Corporal Green And
Missouri Mules In
New Russian Ride

Especial Star Bulletin Correspondence
| SCHOFIELD BARRACKS, Dec. 81.
Corporal Green of the machine gun
platoon of the First Infantry claims to
know a bit about Missouri mules and
their qualities as jumpers and hurd-
lers. This knowledge Green proved in
handsome style on the afternoon Of
the Russian ride" of the Fifth In
| fantry. ~ >-..r.:
Waiting until Colonel Wilder and
his officers had completed their
three miles over the prescribed
course, the corporal assembled his
"Ruffians," as they may be called,
and, with Private Kessley on that
queen of hurdlers, Molly" at the
head, off they went. Ditcnes, sand
bag walls, bull-finches-all looked
alike to Private Farrar on Pearl"
rabbit" Boyles on Niger" and Hert
on Manhattan" as they followed
kessley over the course.
Jump? Why, every one OF those
mules had learned as colts to leap
ever an eight rail stake-and-rid Mis-
souri, fence just for a chinge of diet
from red clover to timothy. Ears
forward, tails frisking, each animal
approached the various obstacles with
all the confidence of an Irish hunter
following a pack. Molly" with kess-
ley up, showed the way throughout,
playing her part Of the game 20 per-
lection.
As Corporal Green expressed it: at
he
bull ring Molly goes first and the
rest follow. And they sure can jump.
Why that Molly mule can out-jump
anything in this POST"
All negotiated the course in excel
tent style. though just to add to the
proprieties a bit, "Jackrabbit" buckeG

The Yulctide spirit was rampant

extent, that the calling of a halt was
deemed necessary.

of sand into a lot Of boxes, and you
throw old stove lids and things into
a furnace, and then you turn the red
hot stream into a hole in the sand, and
everybody yells and shouts.
Then you pour it out, let it cool
and pound it, and then you put in it
a thing that bores holes in it. Then
you screw it together, and paint it.,
and put steam in it, and it goes splen-
didly, and they take it to a drafting

Finding the Drowned.

Occasionally one reads that, when
human bodies are thought to be in riV-
ers and cannot be found, a loaf of
bread has been foated down the
stream" But very few people have
the least idea what connection there
is between bread and the finding of
bodies. When the river has been
dragged without result, loaf of bread
is cut in two, place followed out in
the middle, and quantity of quick
silver inserted. The two halves of
the loaf are then fastened together
again, and the bread is thrown into
the water in the place where the body
is supposed to be- Without fail the
loaf floats along until it reaches the
vicinity of the body, and then revolves
quickly, lowering over the spot.
