in insisting upon their being taken

men who have been furloughed. in
their eagerness to get home, have
over estimated their strength and

THEY ATE HoRsEFLEsH.


The Generals Guests Got the Meat They
Were Asked to Eat, but Didn't Know 1t.
A man who distinguished himself
as commanding officer in the re-
bellion was lunching with several
brokers in Broad street when the
conversation turned on the relative
merits of French and American
cooking, and he said:
I'm my opinion the French cooks
lead the world, and they have shown
Gs that many things are edible
which we never dreamed of serving
on our tables. I noticed an account
in the newspapers of horse meat
dinner that was given in Williams
burg by freak club, and it recalled
little experience of my own. The
French people do not look upon
horsefesh with the aversion of the
average American l do not mean to
say that horse meat is considered a
choice article of diet in Paris, but it
is used there to a certain extent.
happened to be in Paris Is years
ago, and several of my friends there
assured me that horse meat might
be prepared in a very appetizing
fashion for the table. / was curious
to try it, and I invited a dozen peo-
pie to breakfast on horse meat with
me at my hotel Ny guests were all
Americans, and they were all anx-
ious to see what cooked horse meat
looked like, though they were doubt
full about eating it. I got an excel
lent steak of horsef1esh and another
of beef, SO that my guests need not
go home hungry if they didn't
choose to eat the horse meat
when we were all seated at the
table, / told the walters to serve
the breakfast. In came steak, and
my guests eyed it closely, 1t was
nicely cooked, and when it was
served four or five of the men pres
ent just tasted it and then pushed
their plates away.
I can imagine, general, said
one of them, that if | had been
cooped up in this city during the
siege, when the provisions ran low,
/ might get hungry enough to en-
joy this horse steak. It is beautiful
ly cooked, but of course one notices
at once that it doesn't taste like
beef. In fact, would be obliged to
you if your waiter would remove it.
! am satisfied at being able to say
that sat down to a horse steak
breakfast in Paris.
Several of the other guests said
much the same. thing and the Of
Tending steak was removed. Then
came the other steak and my guests
ate a hearty breakfast.

famine, said one, this beef is good
enough for me. don't want to try

that other candidates who were await
