SAYING A WORD FOR MULE.
Missouri Animal Shown to Have Many
Points of Excellence.


In many respects the mule is the noblest
beast that has been placed under mans do
minion but unjust ridicule for some unao-
countable reason marked the long-suffering
brute for it's own and by obscuring his
many virtues and playing upon his few de-
fects and idiosyncrasies has compelled him
since the day he was discovered by Anah
in the wilderness to live under the torture
Of false and slanderous report. At last.
however, he is being restored to his proper
position in the social and economic world
In truth the mule. If he happens to be a
Missouri product Is a valuable, beautiful
and lovely beast For general all round
purposes, in comparison with the horse.
mules are superior. They are easy and
cheap to raise. easy to sell and hard to
blemish. They 60 to the market early and
bring bigger profits for the time. work
and money expended in growing than any
other stock. Time and hard work have
less effect upon them than upon any other
kind Of flesh Disease rarely touches them
Adversely and hard knocks make them
stronger and tougher.
A mule does not wither or weaken with
age. The process Of years simply turns his
coltish friskiness to oOntemplative sedate-
ness. his silvery voice to a raucous roar and
his obstreperous heels to the paths Of peace.
His habits. as they are better understood.
are less feared and more appreciated. He is
tractable, gentle. sympathetic and very In
telligent. When well treated he loves his
Quixote. ana many old negroes in the south
have proved.
He eats little and requires no shelter and
tolls to the bitter end without complaint or
fatigue. He quickly understands the whims
Of his driver and will go and can be guided

whatever we enjoy or suffer is exaggerated

For ten weeks r,lmors have been in cir

Federation OF Musicians Is Likely to Have

The American Federation Of Musicians,
n trade union not especially well known in
this city, appears TO DE following closely
the lead OF the Musicians Mutual Pro-
tective Union, which is widely known here.
as 1t has warned the members of bands
engaged for the coming commencement
exercises at Princeton University that they
must not play there If the United States
Naval Academy Band in present. This is
said to be in accordance with the rule of
the Federation that forbids union musician
to take part in any function where a band
plays which is wholly or partly composed
Of men in the United States service. The
Musicians Mutual Union has tried re-
peatedly to prevent the employment OF
the members of the Marine Band on nom
official occasions. but has failed. The Feder-
alton is playing the same dog in e-nanger
game.
The Princet onians who have cont cted
with the Federation bands have threatened
to sue If the bandsmen do not keep their
word, and it seems likely that the chief
result of the difficulty will be the celebra-
ton of the Naval Academy musicians at the
expense of the union players

directing them to refuse to accept engage
ments to play in parades if the band OF the
Government Military Academy at West
Point is to be in line. The objection to
the musicians who wear Uncle Sans uni
form is that they do not belong to the union.
and their wages are below the union scale.
The order has been received with much
dissatisfaction by members Of the local
union. Many will refuse to obey it,
