VARIETIES OF MULES.
The Classification Depends Upon the
Work They Are to Do.

The Classification Depends Upon the
Work They Are to Do.
1.-THE classification of Missouri's
great product, the mule, is the hardest
of all live stock" said dealer to a
Kansas City Star reporter.
ITO most people the animal is SIM
ply mule, with strong inclination to
emphasize his presence with kick.
To most buyers he is good or bad, large
or small, smooth or rough, will prob
ably bring a certain price on the mar
Among dealers who supply the differ
ent demands he is classified according
to weight, bone, size, color, age, mouth,
teeth, broken or unbroken, length and
breadth and also in regard to the To-
cality of the buyer In the first place,
green, unbroken mules are never want
ed. Once in awhile we receive few
and generally have to sell them at
sacrifice. The principal classes Of
mules known to the market are cotton
mules, lumber mules, railroad mules,
sugar mules, farm mules, levee mules,
city mules and miners Miners are
classed as surface and pit mules.
Cotton mules are the commonest
kind in regard to number. Their build
makes little difference so long as they
are smooth. Lumber mules are the
largest, heavy boned, rugged grades,
1873 to 1862 hands or better. They are
used in the big lumber camps for log
ging and must have the weight for
good heavy pulling Similar to the
lumber mule is the railroader. He
Is used in grading, hauling and all
the work that is known in the construc-
ton Of railroads. Sugar mules be-
long to the fancy class. They must be
smooth, built rangy, small head and
neck, small bones. Farm mules vary
in size, but are formed from the reject
ed ones of the foregoing classes.
"Levee mules, as the word implies,
are used near steamboats, and docks
for the heavy work. They are general
ly single workers and must be of the
rugged class. Their looks matter little
SO long as they are sound and fit for
hard work. A city mule includes the
small. light grade, such as you see on
delivery and transfer wagons. The
high prices in the last year have re-
duced the number greatly.
''The miners are the hardest class to
supply. They must be either a dark
bay or black in color. White and sor-
rel mules are never used. Where the
mines have long shafts, in the Penn
sylvania coal regions especially, they
say white mule resembles a ghost
and frightens the other mules beyond
control. The pitters must be long in
body, heavy boned and have good
weight.
'"rhe government buys all classes of
mules, but that is done according to
contract, and prices hold wide range.
1t never buys low priced animal, and
1t is rigid in Its examinations"

The Davidson Divorce Suit.

Mrs. Eliza c. Davidson, wife of former
Mayor Robert c. Davidson, of Baltimore,
whom she has sued for absolute divorce,
the bill naming Gertrude Schmidt as CO.
respondent, states that Gertrude Schmidt
is unknown to her.
"The iutimation has been made" said
Mrs. Davidson, 'that l have consented to
the use OF the name of Gertrude Schmidt
to shield Laura B. Noyes under the
promise of large alimony. l neither
wish nor intend to shield such woman.
Laura B. Noyes, formerly of Port De-
post, Md, and now of Black Hall. Conn.,,
is the correspondent, she being the woman
that Mr.. Davidson left Baltimore with
last May. They went to Montreal, and
from there to Val NORM, Canada, fifty
eight miles beyond, and boarded with E.
H. Durham. Mr.: Davidson himself told
me that he was not in Europe at all dur
ing the summer.
81 am well aware of the plan to substi-
tute the name of Gertrude Schmidt TO
save Laura B. Noyes, and am not going
to submit to it. Her name should be in
the bill as correspondent.
sMr. Davidson has contributed nothing
to my support since May 8. save one
check of $I37.5o The divorce proceed
ings appear to have caused surprise. in
view of my former announcement that l
would not sue, but this second desertion
decided me to take this step. l under
stand that Mr.. Davidson is now in New
York and has been seen frequently with
Laura Noyes."
