THIS MULE DIDN'T
LIKE COLD WEATHER
A LITTLE BIT

Atlanta. Dec. ga tricky but men
tally short-sighted Marietta street
mule, disliking the sudden cold spell,
this morning tried to warm itself by
setting fire to the wagon it was hitch
Led to.
The wagon was one belonging to
the street department, and was loaded
with big pot full of simmering as
phalt, to mend holes in the street
with. Underneath the pot was the
usual brazier with charcoal
Every time the wind got stronger,
the negroes crowded around the lit
tie fire and warmed their hands. The
mule, in front, cut his eye around and
watched the blaze, but couldn't get to
it. But he was nightly interested In
that fire, and when convenient time
came, being left five minutes alone, he
backed the wagon up against brick
wall and managed to pound and jam Il
until he overturned the pot and set
the wagon on fire. Then he was warm
and happy until the fire got to close
to his whisp of tail. And then he
ran away, flaming wagon and all,
leaving such a trail of sparks and
smoke behind that street car motor
men deferentially stopped and let him
go by, thinking ne was the fire de-
partment on a special call.
The mule was caught and unharn-
essed from the burning wagon just in
time to save him from being roasted
between the shafts
One of the old darkeys who helped
free the mule remarked that he had
seen lots of folks hell bent on havin'
a fire" and with just as little fore
sight.

EDITH BRADFORD'S
VISIT TO COMPOSER
Humperdinek Told Her Story Of His
Inspiration for "Hansel
and GreteIo

Edith Bradford, who Is in Washington
this week TO sing her famous role Of
Hansel In Hunperdinck's delightful fairy
opera, "Hansel and Gretel" with the
Aborn English Grand Opera Company
at the New National Theater. has recent
ly returned from a trip to Germany,
where she was the guest Of Engelbert
Humperdinck, the composer of the opera
Miss Bradford spent a very happy day
with the great German composer
"'Hansel and Greter was very un-
intentional success" the composer told
Miss Bradford. You see, my original
idea was simply to please the children
of our neighborhood, who were arrang-
: ing to give a musical entertainment, in
which my sister was interested, and she
asked me to arrange a cantata for them.
/ was only too happy to do this, and we
talked it over one morning at the break
fast table, and then / went out to take
my usual morning walk, not thinking
that on the walk / would find subject
for my work.
"As is always my custom, 1 placed
some sweet cakes in my pockets for my
bird friends. who have become quite
chummy with me, and eat out OF my
hand. While strolling through the woods
10 the place where ] greet the BIRDS 1
saw two little tots fast asleep under the
trees. They had been out picking ber-
ries. and were tired out / thought il
would be a pleasant surprise for them
10 place some OF the cakes on top of
the berries, so they could eat them
when they woke up. and then went on
TO see my bird friends.
After feeding the birds, / leisurely
strolled back, and when l reached the
spot where the children were asleep 1
found they had awakened and were eat
ing the cakes. In their pretty, childish
way, they told me that while sleeping
the fairies had watched over them 10
keep them from harm and had left
some cakes on their baskets for them to
eat.
They asked me If 1 believed in the
good fairies, and told them did, and
we chatted about the little people. Just
as I was about to leave the children the
little boy looked up and said to me: I
believe the fairies thought we were the
babes in the wood, and that maybe
were lost, and they did not want us to
feel badly when we woke up. so they
left the cakes 1 said good-by TO the
children, but that last remark of the
little boy kept coming to my mind, and
when l reached home / called my sister
and told her 1 had a story for the can
tata and would write the music.
of course, it was given, and my
friends who heard it were SO very much
pleased that they insisted that L make
1t a more elaborate work. This 1 DID,
and 1 think the success or -t1anseI ana
Greter is due TO the kindness of the
fairies"
