KEPT MULES on THE MOVE
Hltched to Speeding Automobile Team
for a While Had the Time Of
Their Lives.

Here Is a story from Manhattan
with vaudeville features, not to men.
ton the hard luck:
A farmer living on Deep creek, sev.
eral miles east of Manhattan, had a
thrilling experience with an automo-
bile and a team Of mules. The farmer
recently had purchased a new machine,
and on n of bis first trips tried to
cross the creek at a ford. He put the
clutch at high speed and waded in.
For some reason the engine went dead
in midstream. Cranking failed to re.
vive 1t. After q number of useless ef-
forts, the farmer secured a team Of
mules, hitched them to the stubborn
auto and dragged the machine across
the creek and up the bank. The driver
had left the clutch on at high speed,
and from some u~naccountable cause as
soon as the machine was on level road
the engine suddenly revived, the ma
chine started forward with a bound
and struck the mules squarely in their
kicking apparatus. There was some
thing doing Immediately thereafter.
The mules started off full tilt with the
machine chugging after them; the
driver being occupied with the mules,
could not give the machine much at
tention. The machine was soon going
at a great speed, striking the mules
on the heels again and again. Both
team and machine became unmanage-
able; but the mules suddenly jumped
to one side, bringing the machine
sharply around and causing it to strike
a bank Of earth, thus bringing the
strange runaway to an. abrupt end

FINALLY SERVED TIE PAPER
Willy BaiIiff Had Hard Work, but at
Last Scored Victory Over the
Cardinal.

Some time ago a very rich old Ital-
Ian lady died leaving to her heirs a
colossal fortune. She was very pious
and, first of all, laid upon these heirs
the obligation to remit to the vatican
100000 lire. The heirs were greatly
embarrassed by this bequest. They
obtained a decision which should put
the vatican in possession of this leg
acy, but neither the pope nor Cardinal
Merry del Val would accept 1t. A bal
lift was charged with the duty of CIV
Ing notice of the judgment to the holy
see. He was unable to place this pa
per in the hands of Plus K. or in the
hands Of his secretary. He could not
approach the holy father and entrance
to the apartments of Monsignore del
Val was prohibited.
He then devised a scheme. He
learned that the cardinal had gone to
battle In Lake Bracciano, some dis
lance from Rome. At the moment
when the papal secretary reappeared
on the surface Of the water, after a
plunge, the bailiff was before the min
tsterial officer to place the paper un-
der the nose of his eminence. But
the cardinal, who is an excellent swim
mer. made a dive, disappeared, and
next took refuge in a bathhouse,
closing the door behind him.
A half hour later his eminence was
breakfasting at q restaurant. The re-
past ended. he asked for his bill. The
garcon brought it to him and upon
the same plate the cardinal found the
official paper. The garcon was no
other than the bailif. His last trick
had succeeded. The paper was served.

Small Talk aa an Art.

The art Of small talk is one that
many women try to cultivate, and
there r instances of clever takers
who find employment as opponents OF
the art Of light conversation. Their
method is to read the newspapers
daily, to keep in touch with the latest
books, to know something special
about all the plays, and to in
vent small scraps of information Just
bordering on the scandalous. While
the society woman is undergoing
treatment at the hands of the hair

casually, on the subjects Of the mo-
ment, SC that her bon mots may ba
