THE MULE

THE MULE
You couldn't call the mule "a beauto
However much you boast of him.
For pulchritude is not his suit
To say the very most of him:
His disposition, too, is not
Especially commendable.
And, though he'll often stand a lot
His temper's Indispensable
He's hard of mouth and obstinate:
Acquaintance soon reveals of him
That 1t Is sometimes tempting fate
To get too near the heels of him:
And when he lays those long ears back
NO beating or reproving him
VIII ever stir him from his track
Until the spirits moving him.
And yet--and yet the mule will thrive
And labor with agility
Where horses cannot keep alive
But die with great facility;
His treatment frequently is rough.
But he is quite resigned to II.
And he can toll with vim enough
When he makes up his mind to III
Not always Is heavy stick
The most effective charm to him.
For, though his muleship's hide ia thick
Good usage does no harm to him:
80 look on him with kindly eye
And you will not repent of IL:
His market price is very high.
and he's worth every cent of 1t!

tiers. The James amendment kas been
agreed to by the house conferees, and
if it goes through as expected Ken
tucky's apportionment for farm dem
onstration work will be nearly $4,000
annually hereafter, sum equal to that
now supplied by the federal govern
ment and the Rockefeller foundation
combined. Mr.. James made a brief
speech in explanation of his amend
ment. 1t was evolved during the re-
cent visit here of State Agricultural
Commissioner J. w. Newman, who
pointed out that, with the cutting off
of the Rockefeller foundation funds
Kentucky's appropriation for farm
demonstration work would fall very
low, about $4,000. By the terms of
the James amendment the current
agricultural bill carries $67S,240 for
farm work in all the states instead OF
s62S,24O.

More Prisoners ParoIed.

prisoners, whose minimum term have
expired, emitting them to paroles I'M
der the decision of the court of ap-
peals in the John DeMoss case. In
practically all the cases the board had
no discretion, but was compelled to re-
lease the prisoners because the cond1-
tons precedent to parole had been full
filled. Chairman Daniel E. O'Sullivan
said regardless of what the commits
sioners may think, they had to parole
these indeterminate sentence prison
ers upon the expiration of their mini
mum sentences if their prison records
are good and they have employment
for six months awaiting them, but they
are only conditionally free, and the
commission may bring them back to
serve out the remainder of their SEN
tence if they violate the conditions OF
their paroles.

Alabaster Boxes of Human
Sympathy

The following was written by
a lady 81 years of age:
do not keep the alabaster
boxes of your love and tender
ness sealed up until your friends
are dead. Fill their lives with
sweetness, speak approving,
cheering words while their ears
can hear them and while their
hearts can be thrilled and made
happier by them. The kind
things you mean to say when
they are gone, say before they go;
the flowers you mean to send for
their collins send to brighten and
and sWeeten their homes before
they leave them. If my friends
have alabaSter boxes hid away
full of fragrant perfumes of sym
pathy and affection, which they
intend to break over my dead
body, would rather they would
bring them out in my weary and
troubled hours, and open them;
that | may be refreshed and cheer.
ed by them while | need them.
| had rather have a plain coffin
without a flower, a funeral with
out eulogy, than a life without
the sweetness of love and sym
pathy. Let us learn to anoint
our friends beforehand for their
burial. Post mortem kindness
does not cheer the burdened
spirit; flowers on the coffin cast
no fragrance backward over the
weary way"

was not the chorus of ayes from the

ike this: Assembled comrades, a
motion has been made and seconded
as to whether in the face of what the
mayor has just told us, we had bet
ter stay here without food or take
the food and go. Now as | put il to
vote | want to hear from all the
ayes strongly"
As he put it to vote all the towns
people and railroad men yelled AYE"
at the top of their voices. And all
the hoboes yelled no" The chair
man mistaking the larger volume of
sound from the ayes as coming from
his own men, said, ''the ayes have it,"

that they were not allowed to get off
