CLUB HAD
GOOD TIME
INTERESTING SESSION OF LITER
AIRY ORGANIZATION AND AN
MATED DISCUSSIONS.
Packing Houses and the Packing Bust
ness Subject of Evening, Recent
Investigations Entering Into Con-
troversy-committee Named to
Look After Some Binding.

The meeting last night of the Lar
annie Literary club at the Carnegie
library was an exceptionally interest
ing one. There was a large attend
ance of members and the subject under
discussion, THE Packing House Dis
Closures prayed to be one upon which
every member had something to say.
Eli Crumrine, president of the club,
presided and appointed Mr.. McEwen
to take the chair during the literary
program and Prof. Quaintance to act
as critic for the evening.
Committee on Binding.
The president appointed w. S.
Ingham, N. E. Corthell and Frank
Spafford to act as a committee to
have in charge the matter of the bind
ing of the files of the Sentinel for the
library.
1t was decided that because of the
fact that the next meeting night falls
on the same evening as commence
men at the university, no meeting will
be held.
DR.. Brown, D. N. Stickney and G.. D.
Spalding were appointed by the pro-
gram committee to speak at the meet
ing two weeks hence upon the subject
of Vacations and N. E. Rogers is to
introduce a current topic.
Government Supervision Imperative.
Prof. Knight gave a most interesting
talk upon the Economics of the Pack
ing Business" and w. S. Ingham fol
lowed with a talk upon 'The Pure
Food Agitation and the Packing Bust
ness" In the general discussion which
followed a variety of views were ex-
pressed upon the present phase of the
agitation against the packing houses.
The majority of the members who
spoke were of the opinion hat the
recent disclosures made it imperative
that the government must exercise a
strict supervision over the business of
slaughtering and preparing meat foods.
Kitchens and Packing Plants.
Several members, while they agreed
with the belief that there should be
government inspection, were of the
opinion that the agitation is based
upon exaggerated reports, and that
there are many kitchens and many
local slaughter houses where the con-
ditions are no better than in the pack
ing houses in regard to cleanliness.
To this the reply was made that pri-
vate kitchens and slaughter houses af-
feet only those in their immediate vi.
cinity, and that the packing business
affects the whole country ana also the
business of this country with the out
side world.
Farmers Sometimes at Fault.
The subject of small butchers was
brought up n it vas stated that
ranchmen and others are in the habit
of selling diseased and injured ami
mails to the local trade, and that there
is no inspection of any kind to act
as a hindrance to them. 1t was also
stated that the farmers and ranchmen
throughout the country are, many of
them, as much to blame as the big
packers in the matter of selling dis

Harry Cooks face Frightened at once, and
he was just about to speak, when warming
gesture from Long checked him.
I'VE mustn't be seen talking together or
these chaps will suspect something; but, when
you get chance, just tell Jones and Iuckey
yonder what we've planned, and see that
they're ready to bear hand when they're
wanted"
Jack Longs plan was simply to wait till
the greater part of the pirate crew had gone
below to rest (which they were now doing
one by one, having been kept on deck all
night by the storm, to imprison them by
clapping on the matches and battening them
down, and then to attack those who were left
on deck.
1t was a desperate venture, and certain
death if it failed; but death itself seemed
better than the hideous bondage that awaited
them in Algiers, and when Cook had succeed
ed in communicating the scheme to Tnckey
and Jones, the looks exchanged by the four
young heroes showed that they meant busi-
ness
Meanwhile the day was wearing toward
afternoon. The breeze had died away, and
everything was stifingy hot and close. All
of the Turks had gone below but five, four
of whom were lying half asleep on the deck,
while the grim commander himself, Hussein
Ali, had sat down to smoke his pipe in the
shadow of the mainmast, still keeping a
watchful eye, however, on the four prisoners
All at once he rose to his feet, and looked
anxiously upward at the sky, as if fearing
that this sudden calm might betoken another
storm. Then he shouted:
"Take in the mainsail"
Los Angeles herald., 1906-08-19

