ViTjCZr "OOOOOO00CO0O JAPANESK AM) THE MULK "So the Japanene rice grow ers are not willing to tackle that interesting native instu tion, the American mule, with ont the aid of home folk," Haiti an olwervant man, "and I can see where they are right about the matter. The A merican mule in a long eared, quick heeled, supple j'intd invftery, and no man, no mat ter how wiee he may be, can do anything with him unlets he have Hpeoial training. As a matter of fact, the white man in America is sadly defi cient when it comes toa work ing knowledge of the mule. Up to tlie present writing the American negro in the only living person who can claim anything like mastery when it comes to the mule. Some how there is something in the nature of the black man and the mule which makes it easier for them to get along together. Just what it is I don't know. But even the black man will have his ups and downs now and thm with the mule, and I have seen some very interesting instan ces of this kind, one of the most amusing being that of an extremely hard skulled negro who never wanted a better weapon than his head' in any sort of couflict with man or beast ' One day he fell out with the mule. Ordinarily they got along well enough togeth er but in some way the mile on the day in question made the negro mad and the fighi began. Ju the first place tin negro broke his water j Ho over the in; iit's head. Thi. did not feaze the animal. Grabbing the mule by the earsand taking a good, fin; grip, the black man landed with vigor between the mule's ears, using his head as u - ml i weapon, ine Diow was ft knockout blow all right, but the trouble was it knocked the negro out also. Both mule and negro fell to the ground as if dead . In a short while both were up again and after that they were fairly good friends. The Japs are right. They will need special train ing on the mule proposition and no mistake, and the negro is about the beet man they can get to do the training." New Oilcans Times Demo crat.
