the mayoralty situation in the following
words: AT first DR. Ames was looked
upon as strong only in the district be-
tween Fifth street and the river, the
district that supported him when he
made his famous campaign as the din
ner pail candidate. but now he has

A HORSES STRANGE DIET.
when Fodder Gave Out In LadysmIth
She Ate the stumnR of
q Mattress.

An amusing and at the same time pa
thetic story Is told OF horse that sur
vived the terrible siege at Ladysmith.
This particular mare was a great favor
lite with her master, and the first three
weeks Of the siege Jared not so badly
considering the peculiar circum-
stances; but, alas, Mary's' master was
called away, as an engineer, to erect
q bridge, and during his absence from
home his valued friend was stolen.
Five sad weeks passed, and he be-
gan to think she must have fallen into
the hands OF the Beers. However, on
reaching home one evening there she
was waiting outside Lsr stable. thin
and tired, but delighted TO be home
again, little dreaming what anxious
times were still in store for her.
One faiteful day the authorities gave
orders that no more "mealies" must
be given 10 the stock. Fodder was COM
Wandered for the military horses, and
the day broke at last when there was
absolutely not a mouthful for poor
Mary. Her master arose that morning
sad and perp9exed for her breakfast.
But he suddenly remembered that his
wife had made a newstraw mattress and
two pillows just before the siege be-
gan. No sooner said than done. The
latter were ripped open and Mary had
her novel breakfast. Later on the bed
met with the same fate. and they saved
Mary's life, or probably "Chevreuil"
would have been her end. She is now
well and lively.
