American Mule in Thrilling Exploits

hShting around Chattanooga Later
he obtained a mule for a mount and
the mule got its baptism of fire in
the hshting at Chlckamauga.
Now it was a peaceful mule and
nothing louder than the sounds OF the
farm had ever assailed its ears until
that day at Chickamauga.
The Mule Retreats.
The company was ordered to charge
through a wood. There had been a
good deal of firing all morning. but the
mule, beyond prickinE up It's ears,
paid no attention to 1t. However,
when the company got into the woods
tho firing was closer and the mule did
not appear to relish 1t at all. Then
some shells began dropping about tho
company. Wherest the mule wheeled
and started for the rear.
The narrator never forgot that. lie
could not turn the mules head toward
the front and he could not stop it. He
did make it pause once or twice, and
all'the time the bullets and shells were
dropping, and every one was yelling
with laughter as the company passed
the man and the mule. The rider
jerked branch from a young tree and
beat the mule, but that had no effect
OH 1t.
The mule started galloping in the
opposite direction and its rider could
not stop under half a mile. Then the
stop was only momentary. for the mule
merely paused long enough to pitch its
rider over it's head. Then the mule
went on its way. He never saw her
again. Smarting with humiliation, he
made his way back through the woods
and finally rejoined his company.
One Of the most stirring stories told
IN the army by old timers is that per-
taining TO Sergeant Hanley and an
nrmy mule. On that fateful days In
1876 when the brave Custer and his

Missouri mule came very near be-
Ing responsible for the humiliation OF
Fteno's battalion on the Little Big
Horn, few miles distant In fact
bad II not been fer one Hanley, an
Irish sergeant, the mule would have
succeeded. A medal Of honor was con-
ferred upon Hsnley for riding that
mule back to the lines. The story OF
his heroic dash is substantially as
follows:
Reno's column, after separating
Fl ON Custer, was attacked by a ire
mendous force OF Indians. The story
of the fight that ensued Is a familiar
ore. The charge that a part of the
gallant white band made turned the
tide OF defeat, although a dozen brave
p,en were lost.
After the charge across the open
the army OF the reds and the atten-
uated line OF the whites were parallel
and face TO face. There was enough
courage in the troopers OF the Sew
eEth and of the other outfits along
the Montana River to make up for the
ten to ono numbers OF the reds, but

army mule started out not only to
make 1t worse but apparently hope

There was little ammunition with
Reno's column and most OF that was
on the back of the Missouri mule

cause OF its unusual size and strength.
Away Goes Ammunition.
The long cared ammunition bearer
was with the pack train to the right
and rear OF the squadron. which was
lying facing the enemy along the edge
OF the wood. A Sioux bullet went over
the heads OF the skirmishers and with
a far reaching trajectory tore an

Roughly speaking, mules are d.
vided into two classes, the cotton and
the sugar mule. The latter is the bet
ter grade, the huge, we'll built animals
which are, used on the sugar planta-
tons Of the far South. while the cotton
mules are smaller and more adapted
for use in the cotton fields.
In the agricultural districts OF the
South, outside the cotton and sugar
districts, the sugar mule Is used.
Mules have also figured largely in
our wars. but the American mule
abroad has not been so successfully
employed, for the reason, II has been
said by one officer, that his darby
