MULE MISSED HER TOBACCO
TemperamentaI Mountain Canary Not
Blamed for Planting Hoofs in Back
of Her Only Friend.

Thinking the animal made a mistake
In not knowing whom she was kicking
or it was his fault because he forgot
to give her the usual chew of tobacco,
Fred Wales Of Grass Valley, CAL, who
carried his arm in a sling for some
time as the result of a kick from Bes-
sic, excuses his partner of fourteen
years for injuring him.
The mule is known to every en-
ployee of the mine, $50 in all, and
while there is no affection for her
among 449 of them, they all have a
wholesome respect for her in spite of
her contrary disposition. 1t is mine
classic that she kicks the airpipe two
feet above her for exercise.
With Fred Wales, however, it is diff
Trent. He has worked with Bessie
FOR fourteen years and has become at
tached to the animal He excuses her
vagaries as an indulgent mother con-
dones the actions of a spoiled child.
1t is merely a matter of tempera
not understand her. His faith was
shaken temporarily, but not for long.
In the physicians office he took of
tense at a suggestion that the mule
should be killed on account of her
viciousness and rushed to her defense.
'It was perhaps my fault it certain
Iy was not hers. Bessie either did not
know who it was when she kicked or
I had forgotten to give her the usual
chew of tobacco. I am willing to take
all the blame"
