It was a decrepit old mule that walked like a mechanical doll, and the driver was a young man, without a hat and having a handkerchief tied over his right eye. He was hailed as he passed the Republican office and readily submitted to an interview. He said his home was in Hammond and that he was a junk dealer. He said that he built a fire along the road this noon to get his dinner, and as he went to break a stick in two with his ax, one of the ends flew up and struck him in toe eye. He was stunned for a moment but finally recovered sufficiently to tie ' his handkerchief over his eye. Then he turned to pick up his hat only to find z that it had fallen into the fire and bsn burned. He wks a. bit sensitive about the mule and when we suggested that his miil’e was about all in, he repjtied, “No, he’s a d good mule, only little stiff.” .He then drove on his way, the mule doing the mechanical twist and he looked as if every step would be his last .
