionally
used as leader. and WAS very fond of
the Job. because in that case he had no
load 10 CORY. TO see him manoeuvring
to get 10 the front was very comical.
The regulation pack wcigs 200 pounds.
and the mules soon learn 10 size it up
to Il niccty. refusing to carry anything
II ore. For that reason they are blind.
folded while being loaded, otherwise
they would be continually looking
around to see whether the pack was in
side the limit.
"On one occasion we received Il coffin
TO be sent to Siboncy and the old mule
/ referred to was selected to carry it.
The coffin weighed only twenty-five
hounds. but the mule must have con-
cluded from it's size that it weighed a
ton. and he immediately began to
groan in the most pitiful manner. eX-
actly like Il human being. When the
coffin was put on his back he pretend
ed to stagger and saggcd down as If
he was carrying 4 tcn-inch gun. At
the same time he turned his head and
looked at me with 4 mournful eX-
preSSsion that was as easily read as so
much print We were all shricking with
laughter and tried to make him take
his place il line. but not IN ilrh would
hche bulge. Finally. he deliberately
rolled over and knocked the coffin on.
That settled il. We let the old rascal
take The bell. and could almost hear
him chucklinS rs it WAS l0Opcd around
his neck. Another mule was then
blindfolded and took on the coffin with
out trouble. New Orleans Times
