IN DEFENSE OF THE MULE.
New York Sun

The industry and intrinsic value of
the American hen have been so often
lauded on the floors Of Congress that it
Is relief to hear a modest tribute to
the usefulness OF the American mule.
In the Senate on April 20 Mr.. Aldrich,
of Rhode Island was confuting the
statement of Mr.. Beveridge, OF Indiana,
that England would not have over
come the Beers without her navy, when
Mr.. Nelson of Minnesota, was recos-
nized, and said;
| desire 10 call the Senator's atten-
ton TO the fact that the American
mules which the British succeeded in
getting into the Boer country enabled
them to triumph In that war
The truth Is that the mule, In spite
OF the blot upon his escutcheon and
the handicap of small feet, a rat tail,
and ears that excite laughter, Is flrst
in peace, being found on every farm
and In every railway cut, and first IN
war as n feeder of armies and hauler
of guns, baggage, and medical supplies.
The hen makes more noise over the
laying Of one egg than is heard from a
mule I'm a whole campaign.
Tho hen Ia all very well as a
contributor to the breakfast table, but
for general utility and homely worth
she is not TO be mentioned IN the same
breath with the American mule. May
his ungainly shadow never grow less!
