Andy Waldeck'S Mule.

Andrew Waldeck's mule is getting
a reputation it does not deserve. 1t
is in reality well-disposed animal,
but even the most exemplary mule
cannot be expected to behave itself
under the exasperating circumstances
that have befallen the quadruped re-
ferred to. Some time ago Mr.. Wal
deck took his mule and cart to haul
load of wood from the country. In
descending a hill the breechband
broke and the cart ran into the hind
quarters of the mule Very mutually
he tried to get out Of the way, and in
order to keep ahead he beat his rec
ord for speed. Everything that was
in the cart was spilled out, and the
road was lined with wood from the
BilImyer farm to town. The harness
was mended and the mule has since
conducted himself with dignity until
Tuesday morning, when he was hltched
to a wagon to haul his master and
Sam Jones and Tom Leggett to the
country. The bellyband was not
properly fastened, and before they
had gone far the shafts began to poke
the mule in the ears. He pointed his
ears forward, hoisted his tail, and
went down Vanmeter's hill in dead
run. Mr.. Leggett concluded he would
rather walk the balance Of the way
and he Jumped out. He lit on his feet
all right and then he also landed on
his nose, finally winding up on his
arm, which was badly hurt, possibly
broken. The end-gate of the wagon
was down, and Mr.. Jones gently slid
out the back end. He hit the road
wrong side up, however, ard his head
struck the pike with such a thump
that he didn't know "where he was
at" for some time afterward. Mr.
Waldeck remained in the wagon un-
til the vehicle struck solid rock and
stopped short. He wasn't hurt, but
the wagon halted so suddenly it stop
ped his watch. The mule kicked him
self loose and hurried on to Rockland,
where he awaited with melancholy in
terest the arrival of the battered pas
sengers. He seemed sorry for what
had occurred, even if it was not his
fault.
Tom Leggett says he has no hard
feelings for the mule. He blames the
man who hitched him up.

Wireless TeIeqraphy.

1t is said that successful experiments
have at last been accomplished in wire
less telegraphy, and this would undoubt-
eddy be a good thing and revolutionize
many ways of doing business. One
writer has gone so far as to say that
wireless telegraphy is the greatest dis
covery of the age. We beg to differ.
Don't overlook Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers when you talk about the great
things of the world. This peerless med
icine has done more TO promote health
and settle stomach troubles than any
other medicine in existence. 1t cures
dyspepsia, indigestion, malaria and con-
stipation. 1t never fails. Try it, and
be sure and get the genuine, with Pri-
vate Revenue Stamp over the neck of
bottle. Don't let the druggist palm off
a substitute.

Notes Of the Railroads.


Shepherdstown will soon have its
new freight DEF OF. A gang of car
penters is busy at work this week
erecting the building and it will be
ready for occupancy in short time.
The structure will be put up adjoining
the passenger station. on the north
and the two buildings will be con-
nected by the platform. New steps
leading to the old station have been
put up and another doorway cut.
The new depot will not be thing of
beauty and from an architectural
standpoint may never attract atten-
ton from the world at large. 1t is,
however, considerable improvement
over the old freight cars, and perhaps
we ought to be thankful. We note
that Superintendent Lowe is a man of
his word.
The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad is
preparing to give medallions to uni
formed employees who have served the
road over five years. In all l 1888 en-
ployes will be thus remembered. Two
of the engineers, Joseph West and w.
Blackwell, who have been in the SER
vice SO and 81 years, respectively,
will receive gold medallions, which
will serve as passes over the lines Of
the Baltimore and Ohio as long as
these veterans live. Eleven others,
who have served As years, will receive
silver medallions and the remainder
will be of bronze. They will be Of
oblong shape and are meant to be at
tached to the watch chain.
When the officials make their next
inspection of the Norfolk & Western
Railway they will find the water-tank
at Shepherdstown one Of the neatest
and prettiest places along the line.
Charles Mcdonald, the tender, has
made it very attractive by painting
up his engine-house most tastefully,
and has cleared away all the weeds
and rubbish and laid off handsome
flower beds, planted shade trees and
sodded the bare places until his sur
roundings are really beautiful. 1t is
a very commendable spirit ofimprove-
ment that the higher officials would do
well to emulate.
Orders have been received for the
men OF the N. & W. Railway to have
everything cleaned up and repaired
about tracks and stations and to have
everything in frst-class trim, as next
week the leading officials Of the Penn
sylvania Railroad, which road has now
controlling interest in the n. & W.,
will inspect it.
