BLUE LIGHTNIN’.

“Speakin’ o’ mules puts me in mind 0’ little
Simon Kiloaf of Lost Crow Barren; not tb't
tb’ were anything mnlish ’bout Simon, but be
bad one of the dotrottedest, ornariest, pes-
kiest pieces 0’ mule flesh as ever tried to kick
the tip of a. lightnin’ rod often a two story
barn. Leastways them was his best p’ints
w’en little Simon got to be his owner. That
mule bad hen in the townshipaycai- an’ better
w’en Simon got title to him, an’ he hadn’t
only ban in the township, but he had run the
bull dum business of the township evensince
he hung out his shingle tbar. Nobody ever
know’d whar that mule first dropped from;
but late one night‘in'the'winter ’o ’40 Uncle
Pete Howy beerdia pootystiff rep at his cabin
door, an’. be got up an’ hollered out:

“ ‘Wbo’s thar?’ '

“Bangy-te-banggbangi agin the door were
all the answer be got. Uncle Pete couldn't
look' out nowhar, to see who were knockin'
'cause tb’ wa’n‘t nary winder in the cabin for
him to look out of. So he boilers out:

“ ‘Wall, if ye can’t spit it out who ye be, ye
kin stay out an‘ be darned to yel’

“With that Uncle Pete bunked in agin.
The stranger as were knockin’ then giv three
or four whacks th’t made Uncle Pete think
tb’t mebby th’ were an ’urthquake passing
th’t way, an’ the nex’ minute k’slam went the
door wide open. The moon were dead full

- that night, an’ as soon or the door fiew open

the cabin was lit up like a pine knot torch,
an’ in walked a mule not much higgern a
half grow’d fawn, but with ears th’t ’d ba’
matched Uncle Pete’s moc’sins as to size, an’
them moc’sins ’d bef to be sbripked consid’-
ableif ye ’spected to pull ’em over a No. 12

last. Uncle Pete and Aunt Sairey sprung.

bolt up in bed an' ‘bollered; Aunt Sairey a
yelliii’ spooks an’ murder, an’ Uncle Pete a
gittin rid 0' some script’ral p’ints that ’d ha’
skeert a Delaware river lumber-man often his
raft an’ made him swim fer 'Jersey.‘ The
mule didn’t pay no mare ’tention to the folks
th’n if they’d ha’ been a. secon’ han’ set 0'
double harness, but he jist flopped dovvn in
front 0‘ the fireplace, as much oz to observe
th’t ez fer him, b’gosb, he were gointer sleep.
an’ the rest 0’ the fam’1y could take t :ieir
cb’ice and holler the rest 0’ the night, if they
wanted. '

“Wall, bimeby Uncle Pete cooled down, as
he were more’n likely to do, 92 the moon
wa’n’t shootiu’ much heat through the open
door inter the cabin. Aunt Sairey quit bol-
lerin’ an’ went to takin’ it out in shi verin’.

“ ‘W’y don’t ye git up an' b’ist the pesky
thing out? says she, givin’ Uncle Pete a dig
in the ribs.

“So the 01’ man reckoned, b’goah, th’t he
wu’n’t goiniter hev no mule th't he wa’n’t
’quainted with a roostin’ on his h'urtbstun, an’
be gits up to h’i'st the cheeky little cuss outen
the cabin. Aunt Snirey had put the clothes
to soak that night, nex’ day bein’ wasbday,
an’ they was in a tub tb’t stud on a bench
'longsids the fireplace, an’ not fur from the
sleepin’ mule’s heels. Uncle Pete jumps outen
had an’ starts for the mule, bollerin’ to him to
git up an’ dig out or he’d git his consumed
neck twisted. Uncle Pete said arterw’ds that
the mule laid tbar e2 calm an’ peaceful en a
new horned babe w’at hadn‘t shook han’s with
the colic yit, but the fus’ thing he know’d the
mule’s behind parts riz up amazin’ quick, an‘
the next second that tub o’ clothes '
outen the door an’ went a slidin’ up that
streak o’ moonlight on if some one in the moon
were ymikin’ it up tbar with a steam derrick.
For a lcctlo spell the air outside were full 0’
bick’ry shirts au’ overhauls an’ a few caliker
frocks, an’ their the tub kim down in a snow
bank on t’otber side the road. An’ thar laid
the mole on the b’arth, quite an’ innercent
like, un’ ez Oiiconsariied 92 if the weather
wa’n’t oz cold 02 GIeenlan’, w’icb Uncle Pete
wa‘n’t ’dzac‘l y bogged out fer to inj’y.

