THE VIRTUES OF THE MULE,
Read what one of America’s greatest
editors say about the mule, that des-
pised creature of teil, and probably you
will manifest a more kindlier spirit to
this noble animal :
The mule is despised and rejected of
men, but like some other things at which
foolish mortals turn up the nose, he is
one of mankind's best friends and use.
ful co-workers,
He looks funny, but he is not. Life
with him is very serious. When he is
working he is thinking about when he
can eat, What could be more
than that ?
nothing elise. He does not play, he is
works and when he is not
is getting ready to work, He is prob-
ably the best worker ig the world.
He is no aristocrat. He isnot bour.
geois, He is plum proletariat.
Though Emory Storrs said that he is
without in ancestry or hope of posterity,
the mule remains the most dependable
of all the dumb creatures that toil
man,
The late war was won by men—and
mules. The Quartermaster-General of
the Army, in his report of the war de-
clares that the mule proved himself to
be more ‘valuable than the horse. Hé
has more sense, more presence of mind
and less fear,
He kept his head even on the firing
line when all about him was panic.
The Encyclopaedia Britanaica says of
him :
*“The mule possesses the sobriety,
patience and sure-footedness of the
ass and the vigor, strength and cdur-
age of the horse,”
To which may be added, ‘add some.”
For a mule will never founder himself
as a horse will do. He knows when he
has got enough to eat, which is more
than some mortals know.
He will not make himself sick gorging
on wajer, even on the hottest days.
He can be kegt shod for half what it
costs to shoe the horse,
He can pull a heavier load, keep go-
ing longer, stand more abuse, get along
on less to eat and. on less care than the
horse, 1
And contractors say that for all
around utility he is cheapef and more
satisfactory than a gasoline tractor,
As far back as we can trace authentic
history we find him patiently bearing
men's burdens,
He made possible the trittmphs of
Alexander, the conquests of Caesar, the
campaigns of Charlemagne and the bril.
liant victories of Napoleon. Also he
was on hand, dragging the ammunition
wagons and supplies for Pershing’s men
in the yecent unpleasantness.
‘Prices are falling on silks,” steel, ba.
con, codfish and hired girls, but the
price of mules is advancing steadily. In
the Middle West mules are about the
only commodity that is holding its oWn
in the market, and the ,Western live.
stock journals say that mule prices will
probably go higher,

A SOLDIER VETERAN HAS FALL-

Solomon Beirly, son ot Michael and
Mary Mallory Beirly, whose family re-
sided at Madisonburg, Centre county,
Pa., passed beyond this vale and entered
into rest at his farm-home near Selig-
man, Missouri, on March 1s*, 1921. He
was an active member of “A” Company,
145th P. V., which regiment was com-
manded by that tatrepid soldier, Colonel
James A. Beaver, of Bellefonte, Pennsyl-
vania, the same who later served his
State as Governor,
Brother Solomon was a mere strip of a
lad, less than sixteen years of age, at
the time of his enlistment, It was his
privilege to take active part in four of
the fiercest battles of the Civil War,
viz., Gettysburg, The Wilderness,
Spottsylvania and Coal Harbor. In the
latter engagement, he was badly wound-
ed and was sent to the hospital, “where
his wounds slowlyhealed, enabling him
subsequently to assume the duties of a
very active life,
Soop after his return frog the war, he
ventured into the far West, where an
uncle resided; there to make his future
home, near the town of Seligman, Mis-
souri, where he began the development
of a farm. He soon married an estimab-
le young woman, from which ugion 6
children were-born, four girls and o

both in cereals and in fruit.
Being a man of frugal, industrious
habits, and high moral character, Broth-
er Solomon was rarely affected with
serious ailments, Several months ago
he begin to suffer a decline, liowever,
and now has passed over the great di-
vide into his eternal rest. The end
came silently and peaceful.
Brother Solomon's acts of benevolence
were many and prompt. As soon as
his children and gr .nd children became
of age, be bestowed upon each the al
lotted share of his possessions, which fact
was truly magnanimous, and is wosthy
of emulation.
His wife Martha preceded him to the
Homeland some twenty years ago.
Thereafter his youngest daughter, Mrs,
Lola Beirly-Murry, bad the care of the
home, in which she acted the noble part
of a true ministering angel.
Without more’ educational advantages
than the commonest of the common
school at Madisonburg, our home village,
Brother Solomon's mind nevertheless
wonderfully, His attam-
ments along certain lines became schol-
arly. Had be bad a University trainiog
he would undoubtedly have risen to
fame in some noted profession.

Sweet rest that in heaven alone can
