ago. ile was driving to Pine Ridge
for fuel, and bad a big, bony mule
named "Jack". , Link stopped over
night at Mursland and along towards
"ldnight Jack developed the stom
achache. There was no drug store
at Mursland so Link ran to the near
est saloon and purchased a quart of
good rye whiskey for him. It took a
lot of work to get Jack to assimilate
that quart but the next morning he
was feeling fit and fine. "That
mule," said Link, "got to be the
most expensive mule you ever saw.
For a while he had the stomachache
once every month and then every
week and it always took a quart of
good rye to cure it. Finally I sold
him to a fellow in Iowa who had a
saloon and who could afford to keep
him. That was a good many years
ago. If he still has Jack I don't
know what he will do. now that Iowa
Is going dry on January first. That
mule sure loved llcker."
