The Mule

A cheerful critter is the mule
his dispositions bright and gay
and when the weathers crisp and
cool. he says, "Hee-hawt and
runs away. His 'Hee-haw
cheers us like the deuce, it's such
an optimistic shout, and when he
turns that slogan loose. it jars
the welkin inside out. At mid
night. when the world is still,
the mule, from out the barnyaId
strayed. comes close up to the
window sill, and tries to make
Caruso fade. We must admit nc
cannot sing. however earnestly
he tries. but he has such good
traits. by jung, that we forgive
his frantic cries. How patiently
he drags the pillow, how earnestly
hell strive and strain, and swal-
low grub that horse or COW would
pass up with high disdain! He
;oils to bring his master dimes,
50 faithfully. the long day
through: at night lies down and
rolls three times. and then gets
Up as good as new. He doesn' t
stall around or sl1irk. though
roads be long and days be hot ;
he's always ready for his work,
and never dies unless he's shot.
And vet we greet the mule with
ieers. make him the butt of joke
lets raw. because he has too many
ears. and cannot sing like Ellen

AMUSEMENT MANAGERS
MAKE SITUATION CLEAR
District Heads Confident the Sunday
Issue Win Be Amicably
Settled.

District officials expressed the opinion
today that the situation regarding Sun
day amusements in Washington has been
greatly clarified as a result of the action
of theatrical managers in generally bow
ing to public opinion by refusing to take
advantage of Justice Gould's decision
holding that the Commissioners are with
out authority to regulate such amuse-
ments.
1t is believed that the matter will be
settled amicably either in court or by
congressional action, and that a ground OF
adjustment will be found which will be
satisfactory to all persons interested
