Approval Of the means and meth
ods employed and satisfaction with
the results and with the present sit
uation SO far as their business is
concerned, seems to be the view now
held by the meat packers relative to
the action OF the government In re.
quirfng that their operations be su-
pervised by government inspectors.
It is now conceded by the packers
that their work should be inspected,
and the inspection has been q help
to them rather than otherwise. It
Is quite probable that the same mu-
tually pleasing outcome win be the
final result OF other movements Of
the government in the direction Of
supervision and regulation, even
though there are the same protests
to overcome at the beginning that
marked the beginning OF the packing
industry supervision.

the boys was thrown out and severely
injured. The other remained In the
wagon. and while the speed OF the
frightened team increased every Sec

As the horses passed Frank Tous-

seeing the predicament of the boy,
attempted to catch hold OF the dang

animal, without sound, ranged him
self into line to seize the reins. and.
In his anxiety to do SO, was struck by
the wheel and instantly killed. The
boy managed to get hold of one rein,

There 10 surely no word In the nom.
enclature Of guns, big and little, which
has caused, and is causing, so much

The confusion arises chiefly from
the use Of the term In an adjectival
sense to indicate length, as when We
say q 5escahber, e-inch gun.
The word caliber a. applied to artil.

McClure's. The acceptance of any

other nations but would give to the
favored people such an enormous ad.
vantage In the control OF the political
world and such immeasurable prefer
ence In the worlds market that no
healthy nation would consent to 1t be-
fore its downfall.
For that reason -. the chances
we're never worse; the spirit of siren
uous, yet friendly rivalry between the
nations In the markets of the world
was never more wide awake. and the
feeling of national honor was never
purer and nobler The more the hopes
for international arbitration become
realized, the more all nations Of the
world become sincere friends: the
more they are eager and ought to be
eager to keep clear their own indi-
viduality. together with their own
rights and duties. their own successes
and responsibilities. Andrew Carne-
