NOT ALL VICIOUS
Hunter Revised Opinion of Bad
Tempered Mule.
Strange Desire for Offspring Pressed
the Springs Of That zone
Touch of Nature"

When l was first in Africa l used
to ride mule. In some ways these
animals are better suited to the coun-
try than ponies-they are tougher and
do not contract horse sickness as east
ly, writes Llewelyn Powers in the
New York Evening Post,
The particular mule which l rode
was distinguished by having the most
vicious temper of any animal / have
ever known. 1t was quite impossible
to saddle it unless | put twtch on
its nose. had to carry one on the
end Of my kiboko all the time.
AS soon as ever it saw me approach
with the saddle it would give Sc
ries of the most horrible squealing
screams and begin kicking and kick
ing like the very devil. Sometimes
it would be In so villainous mood
that, besides the twitch, would have
to get a boy to hold up one of its
front legs. However, it would give
me no more trouble when | was once
in the saddle, and it seemed quite
Indifferent as to the length of the
journey I took, never appearing to be
in the least tired.
Every time l heard it begin scream
ing I used to say to myself: "What
a devilish son-of-a-gun you are, with
out single redeeming point. l can
never feel anything but hostility to
such an ill-natured brute"
Well, do you know, before l had
seen the last of it l felt altogether
different And this is how it came
about:
The mule was a mare and wheE /
was not riding would run out on the
veldt with the other horse mares of
the farm. 1t was the business of an
old Swahili to look after them and
see that they were driven back to the
stockade every night.
This boy came running to me one
evening with a look of absolute
amazement on his face, to say that
the mule had a foal. Now, by the
laws of nature / knew it was impos-
sible for mules to breed SO after
had listened to his story l simply
told him that he was liar. He went
away very chagrined at this, swear
ing that he was speaking the truth.
! Presently 1 heard the clatter of
hoofs, indicating the approach Of the
horses driven toward the homestead
by the old Swahil1 at the appointed
hour. l went out to watch them pass.
and while they were still some way
off saw to my utter establishment
little creature tottering by the side of
the mule. However, when they came
nearer still it became obvious that 1t
was the foal of one of the mares.
Under the urge Of the maternal in
stinct the mule had driven the mare
away and was now proposing to moth
er the little thing, although of course
she had no milk whatever to give it.
drove them all into a large yard
and with difficulty got the mare and
foal together again.
! On that occasion l was pretty an
noyed.
EVIL BRUTE" l thought; playing
the fool with the mare like that"

SEEKING sUNKEN TREASURE
Another Effort to Recover $3,000,-
, coo From Wrecked Merida.

!" Norfolk, Va, Oct. 5.-Search for
sunken treasure amounting to $3,-
90, 10000 which has been at the bot
tom of the ocean. eleven years in the
wreck of the Ward Line steamship
Merida is going on at point sixty
miles east of the Virginia Capes,
where the Merida went down after
collision with United Fruit Com
pany's steamer Admiral Farragut.
Word has come from the treasure
! hunters that they believe they have
locatd the wreck Of the vessel and
expect soon to. bring to the surface
the gold, silver and precious stones
which had to be abandoned when
the vessel sunk.
The search for the treasure is be-
ing made from the steamer Ripple,
manned by a picked crew Of twenty
five men, with three Of the best
known divers Of the country. It is
being financed by q group Of promi-
nent New Yorkers. Those aboard the
steamer feel confident that, once
located, the wreck can easily be
stripped of its treasure, which con-
sists Of large :. amount Of silver,
about s500,000 in gold, and guam
tity Of precious stones. She was sunk
in May, 1910, when bound from
Mexico via Havana, for New York,
by the steamer Admiral Farragut.
All her passengers were saved by
ships which answered her s. o. S.
messages. The vessel had 4,700 tons
of copper in her hold, carried as
ballast. She is believed to be resting
on an even keel on a hard sand bot
tom.
The Ripple expedition is the sec
ond to attempt the finding of the
Merida. About four years ago sever
al New York capitalists fitted up a
steamer and dragged for some days
for the wreck. It was believed at one
time that she had been located but
bad weather prevented further oper-
ations.

STANDARD BRED POULTRY
Chicken Specialist Says it Pays To
Have Best. ..
II. 8. .Howie, Secretary.

Clemson College, Oct.-When
starting in the poultry business, it
is very easy to purchase a setting of
eggs from standard bred stock or a
dozen standard bred hens and a
cockerel. The beginner often asks,
"Will it pay to buy good stock rather
than have mongrel birds?" N. R.
Mehrhof, poultry specialist of the
Extension Service thinks it does, for
the following reasons. Y
l.. Standard bred poultry has been
bred for increased egg production.
The ability to lay number of eggs
is an inherited quality, and the
breeders Of today have realized the
Importance of breeding for this quail
ity. = '
g. Eggs and market poultry pro-
duced by standard bred chickens are
more uniform in size, shape, and
quality, and when on the market de-
mand better price. The people are
now demanding quality, and this can
be secured by breeding standard
bred poultry. >.f<' .|,.<...
8. There is constant demand for
good Matching eggs and breeding
stock. The margin over market
prices received for, breeding stock is
pure profit. Then again, the birds
may be shown at the different poul-
try shows, which offer splendid
opportunity to advertise good stock.
4. Standard bred poultry creates
greater interest in the business. The
appearance of birds of uniform size
type, and color is much better than
that of flock Of scrubs varying in
color and weight. f..
Therefore, with the same care,
feed and attention standard bred
poultry will make a greater profit,
and afford greater interest and pleas
ure than will be mongrel flock. ~
The fair season is a good oppor-
tunity to purchase or get in touch
with the best poultry in South Caro-
Ina by visiting the poultry shows
and becoming acquainted with the
breeders and with standard bred poul-
try. as.rr,,.:t a-e

wife, Mrs. Margaret, Eastlake. =
i; William A. Toler, veteran investi-
gator and finger-print expert sent
here by, Governor Westmoreland Da-
Wis to aid the county authorities in

murder, was working in an effort to
fix responsibility for the crime in
connection with which the slain wom-
ans husband, Roger Eastlake, and
Miss Sarah E. Knox, Baltimore

burg jail. Donald Eastlake, brother
of the accused man, was working in
an effort to clear him. II I.
The brother arrived in Fredericks-
burg yesterday from Philadelphia
and after a talk with Roger ex-
pressed belief in the prisoners in
nocence. He declined to make q
statement further than that he
would do all in his power to bring
the perpetrators Of the crime to JUS
