IL was at Tampa when a negro
teamster was instantly killed by an
army mule. and II furnished a good
illustration OF the wonderful memory
that a mule has.
The negro teamster used to
pound that mule numerically In
stead OF using strategy and coaxing
his mule into submission. he used
to beat 1t hard enough to kill a
horse. Well, for two months the
teamster didn't drive that mule But
the mule never forgot him. He
never made any attempt TO injure
his new driver, who knew enough
to treat him deoently But one day
the old teamster came back The
mule remembered him He waited
with as mucn docility and patience
as an OK until he was harnessed, and
then. when the old teamster was off
his guard he let fly with both heels.

stomach, and stretched him out as

Zinc Courtesy In AInskn.

Life in Alaska is uncouth in parts,
but it has its refnements. In Val
dee there lived a man named Jake"
who kept a boarding house for dogs.
When the prospectors returned from
their sled trips they would place their
teams in his charge until ready to
start out again. AS he fed his guests
on garbage gathered by house-to-
house canvass he was known by ev-
cry one as "Slop Jake"
Once upon a time he fell i'll and
the newspaper wished to chronicle
the fact. No one. however, knew
"Jake's' other name. and it didn't
seem worth while to waste the time
of the editorial staff on so insignlf-

. printed thus:
"Our well-known fellow-citizen, S
Jake, is confined to his house with
a severe cold II is hoped he will
be out soon."-N Y Times.

Blind Men Seldom Smoke.

Blind men seldom smoke. Those
who were inveterate smokers in their
sighted days find that after losing
their sight a pipe or cigar has no
attraction for them, The man who
has no eyes to watch the smoke curl
and drift about his head apparently
has no use for a cigar
Smoking to the absolutely blind
is something different from smoking
in the dark. Besides, few persons
smoke in total darkness. Usually
there is starlight or freight enough
to enable man to keep track of the
smoke. When deprived of that fasci-
mating pastlme the cigar loses its
charm. and the man who is blind re-
signs himself to a smokeless old age.
