SMALL MONEY.
What a Quarter Did.

The person who uses the brain and
nerves actively needs food to rebuild them
and replace the waste, and should not
rest on stimulants. Coffee excites these
organs so they cannot get the necessary
rest and nourishment and steadily tears
them down, then other disorders follow.

THIS Is LIBEL ON MULES
The Western Missouri Court of Ap-
peals Passes on the Animals
Character.
New York Sun Special Service.

New York Sun Special Service.
Kansas City, Jan. THE eWstern Mis-.
souri, court Of appeals has decided that
a mule Is a treacherous and vicious ami,
NAL. and that so well known is this fact
that If a workman is injured because of
those traits Of disposition in the mule, the
employer cannot plead ignorance of the
mules nature as q defense. g...
This decision was made in the case Of
Pete Borden against the Falk Construc-
ton company. Borden worked for the
company. He went beneath heavy ma
chine on wheels to hook a chain. A span
of mules was hitched to the machine, and
of the mules was ordered by the superin-
tendent to go beneath the machine to
help Borden. Thereupon the mules start
ed and one Of the wheels ran over Bor-
denis foot and crushed it. He sued the
Falk company and obtained Judgment that
was affiremed by the court of appeals.
which says:
1.-THE mule is domestic animal whose
treacherous and vicious nature is so gen
orally known that even courts may take
notice Of it. The company cannot be
heard to claim that it did not know Of
the treacherous and unreliable qualities
of this animal. 1t seems to US that the
defendant was guilty of grossest negli-
gence in ordering the teamster to assist
Borden. Any man Of ordinary prudence
under such circumstances, would have not
only placed himself in front Of the mules,
but he would with his hands have firmly
grappled and held the bride bits Of each
of them

Chicago, Jan. An oriental. room or
