Feed Your Mules on Beer.
Editor Breeze—Between Doug
las and Pearson lives some of the
county’s best people, two of which
some time ago ordered two barrels
of bottled beer, for private use of
course. A few days later they
found that horse-feed was giving
out,, and they decided to go over
and borrow some from a neighbor,
and over they went. When the
neighbor was approached lie listen
ed silenjly and attentively to their
complaints for awhile, and then
went on to his work without giv
ing them any answer. After get
ting some distance away lie stop
ped and yelled hack to the boys:
“Give your mules a few bottles of
beer!” This may not he very in
teresting reading, but there’s a
moral in the incident that is full of
i force. F.
