Jurgis laughed at the discomfort every

he exclaimed. What of the speeding
up" practice of the packers? 1t was
but play to him to keep abreast of the
fastest. He was working to wed Ona.
They were all cheated s~hamelessly
by the sharks which infest the great
packing district; they could not speak
English and they were at the mercy of
these parasites. But as new obliSa-
tons arose in the buying of a small,
worthless house, sold them by an
INSCRIPTIONS agent, etc, etc, Jurgis
but smiled grimly, confident in his
strength, energy and great love for
Ona. Il will work the harder he says.
And then came a misfortune. Ona, a
mere bloom of a girl of Il. had to go
to work-temporarily. Then a young
er child. Then Jurgis had a fateful
day, after many months of faithful and
herculean service for the great corpora
ton. In the melee of a wounded
steer running amuck, he slipped on the
bloody floor and sprained his ankle.

did not see the accident to the Lila, it
is supposed, for the sloop kept right on
in her sea-smashing trip to Bermuda.

After a daring ocean race of $50

finished second in the contest for
which Sir Thomas Upton offered a

lie smallest of them all, being only 2S

feet long and the yawl Lila. 80 feet
All of the craft belong to the Brooklyn
Yacht Club. For eight days these tiny
boats were at the mercy of wind and
wave, so much SO that the yawl Lila
was compelled to put into Norfolk har
Dor to ave itself from destruction
While the smaller yacht bravely stuck
10 its task. They had to cross the gulf
stream $50 miles off Hatteras, one of
the stormiest spots on the Atlantic.
Experienced yachtsmen were much
surprised that the little Gauntlet was
not wrecked or %foundered somewhere
on the way.
BUT TWENTY YEARS Oh.
Mrs. Robinson is only 20 years old
but ever since childhood she has been
used to boating and swimming. For
several seasons she has sailed an eigh-
teen-foot knockabout, making her sum-
mel headquarters near Amboy, on the
lower New York bay. Though small,
she is athletic and skilled in handling
a craft and is said to be without fear
on the water. Storm or sunshine is
all the same to her.

it was with CONSERVATION that the re-

last the committee yielded and permit

The Tamerlane finished the course

arrive until "a hours later. The result
was in doubt until the finish of this

MIR. Sinclair's Story of the Awful
Methods of the Beef Packers.


No more powerful or terrible book
has been written in recent years than
The Jungle" by Upton Sinclair. II
seems incredible that such depth of
human misery as the author relates
could be permitted even by the most
calious money maker G the most
s~oulless corporation or. on the other
hand, that such yileness and filth in
the preparation of human food could
be permitted, yet most of Mr.. Sin
elair's statements are from personal
knowledge and observation, visiting
the great packing plants, as he did
mostly in disguise. Moreover, his
statements have been abundantly cor
roborated by President Rooseyelt's
special commission, whose confidential
report, containing descriptions of deg
radiation, filth and food pollution, is
too vile to print in a newspaper.
The hero of THE JUNGLE Is Jurgis, a
great. broad-shouldered Lithuanian,
who gloried in work, for the mere sake
of it. ever if he had had no incentive.
In the far forests of Lithuania. where
he and his father had lived all their
lives. children of nature. Jurgis had
heard of free America, and that as
much as $40. a week was to be earned
by a willing laboring man, in the great
city of Chicago. And after man argu-
ments and much discussion, he had
prevailed upon his father. and Ona the
sweet blithsome lass 10 whom he was
betrothed. and her mother and several
children and relatives, to emigrate TO
splendid America. where a man may
not always remain a peasant. but
where he has a chance to improve him

a week was an unheard of fortune.
The peasants of Europe make a few
cents a day.

FAVORABLY REPORTED
BILL FOR TEMPORARY HOME FOR
VETERANS APPROVED.

Favorable action by Congress is recon-
mended by the Commissioners on Senate
bill No. A, which provides for the estab-
hshment of temporary home for ex-vol-
unteer Union soldiers and sailors in the
District Of Columbia. The matter was re-
ferred to the board of charities, and In the
Endorsement of Secretary George s. Wilson,
which was approved by the Commissioners
1t was recommended that the project be
favored, provided that no part of the
money appropriated be charged to the rev.
enues of the District of Columbia.
The reason for this phase of the indorse-
ment is that the proposed home according
to Mr.. Wilson's understanding, is intended
only for on-resident veterans of the civil
war and other wars, and 1t is accordingly
argued that the District should not be
charged with any part of the cost of pur
chase or maintenance. The bill provides
that the home shall be established on lots
Sc to IS, inclusive In block 8 of the SchuetZ-
en- Park subdivision in the District of Co
lun1bia, and that it shall be of sufficient
size to accommodate at least 100 men at
one time.
The project has been Endorsed by all
the national organizations of soldiers and
many other societies and by individuals.
The national body of the United Spanish
War Veterans in session at Milwaukee last
September Endorsed the proposition by
adopting favorable resolutions by stand
ing vote.

Mails in the Catskills.
le Brooklyn Eagle

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
The rural free delivery in the Catskll
mountain region is now beginning to meet
with its hardships, as it does every winter.
The free delivery has been great boon
for the jewellers of out-of-the-way places
IN the Catskill country and If 1t were to
be discontinued the country folk would be
very much Inconvenience. Before the
rural free delivery went into effect, the
farmers used to travel miles every day, or
every other day, to the nearest post Of
fee and get their mail. In some cases the
residents in outlying sections did not get
their mail only once week. Then Uncle
Sam stepped in and got his rural free de-
livery in working order. Everybody was
asked to put mail box, fastened to his
fence, If there was a fence, on a short
post, IL the house was removed from the
main road, so that the postal carriers could
deliver the mail and collect it without los
ing the time necessary In going to and from
each farm house. The Fact that there were
unfriendly dogs in some of the farm houses
had something to do with this provision OF
the rural free delivery laws also, It is pre-
sumed. At any rate, the queer little home
made mail boxes began to appear all along
the roads throughout the mountain section
on the other side of the Hudson. In some
cases they were mere cigar boxes with the
name of the owner written, painted, pasted
or framed thereon. In some other cases
more pretentious affairs were fixed for
Uncle Sans mall carriers. and even in
some cases iron mail boxes. OF the regula-
ton city pattern. were arranged. The