''Now, boys" whispered Long, as they
hastened to obey, well stow that sail clunl-
silly, and that old Billy-goat will get savage,
and come aloft to show us how to do it, and
then, the minute you hear me sing out, All
clear below' grip him and chuck him over
board"
Brave as they were all four felt their hearts
beat quicker as they mounted the rigging,
knowing that few minutes more must decide
whether they we're to live or die. To work
they went, and as Long had foreseen, Hus-
sein Ali soon came rushing aft, shouting
angrily:
lis that how you stow a sail, you Christian
dogs? Your backs shall smart for this pres
emily"
"All clear below!" cried Jack Long, as the
Turk came within reach.
Instantly Hussein Alis bulky figure was
seen flying downward; but the powerful Mus
suIman was not to be so easily disposed of.
Instead of alighting on the deck or in the
water, he fell harmlessly into the hollow of
the sail, and clutching a rope, swung himself
on to the port bulwark. In another moment
he would have been safe on the deck; but
lust then Long who had slid down like light
ming by weather back-stay, snatched up a
heavy SPAR and dealt the pirate blow on
the head that sent him down into the sea
like a stone.
Now, JONES'" said the young leader clap
the matches upon those fellows below, while
we jump for-ard and tackle the rest"
Jones obeyed; but the noise he made in
doing SO fairly aroused the four slecpers on

turbed by the sounds OF the scuffle with Hus
sem Ali. All four sprang TO their feet. at
once, and drawing their long knives, rushed
upon the English boys.
But just at the right moment Cook let 90

heavy rope flew back among the Turks, knock.

Tuckey grappled the fourth, and soon had him

ceeded to get the crafts head around
But their perils were not over yet A heavy

nine imprisoned pirates below were irving

The ship was now their own again. AMI
early next morning the four daring lads
brought her safely into Gibraltar, which at
that time still belonged to Spain, where they
turned the tables upon the pirates by selling
them to the Spaniards for fifty dollars apiece
which-as Jack Long remarked with grim
was "a great deal more than the rogues were
worth"

All the way home Mr.. Brown had not said
anything by way of reproof, and Jerry him
self had not been able to get up courage to
confess his fault but, ais he lay in bed the
terror if his fight through the air all at
once came back to him. Perhaps he was half
dreaming.
"Oh," he cried, wildly, don't let me fall!"
His fathed touched him on the shoulder.

~7OUR English boys stood on the deck
of a fastsailing craft in the Medi-
terranean-which seemed to be max
Is Nfs9aE ing for the north coast of Africa
SSS working sullenly and with downcast
faces
One would rather have expected them to
be looking bright, and keeping time to their
work with song, for the day was beauti-
fully fne, and the vessel bounded over the
smooth sea at grand rate. But their gloomy
looks were fully explained by the presence of
dozen or more dark, keen-eyed, ferce-looking
men IN Eastern dress, one of whom-a big,
powerful savage fellow, with hideous scar
across his bearded face-shouted some order
to the four lads every now and then, fol-
lowed up with volley of abuse in strange,
outlandish tongue.
The fact was that the Bristol barque Jacob,
to which these boys belonged, had been cap
tured two days before by a Turkish corsair,
and the pirates had decided upon carving
their prize into Algiers, and selling her crew
as slaves to the Moors of Barbary-the usual
fate of Christian captives in those days. But
a sudden squal had separated the two yes
sells, and the Jacob was left alone upon the
sea with crew of thirteen Turks, including
the big officer above mentioned, and the four
English sailor lads, who had been put on
board to assist in working the ship.
Certainly the poor fellows might well look
gloomy, with such a prospect before them;
but any one who had looked closely at the
face of Jack Long, the eldest of the four,
tall, active cur1y-headed lad of seventeen,
would have noticed sudden gleam in his
bold, brown eyes which showed that he had
not lost all hope even now.
81 say, Harry" whispered he to Harry
Cook, while helping him to haul in the slack
of rope, "are you game to fight if there's a
chance of our breaking loose"
"Rather!" answered Harry, emphatically-
anything rather than be made slaves of by
these rascals."
"Well," said Long. "In tell you how l
think we might do it."
And, bending forward, he whispered few
words in his comrades ear

and the pale face turned up to heaven, lay
the boy. The stranger leaned over him, and
Jerry opened his eyes.
"Father!" he cried, gladly, and burst into a
flood of tears.
They carried him back to where the cart
was waiting, and then took him down to the
village. The balloon made a comfortable
though ill-smelling bed, and by the time they
reached Chestnutville, Jerry had begun to
believe that he was not SO badly hurt, af-
ter all.
In this view the doctor concurred The
boys arm was broken and he was pretty well
bruised, but beyond that there was no Sc
rous injury. When the doctor had set the
fractured bone, he felt well enough. to be tax
en- home, and within an hour and half he was
resting in his own bed.
