ONLY NEEDED TURNING OVER Remedy Prequently Effective With Small Boy Worked Well With Recalcitrant Mul«* A mule drawing a furniture ran down Broadway got tired of th« Job and lay down. Soon a crowd gathered and ventured all manner of advice to the driver, relates the New York Times. Louis Schefl, an electrician, of 162 Amsterdam avenue, suggested that twisting the mule’s ears would force It to rise, and put his idea into prac tice, but Ineffectually, while the crowd shouted “Whisper in its ear. ^ Schefl next tried pulling the mule’s tail. Mrs. Anna Schott of 304 Omster- dam avenue, a passenger on a Broad way surface car, who is a member of the Humane society, construed the electrician’s efforts as cruelty and had Scheff arrested. Detective Sharp of the West Sixty- eighth Street station, who cornea from the south and knows mules, took one look at the fallen mule and said: “You’ll never get that mule up—^It'a lying on Its left side.” “What’s that got to do with. ItT manded the driver. "Everything,” replied Sharp. Ropes were tied to the mule’s hoof*, and It was turned over on its right Bide.

You might forget It, and besides, I have no watch, and If I wake up during the night I like to know the time.” The clerk suggested that there was a telephone In the room, but that would not do, so he called the house* keeper, who loaned the fair gugflt alarm clock.

The weakness of the cause of the Protectionists could not well be better demonstrated than by the fact that, at the hearings before the Ways and Means Committee at Washington, the protected manufacturers and the other beneficiaries of the protective system have, in almost every instance, been driven to fall back on the outworn plea that they can not compete with the products of cheaper foreign labor, if denied support at the hands of the government in the shape of protective tariff duties. In the first-place, American manu facturers are successfully competing with the products of this allied cheaper foreign labor in the neutral markets of the world, under conditions of absolute free trade, and with the costs of ocean freight and insurance against them. To say chat, without tariff protection, they could not just as successfully compete with the prod- ucis of this selfsame alleged cheaper foreign labor in the domestic market, where the costs of ocean transporta tion and insurance are in their favor, is to deal in the palpably ridiculous.— Va. Pilot. Not Constructed Along Lines of Beau* ty, but for Hard Work They Are Perfection. The Yukon sled, while not a thing of beauty, U built to stand all kinds of hard wear, or, as the Irishman said, “It will last fc’*ever, and after I that can be used for firewood.” The sled Is about eight feet long, is made of any kind of hard wood, lies close to the ground, costs from |10 to $14. and makes a trail sixteen inches in width. Another pattern is known as the basket sleigh, and it is to the Yukon sleigh what a three-mast schooner Is to a coal barge, in lengt it Is from eight to fifteen feet, is made of blrch, oak or hickory, cuts a trail twenty-two Inches in width, costs from MO to |200, is raised a foot or more from the runners, and. In the best ex amples, is lashed together with raw hide. The basket sleigh, as its name Implies, is fitted with a basket, into which the load is placed, and from the back of the basket a pair of handles project, to be used lu guiding the sled on the trail. It often hap pens that a Yukon sled will be fitted with a home-made basket, in imitation of its more aristocratic brother. In very cold weather wooden runners are best, but In ordinary circumstances Steel or brass runners are used.— Wide World Magazine. DURHAM, AMERICAN SOLDIER THE BEST World’s Records for Marksnnanship All His, and He Is Trained to Act on His Own Initiative. If there is one big, distinguishing :ralt of the United States regular, it .8 individuality. In every one of the great foreign military nations, particu larly Germany and Japan, batallion ind company officers and enlisted men ire carefully trained not to think for Lhercselves. They are used as mere :hess pieces under the guidance of a master mind. In this country, where 3ur melting pot has yielded us an ex- I iraordinary self-reliant, cool thinking, j.ntensive initiative product, it is only jaatural that our soldiers should be I trained as are our civilians. The United States army spends an- • aually on rifle target practice flve ! limes the sum spent by any other i irmy of an equal number of men. This applies, too, to our field and coast ar- ' Lillery. As a result, no better marks- The time has arrived when we wish t3 clean house quickly of all remaining winter merchandise.

A red sunset means very little to the man in the Btreet, but to the man among the lanes it indicates rain and bad weather. Smoke that rises straight in the air is another of the signs that a farmer notlcea and fore tells bad weather. CircleB about the moon and sun, streaks of grMtay clouds and the peculiar actions birds and domestic animals are all in* dications of some change in the weather to the man whose eye has been trained to recognize the slgni.

Rousseau's Etiquette of Love. Before Rousseau, love was a highly refined form of social intercourse, a species of gallantry conducted witn self-restraint, and all the formalities of special etiquette; any extravagancy, whether in feeling, in speech, or in ill!
