The cast iron nerve of such people
is only equalled by that of the con

THE MEAT PACKERS TRAIL.

Albert Fl. Veeder, the govern
ment's first witness in the trial of the
big packers now in progl ess in the
0. s. court at Chicago, has produced
mass of discriminating evidence
against these men which it will be
hard for them to overcome. Veeder
was attorney for Swift & Co., one of
the parties under indictment, in
1902, when the meat trust was formed.
He produced the original agreement
en- tered into by the three big firms.
Armour. Swift and Norris
Under the terms of this agreement
the three large packing corporations
and their subsidiary companies, to-
gether with recently acquired indie
pendent companies were to be merged
into one concern. The value of the
three co npanies was set at $I82, OOO,
0C0 and the earnings of the combina-
ton were placed at about $25, 600, 900.
The new trust was to be capitalized
with common stock representing %
times the earning, or $685., 600 900.
Armour, Swift and Morris were TO
receive bonds and preferred stock. in
the new company in payment for the
value of their tangible property, and
in addition to this the promoters we're
to receive $25, 900, 600 worth of the
new company's stock for intangible
property and big block of common
stock for their good will, this amount
to be fixed by the earnings of the
different plants during the first year
of the new merger.
The promoters planned to borrow
$50, 600, 900 to finance the corporation
for the purchase of independent
plants, and it was the intention to
ultimately capitalize at a billion
dollars Arrangements were partial
ly made with big New York banks to
provide this ninety millions, and

A LOST DOG RETURNS
WALKS 297 MILES TO GET BACK
TO CHICAGO HOME.
Stolen Two Months Before, Pet Wac

Chicago.-It's a walk of 2S7 miles
from Evansville, Ind, to Chicago and
there aren't any sign posts on the
way that dog can read; but this is
the trip that John Cummings, janitor
Of the fat building at 6451 Monroe
avenue, says his dog Rex completed
Rex disappeared two months previ-
GUS and hadn't been seen at the Cum
nings residence since until he ap-
peared gaunt and footsore, but with
wagging tail and happy eyes. His eff
fusive greetings to the members OF
the Cummings family left no doubt in
their minds that he had worn himself
thin just to get back to his old home
again.
He took up his duties where he left
them off when he went away, and al
ley cats left his neighborhood and
late pedestrians heard the growl that
told the Cummings watch dog was
again on the job.
Mr.. Cummings insists that there
isn't any doubt but that the dog trav-
eled from southern Indiana to Chi
cago because he recently received in
formation that the dog had been sent
toIthat place.
When the animal first disappeared
MI Cummings thought the dog catch
ers had captured him. A hurried trip
to the dog pound was made, but no
trace of the pet could be found Then
his master received information that
a former owner of the dog had him
The man denied this report when Mr..
Cummings asked him about it. Then
another tip came to the effect that
the dog had been sent to Evansville.
Anyway, Rex has returned and if
he could talk he would tell long
story of his travels, if his starved
body and worn out feet are any indi-
cations of the length of his journey.
He won't lack for anything to eat
from now en-" the happy janitor said,

meet every Tuesday TO FIX the price to

Counsel for the Swifts has sent out
to the newspapers of the country for
publication synopsis of the case,
which as presented IN the Indictment
makes 90 printed pages. The Herald
received this synopsis last week, but
it is too lengthy for publication. In
it the defense shows in brief what the
charges of the government are, In the
indictment and attempts to slow that
they are unfounded.
According to this attorney the
packers make very little, if any.
profit out of their frseh meat business.
In fact, be claims that the fresh beef
in any animal brings to the packer
less in money than the packer pays
for the live animal, and the difference
has to be made up in the by-products,
such as hide, tallow, tongue, hoofs,
horns, tail and other portions of the
carcass, which constitute about 45
per cent of the animal.
These statements can be taken with
considerable allowance, however,
and better estimate of their truth
may be formed after they have borne
the scrutiny they will receive when
presented in the shape of sworn testi-
mony.
The profits of the packing com
pauies are caused to look smaller for
the reason that their business in the

1900 and continued until 1902, was one

packers by-products. The Kenwood
Co. dealt partially in oleomargarine
and the Aetna Trading Co. in castings
The government expects to show that
while the Kenwood company was only
capitalized at $14, 900, its profits for
one year were four millions of dollars,
and those of the Aetna company
proportionately large. The defense
has strenuously opposed having the
testimony relative to the Kenwood
and Aetna companies recsived, and
it caused some delay last week, the
jury being excused temporarily while
the judge heard legal arguments bear
ing upon the matter.
1t is very evident that the packers
are not in the business entirely for
their health.

