A few years ago when a "ertaln
humorist wished to add to h's bank
roll by a humorous production, he
wrote the book "Through Missouri
On a Mule." The boojc WU sup
posed to be funny w:s a' pood
deal like "Arkansas Traveler."
Roth make people laugh and both
were rather better tha.i the average
sellers.
The book was sold in six or eight
different countries where th En
glish language is Bp ifcen by colo
nials or by original citizens of the
home land. It did a good deal to
make Missouri 'aniou? and also
made the State lauhd aL
But the highest jo.- of it all Is
that the Missourians liked the book.
They couldn't see anything particu
larly humor1 us about riding, a mule.
"It's Jest a natural way some
folks have of getting about from
one place to another," one Mfssou
rian from Llrlssa, Douglas County,
explained It. That particular man
thought the Joke was all on 'lie
other fellow who bought the bonk.
"'The man who wrote that niuit
have been a Yankee, for it sun- is
a Yankee trick," the Larissa man
declared.
The Larissa man has a crusin
who Is working on plans for the big
world's fair in Sun Francisco In
1313. The cousin was told to draw
some plan.? for th- Missouri exhibit
and was Instru-ied to put in
some 'mule stalls." He thought
there must be a mistake.
"Mules are just thr most obsti
nate creatures of the universe," sai'l
the architect. "No one woiibl want
to exhibit them."
The architect rapidly developed
rnule-llke tendencies v hen the man,
who had Instructed him to draw the
plans told him to go ahead with the
stalls. He became eo obstinate that
the boss had to take him into his
confidence
"Mules are a great asset of our
State." said the boss "We
proud of them and want to show
them off. Don't nu know that the
income from mules in our state is
greater th.in that from the Alaskan
gold fields" We have shipped, mules
tj Australia, South Afrb-a and
South America. The army buys its
muleF from us and wo want to nUt
the m In l he. hall of fm- so the
world can see how we Jorgcd to the
front.
On the mule the State intends
to make Its bid f"r fame
The men who are setting up the
exhibit for the St.'.te UaVB decided
to place. th- hm on the big '1st
of Important exhibits, too; There
will he exhibits from the mines and
factories and other farm exhibits.
When fhe question of what would
go into the exhibit .Mine, up before
the commissioners, some one sug
gested the mule and the hen. The
idea met with ton;? opposition.
Some of the commissioners thought
j a pea, ,.ck and a Vied of roses would
look better.
i "Anybody ran put up a pretty ex
hibit," said fcme of th commission
ers, ' but It isn't everyoody who has
j as many fine mules and hens as we
j have."
At the cloHe of the debate It was
