AND Wnen you meet mule OF ass,
Ger burdened on the road;
No matter whether man or beast,
Help tighten up bis load.
Slowly and sadlytwe laid her down,
Nearby little willow,
With tail toward the rising sun
And blanket for pillow.
Ny heart is full of sadness;
Yet not In full despair,
Because of some encouragement;
Doc Rankin said the prayer.
III tarry here a little while,
And hope by saving grace
That | will reach that shining shore,
And meet her face to face-Why
not?
But should my Peggy change hel
mind
And take the other route,
And 90 down to the fires below,
She'll kick the devil out
Peace be to her ashes.

She d stand and kick and kick and
L.

She d stand and kick and kick and
kick
To mansions In the skies:
Until the man that's in the moon
Would blink with both his eyes.
Twas Absalom that rode mule,
Whether Jewish priest or laman-
She went under great big oak
And hung i'm higber'n Haman.
And ever since that sad event,
The curse of Gods upon 'er
Don't get behind kicking mule
Or you will be a gone-r.
OF all tine animals on the earth
Or man, or fowl or beast,
We've every reason to believe
The mule has changed the least.
And when it comes to pedigree
Since Adams slip and fall
We are convinced the mule can show
The shortest one Of all.
Mine was the same old patient mule
Ears, appetite and all,
That scaled the heights of Lebanon
and browsed by lions wall.
| asked her If she would be good
And whispered In her ear
She said SO kindly that she would,
believed her without fear.
She was born in eighteen eighty-four
Which makes her twenty three,
And Just as good a little mule
! AS one could wish to see.
Although without a pedigree
And posterity Without hope,
She was better than a hobby-horse,
! And could out-run an antelope.
The song she sang on ,onder hin,
So long and sad and slow
Was heard in far-off Palestine
Two thousand years ago
1t was the same heart.rendiug song,
Pitched in the same high key,
That woke the humble fisherman
On torm-toSsed Galilee.
Her gentle voice from time remote
Has undergone no change
And when you hear 1t In the night,
1t has the same old range.
The shepherds heard that sad refrail
That wondrous winter night,
When far athwart the eastern sky,
God flashed the worlds new Light
And now we make plea to all,
To cease their loud complaints
Against the songs of long ago,
Which satisfied the saints.
The mule has borne your burden
here
/. So patiently and lony,
That you should bear as patiently,
The burden OF her song.

snow or snow water was put Into the wine. Here Is where we hare the a1- vantage over Rcman in our modern refrigerating methods. which enable us to have ice a all seasons without regard to the product of the winter. But d custom among the Romans. which nowadays seems strange to us. was the admixture of hot water with the wine.
 Special vessels were adopted for heating or keepin. the water hot. and they were very often of very beautiful and elaborate design. There are many and very ingenious varictie, of these urns. each one possessing a space for the hot water, a tube or other receptacle for hot coals, and a tap. Besides their chicf.use of heat ing water for mixing with wine they could be used also for cooking ovens. Great numbers have been dug up in Pompeii and Herculaneum, where in the days of their prime they must have formed beautiful table orna- ments. It is not probable that tho artistic impulse will lead to the re. rroduction cf :hese beautiful ancient models.

Of course, that is moderate fortune alongside those of Rockefeller, Belt and other billion aires. but the Mexican millionaire, 1T Dame Rumor is correct, is about to teach a lesson to many man wno might profitably go and do likewise. If is said that Don Pedro will dis tribute the sum of ten million pesos among the needy poor of Mexico soon.
 It is not his plan to give the cash outright, but to provide homes ana lands for the poor, and equip them so they can earn their living at trades and on plantations. It is sort of CO operative plan; this philanthroplc man will cooperate with Providence in the undertaking that will have the effect of making 10000 MeM- cans independent, educate as many poor children and give away few odd millions every year. Ever since he got his money he has spent large sums along just such lines, and the new idea therefore IS but a broadening of old methods on his part, for he has always been hD- eral to the poor and has erected quite number of churches and school houses where they were needed in the great state of Chihuahua.
