AND IT WAS THE SAME MULE
Friends Tell Good Story on Lawyer Who Has Risen to High
 Position in State.

Col. w. H. Holmes. state superin- tendent of game for the department of conservation, was admitted to the bar on reaching his majority. His first case was to prove that certain mule belonged to certain negro He won the case.
 Subsequently in another mule case he proved the animal belonged to an other negro. Then he was elected dis trict attorney, and the first case he had to prosecute was one concerning a mule. The mule had been stolen and was over the line in Mississippi He was going to abandon the case, when one of his former clients approached him and said.
 "Cunnel. ef I was you all, I'd go after dat mule. Oats de mule been suppohtin' you evar since you was a lawyer"

Now an Electric DolI2

Whoever heard of an electric doll? The idea has been patented by David Zaiden of East Orange, N. J., and, with the help of an armature in the head of the dol and little battery to energize it, he gives to the mani kin lifelike movements of the arms. The arms are connected hy a spiral spring; which passes through tube that is hung on a rod carried by the armature of an electric magnet. When the electric magnet is energized the arms are agitated with movements stimulating life, the effect being in- creased by the resiliency of the spring. Philadelphia Ledger.

DON'T TRUST THE SOCK.

There are many people who still
put their money away in an old
sock or the sugar bowl, and refuse
to trust 1t to Uncle Sam or a good,
solid banking institution. We read
recently where a man lost his straw
hat, and with SIS ne had stored
away inside the hat-band. Another
man gave a bootblack pair OF shoes
to shine--and when too late remem-
bered he had stuffed $4,000 in the
toes OF the shoes for safe-keeping.
And every day we read OF money
stolen from its hiding place under
rug or mattress-the first place a
burglar looks for valuables. But
some people simply can't profit by
these examples; they cannot bring
themselves to realize that nothing
in all the world Isl as safe and Sc
