COULDN'T KILL MULE
sold roeE" NONE THE WORSE
FOR LONG IMMERSION.
incident Of the Civil War Shows How
Hard II Is to Separate Govern
ment Pack Animal From
Uncle Sans Rations.

Y. p. Hotchkiss, adjutant OF PM
Sheridan post G. A. r. of Oak Park
Ill. tells the following experience
with a government mule. AS an arm,
telegrapher Mr.. Hotchkiss was at
tached to the staff of General Candy
in the final Mobile campaign.
"The entire outfit for the construc
ton of the army telegraph lines says
Mr.. Hotchkiss, was carried on the
backs of forty pack mules. A coil OF
half a mile Of wire hung upon each
side of the saddle.
There were six young operators
one from each corps, mounted on
horses. To these boys had been in
trusted the government cipher and
knowledge of the advance movement
of the troops. These secrets were safe,
as none Of the young fellows ever be
trayed trust.
For the Mobile campaign the mules
were drilled in the streets of New
Orleans to follow the lead Of the mule
teer or the horse Of the chief opera
tor.
Zone day, while following in the
rear Of the army up the peninsula
from Dauphine island, the entire train
was trailing along in the rear Of the
chief operator, who knew nothing
about ocean tides. The reel mule,
Old lobe from whose back was IN
coiled the wire, was in advance and
followed his leader into an arm of the
Gulf OF Mexico. The operators horse
was soon beyond his depth and was
swimming for shoal water when it was
seen that Old lobe had sunk beneath
his heavy load The muleteer swan
his borse to where the reel mule had
gone down, and after diving twice,
came up gasping for breath.

the Spanish fort he said, but I'll get
him this time, sure He dove again,
and with his clasp knife cut the belly

the animal of his load. old lobe
fioated to the surface, shook the water
from his ears, was towed ashore,
pumped out, and few hours later was
again making the march for Fish river.
Save for dragging a little, he showed
little sign of his experience; but he
had been under water long enough to
have killed anything but a government
mule"
Some 200 army operators. who,
though many of their number were
killed or taken prisoners of war, are
ineligible to a government pension, are
the recipients of private pensions in
their old age from their comrade, An

Birds, Nests Cause Fire.

Birds nests under the roof of two

Twentieth street and Sedgley avenue,
Philadelphia, caused fire when they
became ignited by sparks from hot
sand in a mixer. The roof OF the build

Nests are frequently found under

They were cleaned away recently, but
the birds quickly rebuilt them.
