A, N, White is named us executor Good Points of a Mule. Rightly used, kindly treated, giv­ en the same.good care as a horse, the mule has always shown himself kind, good tempered, willing, docile and intelligent. Moreover, while he has none of the horse’s graceful sympathetic ways of showing af-. fection and responding to appreci-' ation, the mule is capable of gen­ uine devotion to a kind master. Both the horse and the ass have af­ fectionate dispositions, and the only reason themule does not evince such is because nothing calls it out. Jack is not demonstrative,-but he does-respond visibly to-kind treat­ ment. He makes, moreover, an easy paced, careful, kindly riding animal when well treated. Taken altogeth­ er, he- is' a useful, intelligent, much enduring,- little appreciated brute, whose melancholy position is that of a dog with a had name—his good qualities rarely mentioned, while his had ones ,are credited at their full value. ■ • Both: Were Surprised. . “I have a little surprise for you, Amy,” said the- enraptured young1 man half ah hour after the wedding ECUS' me for a moment.'” in some embarrassment. “ Excuse CEDARV I LLE OPERA HOUSE Thursday Eve’g, January 22, Dfive B.
