uu I THE EVERtASTING MULE. Absalom rode a "mule." Some of tho 'easiest, strongest, swiftest riding animals in the country still arc muleB; U and a fine white mule brings a price tqual to the finest horse, says the Christian Herald. When the Egyp- j tlan army imaded Syria in 1839, its leader. Rrahlm Pasha, roae a remars- h able mule, which covered almost un- j believable -distances in a single day. H Mules are phenomenal in their toughness, tough-ness, and were no doubt as stubborn and as unmanageable In Absalom's day as in ours, so that there was no holding tho animal back after AbBa- fl lorn became entangled in the oak undergrowth.
