disease by keeping in healthy ao-
tion the liver, stomach and bowels.
There’s a pleasant and a sure way
of doing it. It’s with Dr. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets. They’re the best
Liver Pill ever made, and a prompt
and effective remedy for Siok
Headache, Bilions Headache, Con
stipation, Indigestion, Bilious At
tacks, and all derangements of the
stomach, liver and bowels. They
cleanse and renovate the system,
quietly bat thoroughly. They reg-
nlate the system, too—they don’t
upset it, like the old-fashioned pills.
Tnese are purely vegetable and per
fectly harmless. One “Pellet” a
-dose. They’re the easiest to take,
.and the mildest in operation—the
.smallest in size, but the most effl-
-dent in their work.
: They’re the cheapest pill you can
buy, because they’re guaranteed to
give satisfaction, or your money is
returned.
Ton only pay for the good you
iget
Can you ask more ?
* That’s the peculiar plan all Dr.
Pierce’* medicines are sold on. ,
This is the wajf
with the Ball corset: if you
want ease and shapeliness,
you buy it—but you don’t
keep it unless you like it.
After two or three weeks'
wear, you can return it and
have your money.
Comfort isn't all of It
though. Soft Eyelets, and
“bones" that can’t break or
kink—Ball’s corsets have
both of these.

THE LITTLE HAT MULE.
DISAPPEARING FROM THE STREET
RAIL AfAY SERVICE.
Whmr« Ifn Comes from nM Whence Ha

'Work nod Years of Service,
How often, one hears the remark,
“Just look at those males drawing that
car; they look like rate." They have
thns become known very generally an
little rat males, and the description is a
good one certainly. Many ot them don't
look much larger than a good sized billy
goat, being so small that they are hidden
from the people in the car by the dash
board iu front, ft certainly does look
crnel to make them pnll a cur loaded
down with people, a load that wonld
strain powerful horses on an up grade.
It is like a great many other things,
however.
It is crnel only in appearance. The
little mnle is equal to this and mnch
more. If the car wonld hold more peo
ple he and bis mate wonld pnll it any
place, and on a level wonld take it skip
ping along so fast that yon would almost
Begin to think no other motive power
was required to realize rapid transit. He
has endurance, speed and strength, and
thrives where an animal more hardy and
stronger in appearance wonld soon die.
In rapid motion he goes by jumps and
jerks, bnt he accomplishes the desired
result, and is one of the most servicea
ble animals to be had in the street rail
way business.
He is, however, rapidly disappearing,
giving way to mechanical motors. As
the old darky said when he saw the elec
tric cars, "The Yankees is great peo
ple; they wa'nt satisfied ter free de
nigga, and now they've done gone and
freed de males.” That is about the case.
In St. Louis, for instance, tho little rat
mules—and, for that matter, the larger
mnle and the horse—are few in number,
not one in thirty for those employed as
recently ns tl|ree years ago. With onr
increase in population; new industries,
etc., this is a somewhat remarkable
statement, but it is correct.
The little rat mnle is a peculiar ani
mal. Dorn and raised in the southwest,
Texas and Mexico, bo. is now going to
the south and southeast for service on
the plantations. In the very recent past,
when all the street cars were drawn by
horses and mules, the demand for them
was very great for that purpose, bnt as
things generally equalize themselves, so
has the demand for horses and mules.
The street railway companies which
.have changed to cable or electric motor
power have generally disposed of their
live stock to very fair advantage, though
tliera are still on hand some of the little
rat mnles that are nnused.
This little animal is one of some valne,
though he does not look it. Twenty dol
lars would lie a very fair valuation, bnt
in fixing that estimate yon wonld be
away off the mark. Unbroken he com
mands considerable more than that.
The cheapest lot tluit ever came to St.
Louis, probably, was one of 200, the
price paid for them being a few cents
less than twenty-six dollars per head,
bnt they were nnbroken. He is a stub
born little brute, and there is considera
ble labor in breaking him so he can l>e
put ahead of a bobtail and trusted to
the average driver. Thus broken be
has a value of sixty to seventy-five dol
lars.
One would naturally suppose thnt his
raiser would break him, and get bis en
hanced price, bnt, os a rnle, he has come
to the St. Louis railroads ns wild as
could be, and also us stubborn, bnt the
employees of the companies have had a
great deal of fan lu breaking them in
and reducing them to tractability. They
have also had some exciting experiences,
too, as the little fellow bss heels quite os
serviceable as his larger relative, and he
knows how to nse them too. Yon have
got to look out for them, and you have
got to pnt some muscle into use when
you think you have an easy task to hold
them Uritli the lines,. This is not stall
easy sometimes, as he has strength and
frequently a very hard month—bard
enough to pnll a bobtail car by it with
the traces slackened.
It has been said that it seems cruel to
run there little fellows to • street car
loaded, down with passengers. To the
contrary, there are few animals which
have an easier life. The pulling of the
car is nothing to them. They can langb
at that and grow fat. Twenty-five to
thirty miles a day for them is nothing at
all. and that is about what they cov
er, with rests between. trips. Through
with their day’s work, they are turned
into a big yard, where they nm and roll
ns they please. .They never die, or at
least the employees of the street rail
ways never hear of their dying. When
jthey approach that period of life they
are aold or sent off to the form, where
they may still be of some use.
, They are aged before that time comes,
however. There are, for instance, little
rat mnles as much os 20 or 25 years old
still in service here, and some which
have been in the service twelve and
fifteen years. And still they are, to all
appearances, good for several years yet.
They are as strong and active as ever,
apparently, and wtU likely a year from
bow start in fora second life on a south
ern plantation. This is a long time for
‘ sir animal to tramp over granite and
' Other ldnds ot paving, through mud and
In all kinds of weather, bnt the limit
has seemingly never been reached with
this hanly little fellow. He might be
subjected to twice at mnch, poasibly, and
still not fall under it.
- In addition to performing service
iii equal to. that of the horse or the large
* mnle, the little rnt mula is one of the
easiest animals known in the care re
quired. It-might, in fact.be said that
he really does not require any care. He
