Many a mother makes the mistake OF
sympathizing too much with her little
one over the small accidents that keep
happening. They magnify every little
bump into a tragedy, with the result
that the baby grows UP prone to self
pity and to expect pity from others.
Children have a strong sense of the
dramatic. They love to find them
selves the central figure. with mother,
father, grandmother and the other
children all admiring or bewailing. I'm
consciously they will magnify an min
portant hurt in order TO attract to
themselves the attention they crave.
To teach a child TO laugh at disaster is
one OF the best lessons he can learn

The American M Mule.

The historic glory Of the MatanZas
mule furnished an ample vindication Of
the warlike qualities Of his race, and
now, in the face of Western Judge
who recently handed down decision
impugning the character Of the Ameri-
can mule, the Bureau Of Animal Indus.
try is sounding the praises of this ami
NAL. Recently the foreign demand for
the American mule has been so great
that the bureau has interested itself in
the matter. 1t does not seek to dis
courage expectation, but to encourage
farmers to 60 more thoroughly into the
raising of mules. Ten years ago the
number Of mules exported from the
United States was only 1865, and their
value $13S,591. From that small be.
ginning the traffic grew. 1t did not
take the American mule long in the
countries in which he was tried to
demonstrate his sturdy worth, so that
the expectation now is running from
10000 to 10000 a year, the average
value ranging from $3,00O,000 to $4,.
100000. The Government scientists
who have been collecting data on this
topic are proud of the fact that the for
eign trade of the United States in
mules is exclusively an export trade.
The mule, as America knows him, tire.
less in peace and not readily bluffed in
war, cannot be imported. America is
his present habitat, and hither come
the nations seeking his help in their
campaigns. Primarily it has been the
mules stoical service in battle that has
raised his reputation and his market
value. In addition. it has been found
by the foreign nations that the animal
in peace was equally indispensable,
and consequently the American mule is
being installed not only in the military
reservations of all Europe, but also in
the countless avenues of industry
