The Small Mule.

BY Rosy Kozall Aged L Years. 40l3 ]
Street, South Omaha.
There was a farmer who had a very
smart mule. One day the farmer had to
take a wagonlosd OF sugar to a house.
He started to the house where he was TO
so. Not far from It was a big river. The
mule jumped into the water and by the
time the man got him out the sugar was
all melted. The mule was glad he had
not such hard load.
The next day the farmer had to carry
away a big load OF sponges. lie had TO
cross the river again. He stopped in one
store and the smart muln thought that
the sponges would melt He jumped into
the river and the sponges got fun Of water
and the mule jumped out OF the river. His
load was yet heavier and this taught him
q lesson.

father, who at that time was employ
ed In the P. r. r. yard, lost a por-
ton of n of his legs. Ellsworth,
who was a bright boy, was about
thirteen years of age at the time of
his accident.
John Duncan, j. T. Dill, Council
man Manhattan and Judge Mason
realized Che fact If the boy in HIS
crippled state was allowed to grow
up amid his surroundings perhaps it
had been better he had never been
born and therefore resolved ii posi-
BILE to get him in some home provid-
ed for crippled children. In this at
tempt we learned that there was not
an institution of this kind within the
confines of New Jersey, but after
much effort Ellsworth was placed in
In institution on Long Island.
From that time has has not visit
ed his native city until the present.
He has learned the use of artificial
limbs SO that his loss is scarcely rec
~ognizable; he has obtained In edu-
cation in etiquette as well as other
wise and while the loss of his limbs
was a misfortune yet he has reached
a higher plane than he probably ever
would had his limbs been intact.
While New Jersey has many fnsti-
tutions it would be a worthy act If
some philanthropic person in a posi-
ton to bring the matter about would
use his efforts in establishing a home
for crippled boys in New Jersey.
