ton. On the floor Of the house where
I lived had . room at one end Of the
hall, and at the other end was the room
Of the meanest fellow in New Hamp-
shire. I did not drink and he did.
When was absent from my room he
used TO come down the hall. open my

I'VE had 70 pay for everything in
that houae which We broke. Once when
this fellow broke . lamp chimney he
gathered up the pieces Of broken glass
carefully, carried them into my room,
and distributed them around the door.
Then he got . stone and left Il in my
room to make IL seem that some one
had thrown Il through the open window
and broken my lamp chimney. OF
course he took my chimney and put It
on his lamp.
'But the meanest thing which I ever
knew him TO do was when he broke .

ten cents, and he could easily have set

play the same old stone game, however.
He actually gathered mp every splinter

BIG SHORTAGE IN PORK.
Packing Houses Cutting Down Working
Forces-Unparalleled Duilness.

CHICAGos Dec. 25.-The packing house
business has reached a dullness unparal-
leled for many years. Five hundred men
have been discharged and the plants of
the big packers have been working less
than half their capacity since December |.
This unusual condition of things is
brought about by the unusual shortage of
hog receipts, and unless the supply is
speedily Increased further reductions in
the operating forces will be made neces-
sary. Statistics for November show a
shortage in hog receipts of l54. 900 as COM
pared with November, 1891. Chicago for
the same period this year packed 80 900,
against 1,000, ,470 in 1891. Leading packers
admit that there does not seem to be any
immediate sign of the shortage becoming
less, and some of them go so far as TO
assert that no relief can come until the
next spring crop of hogs is marketed.
Usually at this time of the year packing
houses are running at their full capacity.
but now the remarkable scarcity of hogs
and high prices asked for stock in market
makes the packing of pork decidedly
costly and Improbable. The shortage is
ascribed to various causes. Colbert Stra-
horn, who has been IN the business over
ehAitS ySdiS auN 10 tiuply duoiiucd Wy GA
perience to speak on the matter, said:
Heavy spring rains played prominent part
in the question, the continued wet weather
killed off the spring crop of pigs that would
have been marketable now. Then the low prices
OF the product early in the spring made the
farmers careless, and instead OF keeping their
hogs, as they usually DO, until the holidays,
they fattened them corn and sent them TO
market There is and will be a demand for fresh
pork here and demand from Europe for
picked meats, which takes all the recei pts,
leaving little for packers to put i'll their own
cellars.
Another pig packer said that while
prices for hogs had advanced to almost
double that of year ago, the prices for
provisions have not kept pace with the
advance in hogs. Consequently, the sea-
son has not been profitable one for pack
ers. No change for the better is antici-
pated for several months.
