It you are an h-jr we vt iil recover the t stale, for yoa. No recovery, 1 FLIPP" Mit. EniTon, you are aware of the fact that Mr, J. D. Ileffon, traveling agent for the Domestic Sewing Machine, has been driving a mule for the past two weeks, well that mule is all mule,. I was at the hotel Monday morning , when Mr. Heffron started out, that mule was Jast creeping though the lash was being mantully applied,. Boon after panning the hotel that raule took a notion and that potion was to get on the side walk and he got there,' despite the efforts of the driver to persuade him stay off. Seeing that all efforts to guide him were in vain, Mr. If., alighted and by force push ed him back in the track and started again, wheu near the corner of 4th street that mule took another notion and tried to go around the. corner, and I don't think if an inch rope nad been fasten to the bit with the other end around Peal's shop that that mule would have gone his way. Mr. Hef. fronatlast turned the -mule in the track but be had decided if.be could not go his way he would not go at all,v so there he Htood rooted to the spot, friend H., let his angry passion rise and . began to ply the lash with all his might, this seemed to insult the dignity of bis muleship and getting light b?hiud he began to fan the flies out of the drivers face with his heels, every time the mule kicked the driver moved and before the kicking was over Mr. II., had climbed to the loftiest peak of the rear machine wisely giving the mule free play. This Mr. Editor recalls to my mind an incident of long ago when I was a boy, I was driving a mule and boy like was care less with the reins and let one of them get under his feet and in some way it got wrap ped around the mule's foot, that mule he began to kick, the first lick tore .the bottom out of the cart and I fell in the road amid a shower of splinters, what happened daring the next few minutes I never knew, but as I was coming to I remember feeling the sand fall in my face, on getting up I saw that old mule lying in the road with only about 12 inches of the line tied around its foot, and still it was kicking. Did you hear about those young ladies going fishing last week? They got a little boat and secured the services of a little colored chap and went out in the river to catch, a beau I recon, after fishing for some time one of them brought to the surface an eel, what excitement, the lady et go the tackle and cried snakes, and the boy sajs he "'specks de lady would er fainted if de boat hadn't biu bo 6iuall, but he took an. toler hit want nufin but er eel," seeming to be satibfied after seeing the boy take the eel off the hook she tried her luck again, but just then the other lady gave a scream and brought to sight a cat fish, this ended their adventure as fishermen. . Tbey should not get out of heart for their success is as good as most ladies have, they all make bo much f nss that the fish get out of tho way if possible. "That wife of mine'' Went fishing once wjth a party, of young people and the whole party often only caught one fish, and she says they always spit on the bait to give them luck too. Its no use I don't believe the ladies are built far catch, ing fish. . ' FOLLIES OF LADIES BY yiTLAG E VTH KEL-WIUQ IIT. Written for the Da icon.
