"You have?' inquired the man
with the figurative nose.
II have. / can demonstrate beyond
the peradventure of doubt that the
mule as we know it, is developed from
a fish.
'.Whaty'
1T is logical Now, you take the
ordinary pike or pickerel and notice
its facial contodr. 1t has the tiatten-
ing of tile frontal bone and the large
mouth which are so characteristic of
the mule. Its eyes also, are of that
deep, crafty expression peculiar to the
mule. It's backbone is long and ridged
and its tail is stubby, like mule S.
To be sure, it must have taken centur-
les of slow development to evolve the
mule. Probably it was ten thousand
years before the legs we're developed
and the scales changed to hair. The
dorsal fin, of course, was transposed
into the narrow name which is on the
mules neck.
"But pike or pickerel doesn't eat
thistles, argued the man with tht
