They were talking about rowdy base
ball players in the Pittsburg Club of
fee yesterday when the name of Mike
Donlin was mentioned, quite naturally.
s.Donlin. when of the bali fsld is one
of the finest fellows you would want
to meet said President DFeyfuss.
'.There are bigger rowdles than Mike
on the New York team, but simply
because he has been unlucky enough
to be caught in several bad scrapes
people have come to look upon him as
the worst man in the business. Every
time / read Of Mike having been trip;
ped up / feel sorry for him, because
at heart he Is a mighty good fellow"
Then Pasty Flaherty added this bit
of praise for the Giant outaelder: II
never could bring myself TO believe
all these tales about Donlin, in which
he is painted as rowdy Of the low
est order for 1 know that during a
game Of baseball he is one Of the best
natured boys in the National League.
He is always laughing and Joking with
the other players and / have yet to

is at least obvious that the country
has not been in a hurry to honor his
memory, for the spot where his body
was laid to rest was for many years
forgotten. Last spring the sexton of
the Pine Street Presbyterian church,
Philadelphia, found the tombstone
originally erected at the head of his
grave. 1t had become half buried in
moss and underground. The local
chapter of the Daughters of the Amer

Kansas City the Greatest Mule Mar
ket In the World.

ket In the World.
Growing mules in Kansas and Mis-
souri, is now one Of their leading in
dustries. and Kansas City is the great
est mule market in the world. Raising
mules has many advantages over the
horse industry. The market for mules
Is as staple as that for hogs or cattle.
They are ready for market at three
years old or before. They do not have
to be broken, but are just driven to
the station and shipped like cattle.
They are usually sound and seldom
get hurt They seem TO know enough
to steer clear of barbed wires, and II
they do get against it they stop, never
get excited and tear themselves to
pieces. Just now they are in great de-
mand at good prices; 800 TO $50 is
about the price paid. 1t costs less to
raise mules than colts, and they are
more quiet and seldom give trouble
by breaking out of Enclosures
WEAVING mules readily sell at $50 to
SIS. and $50 is considered ample pay
for cost of keeping until ready Tor
market. They can never be induced to
eat as much grain as horse and sell
dom eat enough to hurt themselves.
AS soon as they are two years old
they are kept on the best pasture and
fed about all the grain they will eat,
and as soon as fat and slick they are
ready for the market, and buyers are
always ready and waiting for them
For these reasons 1t will readily be
seen that mules give far more GER
tain and greater profit than horses, and
I often wonder that eastern farmers
do not give them more attendon.-E-

What Water Did.

A certain liquor dealer, hard head
ed old Scot, grew rich in the trade.
After he had grown rich the old man
built himself q fine house, limestone
mansion on the hill, with park
around it, with Conservatives, stables
and outbuildings-in a word, a palace.
One day the old Scot rode in the omni-
bus past his fine house. A temperance
man pointed up at the grand edifice
and said, with a sheer, 1T was the
whisky built that, wasn't it?'' Ma, ma,
man; the water" the Scot answered.
