MULE'S BRAY FOOLS MARINES
Wloo Old Animal at Puget Sound Navy
Yard Imitates Reveille When
He Is Hungry.
nionicrlon. 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.
