lihoods. The plants form a vast food
mill, through which pass ANNUALLY
more than %56,OO0,000 beeves, calves
hogs, sheep and lambs, goats and
kids. AS an illustration OF what this
vast drove OF animals means, it has
been estimated that they weigh on
the hoof more than all the people in
the United States would weigh with
their clothes on. Divided equally
among every man, woman and chic
in the nation each would have 1853
pounds Of live food material, not to
mention the soap-oiis, glue, fertilizers
and leather coming in the form OF
'by-products. The greatest center or
the industry is still at the stockyards
in Chicago, which were opened 4S
years ago. Here more animals are
converted into meat in a day than
were slaughtered in a year in the old
time abattoirs prior to the Civil war.
1t requires daily more than %, 900 cat,

lForty-nine years ago today the frs:
chartered Union stockyard in Chicag go
was formally opened for business
1t marked the dawn of a new epoc.,
in the feeding Of the nation. The
Pilgrims were the first meat packers
records showing that a colonial butch
err Of Salem, Mass, had packed a
quantity OF pork as early as 1910.
Meat packing as an industry did not,
however, begin until 1918, when Els:
Mills established a small packing
plant in Cincinnati. Soon all the large
centers of population had their pack
ing plants and abattoirs, to which
stock raisers within a neighborhood
of hundreds of miles drove their stock
for sale at the average rate of 10
miles a day. Frequently the drover
arrived only to find the market glut-
ted and prices at a level which either
spelled ruin for him or Nthe neces.
slty of leasing a large pasture in the
leighborhood on which to feed his
animals until the market was more
favorable. Trading was based largely
on credit. The coming of railroads
helped to solve the problem of trans
portation, and as those roads that
tapped the stock country of the west
conferred in Chicago that city and the
state of Illinois became the greatest
center of the meat pacging industry.
The stockyards buyers paid cash for
stock. The discovery Of the chilled
meat process and the coming of the
refrigerator car and steamship made
the meat packing industry n Of the
greatest in the country.

James Gordon Bennett

Tn illness of James Gordon Bennett Invites attention to one of the mos striking characters in journalism, foi not only has the New York Herald's editor aimed to establish an unique characteristic in newspaperdom, but his efforts have redounded in immense benefit to the world and humanity at large.
 Up to the time of his appearance in the arena it had been the accepted principle of journalism that men want news, that newspapers must supply that want and that material for such supplying must be gathered by band of men devoted to the work in ques- tion.
 But Mr. Bennett reduced the theory to it's final analysis and decided that when news was absent it was the pre- rogative and the obligation of his newspaper to manufacture it. This re- suited in the fitting out of the relief 5. expedition under Stanley for the aid of Livingstone. In other words, he sent into Africa to make news. Next came the Jeanette expedition to the north pole that ended so disastrously; but it was news. Following this was the establishing of soup houses for the poor of New York, the organiza- tion of system for storm warnings to transatlantic steamers and the es- tablishing of commercial cable to Europe. He also raised a sum of s400,000, of which he personally con tributed S100,000 for the famine stricken poor of Ireland.
 Among Bennett's peculiarities may be noted his self-imposed expatria- tion, he having lived 35 years abroad, and his refusal to per init his papers to affiliate with any political party, a position which renders the editorial page often colorless. This conservative character he desires to have perpetuated in his organization after his death.

