pile of Hamburger horse steak at lower

How Horse Tastes.
This mans family was at dinner when l
called. and upon my asking if he ate horse
meat himself he took me into his dining
room, where hfs wife and children were
devouring plates Of soup made from horse
bones. The children looked healthy. and
he told me that their bodies were largely
made of horse flesh.
He asked me to sample a bit of the meat
and / did SO. 1t tasted like tough deer
with a slight gamey flavor. don't like it,
but that may be owing to prejudice, or it
may be that the bite 1 took was from an
old street car plug, tougher than ordinary
In the Horse Slaughter Houses.
I have visited several of the horse slaurh-
ter houses The first one was like big
barnyard surrounded by low stables and
fenced in at one side with long buildings Of
red brick. At the right of the gate stood
group of butchers their shirt sleeves rolled
up above their elbows and their bare
brawny arms covered with blood. Each
butcher had a leather apron, well spat-
tereu, ana looked altogether rather re-
pulsive than otherwise. / had a permt-t to
see the establishment, and in addition gave
a small fee to one of these men, SO that
everything was thrown open to me-
The FIRST room we entered contained the
horses that had been killed that morning
There were several score of them hung
like beeves from the rafters with their
heads downward. A splendid bay horse
which had just been killed was being
dressed on the floor, white horse was be-
ing skinned, and an inspector was going
over the various cuts of those hung from
the rafters and stamping them.
Killing Horse. ;.
Leaving this room I was taken to an
other. where they were killing. AS
watched them magnificent black carriage
horse was brought in, worth, was told, 100
marks, or SO. 1t was not more than six
years old, and a month or so ago his value
was perhaps $500. He had slipped. on the
smooth streets few days before, and had
so injured himself that he would be lame
for life.
The horse looked at me through his soft,
beautiful eyes he came in, and it almost
sckened me to think of his death. 1t was
affecting to watch him as the butchers

The diplomatic Washington society was never more pleasant than to-day, says writer in Golfers. There are more ambassadors and younger ones, and the attaches seem to be in great demand. Official society is predicated always on the president, of course Mir Roosevelt is the greatest enter tainer at the white house since the days of President Arthur. In addi- stion to the state dinners, and his pri- vate house parties, he and Mrs Roose- welt have planned for the coming win ter a series of brilliant receptions and musicales, entirely apart from and in addition to the New. Years public re- ception, and the four great formal af- fairs where all Washington goes to shake hands and then rushes away again, glad the ordeal is over. The stamp of social prominence, not worth, perhaps, but prominence, in Washing ton, Is to appear in the always in vited" list at the white house. Some strange people get on this list, through political exigencies, but the real ones get there. too. Washington is din- ner-giving city. One never dimes at his own home there. even down to the humber circles of society, unless one is giving a dinner to his friends. Invi- tations go out weeks ahead, and the society of senators and other officials, the diplomats, the army and navy men, to say nothing of the millionaires who entertain all these and their wives, are at great straits to distrib- ute themselves properly. Each win. ter the season is more brilliant than the one before.

NEW YORK, Nov. 7.-Conyinced that an impostor used the name of Goelet to gain the love and hand Of Miss Eleanor Anderson. pretty telegraph girl in the Grand hotel, the family of Mr. Robert Goelet has employed pri- vate detectives to find the man, with instructions to leave no stone unturned to clear up what Is necessarily most painful mystery to the members of the Goeiet family. Even the members of the Anderson family are almost con vinced that Miss Anderson was made the dupe of man who had an ulte- rior purpose in mind, and they are quite as anxious as are the members of Mir. Goelet's family to get at the bottom of the strange affair. .... .la.,

MEXICO AS A RESORT

Change That Time and Railroads
 Have Made in Our Sister Republic.
 Those of Us who remember this city as it was 20 years ago. when neither the Central nor the National was com pleted, can bear witness to something different that was felt in the very air of Mexico of that time It seemed to be dmbued with a deeper restful- ness, and the writer, as he recalls this capital in the spring of 11S3 thinks of it as n place cut off from the busy modern world. a sort of harbor of re- fuge where the stern exigencies of competition had not yet spoiled the joys of life. nhe Alameda, in partic- ular, though sadly neglected, as com pared with its present state, was sym bolical of the Mexico of that time People spent the days on the benches under the tres without any discom- forting self-reproach of occupations ne- glected. Law students, happy though penniless, repaired thither nominally to study, but really to chat for hours on end or to ogle the nurse maids. Even the big yellow butterflies seem ed to wing the air in the fresh, deli cious mornings, or through the long, sunny afternoons, more lazily than now.
 The difference between the Mexico of to-day and the Mexico of that time lies not so much in the material trans formation of the city that has been ac- complished, but ill it's mental atmos- phere. Mexico was not then the busy cosmopolitan place that it is to-day. Life flowed in placid stream as it still flows in such interior cities as Mo rella and Zamora, which, though touched by the railways, have not been metamorphosed by them.
 Yet all of this is perceptible only to the persons who have long resided in Mexico. To strangers from the states this city is just as 1t was 20 years ago. The fast pace, the pace that kills, of northern cities is unknown fhere. The southern charm and the arts that give grace and elegance to life are still prominent, and though a large amount of business is now done here at this capital. which is the com mercial as well as the political center of tSe republic, no one is so absorbed in the pursuit of wealth as to be in- sensible to the amenities of existence. The busiest. man has time to shake hands and exchange greetings with his friends. It is probably this social genialty.> making the people of this city seem like one big family and causing each individual of the com munity to feel that he occupies dis tinct place ill the esteem and consider ation of others. that constitutes one of the charms of life in Mexico Modern Mexico. .-,5

