4I4dh4ilS seventy thousand cans TOT meats a day. Of course that must compel an expression of wonder even in Kansas City-though you are phlegna- 1 tic-while in our country it will meet with doubt
 We work more industriously though not so rapidly as you. We raise twice as much per acre as you. yet you make more money of your acre than we do. 1 In addition to that in America you have two acres to our One-ten acres, I am told, would be nearer the mark" i Such report as that published in Germany over the signature of Baron won Fluegge. government official that he is. may be of some value one way or another.
 If Kansas City entertained the Visi- tors, the visitors entertained Kansas 1 City. Nothing like their morning greeting of each other and the Com mercial club escort was even seen. No two of them wore hats, coats or trou- sers alike, and each has his own par 1 ticular way of raising his hat. He raised it to the hotel clerk. he raised it to the telephone girl, he raised it the 1 moment he caught sight of the tele- graph girls and off it went if a way farer asked him the time of day. One man held his hat at arms length straight up another straight ahead and still another tried to flag train with, 1 his. It was something fierce to see Dr. Lndemann, who was promptly dubbed 'the kaiser" because of his rancied re- ! semblance to that illustriOus monarch. l The "kaisers' hat was shaped like that worn by actors who do Mephisto. A greeting to the kaiser" sent the fingers of the right hand to the peak of the hat with a jerk, carried them to the sum init with another jerk, and then off went the cady and it looked for all the world as though the delighted visitor was making a present of the thing to the newcomer. The kaiser" was the comedian of the party. At the 1 Schwarzschild & Sulzberger all were procided with linen coats to protect their own clothing. The coats were 1 immaculate when put on. The kaiser spoiled his by doing stunt on the floor of the killing beds He stepped on a piece of fat mtat and down he went.
 
 the roar of laughter at the 'kaiser's" plight, their own heels slipped from un- der them and away they went, For the next two hours the kaiser" was eX- plaining to his quondam acquaintance. Speaking English indifferently he sought to improve his method of com munication by reaching around and grabbing his skirt after the fashion of the day as affected by some women. The girls in the packing houses violated all rules of the service the moment they caught sight of the kaiser" He insis- ted on talking to them and excused the splotches where he sat down by panto- mime. He enjoyed it quite as much as the girls did.
 At Schwarzschild & Sulzberger's and at Armour's the entire party went through the plants in a single body At Swist's it was broken up into sec tions of eight. and guide sent with each detachment. It was a revelation to the visitors to hold watches and find hogs being slaughtered at the hate of five hundred an hour. Count Kinski, an Austrian; not yet of age, but stand- ing six feet four inches, asked to be per mitted to accompany one hog on it's journey. From the time the hog left the ground alive until it was pushed over to be sold exactly thirty-one min- utes had eleDsed. Behind sthat hog tine count then found 24S Count I<iask;'s explanation Of the various meats was surprise for the local packers We do not like it so fat" he declared. In this country and in England We find you run to fat. We want but little fat just around the outside We are amazed to see ouch fat cattle here. We did not know yours were so well bred up. We have been misinformed. By no other means than this inspection could we have obtained such information as we have gathered. You kill an OK by single blow Of the hammer and raise that hammer two hundred times an hour in single packing house. We have no such .celerity. an immense amount oe fuss and no end of govern ment inspection. Yours in all business; ours is al! formality. You clean your floors by scalding water, which we all agree is a purifier; we hamper our in- dustry by demanding cement tloor titled wall and scientific cleaning, until it is next to impossible to go on with the work. The consequence is delay, and the public pays for it."-Kansas City Journal.
