SAM SURELY MISJUDGED MULE
LibeIous to Call Animal Blind When
Its Only Fault Was Absolute
Lack Of Fear.

Nose was trying to sell Sanbo a
mule. The mule was lying on the floor
Of the barn. II doan wan no dald
mule" said Sambo.
"He amt dnid," said Nose; and
with his whip he forced the mule to
Il standing posture. But Sambo re-
manned cold on the proposition.
"Ah see he amt daid," said Sambo.
But he kalnt run. an All done wants
Il mule as runs"
Nose, thus challenged, with vigor-
Gus kick so energized the mule that
away 1t went, running down the street,
with marvellous speed.
But Sans delight at the activity of
tile mule was short.lived, for bang,
the mule ran head-on into a tree.
'FO' de lord" exclaimed Sam. "he
amt daid he kin run, but he's blind.
All, dOan' wan no blind mule"

Why, lordy, lordy, boy, dat mule ain't

HAD TO MAKE FULL ROUND
Clergyman Who Wanted to Test vir.
tues Of the TreadmiII Given Full
Opportunity.

A Britisher tells n story OF n mem
Der of the clergy who took too large Il
mOuthful on one occasion.
He was visiting the county jail and
expiated to n friend who was with
him on the virtues of the treadmill.
Warming up with his theme, he de.
clared that he often wished he had one
at home to give him the gentle exer-
else he required, and to remove his
friends skepticism. he asked the
warden to give him turn.
Round went the wheel, the clergyman
declaring that the movement was de.
lightful but after TWO minutes he had
had enough and desired the officer to
stop the mill. TO his horror the Off
Ger answered:
Very sorry, sir, hut can't. It's
lined to 90 - minutes and won't stop"

G EPARATE agreements entered into
- By striking shopmen and railways
representing about one-fifth Of the
c0untry's mileage last week brought
about a break In the strike that has
lasted for some 70 days and threaten
ed the nations transportation facili-
ties with decentralization. II Is be-
lieved some other railways will soon
make the same arrangement with the
men. these including the Rock Island,
the Burlington and the Northern Pa!
cific.
Some Of the big lines, notably the
Pennsylvania. have not adopted the
settlement plan. They assert they al.
ready have won the strike and will
not make terms with the men VINO
went out. OF the roads accepting the
agreements the most important are:
New York Central lines and subsi-
diaries. including Michigan Central,
Boston and Albany, and Big Four
Chicago. Milwaukee and st. Paul /;
Erie; Chicago aid Northwestern and
its subsidiary, the Chicago, st. Paul,
Minneapolis and Omaha: Baltimore
and Ohio; Seaboard Air line; South
ern railway; New York, Chicago and
st. Louis; The Monon; Wheeling and
Lake Erie.
The agreements are, as they should
he, compromise. All the strikers. ex.
cent those proven guilty Of acts Of
violence, are to be taken back within
thirty days at thu prevailing pay
prescribed by the federal railway
labor board, and In the shops where
they were formerly employed. but not
necessarily at the same jobs. There
is no specific provision regarding the
matter Of seniority rights, but 1t is
believe this issue can be worked out
satisfactorily after the men are back
ut work. Any controversies arising
from the strike that cannot be settled
otherwise are to be referred TO com
mission to be established. consisting
Of six representatives Of the labor or.
ganizations involved and six repre-.
sentatives Of the railroads. This COM
mission is to remain In existence only

II Earring on the motion to have
l 1 the strike Injunction obtained
by Attorney General Daugherty
changed into preliminary restraining
order until n trial began last week
before Federal Judge Wilkerson in
Chicago, and the attorney general an
nounced that 1t would proceed despite
the partial agreements reached. The
temporary injunction was extended
ten days, but the court warned the
government forces it would not be
further extended. The government
presented many thousands Of afiidavits
telling Of acts of violence and threats
and other circumstances, all tending
to prove its theory that conspiracy
existed, which in effect INSTRUCTED in
terstate commerce.
Mr.. Daugherty's determination TO
press the case to decision is based
on his belief that the principles ut
stake are more important than any
immediate issue or effect. The injunc.
ton, he thinks, II granted beyond the
ten days now fixed by the court. will
not only protect the workers who have
taken places Of strikers on roads not
In the settlement, but will reach the
question Of responsibility Of union
leaders for acts OF violence.
