Wrtnu. An hrmy mule which rpcontly Joined tho navy hna boon cntislnc tho members of tho Ma rino corps hero considerable bother of late nnd Is now tied nt n romoto corner of tho ynrd, where ho la obliged to be have himself. The government recently purchased two mules and u horso to bo taken to Guam on tho fulled States ship Sup ply, which 1b now at this yard under F.olng repairs. Tho animals wero de livered here a few days ago and have been allowed to grazo at pleasure about tho navy yard. One of tho mules has been In tho army for n number of yenra and ltown tho buKlo calls almost as well as soino of the gray headed sorRoantfl. Tho mule In question has a sense of humor In his makeup and u clcvor knack for imitation. A few mornings ngo the marines at tho barracks heard rovclllo blown on the buglo which Is official iiotincntlon to get up and go to breakfast. They piled out of bed and dressed, but on looking nt their watches found that they wero up two hours ahead of time. On investigating thoy found that tho mulo had wandered In back of the inarlno barracks during tho night In search of fresh fodder, and, Hndlng no grass there, ho brayed a clover Imita tion of reveille, which to him mennt a good feed of hay and bran at the yard stables. It is an old trick tho animal had picked up in tho army. Tho buglers at the ninrino barracks, however, took of fence at this Incident and aro now practicing dally putting new and un speakable trills In their music, which will bo hard to counterfeit. 'Tho mulo is now kept at a remote corner of tho yard, where ho will not bo ablo to lntcrlcro with yard regula tlons. PLAN LONG TRIP WITH DOGS Proved to Be a Drug on New York Market. Famous River Liquid Poured Into Gutters Picturesque Project of Col. Nadaud of Kentucky Is Recalled. Wow York. Threo thousand gallons of water from tho River Jordan .wns emptied tho other day Into tho gut ter along North Jlooro street out of ten enormous casks covered with Turkish seals, while a crowd of small boys watched It flow In a turbid stream into tho Grccnwhlch street sewer. No body seemed to hanker much for tho water, which looked n little muddy and had a slight color. Thero "Vero no ceremonies while part of tho sacred river was (lowing through tho gutter down into tho sewer, but later in thq day colonel Col. Cliff Nadaud of Kentucky, sir dropped Into tho Msyo & Campbell warehouse, at 387 Greenwich street, and asked when tho rest of that Jor dan water would bo thrown out. Willlnm II. Taylor, secretary of tho company, said ho didn't know, but that tho 1G casks that were loft wero tak ing up a lot of room nnd that they'd have to be gottlng them out every day or two until It wns all gono. And as for those bottles mndo In tho shape of a cross that tho colonel hnd had manufactured to bo emptied into the baptismal fonts of this country nnd Europe, ho really didn't know what to do with them, and they wero taking a lot of room, too. The International River Jordan Company (which was tho colonel, largely) Is busted, so tho colonel ad mltted. That was ono reason why tho water was thrown out. Tho company was formed in 1905 by the colonel, j who then was on Gov. Heckham's staff, to Import tho water and sell it for baptisms. The colonel, who doesn't look moro thnn 35 and once ran for congress' In Kentucky, had reached tho Jordan In tho course of tnnny wnnderlngs and thoro conceived tho scheme to cask tho sacred stream and bottle it here. Everybody told tho colonol when ho got back with his Idea and broached It to tho peoplo of Covington that it was tho greatest commercial scheme of tho age "there's millions in it; there's millions in It" only tho wnter must bo properly attested. Now It wns easy enough to take a bottlo or barrel down to tho Jordo.n and fill It, as tho colonel admitted, but it wasn't a bit ensy to send barrels of it way without first gottlng the con sent of tho recently-deposed Abdul llamld nnd llkewiso propor proofs for selling purposes thnt you had really gono to the Jordan and not to tho kitchen tap. Hut tho colonol wnsn't daunted. Ho got letters from Secretary Root and others hero nnd went to Constanti nople. Even Ambassador Lolshmnn thought It n great schemo and sccurod an audience for tho colonol with tho minister of tho Interior at tho sub llmo porto. Tho sublime porto gave him a letter to tho governor of Jem salcm. Then from ono official to nn other went tho colonol until he reached tho Jordan with a carnvan, only to find ho couldn't buy any cnBks there nor any wagons sultablo to tuko tho water over tho mountains of Judca to Jerusalem. Undoubtedly the Inhabitants of Jericho still remember tho colonel. Attired in his uniform as n. Kentucky colonel, ho had bin picture taken fill ing casks nt every stage of the Jour ney to show tho peoplo thnt were go ing to buy tho water for their babies It was tho real thing. Ab fast as tho water was taken out of tho Jordan it was uouou in big caldrons, tho ensks were cleansed with a disinfectant, nnd then tho boiled water poured Into them In tho presenco of a groat crowd in tho middle of which stood tho colonel In his uniform, whllo nbovo him waved the Turkish and American Hags. Each of tho CO casks was solemnly sealed then by tho head of tho monas tery of St John, near tho Jordan, tho American consul nnd All Rlzu, tho Turkish governor of Jericho. To transport tho enormous casks over tho mountains to Jerusalem spe cial wagons had to bo mndo. In all the caravan comprised 19 horses, six wagons nnd sovon men. yhorover tho casks had to be trans shipped tho colonel wns careful to got a certificate from tho man who did the work. From Jerusalem tho casks were taken to Jnffa and thenco out in small boats to a steamer, whllo tho colonel took moro pictures of tho crowds and himself ns thoy watched this diKcmbarkntlon. Finally, on Christmas ove. In 190G , tho casks reached Now York to bo taken to tho warehouse, whence tho water has flowed. Grand Forks (N. D.)

Calling a taxlcab off tho cab rank In tho Strnnd, Mr. Klein ordered the much astonished chauffour to head for Edinburgh.
