Petersburg, Ind., Feb. 15.
Maud, aged 42, the famous mule

has been chloroformed by its
owner.

would win that he prepared Maud
for a long trip to Washington
where, after congratulating Mr.
Bryan on his success, Berridge
intended to present the animal to
him.
OWNER NOT DISCOURAGED.
At that time Maud was about
23 years old. Bryan was defeat
ed, but Berridge was so confident
of Bryan’s ultimate success that
he said he would keep the animal
alive until Bryan became presi
dent of the United States.
Again in 1908 he made all ar
rangements for the trip. Maud
was then 34 years old, but was
hale and hearty. Again her
owner was doomed to disc ppoint-
ment.
WILL ERECT STONE OVER GRAVES.
Not daunted, Berridge still had
faith in his idol, but after Bryan’s
resignation from the cabinet
Maud seemed to become des
pondent. Life no longer had
any interest for her. Her decline
was rapid. Everything possible
was done for her, but of no avail,
Her owner had a nice grave
dug and a number of his intimate
friends were invited to attend
the funeral. Berridge owns a
tombstone plant, and the follow'
ing marker will adorn Maud’s
grave: Here lies Maud. She gone
but not forgotten.

Cut Your Store Bill
Down One Half
Tens of thousands of farmers as well as
town and city folks cut down their store
bills one-half lust year and saved money
In spite of generally short crops and re
duced wages.
Absolutely millions of dollars were
saved and countless families lived better
than ever before in the face of the cotton
crisis and general business depression.
How were these burdensome store bills
cut down? By the real money-saving
power of good home gardens, rightly
planted and kept planted and tended
through the season,
