The Mexicans ha'l'e got a peculiar sayingjln ·co~ectlon with this characteristic of the Mexican mule. You ask a Mex· lean, for Instance, how far it Is by mule back to such and erlch a point. \ 'Two days' journey it you are not rushed, but three days if you are· In a himzy,' ihj! Mexican will reply. \His meaning Is that if you don't ask. more of your mule than yott should ask of him, the mule w!ll \be able to make the· trip ln two days. But if you attempt to drin the brute he'll soldier on you, and in eonsequeuce the jour• ney will take you three days.\-EX· cb:ange. A L~erary Failure.
