Lights Are Out

Last Tuesday night at about II
O'Clock the pulley on the governor
on the engine at the electric light
plant became loose and let the en-
gine run away. The sudden high
speed threw the belt off the dynamo,
but not until that machine had
been greatly damaged. Parts of
the dynamo was thrown through
the roof of the building and several
hundred feet into the air. The
cement foundation ON which the
engine rests was shaken and several
pieces broken loose. All this
happened in an instant before
Electrician Goldman could run to
the engine and shut the steam off,
which required only a seconds
time. Fortunately nobody was
hurt by the flying belts and parts
Of machinery.
i will be probably week or ten
days before the repairs to the dyna
mo can be made and lights turned
on again, The damage to the
plant will probably amount to
$500 or 5000.

so he will get used to this and
take his sugar on the fly. A
mule that is properly sweetened
is worth more than a sour mule.
Get the hired man to help
you now and put the harness on
with a pitch fork. The crupper
should be shaped like a dip net,
and at least three feet wide,
which is necessary, as the tail
will have to be steered through
with fish pole. Set the collar
on a couple of low posts and
call the mule through with su-
gar. Now fasten the harness.
The best way to do this is to put
the mule back in the cistern and
let the hired man buckle it
while he is swimming. A mule
is like a humble bee-neither
one can humble much in the
water. Lift him again with the
derrick, let him dry, and be
careful that he does not dry in
streaks, then put him in the
shafts. This is easy if you have
tied his legs together as you
ought while he was in the well.
The shafts should be at least
eight feet long and the lines and
ut least ninety. There is a little
danger of a mule kicking if you
follow these directions.
Talk often and gently to the
mule. Although he may not
perfectly understand, he might
guess at it. A great many
things that a mule will do are
not generally known. These can
only be learned by experience.
The mules heart is in the right
place, but the nerve center be-
tween his brain and his hind
legs frequently get crossed on a
live wire. To avoid half of this
you may try a different scheme.
Find the mules nerve center
with compass and attach a
fence wire to it-any horse doc
tor in Payne county will do this
for you. When you have the
wire attached wrap it around
your lighting rod and stand the
mule out in the thunder storm.
This will burn out his fuse
and thereafter he can kick only
once in two seconds instead Of
twice. This gives you a double
chance of passing him on the
run without making the life in
surance agent smile.
Another way to break a mule
is to hoist him up on the house
roof, laying him across the
gable, and tying three tons of
brick on each end. When it
cracks he is broke, but he'll
be dead broke" this time, and
a dead broke mule is like a dead
broke man-he'll kick himself.
This won't give him any time
to kick his companians, and SO
you reap the benefit. See?

JOHN GILPIN'S AUTO RIDE.

JOHN GILPIN'S AUTO RIDE.
John Gilpin was a citizen Of

Until his auto got him 10
rows all over town;
He took the auto from its pla &c
beside an empty stall,
And filled the tank with what
is called denatured alcohol.
re auto sputtered down t le
street in an uplifted moo 1.
* jolly gait, a joyous pace it
was that it pursued;
But soon its honks grew +; IL
cous and its sputterin ys
grew thick
Instead of "chuff-chuff-chuff," "
it changed to "hick-hic.;-
hick-hick"
1t whirled about, it flew abou5,
it covered all the street,
1t yowled at scared pedestrians
and knocked them frcm
their feet;
1t swooped around the corne.
with mighty careless rec !,
And then went half a block or
so on one wobbly wheel.
And then! And then its chuf :
ing changed to somethiI :
wild and new,
With great rapidity it yelled
"hurroo-hurroo-hurroow
John Gilpin tried to tone :;
down, to turn it roun( =
about;
1t merely coughed as though =;
said: "Sit still or ge ;
thrown out"
The shades Of dusk came o.
apace, the auto shrieke =.
with joy,
And seemed to say "Fill VI"
H tank anozzer time, o.
boyp
And though John Gilpin did his
best to slow it up a bit,
The auto struck a gait THAI
meant Lets make a nigh
of it,"
And so it went along the street.
with people playing tag,
With lamps aglow, now to and
fro-an auto with a jag .
And then it tried to climb q.
tree, and then began t.
weep,
And leaned against a lamp-pos
and went solemnly to sleep.
John Gilpin on the morrow"
found he could not turn.

Until he's put a quart of bromo-
seltzer in its tank
But O! it's sad to tell about
it surely is a shame
Although the auto had the jag,
John Gilpin got the blame.
