The mule is ready to begin work two or three years earlier than the horse. He can be put to pretty heavy pulling when he is three years old. and from that time until he is forty, If he has fair treatment and does not meet with an occident. he is not likely to lose any, time He Is not subject to the many ailments to which the horse is vic tim, at least not to any great degree. He lives about twice us long. and his actual period of usefulness is nearly, three times as long, for the horse is really not fit for heavy service until he is five years old or after he Is twenty. while a mule will often do good service for forty years, and they have been known to work fifty. according to one writer, without being turned out at any time during all that long period. { Like the ass, the mule will live upon nerr to nothing. and during all his for, ty years of hard service a mule will not require-and generally does not get

ToIstot, Bicycle ana . Theory.
 Tolstoi seems to have carried his the ories into practice even in the smallest details of life. On one occasion he mounted bicycle belonging to that aristocratic son of his. He soon mas tered the art of balance and was de- lighted with the swift, smooth motion. His wife noticed his enjoyment and immediately offered to give him a ma- chine. Tolstoi at first accepted, but on reconsidering the matter he decided that as other less favored mortals could not afford to possess bicycles he had no right to one either. So he de elined the gift and renounced the pleas ant exercise.-London M. A. P.

In the total absence of any organic disease
he would surely recuperate and recover,
but these expectations were not to be
realized. Emaciation continued to be
rapidly progressive. There was no appe-
tite and what he did eat did not seem
to assimllate. The case became more and
more grave. Mental weakness began TO
show itself In several ways. His morbid
sensibility to sounds and the disordered
sense OF smell. which caused him to COM
plain OF offensive odors, which did not
exist, directed DR.. Ginn's attention TO the
brain as the seat of danger. DR.. CHM came
to Omaha for the purpose Of giving me his
views OF Mr.. Morton's case and he then
thought he saw, as results have shown
that he actually did see, dangerous troubles
with the nerve %centers, which, as he be-
lleYed. to put 1t in plain English, were
not receiving a sufficient supply OF nutri-
tion. Soon thereafter II was decided by
the sons that Mr.. Morton must be re-
moved to Lake Forest, the home of his
son Mark, where he could have the benefit
OF change of scene, with the highest medi-
cal attention and service. He was ac-
companied by Mark. his son, and his de-
voted sister. Miss Emma Morton. DR..
Billings of Chicago was Immediately
called to see Mr.. Morton, and DR.. Havens
OF Lake Forest became his attending physl-
clan. The case bafied the skill OF Or.
Billings and his verdict was in these
words: There is nothing the matter with
Mr.. Norton This was a cheering state
ment from a physician so eminent, but re.
ports from Or. Ravens showed plainly
enough that physical and mental weakness
and cancellation continued. Other medical
counsels were summoned. The case re-
manned a mysterious one, but they did
not have to wait long for the fatal solu-
tion Of the problem.
Mr.. Morton was taken out a pleasant
day for a drive through the beautiful town
on the shore OF Lake Michigan, accom-
panied by his sister and nurse. Returning
to his home. all OF a sudden his mental
faculties gave way. The crisis was on.
Two eminent physicians were M
from Chicago. The diagnosis now was
easy and the disease was announced TO he
cerebral thrombus-I will call II inclrient
apoplezy-which was followed by that
disease in two successive shocks which
ended the important life OF j. Sterling
Morton.
My own opinion OF Mr.. Morton's case I
do not hesitate to give for what It is
worth. The seizure In Chicago. to which I
have heretofore alluded, was apoplectic
without what medical men call lesion. This
means that no artery Of the brain was
either permanently congested or ruptured
at that time. I also believe that the It's
sues Of the brain were involved in such
changes from that day that It led up to
his death from apoplexy.

dressed in gray. with drab slouched hats.
Davis wore a thin. dark overcoat. His
hair and beard are not so gray as has
been represented. and he seems very much
less worn and broken by anxiety and labor
than Mr.. Blair reported when he returned
from Richmond last winter.
The parties were not informed that they
we're to be removed to the fortress until
General Miles went on board the Clyde, but
they had before learned generally what
was their destination. From his stan on
GERS Davis parted yesterday, shedding tears
at the separation. The same scene has
Just been renewed at his parting from Har-
rison, his private secretary, who left at l
o'clock for Washington. In leaving his
wife and children he exhibited no great
emotion. though he was violently affected.
He told her she would be allowed to see
him in the course OF the day. Clay took
leave Of his wife In private. and he was
not seen by the officers. Both asked to
see General Halleck, but he will not see
them.
The arrangements for the security Of the
prisoners seem to me as complete as could
be desired. Each one occupies the inner
room OF a casemate. The window Is heavily
barred. A sentry stands within before each
Of the doors leading into the outer room.
These doors are to be grated, but are now
secured by bars fastened on the outside.
Two other sentries stand outside OF these
doors. An of1cer is always on constant
duty in the outer room, whose duty Is to
see his prisoners every fifteen minutes.
The outer door Of all IL locked on the out
side and the key is kept exclusively by the
general oficer OF the guard. Two s%entries
are also stationed without that door. A
strong line OF sentries cuts of all access
to the vicinity OF the classmates. Another
line is stationed on the top Of the parapet
overhead and g third line is posted across
the meats on the counterscarp opposite the
places Of confinement.
The m on each side and between
those occupied by the prisoners are used as
guard rooms, and soldiers are always there.
A lamp is constantly kept burning In each
OF the rooms. The furniture OF each pris-
oner is a hospital bed with Iron bedstead,
a chair, a table and a movable stool closet,
A bible is allowed to each. l have not
given orders to have them placed in irons,
as General Halleck seemed opposed to It,
but General Miles is instructed to have
letters ready as he thinks them necessary,
The prisoners are to be supplied with SOL
diers' r~ations, cooked by the guard. TheiI
linen will be Issued to them IN the same
way. / shall be back tomorrow morning

OMAHA, May 3.-To the Editor OF The

OF the insidious nature of his disease may
not be without melancholy interest TO
many. I shall avoid the use OF medical
terms in making 1t.
saw Mr.. Morton at intervals from the
time of the death of his beloved son, Carl.
in January, 1901, up to the time Of his own
death. I clearly observed and remarked
upon his loss Of flesh from time to time and
also Of his mental v~ivacity. In November
last he prepared and delivered the address
at the Live Stock exhibition in Chicago,
which cost him much painstaking labor.
The address itself was one of the strongest
and best OF his productions and showed no
falling OF OF his intellectual yigor. Added
to this labor was his editorial work on the
Conservative, which was manifestly becom-
ing irksome and burdensome to him..
The weather at the time was Indictment at
Chicago and It is now known that ne be-
came suddenly Ill while there from an at
tack in which he lost consciousness for a
longer or shorter interval, which was called
f~ainting. This attack was accompanied by
chill and was followed by deep-seated
