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

Thinking the animal made mistake
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
her contrary disposition. 1t is a mine
classic that she kicks the airpipe two
feet above her for exercise.
With Fred Wales, however, it is diff
ferent. 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 spoiled child.
It is merely a matter of tempera-
ment, he says, and the other men do
not uuuerStdHu Hel. Ills IdlLI was
shaken temporarily, but not for long,
In the physicians office he took of
fense at suggestion that the mule
should be killed on account of her
viciousnesS and rushed to her defense

Temperament of cameIs.

Bearing an innate grudge against all
restraint and all who restrain him, the
camel will use the great strength of
his long legs to kick his keepers or the
dogs which guard him In the waste
places, but in the presence of enc
mics, among wolves or other beasts
of prey, he is coward, forgets the
very use of his legs and proves his
erratic temper by screaming and spit
ting in terror. No camel wants to be
loved, and no one familiar with camels
ever entertains the least affection for
them. They make savages of what
ever people breeds them. The man who
owns and uses camels cannot live in
a city, he cannot travel the highways
through cultivated country, he cannot
have a permanent abiding place. He
is doomed to live in deserts and arid
grasslands, to follow the paths that
are lined with evergreen thOrns, tama-
risks and bitter weeds, to drink the
saline water that his evil tempered
beasts prefer and to avoid the haunts

circles the deserts, says Rodney Gil

The French are psstmasters in the
art of draping fabrics. A Parisienne
has truthfully said that French taste
is distinctly feminine and as clear as
the Gallo language itself, says an ex-
change. 1t possesses the genius OF
curves, the secret of what is graceful
and the intuition of what brings about
harmony. These characteristics are
all to be found in French art, French
Industries and French creations.
1t is in France that we find the
