A Tribute to the Mule.

(From the New York World
From the landing of mountain artil-
lery and transport mules at Casablanca
war experts predict a forward move
ment into Morocco by the French.
The mules bray is the war note of
the world. Missouri mules in thou
sands were sent to South Africa, where
they helped beat the resistance of the
Beers. Mules fight the little wars of
the South American republics. Mules
chased the Apaches to their lairs.
Mules wore down Chief Joseph of the
Nez Perces. Before that they had a
big share in the civil war.
The mule is not a dashing charger,
but it brings up the ammunition and
the food, and an army travels on it's
stomach. The mule in Morocco is
rapid transit, street car, railroad
wagon, stage coach and automobile
there is no road. 1t can carry light
artillery over mountain passes where
cavalry cannot maneuver. The mule
excels in rough mountain climbing not
because it is wiser than a horse but
because 1t has no nerves. 1t loves a
dizzy path. 1t is nearly possible to
predict what a mule will do in given
1t is a live machine
with something of a machines tough
ness. 1t looks bad for the Morocco
rebels when the mules begin to saunter
their way.

Irish Horses and Athletes.

(From the London Outlook.
The history of horses, especially of
thoroughbreds goes to prove that parts
Of Ireland and Australia are the very
best cradles for horsebreeding in either
Europe or elsewhere, with England as
the second best, perhaps the equal. The
suggestion has been thrown out
that the secret lies in a lime subsoil.
The reason for the supposition is a lit
tie obscure. The present writer has
found that cartridges bred on such soil
are heavier and stronger and, it seems
fly faster than others: but this is hard
~ an analogy that can be applied 10
the horse. There are other curious
analogies. 1t has long been noticed
that the best high jumpers among HUI
man athletes, even when the scene of
their feats is America, are of Irish
descent. 1t is not less certain that the
best jumpers among horses, especial
~ large percentage at Continental
concOurs, derive their origin from Ire
land. with Australia and England as
occasional rivals. From the statistics
energies strong presumptive evidence
that the climate even more than the
breeding skill tends to strengthen the
strain

Eaules in Battle.

OrnithologistS are inclined to discour-
age the idea that eagles are ir the hab-
it of attacking large animals. but a
contest witnessed py an observer dis
pels such theory. The battle was be-
tween an eagle and a stag.
The bird singled out from a herd one
particular buck. which it succeeded in
driving from the rest. 1t struck the
animal with its powerful wings, knock
ing it down and finally killed it. A
still more remarkable spectacle is we'll
authenticated. An eagle attacked a
fawn in the highlands of Scotland The
cries of the little one were answered
by its dam, which sprang upon the ca
gle and struck it repeatedly with its
forefeet. Fawn, deer and eagle rolled
down a declivity, the bird was dis
lodged from it's hold and the fawn res
cued.
Many traditions are extant as to the
carrying off of children by eagles. The
NOSE recent case bearing close scrutiny
is one which happened in South Afri-
ca A Boer farmer whose stock had
been harried by eagles lay in ambush
for the robbers and saw one of them
descend and carry off the five-year-old
child of one of the kaff1r servants. He
shot the bird, which. with the child
still clutched in it's grip. fell into
thorn bush. The bird was dead, but the
child was little hurt.
Two eagles will stalk covert in
While one conceals itself the
other beats about the bushes with great
driving out its quarry for
the hidden eagle to swoop down upon.
An even more insidiouS method has
been observed. An eagle seeing a sheep
on the edge of a precipice flew at it.
shrilly and with forceful
beat of wing hurled it into the valley
below, where it could devour it at its
leisure In the light of such records
there is good reason for believing the
legend of the eagle dropping a tortoise
on the bald head of Aeschylus, the
Greek poet, and so causing death.

After You Are Married.

