A Bad BOs.


A Bad B0s
The mule, an animal without
pride of ancestry or hope of posterity,,
has the paramount" reputation for
consummate stubbornness. He and
his intimate congener, the horse, have
been considered the "boss" bakers;
but there are others; and the boss of
all balky bakers is the "bos" himself,
when his bovine obstinacy takes it
into his head to balk When he gets
set in his determination he has been
found amenable to no means OF per-
suasion devised TO subYert his resolute
pertinacity. Melvin Johnson bought
bull of G.. p. Burnett last week that
proves this contention. He was
twelve years old and weighed ton
and quarter, and the quality and
strength Of his obstinacy was COM
mensurate with his years and weight.
He was bred and nurtured In luxury
on the Burnett farm by the pleasant
waters of the South Fork and it was
"tough''-to contemplate leaving
such pleasant quarters to be taken to
the shambles to be slaughtered and
quartered and stewed and canned and
shipped to the Philippines to help
in governing a lot Of bushwhacking
niggers against the consent OF the
governed" Having set himself
against the journey, several strong
men, yoke Of oxen and steam en-
CINE" couldn't change his determine
tlon. Consequently he was taken to
the railway cattle yards in the way
Jack Spratt licked his father, "by
main strength" Having thus landed
his obstinate ponderosity in the yards
it took half dozen expert mathema-
ticians several days to figure out a
scheme to cajole him into the cattle
cars. No method Of persuasion could
induce him to voluntary locomotion.
Twisting his caudal concomitant into
cork screws wouldn't induce suifci-
ent muscular agitation to twink his
other eye" The boys danced up and
down the area of his ample back,
stood on his horns, played tag among
his ribs, turned somersaults on his
broad hips and made noise enough to
scare wooden sawhorse into hyster-
les but it didn't seem to annoy this
majestic brute more than the buzz
zing Of a fly.
Professor" Allieo Cine, a long
haired, copper-colored mestizo from
Mexico, with abnormal development
Of the muscles of the neck and chin,

ing weights, to support himself

exhibitions of science" on the streets.

There was little of the idealstic

1T is perhaps natural for him to

porary in reference to Hartwell's du-
bious reports. Perhaps, indeed. Has
ever been known to do any
thing but emphasize perils when en-
gagged in any public work. He has en-
phasized the peril of every revolution
that ever occurred in the country and
it was Hartwell who forgot every pa
triotic duty to his nation in cmpha-
sizing the peril to Hawaii of the Span
ish fleet in Manila bay. The public
may rest assured, however. that the
peril of drafts on the Diplomatic
and Consular appropriation will not be
emphasized.
