MULE KICKS NEGRO.
And the Result was About as Ex.
pected in Such a Case.

All stories about the hardness OF
negroes skulls were put into the
background by two happenings re-
Gently, says an exchange.
Following an alteration over a
woman at party given in the home
of Henry Lewis, Of 1892 North Al
der. street, Philadelphia, Lewis ne
gro, was shot four times in the head
at a range Of less than five feet. At
ter penetrating the flesh, the bullets
fattened out and dropped to the
floor.
Lewis was taken to the Samaritan
hospital, but was soon permitted to
go to his home. The man who shot
him escaped.
While harnessing a mule in the
stable at 418 East Riverhouse street,
William Pifin, negro, 80 years old,
of the same address, was kicked in
the head and knocked down. Get
ting to his feet, Piffin discovered the
mule lying on the ground. Exam
ination showed that the animals leg
was broken.
Pifin was taken to the German
town hospital where six stitches
were taken in his head. The mule

Augusta Strike Still Unsettled. l.

Augusta, Ca, Oct. 16.-The ALL

settlement than it was five days ago.
The carmen replied to the media

clining to return to work unless 'all
men. go back together They de-
mand arbitration of three cases of
dismissal some time prior to the
strike, which the board has ruled had
no connection with the strike.
The board took exception to GER
tain tart language in Mahon's reply,
and a conference was held with him
just before midnight at which he
asked for time to reconsider. That
was granted and the final meeting is
now fixed for II o'clock tomorrow.
The board of mediators, after five
days and nights, concluded it's work

The company has been forced by

dismissal of a number of men, has
agreed to an increase in wages dated

that they will refuse to go to work
unless every man involved is rein

afterward The board forced an
agreement that such men as are
"held on the bench shall be paid
full time in case the arbitration re-
instates them, but Mahon rejected
this.
The Savannah militia, which was
ordered by Col. O'Leary to assemble

dispersed into two little groups In order
TO get their men.
II required some ten or fifteen minutes
for Phil and his companions to descend

proceeded to capture the rustlers
While creeping stealthily upon iheir
men, Phil could see on the opposite side
the other posse gradually coming nearer.
Then, with one gigantic roar Of noise
and bullets, the war opened. After the
smoke had cleared away and half a
dozen men lay dead upon the ground,
Phil captured his meE with the help OF
two others, Tom and Joe.
II had been a gruelling contest, and the

What can we do in such cases? The

does that mean? 1t means simply that
she is a nice girl. but as soon as any
thing happens for which she hasn't
planned she goes all to pieces and is
cross and cranky and quite unbear-

Consequently, everybody nice. would q
little bit rather keep cut of her way,
and there is no doubt that nice hap

way. And this brings us to the one
ray of hope in this matter Of broken
plans. and that is: If we 90 out brave

good things will surely come to us and
everything will be happy again. But
if we take dlscouraginG things hope
Iesslv good things will be slow in
reaching us, and perhaps never arrive,
because we are not on the lookout for
them and therefore won't recognize
them.
This is not theory; it is real fact.
