Mules defend themselves from that which they do not understand. They become accustomed to lieing harnessed and unharnessed while colts, and it Is traditional that a mule never kicks while living saddled or harnessed. The beast knows what that means. But it is also traditional that a mule sleeps with one eye open. He Is al ways alert to whatsis going on about him.

He went to 1:1s physician, submitted to '» thorough examination and waited the word which was to consign him to the scrap heap.

I am going to put you on a rigid diet, and I want you to walls—walk— walk.” The man who thought he was going Into a decline demurred at the doctor’s suggestion of a rigid diet. The diet prescribed consisted of milk—only milk —and the man who saw visions of the scrap heap loved his “vlttles,” but he decided to follow the doctor’s orders. He stuck to the rigid diet And he made it a practice to walk two mileB to the office every morning, rain or shine. The ease with which he acquired a scorn for the Btreet car after a week or two astonished him. At the end of a week of dieting and walking, this man began to look upon life with different eyes. His work, which had been a burden, began to as sume an attractive glow. At the end of two weeks, with a modified but still skimpy diet, and more walking, he be gan to catch himself in the act of run ning up the stairs instead of dragging ' himself up by main force.
