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 | used
to ride a mule. In some ways these
animals nre better suited to the coun-
try than ponies--they are tougher and
do not contract horse sickness as easi-
ly, writes Lieweiyn Powers Ia the
New York Evening Post.
The parti4lar mule which l rode
was distinguished By having the most
vicious temper Of any animal l have
eSor known. II was quite impossible
10 saddle It unless | put a twitch on
its nose had to carry one on the
end OF my kiboko all the time.
AZ soon as ever Il saw me approach
with the saddle II would give a re-
rles Of the most horrible squealing
screams and begin kicking and kick
ing like the very devil. Sometimes
II would be In 80 vlIlainous a mood
that besides the witch. would have
to get boy 70 holA up one OF Its
front legs However It would give
me no more trouble when l was once
in the saddle. and II seemed quite
Indifferent as to the length Of the
journey took. never appearing to be
in the least tired.
Every time I heard II begin scream
ing used to say to myself: ~what

was not riding would run ont on the

old swahill 10 look after them and
sce that they werr driven back 10 tho

This boy came running 10 me one
evcniDR with look OF absolute
amaxement on his face, 20 say that
the mule had q foai. Nov. By the
laws Of nature I knew II was irnpos-
slhle for mules to breed. So after
had listened 10 his story | simply
told him that he was q liar. He went

OPPORTUNITY SCHOOL.

Never i'm all the many years of its
usefulness has the Opportunity School
opened with more brilliant prospects
than this year. Having successfully
passed the experimental stage it is
now looked upon as an essential link
in our educational chain that grows
stronger and stronger each year. The
gratifying feature to us is found in
the large number of our group taking
advantage of this opportunity. Young
men and women as well as many older
folks are utilizing their spare hours to
great advantage these days. The sue
cess of any institution most invariably
hinges upon the strong personality of
its leader or founders. In this respect
the Opportunity School of Denver re-
fleets in its greatness the sweet per
sonality and strong, indefatigable de-
votion of Miss Emily Griffith.
