The Mule Is Contrary

Tt is customary to deride, abuse, rid : icu1e, and generally be1ittle the mule. 1"
 said man who confesses to an intima cy with mules that fits him to know
 what he Is talking about. as quoted by the New York Sun. but let me tell you right now that-frst. though, consider the mule from my point of view which is the proper one.
 There Is no doubt that 1t Is eharac- terstic of the mule to loaf, and loaf hard, whenever he gets a chance but he more than makes up for 1t when he knuckles down to work. If you will take an honest observation of the mule you will see that he has a certain con- templatiye, ingenious, openminded cast of countenance, with a tinge of mourn fulness in his expression, which comes, perhaps. from too much reflection on
 his somewhat ambiguous status in gen ealogical classification. Nobody can look mule in the face without bias and not be convinced of his absolute
 raightforwardness and good faith In the face, by the way. and peren- thetically, is the proper way to look at a mule. He can't kick with his fore feet, and straightforward as he is from a front view. he is quite as straight
 backward from the rear if he is moved to take time from his reflective ponder Ing to demonstrate fl, and, a rule, you want to he sure of your odds If you are going to bet that he won't be moved.
 "It will not be viciousness, however, that moves him to such demonstration
 It is simply the mules idea of playful ness the taking of a moment off for showing that he really doesn't think llifo Is all an empty dream and to show that things are really not what they seem. so far as that contemplative and mournfu1ly inert pose of his might con- fuse you into believe that they were a ha no pa tf.tf ferl,f f.f Ia, ,t than--well. than a trip hammer might have if it came down on you.
 The mule is liable to run away but | If he does he does it entirely of his own Initiative, and because he has suddenly come into his mind that to run away would be pleasing diversion from that disposition of his to fall into disturbing reflection. Cannos shot off under hin, couldn't induce the mule to run away. No outside influence could impel him to it.
 And in running away the mule brings to the performance of 1t the
 same unruffed dignity that marks him lalways, whether as the motive power of a canal boat or the gayly caparisoned impeller of a Spanish diligence The runaway mule turns out for all objects fin his path. A child, dozen children may be before him in the road. but never a one will he do damage to-.
 Horses that run away are blind, and have no sense while thus engaged. They are frenzied. The mule shows no
 more emotion while running away than while tugging at load of tanbark. "Yes. it is customary to deride, abuse. ridicule, and generally belittle the mule. but let me tell you right now that when you are looking at pair of up-and up Kentucky or Tennessee mules. my son. don't forget that you are casting your eyes over something that nothing less than one thousand nice. round. fat dol lars can be plunked down as the equiv alent of. and no particular hurry to dicker 'em of even for that"

Coffee Market

New York, August 2S.-No material change was reported in the coffee mar yet here today. The process of even ing up old commitments through the voluntary committee was said to be making progress at slightly lower prices today, but the spot markets con- tinued steady.

No Wreck!
From Harper's Ma agazine.

A reporter on a Kansas City paper ~as among those on relief train that was being rushed to the scene of a railway wreck in Missouri About the first victim the Kansas City reporter saw was man sitting in the road with his back to fence. He had a black eye, his face was somewhat scratched and his clothes were badly torn-but he was entirely calm.
 The reporter jumped to the side of the man against the fence
 How many hurt?" he asked of the prostrate one.
 Haven't heard of anybody being hurt said the battered person.
 What was the cause of the wreck 2"
 Wreck? Haven't heard of any wreck"
 You haven't heard of any wreck ? Who are you, anyhow"
 Well, young man, don't know that that's any of your business. but am the claim agent of this road"

 Q 5sc. Provisions eiOse- higher to 12h cents lower.
 Selling in the narrow wheat market was done by scattered longs and much of the buying also was credited to them on the theory that a long with profit secured can scarcely resist buying in at decline in hope of another bulge.
 As was the case yesterday when prices were soaring the trade paid no attention to the news.
 Most of the trading was done in the first half hour At 1:15 May was 10 cents under yesterdays top. It reached 1 to 3 cents from this and fingered m the. neighborhood of the closing price the remainder of the session. At the close the tone was heavy. Commission houses made an effort to attract legiti- mate trading, but 15 and 20 cent mar gins demanded in some cases did not prove inviting. Country offerings were reported decidedly larger
 Rains in the crop belt and the influ- ence of wheat depressed corn prices. There was a fair eastern demand. Sam ples were sc lower. The decline in oats was due to profit taking, influ- enced by wheat and slackening of sea board demand. September provisions oased off on continued liquidation while January gained mqdestly on investment demand

Listens for a Dog's Bark
he New York Sun

From the New YOrk Sun.
 There is man in Paris who has a novel way of eking out the small salary he gets as bank clerk. At night he strolls through the quiet streets of the suburbs. carefully inspecting the closed villas. and houses. Every now and then he initiates a dogs bark, yelping and growing in a realistic manner.
 If there is no canine response he con tinues his walk, repeating his yelps in front of other houses. When an an- swering bark replies to his he jots down the address of the house in a notebook The next day city official calls at these houses reported by the night stroller to collect the probably unpaid dog tax.
