Tribute to the Mule. (Louisville Courier-Journal.) The mule is singularly free from the ills to which horseflesh is heir. He has more days' work in him in 365 consecutive days than any farm animal or farm engine. He requires less feed when at work than any horse that can approach his capacity, for when he is idle he -an forage suc cessfully where the draft horse finds the picking too slim. He takes pot luck with any owner cheerfully and keeps fit upon it. In peace the mule is man's most faithful servant, although the gen tlest of his kind is not entirely free from original sin, and the oldest may experience unaccountable sporatlo outbreaks of devilment. In war the mule retains his char acter as a hard toller, a good scout and a homely figure, about whom the poets and painters at the front do not grow enthusiastic. Although he Is unsung when living and not great ly honored, he Is not unwept when, at 30 or beyond, he lies down, sighs peacefully rather than regretfully, and gives up his Spartan spirit. If there is a hereafter for animals the mules' paradise Is a series of Elyslan fields with fences that only a good jumper can clear, with colts to chase, with something alive, and preferably two-legged, to kick, and with plenty of rough, plain victuals and a few goats to play with in spor tive moods, and negro drivers, not brutal, yet not too indulgent, for hu man companionship. Mrs. Hiram Clark and daughter are reported improving from their re cent sickness.