“Seeiu’ the week’s wash a sailin’ ’round the
clearin’ oz pei-misc'us ez ortum leaves sot
Aunt Snii'ey to squealin’ agin, uII’ th’ wa’n’t
nothiii’ fer Uiiclc Pete to do but to him] on
his moc’siris uii’ things an' edge outer) the
cabin nii’ gctbcr up the wash. Then he edged
back inter the cabin an’ set the tub down on
t’otber side, 50’s to not ’sturb the slumbers o'
the inulo. Then him an’ Aunt Sairey con-
cluded tb’t though the mule _wa’n’t ’xzac’iy a
feller critter, he were a stranger in them
parts, un’ it’d be kinder- onbumauiike to turn.
him out on sich a~tcr’ble cold night, with no
place to go to, an’ so they thort they‘d M
him stay. Uncle Pete pushed the door shot
with the mop handle, an’ climbln’ inter bed
over the headboard, kivered hisself up, an'
him an’ Aunt Sairey went tosleep, wonderin’
wutber the mule'd take it interhis head to
let ’em git up an’ git breakfast in the mom-
in’, or wuther he wouldn't.

“W’en they woke up ’arly the next mornin’
the mule stud lookin’ inter the fireplace, with
his head down an’ his ears to droopin’, jlstasif
th’ wa’n‘t no more life in him, b'gosh, th‘n th’
were in a wet disbrag. Aunt Sairey an’ Uncle
Pete w’ispered together a spell, an’ then tb’ol’
man crawled out over the headboard an’ tip-
toed it over to the fur send 0’ the cabin, an’
then ed ed his way ’lon the wall to’ards the
door. f the mule hea him he never let On.
W’en Uncle Pete got to‘tbejdoor he grabbed
the latch an’ flung the door wide open. Then
he made two jumps un’ landed in bed. Pooty
soon the mule turned his head an’ looked
eaten the door. Then he shook hisself a
leetle, nn’ then walked kinder car’lem to’ards
it. Stoppin‘ on the sill, half in an’ half out,
he looked up an’ down the road, ez if he were
takin’ in the country an’ tbinkin’ w’atbe’d do
with it. All this time Uncle Pete an’ Aunt
Sairey was peepin’ out from under the bed-
clotbes, ’frnid to breathe for fear they’d rile
tber visitor, an wonderin’ wbutber he'd cun-
clude to take the farm aii’ let them hev the
cabin or turn them‘out on the farm an’ take
the cabin bisself. Bimeby the mule stepped
out o’ the cabin, give a heehaw tb’t ’d ba’
broke cv’ry winder in the buildin’ if th’d ha’
hen any in it, an’ then walked ’round the cor-

ner. Uncle Pete bounced out o' bed an’
slammed the door shet quicker'n scat, .an'
peekin’ out through a chink twixt the legs in
the cabin be see the mule drivin’ the ol’ cow
away from her cornstalks (111’ then‘ go to
cbawin’ of ’em biself. ' _ ,

“Wall, sir, that ornary little cuss b'longed
to Uncle Pete 'an' Aunt Suireyfrom that time
on, spite o' tbeirselfs; or, rutber, they b‘longe'd
to him. They spread it all over the country
tb’t some un’s male was astray, an’ tb't all
the longin’ owner had to do were to come to
Howy clearin’ an’ git his property, or th’d be
no charges an’ no questions ust. 0n the con-
trary, if it’d' be any object to, him, th‘ mowt
be a leetle sumpin’ contribited if he’d take the
mule buck to'bis own bailiwick. But nobody
didn’t seem t’vo lost no mule in thempal'tl, au'
so the doiiiincerin’ little hee-hawer staldon the
Howy farm. Icastwaya. tbar he made his
headquarters, but, _Vb'gosb, be run the bull
township. He only lived for two things, an’
them was to kick an’ jump. He had a grudge
agln ev’ryhody. _ W’en he wanted to eat he‘d
jump inter the first turnip lot or buckwheat
field or ’tatu' patch th’t kim handy to bim,'or
kick in unybo‘dy'a barn door to git inside for
fodder. Blmeby he got it inter his head th’t
rdlcation won’t the proper thing, uii’ kidned
the school house door often its .lriiigns, nn’
druv the achoolma’am an’ all the scholarsout
ev’ry time they’d open school, an’ so they-bad
to close up the bull business. Thisrwas about
ayeararterthe mule had took- the title to
Uncle Pete, Aunt Sairey an’ the. form, an‘
Uncle Pete an' the old woman had act’nlly
packed up allitbeir things on the sly, b'80311-
an’ was waitin’ for some dark night w’en the
main were away from bum, so's they could
give him the slip an’ dig for Jersey.

