HANLEY'S BOLD RIDE
Brought a RecalIitrant Mule Back
TO Army Camp.
And by This Act of GaIIantry Saved
Maj. RenO's Column from Being
ENternlinated by BIOOdthirsty
Indian Fiends.

When some American mules in South
Africa stampeded with the British
field guns and pgt the Englishmen in
rather bad plight in the face of the
enemy people said that it was the
American mules way of showing sym
Pathy with the Boer cause. The thing
was spoken of and written about ev-
erywhere as being the first instance
where the mule, though his back al.
ways has had 10 bear much obloquy,
ever came within an ace of being re-
sponsible for the defeat of an army.
People who wrote and talked about
the affair evidently had never heard Of
how Missouri mule came near being
the cause of the wiping out of Reno's
battalion on the Little Big Horn con-
temporaneOusly with the annihilation
of Custer and his band a few miles be.
yond. An ugly, vicious, branded Mis-
souri, mule did his level best on that
awful day to aid the Indians in exter-
minating the whites, and, what's more,
If it hadn't been for an Irish sergeant,
Richard j. Hanley, recently retired,
the Missouri mule would have sue
! ceeded.
1t was in the red month of June, 1876,
says the Chicago Record-Herald, when
Reno's column after separating from
Custer sgrUck the river of the Little
Big Horn. The gallant major, whose
Yalor in war was much greater, as sub
sequent events proved, than his dis
erection in love, was attacked by a tre-
mendous force of Indians. There
wasn't over and above much ammuni-
| ton with Reno's outfit. AS a sailor
would say: They had been flying
light" and with the exception of what
the men had in their belts the bulk of
the bullet supply was on the back of
an ornery Missouri mule, chosen for
the job of carrying it because of his
prodigious size and strength.
The lOng-eared ammunition bearer
was with the pack train to the right

and rear of the squadron which was
lying facing the enemy along the edge
of the wood. \ Sioux bullet went over
the head of the skirmishers, and with a
far-reaching trajectory tore an ounce
of flesh out of the pack mules flank.
1t instantly snapped its tether, broke
ike a set of fours from right TO rear,
and clearing the obstacles of its right
full lords and masters to the front
made straight on a wild galIOp for the
heart of the outlying masses of the
Indians. When within about 100 yards
of the place for which 1t was headed
the mule struck a bit of bunch grass
which was to its liking, and it then
and there started to Craze. On its back
in the ammunition cases lay that
which meant the safety of Reno's
forces. To reach the animal any man
of the command must cross an open
plain swept by d thousand rifles. There
was a moment of consultation among
the officers, and a desperate plan for
the recaPture of the mule was being
discussed, when one of the soldiers
saw far over TO the right, just above
the grass, the slowly moving head of a
white man who was crawling toward
the stampeded animal. The word was
passed along the line and volley after
vOlley from the whites kept the atten-
ton of the enemy directed away from
the mule and from that solitary SOL
der who was worming his way toward
it. Discovery for him meant capture
and death. On he went, while between
shots the eyes of his every cOmrade
sought him. He was within p yards
of the mule. Then he stood straight
up, dashed forward, vaulted onto the
crea ture's back, and digging deep the
spurs he started the animal back on a
gallop as wild as that by which it had
fed. There was a yell from the reds.
A hundred rifles were emptied at the
Sergt Richard ]. Hanley, who was
astride that giga Etic Missouri mule, as
it went through that hailstorm, got
never a wound, though his chances of
escaping unhurt were only one in a
thousand. The mule was saved, but.
as a trooper put it afterward, "the crit
ter brought back as much lead in its
hide as it did in its pack"
Perhaps Richard j. Hanley, sergeant,
retired, is the only man on record who
wears a medal of honor for riding a
mule, though that opera ton even in
peaceful times is not always devoid of
danger.

DOG WEARS DIAMONDS.
Yacht Ornamented with Ear
rings Worth a Fortune,

Lloyd PhoeniX's little Dutch dog
ShPperine, called Skip for short, is
probably the first dog to boast of
a $1,000 pair of three-carat diamond
earrings.
Skip has lived for seven years
aboard Capt. Phoenix's smart and
fast yacht Intrepid. The little black
dog is not more than five inches
high. Another dog named Creek also
sails on the Intrepid. He is a brindle
French bulldog.
Since Skip has worn the diamond
earrings Greek has been so jealous

that he has scarcely tolerated the lit
tie Dutch dogs presence.
The Intrepid returned to Tebo's
basin, Brooklyn, the other day, after
a splendid cruise, beginning at New
York on April Z, to the south and
Havana. During the cruise Capt.
Phoenix conceived the idea of dec
Grating the yachts favorite mascot
with valuable gems. So he pierced
the little dogs ears with a gold
needle and inserted a waxed silk
thread. AT the end of each shank is
a gold screw cap, which is screwed
up until it forms clamp on the in
side of the ear.
Skip did not take very kindly to his
ornaments al first, but he is proud of
them now.

Dixie is especially useful when one

What to Do.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
Young men, you are the architects
of your own fortunes. Rely upon
your own strength Of bod y and soul,
and don't take too much advice so as
to be led into any evil way, for the
evil which is created in man; will
make him to be dishonest, and un-
happy if he does not guard himself
against it while on earth. How
many people can face their neighbors
and friends with faithful and glowing
looks when they know that they were
dishonest to them? Make money
and do good with it, and not form
the habit of throwing your dollar
down to stand the damage when you
are not iustifable in the deed. Love
your God and fellowmen. Love
your God that he may grant you q
happy and peaceful life. Love your
fellowmen with brotherly love, so
that you will not lead them in a po-
sition that would not be comfortable
for them. This country is made up
of civilized class OF people, and it
will not be justi6able in the sight Of
God for men to have a continual
roaring among one another like lions.
Love truth and virtue, for your own
benefit, and give them large space in
your head that you may dwell safely
while on earth and if you have any
sympathy in your heart for a lying
class of people the best would be for
you to lock it and throw away the
key that it may never originate in
YOUR mind again. u. II.

The Farmers Creed.

Since creeds are fashionable, it will
be good idea for farmers to adopt
one and strictly observe it. Follow
ing is a farmers creed said to have
been furnished by Henry Ward
Beecher sixty years ago, when he
was editing the Indiana Farmer:
We believe in small farms and
thorough cultivation.
We believe the soil loves to eat as
we'll as it's owner, and ought there
fore to be literally fed.
We believe in large crops which
leave the land better than they found
it-making the farmer and the farm
both glad at once.
We believe liz going to the bottom
of things, and therefore, in deep
plowiDg, and enough of it. All the
better with sub.soil plow.
We believe that every farm should
own a good farmer.
We believe that the best fertilizer
for any soil is a spirit of industry,
enterprise and intelligence. Without
this, lime and gypsum, bones and
green manure, mari and gusno will
be OF little use.
We believe in good fences, good
barns, good farm houses, good stock,
good orchards. and children enough
to gather the fruit.
We believe in a clean kitchen, a
neat wife in it, a spinning wheel, a
clean cupboard, clean dairy and a
clean conscience.
We firmly dishelieve in farmers
that will not improve; in farms that
grow poorer every year; in starving
cattle; in farmers boys turning into
clerks and merchants; in farmers
daughters unwilling to work, and in
farmers ashamed of their vocation,
or who drink whisky until honest
people are ashamed of them.