A BUTTON OF SAFETY.

Four years ago the Portland (Ore.)
Street Railway company began the
compulsory instruction of it's motor
men and conductors in the prevention
of accidents. No new man was allowed
to run a car till he had received such
instruction. The road now carries
about twice as many passengers as It
carried four years ago, but an officer
of the company informs us that the
number Of accidents has not increased.
The ratio Of accidents to the number
of passengers, therefore, is only hall
as great. A layman would suppose
that every street car company would
surely all well-managed companies do
But in Portland another step was tax

company to address the children in
every public school. He distributed

months thereafter only one street car

Psychology calls memory recog-
nitive and preventative faculty. 1t
cognizes anew and presents anew the
things that have been formerly be-
fore the mind. Within its treasure
room, memory lays up impressions
that may, at any moment, be brought
into vivid view again. 1t is a won
derful faculty that makes the dead
past live again. We may have for
gotten that we remember. But men,
DRY makes US remember that we have

Christianity claims and uses this
woodworking faculty.
Christianity uses memory as pro-
lection. We say The burned child

cause ii remembers. II only naviga-
tors will remember the Titantic il

that goes down to the Sea in ships.
II only the Christian who has fallen
into sin will hear his Father saying
to him, "Son, remember" ii will
protect him from many a like lapse
in life. Christianity employs memo

Just as the shadows of that supreme
tragedy on Calvary were beginning

the hour were intensified TO the fol-
lowers of Jesus when they 'remem-

Christianity uses the memory of
former chaStenings TO avoid the need
of new ones. 'Son, remember"
has checked many a rising temptation
by recalling the suffering that some
former sin entailed. 1t is memory
that is invoked TO bring 10 mind the
scenes of the cross and its atoning
Sacrifice. One of Christ's tenderest
words to US is This do in remem-

Help me walk from day to day,
With its shadow DER me-"

has been haunting him the last few

the procession will start soon. In a
short time all that is mortal of political
Frank Clark will be laid away in the
dusty archives of oblivion. If ii were a
regular physical death, the verdict
would be suicide, but politically we
have not the appropriate term. Yet
Frank Clark killed himself politically.
OF that there is no doubt. He had the
opportunities. He is gifted grandly in
oratorical powers. He has had money
on his side and yet he fooled, he
played when work sat by, he procrasti,
mated, he used up his hours in Wash
ington in revelry when the cries of his
people in Florida could almost be heard
reverberating at the Capitol. He comes
home each election and the dear, dear
people are folded TO his bosom and
lulled 10 sleep with a tale that would
Startle MunchauSen. The dear, good,
kind people are long suffering and sym
pathetic. The dear, good, kind people
dered. They thought in the past seven
years that they were very fortunate TO
have so brilliant a representative. A
representative who could by his gran
eloquent and maSterful ways command
whatever the district needed. Frank
Clark soothed his dear people with
fairy tales and promises, it sounded
good and the anticipation was ravenouS,
but realization crept in and looked
around for the fulfillment of all these
promises. What did realization find?
Nothing, nothing only empty records,
and the history of Frank Clark's stay in
Congress is replete with vacuum. The
district is not in Paradise, they are mere
mortalS and patience ceased TO inhabit
their domiciles. Anger crept in and
Frank Clark will reap his reward on
May 2Sth. Inactivity, procrastination
deception, intrigue, buffoonery, all, ali
of these will fit in Characterization OF
Frank Clark's political record. And
when he is laid aside as useless he will
be a shining light to other aspirants.
He will be an example not to follow.
Others can profit by his mistakes and
so out OF evil good cometh.
