GET US THOSE MULES
They Belong ts Arizona and We Don't Propose to Be Beat Out of Them.
 We'll Stand by Cowgirl

Two large and husky specimens of the specie Missouri, genus mule, offered AS prize at the irrigation con- gress by $ D Hand of Los Alamns, are causing ss much of fuss as If they were registered thorcughbreds, says the Albuquerque Journal. Mir. Hand, it will be remembered, offered span of three-year-old mules valued at $75O for the best collective exhibit O: wheat and oats raised on single farm. The prize winning exhibit was made by a farmer of Maricopa county, Arizona.
 The award was announced, but ir the meantime Mir Hand has also an nounced with some ssperity that h' offered the mules for the best wheat and oats raised m New Mexico; anc says he isn't raising mules for the peO pie of Arizona: MT. Hano stands pa and says the board of control made [ | mistake. Meanwhile the Phoenil
 Board of Trade has instructed Sacre' tary Cowgirl to get those mules, If i takes the attorney general oi tin United States and the standing army At present it looks as if the board o control would be the fall guy unles it can be proven that Hand made n l such stipulation.

A REMARKABLE CASE
Body of Man in Perfect State of Pres. eryation and Beard and Hair
 Grow PhenominalIy

One of the most curious phenomena ! in connection with human existence
 IS the growth of hair on & body after death. One of the latest instances of the kind is just reported from Mis- souTi, and Is that of John Shulze of
 Kirksville, who was buried thirteen
 years ago in d country graveyard ten
 miles northwest of town. According
 10 the Kirkville Express the body was
 exhumed few days ago and reburied
 m the cemetery at Kirkville, and it
 was found to be in perfect state of
 preservation, as were also the clothes
 The lace, which was smoothly shaven
 at the time of the first burial, thir-
 teen years ago, was covered with a
 beard nearly four inches long, and the
 hair had grown as long as long as
 that of a woman. Thus it appears
 that the growth of hair upon the human head and face is matter that
 IS wholly independent of the vitality of the body. This suggests, says the Kansas City Journal, a number of in- teresting questions, among others possible revolution in the treatment of bald heads. If hair can be grown independently, why shouldn't it be feasible to cultivate crop of artificial origin by grating or otherwise, and thns produce natural or hereditary tendencies of the subjects7 The world awaits the scientist who can 1, cure hsidness, as a benefsctor to the human race.

as the place is thoroughly fumigated