“Arter the mule had put his veto on edica-
tion in the township, the populetion '09 th’t
sumpiu’bad to he did, so they held ascent
meetin’ one night. un’ passed a resolution th’t
three or four of the best shots in the township
should lay fer the mole an’ try to kill him.
The next day arter this resolution were took,
little Simon Kiloaf kim totbe cleariu’. Simon
werescant five foot in his moc’sins, an' were, ' .

bent or fat as an ax handle. The shudder-of
a fence post and Simon's shudder ye’d ha’
tookfer twins. But he. . bad p’ints» Simon
b’longed to the clearin’, but had gone west
three or four year store, ’apectin' to. make his
fortun’,_but, not pickin’ one up, he done the
nex‘ best thing an' larnt tube a horse doctor.
He got back to the clea’rin' fist en the consor-
racy ag’in the mule were batched. 311’ the 1“”
thing Simon see on he draw‘d nigh *0 “9 °1'
stampin’ groun' were little Blue Usbmm’“
that were the name the mule were know".! by
—a kickin’ in the back door at Si Morgan’s,

' w’ile Si an’ his woman was comin’ eaten the

winder an' makln’ fer the cellar. Simon
nlled u all a standin’.

p “ ‘By gum? says he. ‘l'll‘har’s the makin’ of

abull goodmule,’ says e.

“STIUOB jumped offen his buckboard au’
walked over to wbar Blue Lightnin’ were
scatterin’ hemlock splintersouten Si Morgan’s
door. 'I dou’t’spose the mule had ever see
anything jist like Simon afore,an’_w’en he,
set his eyes on him, b’gosb, be jist quit kickin’
nu’ looked skeert. Simon wa’n’t much
bigber’n tbe'mule. au' not each a darn sight
thicker through th’n one '0‘ Blue Lightnin’s
l ‘ .
WWW“, boyl' says Simon, an' taldir
bolt 0’ one 0’ the mule’s big ears, tol' him to
comeon. The mule didn’t seem to think he’d

 

go fust along, but bin'ieby he got Simon sized
up, an’ makin’ up his mind that be had found

sumpin’ that'd pen out a heap 0' new fun fer,

him, he went along, laughin' to bissolf like all

, ’cordin’ to Si Morgan, who was
takin’ in the p’formuuce by peekin’ eaten the
cellar.

“Simon told the committee tb’t was to gun
for Blue Lightnin' th’t he'd take the mule
ofl'en the township’s ban’s, but ev’rybody said
tb’t the fus’ thing they know’d they’d find
Simon dead, an’ then the male 'd be back
outer 'ein wus’n ever. Simon said no; all the
mule wanted were to be broke, an' th‘t be in-
tended to break the mule if he had to climb a
tree with him an’ drop him on a rock. The
fast week th’t Simon an' the mule were
scrapin‘ an acquaintance with one another
the mule kicked seven sets 0' harness oflen
hisself, knocked four wagons into splinters
au’ broke Simon's arm. The mule liked the
new fun better’n anything he’d struck sauce
he took charge 0’ the township, an’ be kinder
moped an' pined w'ile Simon‘s arm were get-
tin’ in shape to keep the ball a rollin’.

“One day, artei' Simon’s arm got all right
agin, a tailor kim through the clem'in’ buyin’
up sheep. He had one o‘ the. high wagons
with a cage on it for carryin' sheep in. It
were good an’ heavy, an' bad a slopin’ dash.
Simon got his eye on this sheep wagon.

“ ‘Here, b’g ,’ says he. ‘is the very thing
to exercise that mule with.’

“Tb’ were it hill two miled long in the road
back thar, an’ th' wa'n't a break in it the bull
distance till it struck the clearin'. It were a
iteep on, too, an‘ arter the road went a bun-
dred yards or so through the clearin' at the
bottom 0’ the bill it struck inter another long
hill and then follered a level for a piece, w’en
it kim to another long hill, the hull makin’ a
good five miled o’ stiff grade. ,

“Wall,6imon hired the sheep man to drive
his wagon up to the top 0’ the two miled hill

back 0' theclearin'. take his ho;- outen the-

sbafts. and then ien’ the wagon to him. He
put a harness on‘Blue‘Lightuin’, who, snifiln’
a barn full 0’ fun ahead, follered little Simon
es meek es a. lamb an’ or willin’ en a dog.
W’eu they reached the top 9' the hill an’ the
mule see the wagon, his eyes ‘act’aily snapped,
It were plain enough to see th’t he thort he
were in for the hem time o’ the season. Simon
bitched the mule to the wagon, cliin up to the
seat, grabbed the lines, give the mule a whack
with the. whip, an' away they went like a
quarter racer on the bumstretch. The mule
started on a dead jump. They got a hundred

or so down the hill, and then Blue.

