aj:rr:m:s:n:n--::rrnT:!:
OCCASIONALLY you bear some
one speak in u contemptuous
volen of that sort of travel
which sees countries from the car win
dow. Now, the observing man sees
plenty from tho car window, and if ho
travels enough ho will got a pretty good
idea of people and places in that mannor.
For instance coming down through
Vlrgiuia a view from tho car window
catches an occasional glimpse of tho
methods of travel on the country roads.
Some uncommonly good horses are seen,
and somo good carriages and wagons.
Then some queer old vehicles that date
way back before tho war are visible,
and some thatnlmostsuggest the colony
days. Somo horses are not so present
able, and tho Yankee is amused by a
mule and a horse being yoked together:
hitched perhaps in a tasty surrey or
some less presentable vehicle. Theso
are all the better outfits.
Presently tho primitive motive power
is seen In an ox team, or pei-nupa
singlo, ridiculous little ox, of a small
and forlorn paUern, such as is nover
encountered anywhere elso outside of
Dixieland. Tho wholo range, from
some of the finest horses in tho world
to the most unpretentious little oxen,
are found in Virginia, and tho reasons
are plain : the planter can havo good
horses ; the negro, who tills a bit of
low ground, has no money to buy a
horse, and so ho impresses his two year
old steer. The steer is worked with a
collar and with a bit in his mouth. Of
all the patient and pitifully abject
creatures under the sun, tho negro's
lone steer seems to mo to bo the ex
treme.
Thfl mule is the main standby of the
South in the matter of transportation
on the roads. Tho mule of the South
ranges from gilt edged to exceedingly
bud. As he stands tho climate and the
rough work better than tho horse, ho
is the burden-bearer. Ho is hardier,
easier to keep, subject to less of diseases
and above all. he does not suffer so
much from the ill-treatment that is
common practice at tho hands of his
colored driver. It is a singular fact
that the darky takes more kindly to the
mule than to the horse. One old color
ed driver told me one day that when
God made the white man he made a
horse for the man, but whon it came
tho turn of the negro to have something
to ride and drive the mule was thought
of.
The mule is such a useful animal that
ho often supplants the horse in favor,
so that it is uot surprising to one who
has been much lu the South to seo
mules hauling . pretentious carriages,
and doing excellent service as saddle
beasts.
It is only fair to tho mule to say that
ho is much maligned by those who do
not know him well. A colored man
who lives in my neighborhood tells mo
that a mule is not such a kicker as some
people he knows, ne Insists that most
mules are as innocent as little children.
But on the other hand another colored
man who has had lots to do with mules
says a mule is sly. " When you sees a
mule totin' right along and makin' out
it dun plumb got rcllgin, yo' has got to
watch dat mule, for a mulo will be good
twenty ycahs to get a chance to kicK
once. "
Like in many other things, it is
noticed that expert testimony can be
had for either Bide of the question. At
the same time I feel sure there is some
thing about a mule that will stand
further investigation. I have a neigh
bor who owns a fine pair of mules.
During tho fall and summer he would
drive over to see me occasionally, usual
ly using his two-seated surrey. One
day the surrey was out of order, and ho
enme with the two mules to a covered
delivery wagon.
" Why didn't you come with one mulo
and tho buggy ? " I asked him.
" Doi.'t know what one will do alono,
he answored.
He came over again tho next week
with ono mulo hitched to the buggy.
I Baw him the next day.
" I told you, " he said, " that I didn't
know what that mule would do If I
drove ono in tho buggy and lolt tne
other one at home. Well, I know now.
The one that Btayed home just kicked
the wholo side out of my barn. "
Tho next time ho came over with one
mule hitched to the buggy and the
other mulo trotting along a few rods
behind, so she would not be at home
lonosomo. We have a donkey at tbe
houso for the children. Whsn the
mules started for homo the doukey
slipped away with the loose mulo, and
when tho man was about half way home
be had time of his l'fu to prevent the
mule that was hauling the buggy from
starting down through the woods with
the donkey and the loose mule, which
had determined on a few side trips from
the regular excursion. Which is
further evidence that the mule is
eccentric.
" Ye'h'm, " says Uncle Jerry. 'GI
me a mule when you want to pull any
thing. Ah nova seed any boss to pull
like a mule. Yuh take that old mule
of Mistah Jim Watson's. Yo' hit dat.
mule when he straightens out to pull, an'
yo' got to begin to mend do traces right
'way.
" Kick, Uncle Jerry ?" I asked.
"Kick! No, sir. Gentle as a lit'l
baby. Jes' plumb lay down an' pull.
Can't make hawness strong 'noogh for
him. "
" But, Undo Jerry, how about Mor
gan's red mulo ? Will it kick?"
"Nevah seed it kick; but dat's a
mighty goln' mulo. Dat mule donn
wait for no foolishness. When you
takes do hawness off'n dat mule all yo'
has to do is to loose do hame string an'
stand hack. Ho des' gives one or two
shakes an' yo' go an' picks up yo' haw-nos.

The Colonel' Waterloo.
Colonel John M. Fuller, of Honey
Grove, Texas, nearly met his Waterloo,

I ti led my family doctor, he did mo no
good ; so I got a 50c bottle of your grmt
Electric Bittors, which cured tne. I

ing in which the wires of tbe latter

of business, the wire of O. C. F. S. Co.
went down along. Since then the gas
company has been using tho Bell tele
phone from Brookville to this placo.

Incredible Ilru tnlll)'.
It would have been incredible brutal
ity if Chas. F. Lomborgor, of Syracuse,
N. Y., had not done the best ho could
for his Buffering son. "My boy," lie
says, "cut a fearful gash over his eye,
so I applied Bucklen's Arnica Salve,
which quickly healed it and saved his
eye." Good for burns and ulcors too.
