Mule teams are getting to be the
 real thing ill Waterbury. Years ago
 Lewis Bcardsley, and later Ralph
 biaKeslee used to have several of them
 put Tor some reason or other they
 kept dimln.shsng until finally tllcy he-
 came something of a curiosity on the
 public streets and the youngsters woii-
 dered what they were. But the mule
 dldnt go to stay. It is returning and
 u appfals to have learned great deal
 durlng It's absence, so much that ore
 would almost think it had been at col
 ege. When some of us were boys it
 vas not safe to come within reach of
 us heels or teeth, but it is quite diff
 ferent now and if it keeps this llp the
 people will begin to trust and respect
 It as they have always trusted and
 respected the horse The mule team
 owned by the Waterbury Ice corpora
 ton is probably the finest ever seen
 In the city. There are three of them
 h1tched under the same waogn and it
 IS caution how they can pull Frank
 y. Larkin has just put another hand
 some one on the the road. They are
 small but we'll trained and can endure
 lots of hardship. A man who knows
 something about beasts of burden told
 representative of this paper that
 while he wouldn't have a mule team
 in his barn he knew that if you could
 get a good one it was very valuable,
 but owing to it's reputation for devil try he never could feel safe in hand
 ling 1t. He was kicked by mule in his fathers yard when he was boy and since that time he had no use for the joker with the long ears." He said he was over twenty-five feet from the animal when it let fly it's heels and hit him in the shoulder and he was laid up for half year and ney- CT fully recovered from the injury. But this was long ago and if the mule has mended its ways and wants to do better than it did when it's educa- tion was not up to the standard, then charges should not be frnmped up and used against it in this age of enlight- enment
 At the automobile shows the wo- men are struck and somewhat puzzled by the fact of the cars being painted in the colors of the prevailing fashion. The secret of it is that the master painters in all the big factories are careful students of the mode and keep posted on what is to be the color vogue in women's wear. Rich shades of se- pia will be a feature in body colors next winter according to Master Pain- ter Roche of the Electric Vehicle Co.,, one of the best posted men in these matters :. The dark carmines and wine colors will be continued, he says, but because they have been in fashion so long the sepias will have fresh pop ularity. One of the most daring, yet handsome color schemes ever devised. has just been bestowed upon Colum- 'bia body by this same Mir Roche. The main scheme Is salmon pink with the panel outlines in straw yellow and the running gear of the same color, striped with sepia flair lines. With the regulation wealth of brass trim mings to boot. the car is one to com mand attention in any crowd.
