The American army mule is valu.
able and useful beast, as has often
been demonstrated, and he is holding
his own. with no kick coming. The
government stands by him. Orders
have Just been issued that army OH
GERS going to and from San Francisco
and the military reservation near that
city must ride in conveyances drawn
by army mules and not automobiles
The officers formed the automobile
habit at the time OF the earthquake
and as matter OF emergency and ne.
cessity. But the government regards
the good old reliable mule as quite
adequate to ordinary conditions. and
so the animal comes back to his for.

December Apple Exposition.

Denver.-The officers and directors
Of the Colorado National Apple Expo.
sition, to be held in Denver in De
cember OF this year. have decided that
~ an additional attraction to the ap:
pie show = national potato show will
be held, says the Republican.
The plans for the apple exposition
call for . premium list that will ex.
coed SIS 900 in value and the addition
OF the potato show means that at least
$4,000 will have to be added to the
premium list. The exposition is at
tanning vast proportions and It is now
doubtful II the Denver Auditorium Will
be large enough to hold the combined
apple and potato show. II not. a tenn
porary structure will be arranged for
and the exhibits OF farming machinery
for growing potato and apple crops
will be placed in this building.
The Denver & Rio Grande. the Mid
land and the Colorado 4 Southern
were all sounded on the proposition
and expressed great enthusiasm
and all agreed to assist to the extent
OF their ability in making the affair q
grand national affair.
Clinton l.. Oliver. secretary OF the
apple exposition. has started work on
the potato exposition and hopes to
create an interest that will make the
potato show and the apple show the
greatest affairs of the kind ever held.
Mr.. Olivor said: Colorado grows the
finest apples and potatoes in the
world. and II any other section of the
country thinks otherwise they will be
given an opportunity to show US at the
exposition this winter. Our purpose in
making these expositions national in
scope was to give us chance to show
what Colorado can do in competition
with the rest of the world. We had
figured on 100000 visitors to the apple
show, but now with the potato show
added I think the gates will register

LEGAL STATUS OF THE SCREAM.

In obtaining legal determination
Of the value of a scream, Miss Grace
Reals of Chicago has performed dis
0nguished service for her sex. Miss
Reals. who is an actress, sued drug
gist for injury to her vocal chords, al
legged to have been caused through
mistake in filling prescription. and
has been awarded $1,000. says the
Pittsburg Gazette-Times. The jury
was told that in emotional roles,
when the villain became perniciously
active, Miss Reals had to engage an.
other woman to do the screaming for
her. The jury agreed that scream
less actress is sadly handicapped in
her art, but its verdict should afford
protection to women other than those
who follow the profession OF the
stage. No woman can go safely and
happily through life without scream.
From mice to burglars. there is
broad variety OF emergencies, each re
quiring its owns scream of peculiar
intensity. There are married men OF
long experience who claim to be able
to tell from thu tone of scream
whether there is a mouse in the re
frigsrator or little Johnny has tumbled
into the well. The occupants of
Kansas City fiat building were saved
from a horrible death by the scream
of a woman. which summoned the fire
department Therefore. an impairment
of her vocal chords which interferes
with her natural screaming powers is
easily worth 5000. In fact, the Chi
cago druggist who is to pay that sum
to Miss Reals may congratulate him
self on getting on so lightly.
