MULE DIES AT AGE OF 48
Thirty Years Ago the Animal, Then
Considered Old, Was Sold as a
"Plug" to Aged Negro.

Springfield, Tenn.-A mule born in
1865 on the farm Of Robert Holman.
near Springfield, was named Mike and
was broken to work by Holman in
1867 as a two-year-old. AS the time
rolled on Mike was finally dubbed
Old Mike and sold as plug" to Man
uel Douglas, an old negro who, with
his cart and Old Mike, has been ia
miliar figure on the streets Of Spring
field for more than 30 years.
Old Mike passed in his checks re.
Gently as the oldest mule Tennessee
ever produced, being at his death
forty-eight years old,
Old Mike saw Springfield when it
was emerging from simple village
into a town. He saw wooden build
ings give way to modern buildings Of
brick and stone as he plodded his SOL
emn way hauling slop from the back
yards of hotels and old boxes and
rubbish from the Easements of busl-
ness houses.

Wood Witch" is a dual specialist for
her tribe, being the only one left who

it comes to making the brilliant col

tribes today buy the commercial rouge
and other mineralized dyes sold by
the whites. Not so with the proud
braves of the Glacier Park reserva-
ton. They spurn the use of anything
but the pure vegetable colors in deco

And Ne-ah-tuh holds the secret Of ex-
tracing these from roots and herbs

must be made fresh for each applica-

Glacier Park reservation Indians are
steadfast to the primeval traits OF
their tribe.

FIND ARMY REFUGE
Picturesque French Foreign Le-
giOn-Storles Regarding II.
Men Seek II for Oblivion - Some
Sought Have Been Found, but 9th
ers Have Succeeded In Con-
eeallng Their Identity.

Paris.-The French foreign legion is
the most picturesque military organ
ization in the world. Il is the refuge
of men gone wrong through impulse
or misfortune who wish to bury them
selves In oblivion while fighting 70 re-
gain an honorable place In the world
OF life and activity.
or the foreign legion thousand ro-
mantle tales are told. In answer TO
German critics, General Bruneau, who
commanded the second regiment. OF
the organization. has recently related
some Of his experiences and unveiled
certain of its mysteries The rank

posed of princes. dukes. marqueses.

ficers Of all grades, all arms, OF the
armies of all countries, magistrates,
priests, financiers, diplomats. lawyers
and professional functionaries Of all
sorts; honest adventures who simply
want to see the world" the neuras-
thenic the dlsheartened, the unem-
ployed; those who. having lost every
thing but honor, or having lost honor
itself, would make a new start.
All this diverse human metal,
thrown into the melting pot together,
is eventually nodded into that brave,
stole loyal, devoted, patient and tena-
cious prototype of the man Of arms,
the legionary.
The most remarkable story OF all
connected with the lsgion is that of
a soldier Of the second class-another
Muller-who died in the hospital at
Garryyilla. Rumor has It that he was
q bona fide Hohenzollern, a cousin of
the kaiser himself. Efforts to trace his
career or to identify him definitely
have so far failed, though the episode
is so fully authenticated as TO leave
little doubt that a scapegrace member
of the imperial family of Germany did
take refuge under its mysterious ban
ner.
Only a few months ago France had
the laugh on her neighbor over the
case of one Tune, No. 1851" a re-
cruit of the legion at Saida, whose real
name turned out to be Troemel the
missing mayor Of the Usedom, in
Pomerania. In the regiment at Saida,
Troemel met Sergeant Won Salomon,

the German army. In those days."