A Foolish Suffragist

One recognizes the futility, if not folly, of a joust with the suffragettes, and yet the recent argument advanced by Mrs. Gilman, leader of the New York. phalanxes, is so replete with ab- surdity and so lacking in anything ap- preaching logic, that it deserves a passing comment. This lady observes, and with an evident sense of impos- sibility of reply to her question, "The home doesn't fall to the ground when the man goes out to work; why should it when the woman goes out ?"
 It may be that Mrs. Gilman infers that when the woman goes out the man is to remain at home and take her place, for upon no other hypoth- csis can it be assumed that a creature accredited with normal intelligence would ask such question.
 Her logic is tantamount to the prop osition that as a man with one leg only can manage to hobble around, a man with both legs gone can hobble just as successfully.
 The home has two props-the man who goes out and provides for it's maintenance and the woman who re- mains at home and attends to its domestic requirements. While the man is away and the wife at home, it does not fall, but when the man and the woman both are away no prop is left for it's support. This hardly requires serious argument and to accept Mrs. Gilman in any sense of seriousness it must be assumed that she infers the woman ard man will exchange places.
 Nature has fitted man by his su- porior strength to look after the main- tenance of the home and that same nsture has expressly fitted woman to conserve the domestic duties of the home. Either Mrs. Gilman is asking reversal of natures provisioning or shc is not to be taken seriously.

GREAT TRIALS OF HISTORY
TRIAL OF WENTWORTH, EARL OF srRAfroRD

accusations against him of illegal acts
 while governor, and for the Scots com | missioners who charged him with inten-
 tions of transporting his Irish army to l Scotland for it's subjection and plunder | Aside from the charges by the Irish and Scotch witnesses, a number of minor acts
 Were held against him, of which no one ] of itself could be called treason One doc- | ument was produced purporting to be a note delivered by the council board to | the effect that, as the King had exhausted 1 all ordinary means of bringing his sub-
 Jects to their obedience, his majesty was not justified in employing his Irish forces for reducing Scotland to obedience AS the trial proceeded the weakness and vague nature of the charges became daily more apparent, while the dignity,
 moderation, and ability with which Straf- ford conducted his defense was evidently producing a strong influence in his favor
 among the majority of the peers When
 the managers of the commons noticed this they abandoned the impea chment idea and | resolved to proceed against Strafford by | bill of attainder.
 Though the Kings friends did their best to stem the torrent of public feeling. if proved too strong for their efforts ana
 within fortnight the bill of attainder
 was passed by the commons. Meanwhile the lords continued their trial, and Straf ford concluded his defense by pathetic
 and noble appeal to the sense of justice
 of his judges.
 Charles informed the two houses of
 Parliament that had they condemned Strafford on fair proof, he would have l allowed the law to take it's course: but as he himself knew the falsehood of the
 evidence he could not give the royal as-
 sent to the attainder. The bill was passed
 by the lords by a majority of 22 to IS. With tears and lamentations Charles signed the warrant; and if proof were wanting of the distraction of his mind by the interior conflict he had endured. he now took the truly hopeless step of sending the young Prince of Wales to theN House of Lords with d letter en- treating that both houses would consent to the sentence of death against StraffosA being changed. to one of life imprison- ment.
 This petition was treated with scorn.
 and even reprieve for few days re-
 fused. The next morning the Earl of Strafford was conducted to the scaffold on Tower Hill. He made brif speech
 in which he said that it was some satis- faction to him to know that the King
 did not think he deserved to die

Mother Earth's Secret

Almost upon every scientific dis covery this old world leaps into "Ann's" shoes and the public becomes engaged in the effort to ascertain tis age. A more recent acquaintance with the properties of radium has again started the query, but the answers furnished constitute such variance of figures that little credence and less satisfaction are to be derived there from
 Among the older methods resorted to for arriving at the age of the earth was that based upon physical phe- nomena presented by the washing of soil into the sea and the measuring of the river deposits. A measurement of such alluvial beds has furnished the calculation of 100000, ,00O years as the erath's age, but it is impossible to know whether the annual denuda- tion and deposit have been uniform 70 that the calculation is worthless.
 The saltiness of the sea has been employed as another method based upon the assumption that the ocean was originally fresh and received it's saline quality from the land wash ings through the rivers. The quantity of salt in the sea is accurately known and the annual addition from the rivers can be tolerably well approxi- mated. If the assumption is correct it might command some degree of re- liance, but calculations predicated thereon differ vastly. Professor Joly, under this method, has concluded that the world can score 95,000,000 years, while Professor Romer, under the same method, accredits it with 16O,- 000, 900 years. Now that the speed of disintegration manifested by radioac- tive matter is known this process has
