Gift For Baby.

Babies always need bibs, and 1t is
easy to make these. They may be
plain ones or fancy, finished with en-
broidery lace or feather-stitching but
an important point to remember when
making a bib is to fit pad of absor-
bent cotton under the outer-covering,
else the moisture from the little ones
mouth will soak through and ruin the
dainty frock underneath.
A FELLOWSHIP is also a nice gift for
baby. 1t may be made Of fine linen,
embroidered on each end with a dain.
ty spray Of blossoms. This should
cover a small down pillow.
Another idea is bassinette or car.

buds worked in natural oolored floss.
To make the cover still more elabo-

ARMY MULE EATS ITS TAG
Steamer Tied Up Until Officers Learn
Destination Of Animal With Ap-
petite Like Goat.

Seattle, Wash.-An innocent looking
young mule Of the army type delayed
the steamship Northwestern for Prince
William sound ports for an hour here
while an army of clerks and dock en-
ployes vainly tried to discover to
whom the animal was consigned.
A cheerful but slow witted colored
boy led the animal to the docks and
left it while he watched the busy
scene. When the mule was sought out
the freight handlers discovered that
the freight tag which had been tied
to the halter had disappeared. A tell.
tale bit of string dangling from the
mules mouth showed the tag had
been chewed up.
Boss, he's done ct up de place
whar he was goin' and All disremem.
Der de name" said the colored boy
plaintively.
After an hour Of search the mule
was started on its journey with a
shipping tag firmly fastened round its
neck, out of reach of the mules teeth.
