q peak from the knowledge of the fact
that after the spacious court house was
filled almost to suffocation, eand even in
the ante room was go crowded that hardl
a'peep at the actors could be obtained
in their artistic rendition of "deestrict

with man more unfortunates was obliged
to be guided by the plaudis of those with

and to those who we're in position to

PRIVATE BRADLAUGH.

How He Rebuked an Officer For His
UnEentlemanly Conduct.
One of MessIs. Cassell's publications
when in the British army, was orderly
room clerk, and newly arrived officer
once entered the room where he was sit
ting at work and addressed to him
some discourteous order Private Brad
laugh took 10 notice. The order was re-
pcated with all oath. Still no move
ment. Then it came again, with some
foul words added. The young soldier
rose, drew himself to his full height,
and, walking up to the officer, bade
him leave the room or he would throw
him out. He went accordingly, but in a
few moments the grounding of nuskets
was heard outside, the door opened, aid
the colonel walked in, accompanied Ly
the officer.
1t was clear that the private soldier
had committed an act for which he
might be court martialed, and as he
said once, II felt myself in a tight
place." The officer made his accusation,
and Private Bradlaugh was hidden to
explain. Ee asked that the. officer
should state the exact words in which
he had addressed him, and the other,
who had, after all, touch Of honor in
him, gave the offensive sentence word
for word. Then Private Bradlaugh said.
addressing the colonel, that the officers
memory must surely be at fault in the
whole matter, as he could not have used
language SO unbecoming to all officer
and gentleman. The colonel turned to
the officer with the dry remark: 81
think Private Bradlaugh is right. There
must be some mistake, and he left the
room.

Too Ardent,

An Iowa postmaster who is free sill
YER man. warmly advoc ated the election
of Mr.. Bryan. In the course of his bus
lnesa he discovered that some one was
sending through his Office large quantl-
ties of literture on the nefarious sub jt ct
of sound money. This was directed to
farmers, and the postmas.e discovered
to his horror that we're reading the docu
ments, and that the attendance at the free
silver meetingf grew less and less. The
postmaster made up his mind that he
would save the farmers and the country
from going to the demition bowwows and
SO promptly coniscated all the matter OF
this sort which afterward came to the
Office and burned it. In spite of his
heroic efforts Iowa went overwhelmingly
against him, aud now heartless admin
istration is actually going TO prosecute
him.--Chicago Chronicle.

HORSE MEAT DEFENDED.
An Authority Claims Prejudice Prohibits
Its General Use.


Everybody is aware that the horse is
the cleanest Of all domestic animals It
will not eat anything but good, healthy
food, nor drink any but pure water. A
horse would rather starve than swill
the rotten stuff often given to pigs and
cattle. 1t is nothing but prejudice that
prevents US from eating horsedesh.
A similar prejudice retarded the in
PRODUCTION of the potato 100 years ago.
Today VIC could not get along without
it. Yet the prejudice against potatoes
can be explained. The people had been
told that this American root caused
fever and rendered the ground unfit for
all other crops. The exception against
horscfiesh is not even founded upon any
objection to its properties. 1t is solely
due to the influence cf the church. The
clergy did everything possible to pre-
vent the newly converted Saxons from
returning to their heathcnish' practices
and prohibited the use Of horsefesh to
stop the sacrifices to Odin and Thor A
long time passed before these sacrifices
were altogether discontinued.
The nations of Europe have suffered
enormous loss by this prohibition of
horsefesh. Especially from the humani.
tartan point of view the results are most
deplorable. Millions Of people are forced
to live OH potatoes and similar food
wanting in nutritive qualities, while
millions Of pounds Of the very best meat
are wasted Horsehesh is the most
nourishing of all meats, and it's taste is
hardly to be distinguished from that of
beef The flesh of horse fed on oats
has smell similar to goosehesh. The
fat is preferable to lard. Above all, it
should be remembered that no flesh is
so healthy as that Of the horse. Trichi-
nosis and similar diseases are unknown
in horses. tuberculosis, very common
in cattle, is very rare in horses. Frank
furter Zeitung.
