MULE IS Misunderstood

An invasion of the Turks bestowed
the gift of coffee on Europe and the
western world, and the world war
has introduced the American mule
to people overseas who have never
known that noble animal. The Brit
ish military authorities have always
recognized its merits as demonstrate
ed by our army in all our wars. and
since 1914 the British armies both
in the east and in the west have
been supplied with thousands OF
mules. II is now desired to contrib
ute the surplus usefully among the
civil population, but in England an
"unaccountable prejudice" against
them is reported.
The prejudice is perhaps natural,
considering that the mule has long
been favorite theme for the thought
less jokesmith. Even in some parts
of the United States the notion still
persists that it is an obstinate and
cantankerous beast. The favorable
testimony of military men might fall
to overcome the absurd Judgment,
but a little experience with this most
gentle, as well as most capable OF
draft animals would surely correct
the unjust impression of it's charac-
teristic attributes that apparently pre-
walls among the English. Spain knows
the mule and esteems it even above
the horse.
There are said to be 10000 mules
at the remount stations in England,
for which the army has no further
use. but civilians are not inclined to
buy them. The authorities are adj
vertising the mules strong points,
wonderful strength and endurance
and moderate appetite as compared
to horse, while for every horse
that goes sick, less than half mule

lecting his early education
Toms master had occasion not long
ago to go into the fields of south
ern state, bird hunting. He took Tom
along, although he didn't depend on
him. That is, he knew that the dog
lacked training, and he therefore ar
ranged for better trained dogs for
the hunt. But he took Tom along
out of sheer affection Tor him, rather
than in the belief that Tom would
be any account in the field.
The first day of the hunt Tom was
turned loose, after numerous apollo
gies to the rest of the hunters. His
master said that if he proved detri.
ment to the other dogs he would call
him in. But he wanted to see him
in the field, after two years, just to
see IL the old fellow really under
stood the game.
The party had two splendid dogs
for the hunt~-carefully trained point
ers that could be depnded upon. They
we're familiar with the lay of the land
and Tom wasn't. They had hunted
over every foot Of 1t and were in the
hands of their trainers. They OF
course had every advantage over
Tom. So we watched Tom trembl
ingly as the three dogs started over
the stubble.
Tom was a little abashed at first
Everything was strange to him. The
other two dogs started off at break
neck speed, while Tom circled around
within hundred yards of the hunt
ers. But within a few moments Tom
caught the scent of quail-and point
ed them out--and from that moment
he was changed dog. He caught
onto the game. He circled the fields
as he found them, ahead of the other
dogs. He found the birds and stood
them. He was everywhere a bird DOG
