’ THEY all eat horse •KILLIAN AND HIS FAMILY FEAST ON . EQUINE MEALS. Utahna That It la Mach Mora Haalthfhl Thea Baas —B« Ata It Ybara A<o In ■witaarland Bow Be Again Daed It Var Food. Choice roast of horse a la Suisse for -dinner and a sirloin of horse for supper Were the meat portion of the menu at » the home of M. P H. Killian of St. ■ Louis recently He said that he and his ■ family will continue to eat horse meat f long as he can afford to purchase . horses suitable for the purpose. So far I -as known Mr. Killian is the only advo- ■ cate of hippophagy in St. Louis, al though both he and his wife claim that there are many others, but that they 4ue not frank enough to own up to it. Mr Killian is a native of Switzer land and came to America about ten years ago. His trade is that of a butcher, -and he worked at it for 13 years before coming here. He says that in the coun try he came from horse meat is used as ■extensively for food as beef is here. He -asserts that it is much more healthful than beef and is used in his country with great success in hospitals. Since r-coming to America Mr. Killian says he | lias not eaten horse meat until the other •day, although he has often longed for it, He says that he used it so long for a •staple article of food that he prefers it to any other meat. The Killian family consists of him self, his wife and three children, the • oldest 8 years of age. Their comfortable home and the appearance of the family • dispel at once the idea that the horse meat was eaten as a matter of necessity. Each member of the family is the pic ture of health. Mrs. Killian is a model ■ of the comely Swiss housewife and does not look any the worse for eating the meat with which her husband says he ■ - supplied his table. In speaking of how he again com- I menced using horse meat as a food, aft- I er abstaining from it for so long, Mr. Killian tells the following story: About a month ago he found bin-self out of a r. job and could find no other He was too thrifty a man to sit calmly down and . see his small savings spent without any thing coming in, so he cast about for some means of picking up a few stray ' > dollars to supply the family larder until hefcould find a permanent position. Be h ing a butcher, he went among the slaugh • ter houses of St. Louis and in his ram bles found one that was unused. This hevented for a small amount and start ed in a new business on his own hook. It is a fact that there is on sale at the horse and mule markets a certain class of animals which to the dealers is known as “glue stock.” This is old horses - and mules, so antiquated, and decrepit that they are unfit even to haul an ash . cart This “glue stock” is usually sold to the proprietors of glue factories and brings from $1 to $8 per head. Killian . knew of these sales and conceived the idea of making money as a middleman between the horse dealers and the man ufacturers. After having completed arrangements with the glue manufacturers and rent- L *ing the slaughter house he went to the > mule and horse market and purchased a -couple of horses, which he took to the r .slaughter house and killed. He skinned I the carcasses and sold the bodies at one i of the glue factories. The hides he sold I to a hide dealer, with whom he had previously made arrangements. On his investment he realized quite a neat lit tle profit and was so well satisfied with ■ thQ results that he has continued in the business, and it is yielding him a suffi pa -cient sum to live comfortably. While working on the bodies of the hordes he had killed he experienced the ■desire to once more eat horse • meat. Having killed so many horses for food in the old country, he was a good judge of the kind of an animal to be used for that purpose, so he looked about for a horse to be used as food. He finally found one which could, J be purchased r SINCE THE INTRODUCTION , OF THE ANIMAL \ EXTRACTS four years ago greater advance has been made in the cure of Nervous Diseases than was obtained in the previous half century.

Lu< which, be claims, was in a perfectly healthy condition. Before purchasing the horse be informed an acquaintance of his intentions and was told that he would be arrested To make matter* ■nre he applied for the permit to kill and eat the horse and was refused. He was a disappointed man when he left the city .hall after the refusal, for bi» appetite for horse meat had returned and he now saw all chances of satisfy ing it disappearing. However, he con sulted a number of his friends and learned that there was no law to pre vent him from eating what be wanted to, so he purchased the horse and a por tion of it adorned his table recently.

These might be interspersed through the programme A member with any cleverness in photography might make a series of Dickens' lantern slides from pictures in standard editions of the novelist’s works and giveamagio lan tert: entertainment.

Some years ago, according to the Bos ton Transcript, an inventor who had de vised a new sleeping car took his plans to Mr. Pullman. The latter, after look ing over them, said: "‘There is an idea there. 1 will give you $ 100,000 cash for your patents. ” The inventor was a poor man, and he Would not accept the terms. He said that if the idea was worth SIOO,OOO to Pullman it was worth millions to him. The car was built and proved a financial failure, and it is believed that even to this day the inventor does not know where the “idea” was whose presence Mr. Pull man discerned in the working plans.
