Soon a crowd gathered and ventured all manner of advice to the driver, relates the New York Times. Louis an electrician, of 162 Amsterdam avenue, suggested that twisting the mule’s ears would force it to rise, and put his idea into practice, but Ineffectually, while the crowd shouted “Whisper in its ear.” Scheff next tried pulling the mule’s tail. Mrs. Anna Schott of 304 Omsterdam avenue, a passenger on a Broadway surface car, who is a member of the Humane society, construed the eloctrieiaa’& effGFts aa eruelty and had Scheff arrested. Detective Sharp of the West Sixtyeighth Street station, who comes from the south and knows mules, took one look at the fallen mule and said: “You’ll never get that mule up—lf* lying on its left side.” “What’s that got to do with it?” demanded the driver. “Everything,” replied Sharp. Rojjbs were tied to the mule’s hoofs, and It was- turned over on its right side. Sharp gently kicked the animal in the side and it scrambled to its feet.
