prove them.
During the first thirtr- six years OF his
life Mr.. Swift acquired but little wealth
but during those years he had been lay
ing the foundation, consciously or uncon-
sciously, for his subsequent phenomenal
success. He had been observing, thinking
and accommodating a stock OF useful knoWl-
edge as we'll as working.
When he came to Chicago in 1875 there
were great packing establishments at the
stock yards, rich and powerful, and the
field seemed to be completely filled. ANY
man OF ordinary capacity and force with
little money would not have thought OF
entering it any more than he would have
thought OF manufacturing iron and steel
to compete with Carnegie In Pittsburg.
But Mr.. Swift saw an opportunity and
seized II without hesitation. Beginning
with a small slaughter house at the stock
yards, where only a few animals could be
handled daily, he developed his business
with wonderful r~apidity, and almost before
his great competitors knew what he was
doing he was abreast OF them.
This was not mere luck. Mr.. Swift not
only knew the business as II was then
done, from buying to marketing. but he
had ideas OF his own. He knew that in
the preparing Of animals for the market
there was e great deal Of waste. II was

Riot of Flowers ON Summer Hats

EW YORK, April 12.-(Special Cor
respondence. 1.-THE first glimpse
- of this years millinery openings
H3Rf& gives the impression that the
- feminine fancy has gone flower
mad, but before a circuit of the showcases
has been made the sightseer decides that,
after all, It is a most intoxicating madness.
Never before has the art OF reproducing
the natural blossoms reached such a stand
ard of perfection. As ar evidence OF
this 1t may be cited that a smart shop,
noted for its exquisite decorations, as we'll
as its chic millinery, had on neighboring
tables plateaus of real and artificial hya-
cinths, and so wonderful was the repro
duction process that when the secret was
whispered about groups Of women fell to
wagering chocolate sodas on the real and
the counterfeit, the decision being reached
by lingering the blossoms.
A number of new flowers have invaded
the millinery field this year, including
wistaria, ~hydrangeas, hops, hawthorne,
lilacs, both white and purple, and dandelion
pun balls. While some Of these blossoms
have been offered before, they were not
manufactured in styles which lent them
selves artistically to trimming, but the
dropping flats Of this season carry the
long-stemmed flowers admirably.
