FAvORS THE MULE.
Auto Not In 1t With Missouri
"Bird Of Freedom

The more Missouri sees of the auto
mobile the better it likes the mule,
says a writer in Youths Companion.
This at least is the verdict OF Post
master Wilson of Macon, whose advice
about horseless carriages on rural de-
livery routes had been solicited by an
Illinois man. The reply was, "Stick
to the mule
The Missouri bird of paradise, he
wrote, will go where no auto would
dare to tread. He will haul you over
those ffty.three clay hills on time or
kick holes through them and 60 under.
Nothing will discourage him. You
never have to stop to fix him. You
don't have to take IL monkey wrench
and kit of burglar tools along. A
good stout club is the only instrument
he has any respect for.
There's DO danger OF his blowing up.
Difficult roads only inspire him to
greater efforts. After colliding with
tree Or brick house the auto is sent
to the junk shop, but the mule is only
brighter aud gayer and stronger after
each collision. It's things that he
runs against that goes to the scrap
pile.
A mule oats more than an autOmo-
bile, but he gives greater results.

Jack Eckert, who lives near Grange

Mantle together, inserted the cap and
fuse In one stick. tied the death deal
lug bundle around the horses neck and
lighted the fuse. Then he started for
the orchard, about sixty yards away.
The farmer hadn't gone far when he
heard something behind him, and turn

with fright at the Sizing fuse, trotting
close to his heels as energetically as II

Eckert settled down and did some
wonderful running. The barbed-wire
fence which separated the orchard from
the barnyard he vaulted like II school

hurdle racing, struck the fence, and
then something happened. When Eek

In the first opening of Oklahoma
to settlers in 1889, the editor Of this
paper was among the many seekers
after fortune who made the big race
one fine day in April. Daring his
travelling about aud afterwards his
camping upon his claim, he encount-
cred much bad water, which, togeth-
er with the severe heat, gave him a
very severe darrhoea which 1t
seemed almost impossible to check,
and along in June the case became
so bad he expected to die. One day
one of his neighbers brought him
one small bottle of Chamberlain's
Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Rene
dy as a last hope. A big dose was
given him while he was rolling
about on the ground in great agony,
and ia few minutes the dose was
repeated. The good effect Of the
medicine was soon noticed and
within an hour the patient was TAX
ing his first sound sleep for fort
night. That one little bottle worked
