master in the National Guard of the
District of Columbia, and between
times disbursing officer Of the DIS
trict of Columbia Mr.. Wilson was ldiy

centimeter silk hat when he made thls
remark, in the course of dressing for the
many functions which he has to attend,
You are right was the reply made
by Tom Grant, raconteur and secretary or
the Chamber of Commerce. 1t must be
understood that Messrs. Wilson and
Grant were not conversing by the ordinary
word-of-mouth method, but were at thai
moment bound in the mystic bonds OF
telepathy. and were exchanging thoughts
by less than wireless.
Mule Race Suggested.
This flash of mutual understanding
across the dark waves O. ether is said
to be the beginning of the negotiations
for the great American mule race which

However. Louis Wilson was just a bit
shy about appearing in public on male.
although he has ridden the goat surround
ed by many friends in the dark disguise
of mysterious fraternal organizations. He
said he would ride with Chris on apy
mule in Washington, but he wanted to
have third party to insure fair play.
AS Mr. Columbus has heard Tom Grant

in the papers, Mr.. Columbus suggested
that Tom Grant should ride the third

Mr.. Grant said that he would just

he did not think it would be fair to
him to let this race go unheralded and
unsung and that positively newspa-
per reporter must accompany him
every step of the way to give a true
and accurate account of the entire
proceeding. Mr.. Wilson suggested the
well known farmer. journalist and corn
boy. John Martin of Kentucky and the
Anacostia flats. Mr.. Martin accepted the
assignment with alacrity.
Therefore the race will be run. A
silver cup has been promised to the
winner. and it is whispered that four
ten-dollar bills have been put up as an
added attraction.
To be sure the general public under
stands the situation, it must be remem-
bered that mule doesn't ever go the
way you want him to, especially in a
race. Neither will he start exactly
right. No mule ever came equipped
with perfect working self-starter.
and no mule ever lived who would not
kick his rider into the next county if
get his feet wet if he can help it. and
there are several wet spots on the
course laid out for the race.
