rHg CAPTAINS MULES.

April the twenty-second,
That great and noted day,
When through the Land of promise
Our horses ran away.
There were some fast Bohemians,
And mules one lovely pair;
They beat the mounted squadron
OF course they DID II fair.
There were men OF every color.
OF every race and tribe;
There. on the South Canadian,
We started side by side.
Except those loaded wagons
With plunder. grub and tools.
They filed their crew for Mustang.
Led by a pair OF mules;
Twelve hundrd to the wagon
This was the average load;
Thirteen miles the distance,
And very rough the road
In less than fifteen minutes.
If they obeyed the rules
They only touched In places.
This famous pair of mules.
Dark brown is the color
Fifteen in their stocking feet;
A person just to look at them
Would thic!t them easy TO beat.
Their owner got to Mustang
And dug dozen holes
Before race horses got in sight
OF this fast pair of mules.
Some We're skillful stock men--
The saddle was their home:
With horses well selected,
Bred and trained to run.
When they'd run half the distance
They dropped their heads like fools
They got in sight of Mustang
And saw the Captains mules.
II is well TO have n transit
With such a dashing speed:
Locate all your kinfolks
And satisfy your greed
Get M a special monarch
And fix Nebraska pools.
Wrhich could only be accomplished
With such pair OF mules.
There is nothing in the stock line
Has ever been produced:
/ Nor nothing on the race track
Has ever been turned loose.
Nor nothing found in training
In old Kentucky schools
thn anything like equal
This dashing paid OF mules.
Men may work with lightning;
Inventors learn to fly;
The world In editorials
May boast of Nellie Bly,;
~
The specials on their east lines
With Vanderbilts or Goulds,
! But none can make the record
or Captain Cahas' mules.
g
If another country opens,
As will likely be the case.
And Congress makes a blunder
To have another race.
I'll bow in sweet submission.
And obey the rules,
I}ut organize a company
And buy the Captains mules.

Hereditary Divorce,

AS matter of fact, divorces run
b families The children of a d.
Sorcsd mother are the likeliest them
selves TO contract alliances which the
law will have to sever. There have
been numerous instances OF families
n sisters or brothers who have gone
through the divorce courts In almost
unbroken succession. This phenom.
snon sheds some light on the true
causes of divorce and suggests that
very large proportion Of the separa-
lions which the law countenances are
Que not to an initial fatal mistake"
nor to complete "incompatibility. nor
even to the actual misdeeds of either
party, but to mental and tempera-
mental pecuiliarities. Not the insti-
tuition OF marriage Is at fault, says
Chicago Sun, not the mistaken union
Of antipathetic personalities, but the
human nature Of one party or the
other to the compact Divorces are
prevalent in certain families. So are
hcorrigible levity, disagreeable dis
positions, uuwillingness to abide the
consequences of deliberate act, a
deficient philosophy.

Relic OF the Mayno,yer.

Probably few are aware of the fact,
but direct descendant of a signer of
the declaration of independence and a
man who crossed to the new world in
the Mayflower is living in Denver. She
is Lula Electa Bartlett, great grand
daughter of Josiah Bartlett, who sign
ed the declaration of independence.
Her great great great grandfather was
one of the men who faced privation
and hunger to cross the water in the
Mayfiower.
Elisha Bartlett remained on the soil
him that Miss Lula Electa is descend
ed.
Although the Bartletts who came be-
fore her ranked with the elite of so
ciety and aristocracy, she is happy and
content to earn her living working as
a seamstress.
Miss Bartlett spends her evenings
with many other lonely young women
in the Young Womens Friendly Club,
2243 California street, and she lives
in the simplest manner.
The home of the Bartlett family has
been broken up. The mother died when
they lived in Hastings. Neb., and the
family scattered. The only son is in
Kansas City, one daughter is in Los
Angeles with her father and the fourth
and last member of the family is toll
ing daily in Denver.
One of the most precious wedding
presents received by Miss Bartlett's IA
the. and mother when they were mar
ried in 1856 was potrion OF a set of
dishes brought to America by the Bart
lett brothers in the Mayfower. These
are the last dishes that are known to
exist which came over in the old ship
