an amusing conversation between one of
the iron-workers and a man who was
cleaning the windows of similar struc

The man who was cleaning the windows
was husky Irishman; and US he swabbed

ceased his tune, and, peering into the
window on the ledge Of which he was
standing, carefully surveyed roomful OF

cause of her losing flesh was that she
was in love with the living skeleton,

When Commissioner Garfield went
to the Chicago packers and asked per.
mission to inspect their books. the con
dition was made that no information
he might obtain therefrom would be
used in court proceedings against
them.
Mr.. Garfield gave this pledge, it il
stated, and the packers allowed him
to study their business in all its de.
tails from the inside.
Now, it is announced, the results Of
his study have been turned over to the
government department Of justice to
be employed in legal prosecution Of
the packers.
Commissioner Garfield would not
have ventured to give the pledge that
was demanded by the packers without
instructions from Washington. He
pledged, not his own word, but the
governments. It is not his good faith,
but the governments, that is in ques-
ton now.

packers, except as they are citizens Of
Chicago. If it can be proved that they