The English visitors who came oyer

The English visitors who came over to study our educational institutions say we are not so much ahead.of their teachers in our methods of teaching but they find a different spirit in the work. As one of them said: In England education is a, bore, but in America it is a business" Our young people are not at all in love in learn ing, by any means, but even those who are not. take 1t for granted that they ought to be, says New York writer in speaking on this subject. They know 1t has serious bearings on life, and that they are throwing away oppor- tunities when they neglect it. They know that they are living in fluid society, in which well-trained ability finds openings for usefulness and suc- cess. such as Europe does not offer. They know that education is the sur est key to useful and successful life in country where very few are born with the proverbial silver spoon in their mouths. and where status" does not fix man in his place and keep him there. Education is an accom- plishment in a monarchial or aristo- cratic country. but 1t is indispensable in democratic republic. sSo it is taken up with more earnestneSs and pursued with more success.

THE ELKs

You may be in San Francisco
 Or down in Dixie land, If you're an Elk you always get An honest, good, glad hand. The emblem of the order
 Is pair of horns, you know; The elk is brave and gentle
 And never fears n foe. Good-fellowship and charity And love for one another Are the principles of Elkdom.
 Each man is made brother To the absent and departed ones. At just eleven at night A toast is drunk in silence.
 An Elk's heart. always right When sick or without money;
 An Elk need have no fear, , No use for him to worry .>< .. When another Elk is near. S.. What the right hand does
 The left doesn't know; Their good deeds they forget:
 There's nothing that n brother needs That he can't get, you bet
 Best people on earth Are the R. F. o. Els; Good fellows that love hot time; Let's sing allld acquaintance ..... Should ne'er be forgot In the good days of Auld Lang Syne!

Abide ye here with the ass; and and the lad will go wonder and worship. ."-- Westminster Gazette.
 A strange case is reported from Tennessee, that of Clarence Peak, who is under a sentence of eighteen months imprisonment for killing a person named Silas Hulin. Peak did murder a man who was supposed to be Hulin, but his victim was wholly different individual. Hulin Is alive and we'll. and has shown himself in court repeatedly. Peak never attack ed him. The friends of Peak are try ing to get his release because a mis- take was made in the identity of his victim. But the Tennessee courts have decided so far that even If Peak did not slay Hulin. he certainly killed someone, and must serve out his sen tence.--Bridgepor Telegram.

Missing Girl From Orange Tells H
 Story of Abduction.
 OMAHA, Neb., Nov. 7.--Miss Joseph inc Coffin, the seventeen-year. old girl who disappeared from her home in East Orange, N. l., arrived here yes terday and is at the home of her cous- i'll, Miss Ward, who is a relative of the wife of Postmaster Crow. Accord ing to the story told by Miss Coffin, she was abducted while under a hyp- notic spell by man and woman, both strangers. ....
 The woman, she says, met her on the street in East Orange and exacted a promise from Miss Colin that she would meet her at q certain place in East Orange. She could not resist the woman's influence and kept the ap- pointment. She was met, she says, by a man who placed her in carriage and took her to New York. After reach ing the latter city the young woman says she lost her memory and knew nothing of her whereabouts until the strange woman aroused her in Chicago.
 It was not until she reached Cedar Rapids that Miss Coffin realized what had happened to her, and she tele- graphed her relatives In this city to meet her, which they did. What the motive for the Kidnapping was the giyl cannot tell

During the next few weeks good rates for money are likely to prevail. and 1t Is conceivable that occasional hurries may be encountered mean while. writes Banker Clews in his weekly letter. It must be remembered that the crop movement is two to three weeks late in most localities, and even four weeks late in some, so that these demands have appeared later than usual, and funds will be corresponding ly late in returning. This will be espe- cially true of the south. where the high price of cotton, the rapidity with which it is' being marketed and the lateness of the crop all tend to upset all or dinary calculations as to the southern movement. The effiux at this time has also been undoubtedly augmented by shipments to strengthen western finan- cial institutions, hence while the heavy liquidation of last summer has saved the money market from the strain that was feared earlier in the year, other demands which could not have been foreseen are imposing themselves, and these effectually prevent easy rates. Just at this iuncture corporation de- mands assert themselves. Pennsyl- vania and some of it's subsidiary con, cerns, also Lake Shore, taking advan- tage of the first favorable opportunity, are putting additional millions of new securities on the market, and certain other leading railroad corporations are likely to follow suit in order to provide funds for Improvements that cannot be indefinitely delayed.

THE BEST REMEDY FOR GROUP

 This is the season when the woman who knows the best remedies for croup Is in demand in every neighbor- hood. One of the most terrible things in the world is to be awakened in the middle of the night by whoop from one of the children. The croup reme- dies are, almost as sure to be lost, In case of croup, as revolver Is sure to be lost in case of burglars. There used to be an old-fashioned remedy for croup. known as hive syrup and tolu, but some modern mothers say that Chamberlain's Cough Remedy Is bet ter and does not cost so much. It causes the patient to throw up the phiegm" quicker. and gives relief in a shorter time. Give this remedy as soon ns the croupy cough appears and if will prevent the attack.
