DUMB HERO ON CASUALTY LIST
Old Red Cross Army Mule the Only
Animal That Was Accorded the
Distinction.
Dumb nnimals fought, bled and died
for the United States, writes J. W.
Rixey Smith in the Home Sector, and
j only one lonely army mule, attached
j to the Twenty-seventh division for
duty, was honored with a place on the
j casualty list «
The ex-soldier’s magazine says:
“Many men of the Twenty-seventh di
vision will never forget the old Red
Cross mule who, so far as is known,
accounted for the only casualty accred
I ited to our animals in the war. Many
a time the old wornout beast faithful
ly plied his way right up to the front
lines with chewing gum and chocolate
and cigarettes. Once, in some manner,
he went too far, found himself in the
thick of the fighting, got himself prop
erly excited and—there are witnesses
: to attest It—kicked a Boehe into
oblivion. And the luck that had been
with him stuck, for he came safely
back to the American tines.
The faithful messenger dogs at
tached to liaison service to the Seven
ty-seventh division will always be re
membered kindly by their Yankee
friends. Will members of Battery B,
One Hundred Thirteenth field artillery,
ever forget Billy, the little pony pris
oner taken from the enemy, which,
though cleverly smuggled aboard ship,
they v. ere forced just before landing
to relinquish and see put en route for
France again? Certainly no one who
was ever at St. Pierre des Corps has
forgotten Miss Jenny Hohenzollern,
the fastidious pet monkey who, among
| other things, ate a box of C. G. pills
and chewed to pulp a whole fodder of
important papers. Nearly half of the
0,000 pigeons remaining in the A. E.
F. at the time of the armistice, when
put up at auction were bid in by their
khukied attendants, and in one way
or another got back to their native
i land.”
To Preserve Utah's First House.
A tiny log cabin, said to have been
the first ever bniit in Utah, has been
acquired by Ogden city authorities and
will be preserved as an historical
monu’,rent. The cabin, first discovered
by Capt. James Brown, who in 1847
came to Utah at the head of a baud of
pioneers, is said to have been very old
then. It was constructed by Miles
Goodyear, mountaineer and trapper,
who by a grant of the Spanish gov
ernment owned all land from the
Weber river to Hot Springs moun
tains, cm part of which property the
! city of Ogden Is located.
* The cabin, known as “Utah’s first
l hawse," was located on property owned
by Mrs. M. I'. Shaw, and she recently
made a gift of it to the city.
Reynard Lost Hi3 Cunning.
While hunting with three friends,
Thomas Covnalle of Winsted, Conn.,
who had no gun and had remained in
tig.1 auto after the others had pene
trated the hunting grounds, discovered
a fox sitting?» a lot not far away. Tie
left the auto, crept along and told the
hunters. The quartette finished the
last lap on their hands and knees to
avoid detection. Then Cornalie, rest
ing ills gun on a stone wall, shot the
for twice, but the animal neither fell
nor ran away. The hunters went over
tiie wall and found reynard had been
caught in a trap.

WHY JIMMY PRAYED SO LOUD
Dick and Jimmy were visiting their
grandmother. One night when they
were saying their prayer-3 Jimmy
voiced his petitions for Christmas
presents in a tone that could be heard
a mile.
“Why do you pray for your Christ
mas presents so loud?” interrupted
Dick. “The Lord ain’t deaf."
“No,” whispered Jimmy, “but
grand; a is.”

Noted American Authors Gather ld#£*
While on Pecftstrian Tours Over
the Country Roads.
Tlie other day in * little literary
gathering upstairs over a bookstore in
San Francisco, Bailey Millard writes In
Snn Francisco Bulletin, I heard one
| more or less famous California author
! say to another:
‘ I henr you have bought an antomo
[ bile. T suppose that’s the end of those
| celebrated walks of yours.”
“Not at all,” was the reply of the
i v. riter addressed. "It only extends
j them.”
“How’s that?”
“Well, I have had my machine more
than six months. I find that an auto
mobile is a fine thing to take you to
some place like the Marin hills, where
you can go and get a good walk.”
Writers as a rule are walkers. They
do not necessarily walk because they
write, nor do they write because they
walk; but almost any of them will
tell you that walking, even along a
dull street in town, is Inspirational. It
would seem as if a writer’s legs, mov
ing steadily and rhythmically, pump
out of his Inner consciousness Ideas
that eventually get upon the printed
page.
I.eun ns a grayhound and brown ns
tt berry, Julian Hawthorne was walk
ing along a country road near Poe’s
old home in Fordhnm. I happened to
he accompanying him, bnt was saying
very little, for the son of the famous
Nathaniel seemed to be in what our
good old bromides call a “brown
study.”
Of a sudden he left my side and
darted up a bypath through the
woods, springing up the hillside
like a deer. After a few minutes he
came tearing down again, apologizing
for his sudden freak by saying:
“I saw a half-formed Idea floating
about and thought I would chase it
down. It was a mythical idea and a
tough one. I have it now and I’m go
ing to put it into a story.”
Henry Lewis and David Graham
Phillips, two authors with whom I was
v eil acquainted during the latter yeaqs
of their lives, both took long walks
nearly every day and often I accom
panied them. While they walked they
talked and in the case of Phillips it
was wonderful talk. In New York
city we used to walk from the Players’
club In Gramercy park, not far from
Phillips' home, to Nineteenth street
and to Forty-second street and back
again, always along dingy old Fourth
avenue. Sometimes we would tramp
along ns far as Fifty-ninth street and
then over the Central park paths.
Phillips told me that hut for his
walks he never would have been able
to write his novels.

feed tinting the war we* a much mere
sertou* matter Chan In this country,
they have been giving much more at
tention to measures to prevent the
depredations of rats, and a concrete
corn crib Is coming Into general use
throughout great Britain, which will
keep the grain In good condition and
at the same time keep the rats out.
The Interior of the crib is built of
concrete blocks with hole* In them for
ventilation of the building. The floor
Is of solid concrete, and on the sides
where the blocks have .openings the
Inside of the structure is covered with
inesh. The trench In the center of the
floor is built so that the extension
feeder of the coni slieller can be
placed In It when shelling out the crib.
Short pieces of board are laid over
this trench, and are removed as fast
as the coni can be shelled. This
trench Is a labor-saving feature <;f
this corn crib. It has been found by
the modem farmer that concrete Is
the only effective way of fighting rats.
Balzac's Home Is Restored.
The home of the famous French
author, llanore de Balzac, in the Rue
Raynouard at Pussy has been reopened
as an artists’ center. The house had
been sadly neglected, hut has been re
stored to present the appearance it
had In Balzac’s time, with its vestibule
painted blue and the original ouk carv
ings and dark red tapestries decorating
the apartment where Balzac wrote his
masterpieces.
On the table stands the big china
coffee-pot from which the author was
wont to refresh himself, for Balzac
was a mighty drinker of coffee. Old
woodcuts and original printing proofs
adorn the walls. In the garden the
vine that Balzac tended still grows and
his beloved lilacs have been replanted
there.
In one room there te still the trup
door through which Balzac used to dis
appear when Importunate creditors
called.
Matters of Importance.
“Young woman, I have waited here
three-quarters of an hour to see Mr.
Wadson. How much longer will I
have to wall?"
“I can’t tell you, sir. He’s very
busy.”
“Won’t you mind finding out?”
“Indeed I would, sir. Mr. Wadqon
is chairman of the grounds committee
at the country club. He and the
other members of the committee are
discussing plans for improving the golf
links. I wouldn’t dare 'to interrupt
him now if a million dollars were at
