prevented her until rescuers arrived.
SHIPPENSBURG. Pa. April 22.-Miss
Nav McMurray. while visiting this town
with her mother. had a novel experience
resulting from the wearing of a Merry
Widow hat OF pronounced type and trim
mings. Walking along one Of the prir-
cipal streets with her sister, she met a
team of mules hauling a stone wagon.
The ladies became frightened at the
rearing and pitching of the OF mule OF
the lead pair The animal fixed its eyes
as though in terror upon Miss McMurray
and SHE'D so as to force the entire team
upon the sidewalk and dangerously close
to a plate-glass window. In vain the
driver tugged at the reins and hailOed.
The animal could not be controlled.
Becoming greatly alarmed. the ladies
turned and ran. At once the mule be-
came tractable. only to renew its strange
antics when the team again approached
the ladies. 1t then dawned upon Miss
McMurray that her hat was terror-inspir-
ing. Thereupon she turned with her COM
panion down side street, much to the
relief Of the teamster, who experienced no
further trouble, and to the mule. which
could be heard hee-hawinG as though it
also were relieved.