A great many people sem to think
that the marriage ceremony absolves
them from all further courtesies and
attentions to the person why they have
we'd After that they are always in
negligee, both as to manners and
clothes, when they are at home. This
is fatal mistake. Because a woman
is married is no excuse for her going
untidy about the house, and telling her
husband home truths that hurt his
vanity. Because a woman is his wife
gives a man no right to say things to
her he would not dare to say TO any
other lady who possesses a big, able
bodied brother. Good maners are the
preservation of peace and concord. and
are warranted to keep happiness in
any climate. The problem of how to
be happy though married is really no
problem at all. No mystery should ever
have been made of it. 1t is merely
fair dealing in fair partnership-giv-
ing the other party the privileges and
perquisites you assume for yourself,
and allowing the person you love as
much consideration and civility as you
would show a stranger.

To Button Her Waist Behind.

She stood at the glass and she tried
with her might
To button her waist behind;
The movements she went through were
surely a sight
To button her waist behind:
She would reach and she'd tug; she
would sigh and she'd moan;
And after each effort she'd let out a
groan;
She twisted and squirmed till she
strained every bone
To button her waist behind.
She strained at the risk of ripping her
clothes,
To button her waist behind:
She would take a long breath and then
stand on her toes,
To button her waist behind:
She had a cOntOrtionist beaten mile,
She would bend like a jackknife, then
straighten awhile,
And wonder why nightmares like that
were IN style
The waists that button behind.
For an hour she labored in widest de-
spair
To button her waist behind:
Her face became red and all loosened
her hair,
To button her waist behind:
She wept, and the tears splashed down
In her lap
While for life and its pleasures she
cared not a rap.
When she went TO the office a hideous
gap
Was there in her waist behind.

Mexico's Indian Women.
CFrom Modern Mexico

Vt IOIl MOOGTn MEXICO.
The beauty of Indian women is one
of the charms of Mexico. In the capt.
tai, where the Indian has degenerated
through poverty and mental service. 1t
is less to be remarked than in the
smaller towns and in the country. But
the beautiful faces one takes in mem
DRY away from Mexico are those of
Indian women. Fine eyes are universal
and, what one hardly expects, fine fea-
lures, according to Caucasian stand
ards-broad brows, straight noses, we'll
formed mouths and chins full but not
gross or heavy. The expression is very
generally intelligent, and often one is
struck, both in Indian men and women
with the nobility and refinement of the
countenance. One frequently sees types
among the poems that seem to belong
to some highly civilized ancient caste
an Egyptian priest of royal blood. a
Roman centurion, an Aztec emperor.
The women are gently lovely where
they are beautiful, and the men at their
best in carriage, in manners and in
countenance are strikingly like the
very advanced product of civiliza-
ton.

Roses, that were her dreams, their

Tall Irises, she tended, arch Ger

And tawny lilies, that she smiled on,

Their stalks in scarlet pride; while,

The thrushes all the trees with music

But glad, as if her presence lowered

How to Burn
Gas Coke

In order to use gas coke, kindle the
fire in usual way, and when burning
fairly, fill fire box with deep, even bed of
coke. Owing to it's peculiar fracture and
rough grain it does not pack as closely
as hard coal, and leaves more air space,
retaining its original shape until burned
to ash Keep a large body of coke I'M
der a low fire rather than little coke
under a strong fire. To keep low fire,
close draft in lower part of the front of
furnace, keep slide in feed door open and
damper in chimney pipe almost closed.
The damper with which the fire can be
regulated perfectly, should be opened
only when kindling a new fire, and when
coke is well ignited the draft should be
shut off Keep d layer of ashes on the
CRATE. and when shaking stop before hot
Goals appear. This helps to keep the fire
burning slowly When leaving fire for
the night fill fire box full of coke, shut
off damper and throw on pea coke to fill
ND open spaces, keeping feed door ajar
and leave bed of ashes on CRATE to check
draft. Ashes should not be permitted to
pile I'D below the CRATE so as to touch it.
a furnace that heats poorly with coal on
account of poor draft, will do much bet
fer with gas coke, which requires only
an ordinary draft.
