' MuIiSh.

There are persuasive ways even for
dealing with a stubborn mule. At the
entrance to the subway extension
near Trinity church the other morn.
ing negro driver tried to persuade
his impressive steed to enter the cage
in which he was to be lowered down
the shaft. The mule approached the
cage, but not nearer than two feet.
There he stopped, and no amount of
patting, tugging or kicking availed to
move him forward, II ~
Finally the driver Invested himself
of his coat and tied it about the
mules eyes, But that wasn't enough.
The sagacity of the kickaD was too
great, and he again stopped on the
edge of the. cage The mule was led
away and turned around several times
TO mix him up. He was not to be
mixed.
Then the cage was moved and the
driver led his mule blindfolded all the
way around the block. This time he
was fooled and was in the hated cage.
It had taken an hour and amused at
least q thousand passersby. New

in physicks that it is useful for him
and also that hee hath received a
lycense from the courts for. the same.
And for the regulating of those
who either by THERE former taking it
have, to THERE apprehensions, made
it necessary to them or upon due adj
vice are persuaded to the use Thereof,

ment to each particular court of such
as they do understand and can convict
to be transgressors of this order"

Turn Away Anger
George Grey Barnard, the sculptor,
is hard at work in France, in the town
of Moret, upon his decorations for the
state capitol at Harrisburg.
An American visited Mr.. Barnard s
studio in September and, while he
was watching the sculptor modelling, a
strange looking figure reeled past the
WindOw-a long-halred man in a velvet
coat, with a bottle of wine in each
hand This figure paused in the quiet
street, took a sip from each of the
bottles and went on again. ---.-~-.~.--

visitor.
*'That is the town drunkard," said
Mr.. Barnard. He is a person of tax

it is dangerous, in conversation, to

A night editor in New York was
talking about the late Amos J. Cum.
mings.
when Cummings" he said, "was
beginning his newspaper life he had
the good fortune to attract the atten.
ton OF the leading editor of the day.
This editor took him up, pushed him
along and paid him a good salary.
THE editor was absent-minded and
he never could remember that Cum.
mings' first name was Amos. Asa
was the nearest he could come tC
Amos, and the wise young Cummings
listened in silence to sentences from
him that began:
ASA, write good story about
- or Look here, Asa, can you get
up a story on or ASA, I like your
work. I am going to raise your sal.

One day Cummings had occasion tc
call at the editors home. He was
ushered into the parlor, and he laid
his hat, gloves and stick on the mar.

die of the room.

men began long, interesting and i'm.

editors wife swept into the parlor.

her hands Cummings cane, hat and

out of the window. Then she stalked

1t was Dams first, and his citation
vas not surprising.
In about half an hour, however, the
smile came off and a look OF anxiety

"Sure, Dan! Go long," said the fore

his face was picture of amazement.
