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.
