Motorcar Versus Mule.

What is this we hear? The United
States army highbrows are expert
menting with the motorcar as a pos
sible substitute for the mule. Perish
the thought that this ancient pack
animal is to be supplanted by the
newfangled horseless carriage! Friends
Of the mule, who is the truest friend
Of man, should utter a protest in a
braying voice audible from Mexico to
Maine.
The Missouri mule, the chief product
Of the Ozarks. not excepting even the
Elberta peach, is the most famous
animal extant. He is himself a
peach" His bray has been heard
around the world. He is a soldier Of
the first dimension. In every war
that has been fought in the past CEN
fury the mule, the American mule,
has borne the brunt Of the service.
AS a wagon puller and a pack animal
he has made himself immortal. Pa
tient, p~ersevering, obstinate at times,
he always gets there. The horse fails
where the mule succeeds.
General Grant insisted upon the
mule when somebody proposed the
horse as the motor power for supply
trains. At the battle of Lookout
Mountain a bunch Of mules stampeded
and made a desperate charge against
the Confederates, routing q whole reg
iment. In the Philippines. in China, in
japan, in Russia. the sturdy old Mis-
souri, mule has done yeoman war
service. On the veldts of South Africa
he did better fighting than the British.
There is always a large demand for
the American mule as an army adj
junct in all countries.
Now shall this faithful soldier be
turned out to grass and the automobile
take his place? We believe in prog
ress, but we must utter our indignant
protest against this proposed act of
sacrilege. However. it is not at all
likely that the motorcar can supplant
the mule. His Brayship can take trails
impossible to the gasoline wagon. For
that reason. if for no other, the muFe
to be cinched to his job.

The Harmon-Burke combination
does not seem to digest very well-even
with North Dakota democracy.-Pro-

The idea of a Harmon Burke combina-
ton as Ia democratic presidential fpos-

fertile Imagination of a Twin City space
writer. Of course the item was seized
with avidity by the Fargo Democrat e,

Monte Carlos Pension List.

Monte Carlo. the famous gambling
den Of France, has probably the most
remarkable pension list in the world.
Men and cxne who absolutely ruin
themselves at the casino r allowed
small sums for the rest Of their lives.
The pensions vary from 5 francs; TO 20
francs a day, according to the amounts
lost at the tables. states the National
Magazine. A Scotchman who lost
about $1,00G.000 at roulette is: said to
receive 81 q day. This gentleman re-
sides today in a tiny villa at Nice.
Every year the casino company pays
out some $4,000 in pensions.

wAsHINGToN's ETIQUETTE.
1t Didn't Do to Take Liberties With
Our First Presidents,


President Washington never went to
congress on public business except in a
stagecoach drawn by six cream colored
horses. The coach was IN object which
would excite the admiration of the
throngs ven now in our streets. 1t
was built in the shape Of a hemisphere,
and its panels were adorned with Gu.
pids surrounded with flowers and
fruits. The coachman and positions
were arrayed in gorgeous liveries of
white and scarlet.
The Philadelphia Gazette. a govern.
ment organ, regularly gave out court
news for the edif1cation Of the citizens.
From this journal the people were per.
mitted to learn as much as it was
deemed proper they should know about
the presidents movements, and a fair
amount Of space was also devoted to
Mrs. Washington, who was, however,
not referred to as Mrs. Washington.
but as "the amiable consort Of our be-
loved president" When the president
made his appearance at a ball or a
public reception a dais was erected for
him, upon which he might stand apart
from the throng, and the guests or Wis
itors bowed to him in solemn silence.
Republican simplicity" has only
come in later times. Very few persons
presumed to shake hands with General
Washington. One Of his friends. Gou-
verneur Morris. rashly undertook for
a foolish wager to go up to him and
slap him on the shoulder, saying. my
dear general. I am happy to see you so
we'll" At least there is a tradition to
that effect
The moment fixed upon arrived. and
Mr.. Morris. already half %repenting Of
his wager. went up to Washington,
placed his hand upon his shoulder and
uttered the prescribed words. Wash
ington, as the story has it, stepped sud-
denly back. fixed his gaze upon Morris
for several moments with an angry
frown until the latter retreated abash-
ed and sought refuge in the crowd. No
one else v e. tried a similar expert
ment. No royal levees were more
punctiliously arranged than those Of
our first president.-New York Press.