Lightnin’ thort it were time to open the
picnic, an' be slung his heels Wars! the sky.
They struck the dashboard like a thunder

clap, an’ they not only struck it, but they.

went clean through it au’lapped over the

side nex’ to Simon six inches or morhf,

Simon dropped the lines ez
they was red hot, an' grabbed the
molds hind legs jist ’bove the boots. On
went the mule on his two fore feet. He had
to go wutber he wanted to or not, for the
heavy sheep wagon kep’ pushin' of him, an’
he were goin’ so fast he couldn’t fall. Licky
to split down the bill they tore, Simon a yoliin’
like a wild Injun, au’ the wagon a bangin' an’
swingin’ along over the stuns au’tbank ye
mains, an’ makin’ more noise, b’goah, tb’n a
thunder storm. They struck the level at the
clear-hr like a burrycaue, an' thar the mule
tried to stop an’ rest, but 'twa'n’t no use.
They tore across that level like a; flash, Simon
bangin’ outer the mule’s heels like grim
death, an’ Blue Lightnin's fore legs a playin’
so fast we couldn't see 'em. Whizzy to flash
down the next bill they went a bugln', an’
on down all the rest 0‘ the bills for five miled;

an’ w’en they got to the bottom 0' the last'

bill they was goin’ so fast tb’t ’fore they could
stop they went clean to the top 0' the big
Washout bill tb’t rakes almost from the foot
of the five miled hill, an’ is mOre'n half a
miled long an’ steep en a roof. 0n the top 0'
big Washout they fetched to. Simon let go
0‘ Blue Lightnin’s heels, an’ be pulled them
outen the holes in the dashboard an’aot the

' feet on the ground. Then he turned ’round

an' give one and an’ sorrowiu’ look at Simon
an’ kseled over. When Simon fetched him
to, Blue Lightnin' were a changed mule. He
see, b’gosb, th’t he’d met somebody with more
p’ints tb'n be had. an’ be know'd th’t the hey-
day 0' life fer him were past an’ gone. So be
got up an’ followed Simon back to the clear-
in‘, an’ went to plowin’ can as if he hadn't
never did nothin’ else from the day he were
born, an’ the township wunst more held the
title to itself, an’ Uncle Pete and Aunt Sairey
got to feelin’ ag’in th’t they wa’n’t trespamin’
on their own farm w’en they went out to dig
a 'tater.”—Ed Mott in New York Sun.

, The Manager of The Sun.

“After Mr. England, the energetic publisher
of The New York Sun, died, the concern
looked around for some man who could fill
bisplace. AMr. Lafiin, whowss inthe art
department of one of the successful magn-
aines,was suggested. Such a man, whobad
to overlook drawing, engravings, engravers’
presses, etc, was the sort of person an estab-
lishment like The Sun required. His eyes
were failing under the close application of an
eugraver’s bureau. It seems that he comes
from about Baltimore. He looked favorably
upon the idea of going on a morning news-
paper, where he could be more in the open
air, dealing with men, and using his mind.
ratherthan his eyes. The magnaine, and I
think it was The Century, offered him an ex-
tra 81,000 a yeartoremain, which would have
made his salary, I understand, $7,000, but be
concluded to go over to The Sun.

“I understand that it is his survey of the
saturation which has led to the publication of
an evening Sun. The same authority told me
that The Sun, while not exploiting itself as
formerly, is making, as ho expremed it, loads
of money. It was only about nventoeu years
ago that Mr. Dana was making subscriptions
among his friends and those he had benefited,
to enable him to start a paper. For some.
time it seemed to go slow and Mr. England
told me that they made it move, not by our—
tailing expenses, as the timid publications do,
but by going into the columns of their adver-
saries and advertising up to the yery gam-
bling hazard. ”—“Gath” in Boston Globe.

of which were manifestations of delusions of

was that of sympathy for (his companion,
who was so unfortunate as to be foolish, and
unable to act-reasonably. . ‘

But with all their fan, the vigilant watch

- was kept up all the time. One of'tbem could

not‘make a move' that the other did not see.
They kept the motive of their close watch se-
cret, but in time it seemed as if both got an
idea that each was the other's; keeper. This
was ahown whenthe morbideimpuiae that im-

and then they wouldsit closely together.

As the period of companionship became
longer there was an improvement noticed in
flash- condition by the attending physician.
They ceased to fight against taking food, and
had lucid intervals more frequently. They
took less interest in bucking and rolling the
ball, and days would pa- without either of
them showing any insane antics. A feeling
of interest sprang up for each other outside
of the performance of duty, and they became
friendly and talkative. Being closely watched
by the attandanb, it was seen, after several
months,.that the depramion that precedes an
swempt totakelife intheinmne huddisap-
peered, and they were taken from, their
padded room into one more cheerful, gaunny
and light. OtherI lunatiés were with? them,
but they stuck together. and watched the
strange action of their follows with apparent
nprlae. They were given privileges about

the matter with the people who were there
with them, but had no knowledge of what
their ditiou..fcrme'rly had been. There
could not be any doubt about the complete
restoration. to momend last week they
