I was chatting at the club with some
service men one day last week when
the question Of trials with new
guns cropped up. One Of my friends
had had to do with the ordnance com.
mittee some years ago. He told us
of small light gun which had been
submitted to the war office. The in
ventor claimed that II could not only
be carried intact upon mule. but that
II could be fired frop the animals
back. A day for the demonstration
was appointed, and the committee at
tended. A mule. with the gun on
him. was led up in the line OF targets
The committee stood round. the gun
was loaded and would have been dis
charged had not some one suggested
that 1t was safer to fire 1t. for first
time. with time fuse. This sugges
ton was adopted and a 15-second fuse
attached tc the gun. The gun was
pointed toward the butts and they all
stood away. Left to his own devices.
the mule appeared more interested
in some thistles than In the trial. and
slowly turned itself round. with the
muzzle pointing at the lookers-on.
There was a yell OF horror. and the
committee flung themselves nat on
the ground. No one ever knew where
the shot went. but the recoil rolled the
unsuspecting mule fiat on its back

CONDUCTOR WENT TOO FAR
Step Was All Right, But
He Didn't Know Just When
to Stop.

A much-bothered conductor on an
east-bound car was asked by chilly
lady passenger to close the ventila-
tors. AS he had already been impor-
tuned to open them by half dozen
other patrons he resorted to diplo-
macy.
Madam" he said In a confidential
tone, I'D gladly close the ventilators.
but unfortunately health officer is
aboard the car and he insists that
they must be left open. I'd make my
self liable to a lot of trouble if
opposed him."
"A health officer?" said the lady.
"Yes'm," replied the conductor. And
then intoxicated by the success of his
scheme he unhappily added-"the one
with the brown derby"
The lady looked and a change came
over her face.
THE one with the brown derby?"
she repeated.
"Yes'm. They say he's quite an ex-
pert on germs and things. l believe
he's a German gentleman"
The lady stared at the conductor.
Hes nothing of the kind" she
snapped. THE man with the brown
derby is my husband"
Whereupon the conductor beat a
hasty MISUNDERSTANDING Plain Dealer.

ROUTT COUNTY
HOGS MARKETED
FIRST CARLOAD OF HOGS is SHIP
PED OVER THE MOFFAT
ROAD.
FIR M HAYDEN RANCH
SHIPPER ENTHUSIASTIC OVER
HOG RAISING PROSPECTS IN
HIS DISTRICT.

Denver-The Record Stockman OF
Friday says: George H. Whiteman. a
successful stockman and farmer Of
Hayden, Colo, was on Fridays mar
ket with a carload Of hogs loaded at
Steamboat Springs. This is the first
car of hogs ever shipped to market
from Routt county and the first car
ever hauled to market over the Moi
fat road from any of its shipping
points. The hogs were of very good
quality and sold at $s.25 for the big
end. with a few pigs at $500. good
strong price on the market. and Mr..
Whiteman expressed himself as well
pleased.
The hogs were fed on Canadian field
peas and barley. together with alfalfa.
which is a combination impossible to
beat in hog production. according to
Mr.. Whiteman. and he ought to know,
for he was engaged in the hog bust
ness in Nebraska for over thirty years.
Mr.. whiteman located on homestead
near Hayden some eight years ago
and started his hog raising with two
or three sows and a boar. This is
the first carload he has shipped.
though he killed some stuff for local
trade occasionally.
Il expect to make hog raising
business" said he. "and am positive
that there is no better place to do 1t
than in Routt county. There is no
doubt in my mind that one can raise
cheaper and better hogs in that sec
ton than in any place in the country.
The climate there is right, we can
raise the best feeds to be found any
where and hogs are healthy. Back
where l used to live | have lost as
many as 500 hogs in one season from
cholera. but in the eight years I have
been raising hogs at Hayden. have
never had one die from the disease.
and I find that is the experience of
everybody"
Mr.. Whiteman expected the railroad
to be completed to Hayden by this
time. when he began raising hogs. and
would then have been able to ship
without hauling them. AS 1t was. he
was compelled to haul the hogs in six
sleighs to Steamboat Springs and load
there. The railroad. however. will be
built on to Hayden within the next
wear
