THE H7JiK VINDICATED.
Tho army mule has been placed
upon trial and his abounding virtues
and merits again achieve for him
victory. The mule stands vindicat
ed. An effort was recently made to
supplant the aTmy mule with the
traction engine. Experts were sum
moned to testi?y as to the compara
tive merits of the7engine and the
mule, with the result above named.
Science goes away limping. All the
combined efforts of modern-day
genius have failed completely and
irretrievably to invent any sort of
mechanism able to "cope with him.
The hearing brought out' the fact
that while "the traction engine would
best the Patron of Perversity on
good roads on level country, the mule
had the engine beat to a frazzle in
mountainous country, where army1
experts have spoken and Science
must acept the answer. Again the
mule carries off the blue ribbon.
While the News does not profess
any superabundant affection for him
of the long ers and fleet heer it is
willing to give the devil his due,
and it canoti be gainsaid that when
there is a difficult task to perform
when the aristocratic horse tries and
fails, when all human agencies are
spent in vain, then it is that Balaam
rises like a toweling Colossus and
saves the day. .The mule is re
nowned for the heftvy loads he is able1
to draw as well as the enemies he
makes. Like a great many people,
he -is insidious, illusive, hard to lo
cate, butface to face with duty, he
rarely ever shirks or implores quar
ter. The mule is not much of a mix
er. His greatest pleasure is found
in silent communication with him
self, and woe is the man who at
tempts to disturb the reveries of a
reminiscent mule. Neither is the
mule of a sociable turn of mind. If
he were a woman no one could ever'
call her a coquette. As a snuggler
she would-be a' dismal failure, and
the last state of the man who at
tempted to make advances would be
worse than the first. Fiery, high
strung bubbling over with the exhfl
eratfon of robust health, the mule is,
after, all, a pretty good exponent of
originaity and substantial worth and
while the mule has never had 'any
special reason to exult over a proud
ancestry, the unanimous opinion of
the army experts must be flattering
to his ears. Charlotte Ncrws.
Maybe if you care to - learn any
thing more about the mule, Wm.
Bryan couul help-fou-out.
