Mules Are Now
Invading Germany

BERLIN, Oct. THE mule has begun
an invasion of Germany. The omnibus
company Of Berlin has just received a
shipment from South America. which
are the first mules brought into Germany
for work. Hitherto the mule has only
been a curiosity Of the geological gar
dens. The company Is starting in an
experimental way with dozen, intend
ing to increase the number later as soon
as the experiment shall have been proved
a success.
No doubt, however, is entertained as
to the ability OF the mule to maintain
In the German climate his reputation
for endurance under hard work. The
expert having the matter in charge
assures the company that eight mules
viii do the work of ten horses, that
each mule VIII cost twenty-five per cent
less TO keep. that he viii stand much
rougher treatment and resist diseases
much better than the horse; and finally
his working life is placed at a maximum
OF thirty years.
The Bavarians are also growing in
terested in the mule and are discussing
the feasibility Of substituting him for
the OK.
Prince Offered for $4,000.
A recent advertisement in a leading
Berlin newspaper, the ''Vossische
Zeitung," offering a real prince in the
marriage market at the extremely low
price Of $4,000, has caused widespread
discussion. The announcement reads:
