mule mare, % years old, bred by
The Texas Agricultural College to an
1S-vear-old stallion, foaled colt
which has all the appearances OF a
horse. The thing was said to be against
nature and science, but the college
authorities, headed by DR.. E. P. Hum
bert. professor of the new department
of genetics, say the occurrence is au-
thentic. The test was conducted I'M
der supervision.
The mule mare belongs to t. L..
Branham. Mount Alba, Texas, who two
years ago bred the mare to jack
and was rewarded with a mule colt
! from that cross. The story came to
the ears of Prof W. L. Stangel, OF the
| animal husbandry department OF the
COLLEGE, and he arranged for test
under strict surveillance which would
| leave no doubt of the mules ability
/ to reproduce offspring.
/ The breeding was done under the
direction of Professor Stangel with
| Dean E. J. Kyle in general charge.
| DR.. Humbert. DR.. R. P. Marsteller and

| followed the test officially and pro-
nounced it authentic.

belong to the Khan, we don't know
about it. From inquiry in other towns
in this neighborhood we find the same
thing is true.
The Catholics and Jews are not
fighting the Khan because they call
themselves the Khan or because they
omit them from membership in it, but
because they are Icing about and
slandering them. We wouldn't give a
penny for a man who wouldn't fight
back, when others are openly Icing
about him or slandering either him
self, his family, his country or his
religion.

was pointed out recently by Thomas

Bureau Chief, following the first
thunder storm here in years. The
reason for this lack of electric
storms, according to Blair. is that
the island Is swept almost con-
tinuously by a sea breeze, which
serves to drive the charged thunder

WABASH SONG
COMPOSER
Memorial Planned to Dresser,
Who Wrote Sentimental
Song Of River.
By LLOYD MELLETT,
international News Service.

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 1.-"On
the Banks of the Wabash" isn't SO
much Of a song as 1t is feeling
and to have that feeling one doesn't
have to live in the neighborhood,
say the leaders of the Paul Dresser
Memorial movement.
Rivers have always carried a
strong appeal to song writer's as
well as to song singers, and they
have formed the theme for count.
less plaiQtive melodies.
The Mississippi has furnished
plenty of inspiration, as has the
silvery Colorado, the beautiful Ohio
and the Potomac; but for sheer
worth the wabash" has survived
and bids fair to become classic
along with the ."Swanee'. among
river songs.
/. 1t is a sort of leftover from
those days of sentimental tenden-
cies of a quarter of century ago
-one of the dreary, hopeless out
pourings which perhaps often be-
came nnaudlin rather than genuine,
the kind which caused a gulp-IlOt

and verses.
Other Songs by Him.
Almost contemporary, II not
quite, with such "heart-touching
melodies as "Just Tell Them That
You Saw Me"--also by Dresser.

"She Was Happy Till She Met
You," "She Was Only q Bird in Q

were some other real ballads"
which went the way of some of
the frivolous songs of today, but
which can be recalled with ease by
many whose memories are not very
long either.
Much has been said on the his

Dresser said he composed part OF
the words and his brother the
music.
