ONE MULES DISCOVERY.
"uncovers Deposit Of Rotten Stone"
Largest and Best in the
Country,

mark me down on the side OF the
mule" said Frederick NJ. Ware, OF the
American Horse exchange, the other
day, when a lot OF horsemen were dis
cussing the remarks OF Col. Jenkins,
Of the Nebraska national guard, to the
effect that the mule never kicked any
body. and that all the stories of the
perversities OF his heels we're fiction
says the New York Times.
''When was out In Kentucky and IN
diana looking up some horses | ran
across an acquaintance in the parlor
car who had something or other In the
hardware line, believe. AT all events.
he knew all about things you polish
with-llke emery, and tripoli. and
corundum, and those things. Well, he
had a yarn that he swore was a true
one. and that scored one for the mule,
whose friend have always been
He vouehes for the story. don't; but
| do vouoh for him. He knows a man
named Blatchley. who used to be the
state geologlst Of Indiana, and got the
story from him. II runs this way:
In Jackson county, in that state,
was farmer named Harbaugh who
owned a pair Of mules that were good
enough 10 be used as carriage pair,
He used them that way, at all events.
HarbU lgh wed at place called Free
town, and one day he drove over To-
the pasture and fastened his team
OF mules TO tree near little stream
they called Salt creek While Farm
er Harbaugh was away looking after
his men the flies attacked his mules,
and In their frantic efforts to drive the
pests away they paved the earth up
so terrifically thatshe found them COW
cred with fine dust, while all around
them was little piles Of this blush
powder as fine as -four, Harbaugh
didn't know what the dust was. but
he knew II was out Of the ordinary,
for there was a gritty feeling to II.
and he thought he had found new
kind OF polishing material that might
have scfne value At all events, he
scooped up a lot OF Il. sent il up to
Blatehley at indianapolis, for examina
ton, and when he got a report from
him he found that his mules had un-
covered a deposit Of tripoli or rotten
stone. that was worth about five dol
lars ton The deposit on Harhaugh's
farm was some three feet thick, and
turned out to be one OF the largest
and best in the country
Il don't think that Harbaugh's
trlpoli mine made him a rich man. but
the incident proves that the mule Is
worth while In more ways than one,
and that be isn't the worthless cuss SO
many newspaper humorlsts try to
make him out TO be. Ne for the
mules every time"
