A fellow up in Chicago who admits
to the name of J. Ham Lewis, recently
came out and said that a woman
doesn't know the value of an oath.
Now [ see that he denies having
alluded to woman in the general sense; ;
he says he meant some women, but
not all women. That was very wise
hedge on Mr.. J. Hams part, because
had he made his remark so sweeping
as he was first reported he might have
had more direct evidence to the con-
trary than he could use in his bust
ness. I understand that Mr.. j. Ham
is lawyer and that he is not con-
nected with the stock-yards in any
way. Well, whatever his calling, he
can go out and lay bets on one thing;
viz, that a woman knows the value Of
good ham and bacon and she can tell
the other kind. Oregon hams are
sold in the East and Eastern hams
are sold in the West but there's more
smoked meat comes out of Armour
dale, Kansas, than all of Oregon and
to give those fellows their due they
know how to raise corn, fatten hogs
and smoke hams. And we know how
to boil them and put the wafer edge
on your ham or bacon, so never mind
where it's raised SO long as it's right.
Hams are lower.
