Mules Need Profanity.

Newcastle. Pa. July TO- Local
Welsh folks who have Just returned
from visiting their native land say the
great religious revival that has been
sweeping over that country renders
1t almost impossible to work the coal
mines, for the mules refuse TO haul tho
coal from the pits. Formerly the
miners and drivers urged the mules
to their best efforts by liberal use of
profanity the mules bending to their
tasks to the tune of blood curdling
oaths. Since the revival in Wales the
miners refuse to swear at the mules
and the animals are so bewildered they
don't know what's expected Of them.
So they stand still and when the lash
is laid on merely hump their backs.
