"CALL OF WILD" GETS MULE.
Hunters Find Domestic Beast With a
Band of Elk.

Brinnon, Wash.-Hunters return
ing from the Olympic mountains tell
of a strange affiliation of a common
work mule and herd of protected
elk.
The band of elk was sighted and
the hunters stalked up close as posi-
BILE to get photographs, and saw the
mule grazing with the wild animals.
The photos, when developed, show
the old mule peacefully eating among
the elk, his ears wobbling backward
and forward as he cropped the grass.
When the hunters whistled shrilly the
elk and the mule made off for the
foothills at breakneck speed.
Where the mule came from and
how he ever made friends with the
elk is a mystery, but their relations
seem to be peaceful and mutual.

LEGAL BLUNDERS.
A Queer Decree Of Divorce issusd by
Paris Court.

A Queer Decree Of Divorce issusd BY .
Paris Court.
Some years ago, It Is said. legal
blunder Of a most extraordinary char
acter was committed In one Of the d.
vorce courts in Paris. BY tome misap-
prehension on the part Of the presid-
Ing Judge, whose papers and mLnd had
got confused. he actually mistouk the
name of an advocate who had been ar
guing a petition for the name Of me
petitioner himself and In granting .nd
signing the decree Of dissolution OF
marriage Of the petitioner unwittingly
substituted the advocates name for
the petitioners and thus divorced the
lawyer from his wife instead of grant
Ing the prayed for release Of the advo'
Gates client. As the lawyer had no de-
sire for separation from his wife and
as there was no process for annulling
an absolute decree for divorce, even to
meet such q remarkable case. It be-
came necessary through this judicial
error for the man Of law to remarry
his spouse without delay, and this be
did.
A somewhat similar error was com
mitted In the English court OF chan
Gerry. There had been a litigation over
some property, which was held by one
man and claimed by another of the
same name. In evading some order OF
the court the holder Of the property
had committed contempt. and on
this being called to the attention OF
the Judge an order issued for the sum
moning. not Of the guilty party. but OF
| the claimant Of the same surname. and
the order. a very severe one. was nc
tually In execution before the error was
discovered.-NewY York Press.

When to Prune.

II you have ever studied the question
at all, you have learned that even among
the so-called high authorities there 10 a
variance of opinion as to whom Is the
best time to pruue fruit trees. Some
recommend the winter months, Others
the spring, while still others say that the
fall is the ideal season. But there seems
to be logical season, and that Is the
one when the wound made by the prun-
ing knife or saw will quickest heal.
This, naturally, is the season when
growth is most rapid, and this is May
and June. And yet there ia this feature
about the matter: May and June are
busy months for the farmer, and it is no
simple task to properly cut back an Or
chard or long line of growing shade
trees. A custom which has been follow
ed by many successful orchardists and
foresters is to do the pruning in Feb
ruary or March, before the sap starts to
flow. The cuts should be covered with
heavy coat of white lead Tor red lead
and oil: Do not use prepared paints,
into the manufacture of which zinc has
entered. The paint will prevent the
wound from drying out and cracking,
and will leave 1t in good shape to be
permanently healed by the early growth
of the tree. Do not under any circum-
stances, use the knife while the sap Is
ir first flow. Naples and boxelders may
be permanently injured or killed In this
way.
But even If you are in doubt, do no,
neglect the pruning. 1t is AZ necessary
to the sturdiness, beauty and productive.

busy with the knife and saw at either oil
