MULES OF MEXICO.
They Are Even More Knowing Than
Our Own Meek Brand.

Everybody knows that all mules
are brainy, but the mules Of old Mex
leo have something on other mules for
a sort of prescience of their own" said
a man who has spent many years In
the neighboring republic. "a Mexican
mule will do just 80 much work and
not a blamed bit more.
1.-THE riding mule, for instance, is
fully aware of the distance, down to a
rod, he is supposed and required to
traverse in the progress of one travel
ing day, and all the sharp sticks or
Igoads or dynamite on earth won't get
him II &c a bit more than what he
knows to be the correct distance. The
Mexicans have got a peculiar saying in
connection with this characteristic OF
the Mexican mule. You ask q Mex
lean, for instance, how far 1t is by
mule back to such and such a point.
1.-TWO days journey If you are not
rushed. but three days II you are In a
hurry the Mexican will reply.
"His meaning Is that If you don't
ask more of your mule than you should
ask Of him. the mule will be able to
make the trip In two days. But II you
attempt to drive the brute he'll soldier
ON you, and in consequence the jour
ney will take you three days."-Ex-

BY AUTO TO THE PARK.

Mr.. John 7. Burns, secretary OF the
Industrial Club Of Cheyenne, during a
recent automobile trip from Cheyenne
TO Laramie and short distance west,
conceived the lea that 1t would be
exceedingly profitable TO the state to
have a splendid automobile road from
Cheyenne via Laramie 70 the Yellow
stone National park. He believes that
such Il road would not only advertise
the rtate as nothing else could, but
that 1t would bind together the towns
through which 1t would pass and open
up q section to lovers Of fresh air
hitherto little known. Mr.. Burns Is OF
the opinion that some of the scenery
between this city and Cheyenne sur
passes the famous Garden of the
Gods near Colorado Springs. In dis
cussing the matter the Wyoming Tri-
bune says:

The Deceased wife. Sister.

The law against marrying a deceased
wife's sister. which caused 81 much
discussion in England, grew out Of
the ancient tribal law forbidding a IA
Their to sell more than mi daughter to
the same man when the Briton was
emerging from polygamy and when
for 81 shilllngs Of the present money
a man might dismiss his wife or kill
her II she would not go. As civil law
1t was to protect the living wife and
knit tribes closer together by inter
marriage. When ecclesiastical law be-
came supreme a misleading Of some
Scripture text was used to put the
sister of a mans wife among the pro-
hibited degrees Of relationship. This
was the act of 1541 (32 Henry Wild:

WHAT A FARMER THINKS.

Recently Mr.. Bryan made an appeal
for funds to the farmers of America
and In response an Illinois farmer,
through the Chicago Tribune made the

You say that, II elected. you will only
serve four years, and that promptly
after your term begins you will call
congress in extra session, so that you
can begin to reform the abuses at
once. But If. as you say, nothing can
be done while congress, or even the
senate is under republican control
why convene an extra session, as nj
know the senate cannot possibly
change in less than four years, If then

which were your only prominent ones,

We have never had u presidential can

had to make quirks in his speech OF
acceptance to conceal and v up his
most important views rather than to

"The abuses Of which you speak are

JOHNSON'S CAMPAIGN
IS WARNING Up
FAST
Many Clubs Are Being Formed
Throughout Country and
Delegates Favor Him.
DEMOCRATS BELIEVE
THEY MAY WIN IN FALL

Chicago, April 2O.-Fifty thousand
cards giving an analysis of GOV.
Johnson's vote-getting powers In his
two campaigns for governor OF Min
nesota were sent out to Democrats to-
day from the Johnson headquarters
here. Letters announcing the forma-
ton Of Johnson clubs in all parts Of
the country are pouring in.
There is much satisfaction with
the turn the presidential nomination
contest is taking in the Democratic
party As the Johnson managers see
it, the action of the New York Demo-
cratic convention and that of the
Michigan Democratic state central
committee yesterday marked a signfi-
cant change in the contest.
From now on" said f. Il. Lynch,
who IS in charge of the Johnson
campaign, you will hear much sim
liar news. From now on people who
read the papers will know that there
IS a lively contest on, good natured
though it shall be, so far as We are
concerned, for the Democratic nom
ination at Denver.
THE two official actions Of late--I
refer to the course taken by the New
York state convention and the MiChi-
gan state commttee-are merely in
dications Of what Is going on beneath
the surface. The fact is the rank
and file OF the party are waking up
to the opportunity the Johnson can
didacy affords. They are beginning to
reflect on what a good thing victory
next November would be and to con-
slider that with a new candidate like
Johnson it is not only possible but
probable
another thing that is significant is
that although we have made no effort
whatever to organize in Illinois quite
a number of counties are electing un-
instructed delegates TO the Springfield
state convention. and in all such cases
failure To instruct means that the del
egateS are favorably inclined toward
GOV Johnson. The popular response
We are receiving in Illinois shows US
that had we been in the field a few
months earlier this state could easily
have been lined NJ for Mr.. Johnson,
"Wp are receiving perfect de-
luge If letters from all parts Of the
state, and largely from friends and
supporters Of col Bryan. who believe
that the time has come for new
candidate"

FORTY-SIx STORIES
NOT HIGH ENOUGH
Although Original Plan Called for

New York, April 2O.-New York,s
dream of 50-story skyscraper is
aboIt to be realized, and that in short
time, for by a slight change of plans
the Metropolitan Life Insurance COM
pany's tower at Madison avenue and
Twenty fourth street is to be extended
four more stories.
The changes on the working draw
ings were under way today at the Of
tices of Napolen lie Brun * Sons, ar
chitects in the Metropolitan building.
Although the Metropolitan tower
as originally planned was the tallest
thing in the cloud-p piercing line New
York has seen, the round fifty stories
sounded much more complete and
overshadowing than the almost as
high forty-siX stories which the or
ginal plans called for
ON the first blue prints the Metro
politan tower was shown 65S feet high
above the sidewalk and $50 feet
above the celia floor line and with
its total height above the foundations
69l feet.
In the changed scheme the height
will reach 700 feet above the side
walk line. 715 feet from the lowest
cellar floor, or 726 feet from the
foundation. This will allow for more
than fifty stories high above the street
level and the same two stories below
the surface.
Persons depending on the clock
face for time will have to hire tele-
scopes or so to the top of the Flat
iron building, for the clock face will
be 346 feet above the sidewalk Per-
sons who would enjoy ballooning,
were 1t not for the rocking motion.
Will find what they want by going to
the lockout of the building, which Is
to be on the forty-sixth story, 603
feet high.
The detail of the tower top will
also be changed to meet the new re-
quirements. This work is being done
by the Hadden Construction company
general contractors. and Post & Nc
Cord, structural steel contractors.
