SOME EXCUSE FOR MULES
But Ranch Hand Had Poor Opinion Of

Smith Of Somerton. Yuma county.
Arizona. Il was obliged to remain ut
primitive southern Arizona ranch
over night. and at about dusk was
given guilt. a clean sheet, and . pill.
low and told to take them to the top
OF 2O-foot alfalfa stack and make up
my bed. Knowing the condition Of
the country. l did not murmur, and
climbed the pole ladder to spend the
night l never enjoyed better nights
rest at any hotel At early dawn I
raised my head and saw two yearlIng
mule colts feeding at the edge Of the
stack. We exchanged glances for a mo
ment. while the mules ears showed
keen astonishment Suddenly rose to
my feet, and in doing 80 the white
sheet chung to my shoulders. wh:.S
upon the colts lit out down .le lane
as II the AnSe! a:SIiei were de-
scending to take them to celestial pas
turage. While at the breakfast table
related the incident, which was much
enjoyed. but no remarks were made at
the time. AS one of the ranch hands
was passing out Of the door he said In
a subdued but distinctly audible voice
that 1t was the first time he had ever
heard OF a lawyer being mistaken for
an angel. and nobody but a mule would
nave made such an error"

Woman Lawyer Says the Attitude To-
ward Her Sex is Unjust and
Barbaric.

That legislation tending to make
marriage more difficult ands divorce
easier would lessen some of the evils
OF the social system was the opinion
put forward IN talk on THE Law and
the Lady," by Miss Mary Wood, a law
yer. ut the Woman's Forum.
Miss Wood began her paper with a
history Of the attitude OF the English
lawmakers toward woman. touching
OF various statutes that now seem &c.
centric. such as the provision of the
middle ages, which limited the cost
Of. the cloth in woman's dress to
tye,ve pence a yard.
And yet that was no more barbar-
ic said Miss Wood, than the bill
OF the Massachusetts legislator, who
would have put a ban on the skirts
that were less than six inches below
the knee, decollete gowns and fancy
clocks on stockings. The bill was
