over the matter. Then DC said; '.Jiin. you

tribe more than a year sincs humble
Jack Cadahy left the butcher shop 10 do
I the specializing. ami to-day be Is regarded
as the leading spiris IF the market. He
seems 10 have grasped the spirit OF specu-
lation by very intuition. His luck is mar
velous, his daring unprecedented in the
i street, and his success has been phenoms-
nal. tie is worth good deal more than a
million in real estate, AMI is sail 20 carry
/ a bank account OF as much more. He and
Armour are now engineering the pork mar
ket, aud practically own all t8e pork in
the West. His deals in wheat aud corn
have been very heavy, and Keep from five
TO seven houses busy with his accounts
alone. Jack" Cudahy is a genial, roll
licking Irishman, just turned thirty -one.
He is the plain looking chap that he
was VIII sn he chopped meat in Milwaukee
eighteen months ago. Success has not
spoiled him nor his suddenly acquired
I fortune turned his head The only differ
/ ence observable is that where his asso-
ciates used 10 be the boys OF the cleaver
and the ''pig- stickers" Of the Stock yard 4,
they are now bank presidents sni capital
lists of the Board. Jack, IL is TO be re-
GREETED, is rather unlettered; but that, he
says, will improve in time, and laughing.
I ly adds that he has got aS far "a knowing
how TO sign his name 20 check. One of
his great traits developed since his fort
une came Is generosity. In fact, Jack is
blooming out as kind of phi iianthropist.
He is exceptionally liberal TO the Catholic
Church, of which he is an ardent alherent.
He gives huge checks TO the orphan asy-
lums, 70 the clergy. and no Sister ever left
Jack Cudahy's presence without rich
bounty from his purse. When Bishop
Riorian left here for San Francisco, Jack
chartered special train to take him to
Omaha, and from there on he had pri.
vate car-all at Cudahy's expense. And
if the good Bishop needed a fat check for
any piOus purpose we may rest assured he
got it. An humble fellow jack Cu1ahy is,
but hs has become mighty power in the
Chicago grain market. That is the history
OF "A young man forced into sudden wealth
by pure luck and the possibilities of gsmb
7 ling in the cereals.
