uNiMAcINATIVE MULES.
This Fact Ono Of the Reasons OF Thei
Value.

This Fact Ono Of tho ReRsons OF Their
Value.
"Mules are utterly without any sort
of Imagination" said an old veterinary
surgeon, "and this fact alone has
placed humanity under an immense OBJ
,igition to this creature. Many acct
dents have been prevented, many lives
have been saved because of the fact
that the mule does not know this ex-
traordinary thing we call imagination.
The imaginative faculty is not I'M
known in certain other orders OF life.
Dogs frequently show evidences OF i'm
agination. They hear imaginary
sounds because of some peculiar asso-
citation. Dogs have been known to
bristle up at shadows or at certain ma
tural formations which suggested the
idea of immediate attack.
Every owner Of dog IL familiar
with the dogs dreaming habit. Horses,
too, imagine things and dream q great
deal. They have that more delicate
and more sensitive temperament which
developes the imagination, and the fac
ulty for dreaming. But the mule never
imagines anything. He never dreams.
ne believes simply in what he can see,
feel, smell, hear and taste. When the
possibility of these senses are exhaust
ed he is at the end of his row, as far as
his mind goes. He rarely shows ner-
vousness, and even at trying moments.
at critical times, he simply deals with
the situation with stoical Indifference,
making no effort to go beyond the
range of the five senses. This fact has
made him a safe member. For instance,
men who are in the habit OF riding
through dangerous parts Of the coun-
try, through mountainous regions
where there is almost constant danger
Of falling over a precipice, would rath-
er be astride species of the mule
tribe. He is safe-footed in the first
place, and makes no guesses. You SIM
ply cannot force him into place where
he will lose his balance, and possibly
his life and the life of his rider. He is
not going to shy around things like a
horse will. 1t is not matter OF cour-
age with him. He is not gamer than
the horse. But he is simply safer be-
cause he does not imagine vain things.
HE believes in the five senses at his
command, and puts implicit trust In
them. He never dreams, and this fact
has, no doubt, saved many lives under
circumstances which would have work.

that was ever built on sand. The clat-

again, but the nursery spirit remained
with them. They once more had tho
frank fearlessness of children and

ruins of his hotel
For an hour they built and rebuilt
all kinds of houses to the infinite de-

what should be built.

So, rs there were plenty Of blocks to

who could finish first But 1t was
peculiar thing that Jack built with
his left hand and Ethel with her right
while each leaned on the hand that was
supposedly disengaged. But an obser-
YER less interested in building than
Gus might have noticed that the two
hands not used in building were try

and occasionally the fingers intertwin-
cd In way that brought the color
to the cheeks Of the two young people,

A gentle squeeze of the hand was the
only response.
"Then it is settled" he exclaimed, in
O. trembling voice, glancing at the
back of an averted head. First to the
church and then to my cottage"
Another pressure Of assent.
Just what would have happened
next, in spite of the presence of Gus,
will never be known, for his mother,
who had entered the room unnotlced,
suddenly exclaimed:

They both sprang to their feet In
