BILLS OLD X-RAY MULE
BY c. G. GRANT.

I'm Just IN from Plumville, said
the travelling man. Il heard a mule
story while | was in that town.
The city marshal one day last
summer said to Big Bill McCune in
front Of TIickey's grocery: Bill, If you
don't keep that Of mule O. yourn off
tn streets OF this Incorporation I'll
have III law on ye
Big Bill bit off a whacking big
chew Of tobacco before he drawled
out: Wei. If you do, I'll git chure
goat
That evening Jerry, Big Bill's mule,
did not return to the barn. He passed
the night in the village pound, a pas
ture largely infested with weeds and
hemmed round win a hedge Of tall
burdocks.
THE next morning Big Bill started
out exploring and soon found Jerry
rolling round contentedly in the weeds.
They tickled his ribs, which had at
tanned undue prominence while ram
bling the streets Of Plumyils in search
Of juicy grass
When Big Bill saw Jerry so con
tented he said to himself: Guess I'll
leave the old fellow there for the rest
Of the week. I'll be out to Hen Cal
listers, anyway, diggin that Well
That afternoon Aunt Betty Brown
happened to pass the lot where old
Jerry was n!bbling The sight of the
forlorn creature with his sharp hori-
ION outlines touched her heart and she
waddled home for something to hide
the mules X-rays Soon his bone pile
was concealed beneath a couple Of
gunny sacks.
Every night the city marshal tai
lied up another days board against
old Jerry AT % cents a day, that will
make pretty nigh five dollars ag'in tn
end of tn month, he said.
by the middle Of the next month
the marshal announced that he would
auction Off old Jerry to pay for his
feed There was a bill against him
for 1926 and 1t was growing larger
every day The auction was set for
two o'clock Saturday afternoon
Colonel Wilson was auctioneer.
Crowd up around here, gentle
menn he shouted. Now, how much
am | offered to start this mule? He's
guaranteed not to scare at automo-
biles or thrashin' machines He's a
family animal through and through.
Now. what do I hear to start him.
There came a deep silence, while
several of the farmers tried to lift the
gunuy sack that concealed Jerry's
striking points
Gentlemen said the colonel, we
sell Jerry just as he stands, fly nets
and all How much am | bid to start
him?
twenty-five cents, said old Jack
Pemble.
THE colonel fddled around for ten
minutes trying to get another bid, but
they were not game sports. Twenty
five once, twenty-five twice, twenty
FIVE three times Are you all done?
Sold to Jack Pemble for 25 cents!'
III you happen to be motoring along
the road FIVE miles from Plumyille and
see an old mule standing patiently
near corn crib while half a dozen
children pull themselves up by his
ears and slide down over his sides
youI know it's Jack Pembles place"

grounds, and every player rallied
around Baker, the great Princeton
captain, that night and resolved that
