NOTHING ALLOWED TO WASTE
Starving Garrison Of Mafeklna Glad
TO Avail Themselves Of Their
Horses as Food.

Horse a la Mafeking was the chief
nourisher of the garrison beleaguered
in that town for 217 days during the
Boer war, according to Gen. Sir Rob
ert Baden-Powell, who told the story
of horse as a breakfast food-and a
luncheon and supper food at that
at the recent dinner Of the Boy
Scouts of America. Only the hair
they did not eat-every other shred
of the animal they made use Of,
somehow. Here are some of the de-
tails, expurgated from most Of the
accounts of the speech: As the horses
we're starved to death, there was not
much meat left on them. What
there was the soldiers chopped up
into sausages. The skin they boiled
for &c hours, then cut into strips, and
sold for IS pence a pound. The slips
of gristle and meat that chung to the
bones they soused and made into
soup-Chevreuil, they called this
delicacy. The bones themselves they
ground into powder TO adulterate the
flour. They pulled off the shoes to
make into shells. They sent the
name and tail to the hospital for use
in stuffing mattresses.-New York
Evening Post.

CONGRESSMAN
CALEB POWERS
Wants Good Roads aS q
Substitute For Lower
Tariff Rates.

Especial dispatch to the EnquirerJ
Washington, April 3.-The great.
est good Congress can do the coun.
try is to construct good roads, &C.
cording to Representative Powers,
Of the Eleventh Kentucky District
who to day introduced a bill APP
propriating $75,O00,OOO for this
work, and issued this explanation.
81 have introduced bill provid.
ing for Federal aid in the construc.
ton and maintenance Of good roads
in every state and territory in the
Union. In my judgement the great
est blessing which can come to this
country through congressional leg.
islation is the construction and
mainten Of good roads, while
the greatest curse to be remedied is
corruption in politics and elections.
| have introduced bills on both sub.
jects.
my good roads bill provides,
among other things. for the estab-
lishment in the Department of Agri-
culture a bureau to be know as the
Bureau of Public Roads. This blu.
reau is to cooperate with the offic
ers in the various states and terri.
tories in the construction and main.
tenance Of public roads. The Ma.
tional Government is to pay for one
half OF the expense and the states
the other half. My bill provides
that $75.OC0, 900 shall be approp.
rated for this purpose and that
SIS, 100000 shall be expended each
year. The money is to be approp
rated among the various states in
proportion to population. not
counting the population OF cities OF
$4,000 or more.
81 know that good roads legisla-
ton will he worth more to the peo-
pie of my district than all the tariff
legislation that has been dreamed
81 by either political party for the
last quarter of a century"
