HARD LUCK FOR THE MULE Realistic St.ry Told by the Penny Press Pilgrim. “I never B®a a mule,” remarked th. Pilgrim to the Devil, as they sat looking out of the window, “that I am not leminded .f a pain :ul experience of my own *ome five years ago, I was in Little Rock, Ark., and having finished my engagement there, was anxious to get down to Texarkana in order to fill a date. The robber tariff and the war tax ©u liquor 4 had re duced my finances, and it was a choice of walk or ride in a box car. I s.leeted the box car method of locomotion. For purely person al reasons I se’ected a late hour at night for boarding my train. I get into a convenient car, got the door shut and was about to mako mye.lf comfortable sot an all night ride when I found that I was not alone. I had a mule for a compan ion—and the blamed mule was loos.! Then I was in a fix. That mule was getting knocked all around th. car by the motion of the train, and I knew he would get over my way in the dark and Kick the light out of my life soon er or later. It was awful.” The Pilgrim stopped to light his pipe and the devil took advantage • f the pause to ask: “Why didn't you get out?” The Pilgrim looked at the Devil for full five minul '*- steadily. Then h®, sighed. “Aly friend,” he said, “Stepping .ff a through freight train going at forty miles an hour, in th*, dark,is an amuse ment expressly prohibited in my life insurance policy. If I wai the india rubber man, now, I might perform littl. acrobatic feats like that. But being a man with do surplus bon.s in stock, I have to refrain.” “But the mule, th# mule,” inler rupted the Devil, did you manage him?” “In the simplest way re plied the Pilgrim. “I rode bins. Ye-s sir, I rode that mule in that box ear the whole division, and that S something like a ISO mile, run too ! It was painful, I admit,” added t m Pilgrim, “but you s°e I was due at Taxark^iia. Consequently I arriv.d—on mul.back. 1 was so sore that I couldn’t walk for eight dads, but I arrved. ’ “You must have, had a hard time sure,” said the Devil, sympatheti cally, “I” said the Pilgrim. “What about the mule?” —Americus JPen ny Press.

FRIDAY EVENING JANUARY. 5. 1894. BOW ML Is nine Years in the Colum bus, Ohio, Penn. ALSO FINED $1,200 AND COSTS A new trial lias been’refused Ike great Swindler. How bo took his punish ment. Jackson, T.nn,, Jan. 4. (Special.) Howard, the foreign claim swindle) and cleri< al deceiver, will do time for nine years and cne month in the Columbus, 0., pCsor, So said Judge Hammond tonight when he sentenc «d the defendant in accordance with the verdict of the jury. In addition to the above Howard is taxed with $1,200 iu fines and the coits of the two trials, which foot up in the nei. h borhood 0i,520,000. The greater portion of the day has been consumed by the defen dant and his associate counsel in arguing the motion for a new trial I'he defendant commesced speak iug this afterueon soon after the opening of court and continu'd until tonight at S o’clock. The attendance was Jarge aad considerable interest was mani fested. People were standing on chairs and other available furni ture. When the defendant resumed his speech the court addressed himself te Howard in the follew ing langua e: “I am constrained by all the considerations that influence judi cial judgement to state that I have uot the slightest douht as to the verdict of the jury. Taking all this evidence, I must say that I never saw such convincing evidence ar rayed before a jury. Were I on a jury that had this case, I would not hesitate one instant. The proof plainly shows that the defendant is guilty of carrying on a nefarious scheme, I will not jo into this vast record of evidence’ to justify this judgement, as I might wound the sensibilities of the witnesses. I don’t propose to hold the de fendant and his counsel te admis sions made in their argument, but they admit Ross, Moore and Log ar to be frauds. I can’t see any lifT.rcnce as to Howard’s busiue.s at J-ckscn, only in the methods o' details. Having said that, I c. ui’t say any more, and the motion for a new trial is overruled.”£ The district attorney moved that the sentence on the defendant be pronounced, and after the court asked Howard the formal question if he had any reason why sentence should not be pronounced. Judge Hammond gave him a term o? nine years and one month with a tine of $1,200 and and costa ©f the trial added, fixing the place of imprisonment in the Cclumbus, 0., prison. There was a hush ir the courtroom while the court spoke and every eye was turned on Howard, who sat in his chair unmoved. The court said inasmuch as the defendant was an at torney at the bar he would be strick en from the roll and the clerk was so ordered. Just before adjournment it was agreed that tomorrow morning at 9 o’clock the council will meet and set tle the question of bond. The attor ney general rose and a»ked that Howard be sent to jail to spend the night as only deputy marshals had been guarding him, and t-ie rt spon sibilitiy was teo great. The court declined, however, to put him in prison tenight, and said he would again grant him the use of his private chambers. Tomorrow he w<l have to go to jail and await the di.— posal of errors and the filling of the bill exceptions which will possibly take several week® - Then if he can give the bond r<- puired he will be released to appear before the supreme c?vrt of the Un - ted States. —Constitution.
