The Chicago packing Industry.
upon which the civilized world
and some parts not 30 civilized
depends for its meat, is eighty
eight years old. II was in 1892.
while Chicago was sti'l a strag-
CLING, miserable village, that
George w. Dole went over TO the
settlements along the Wabash river
and came back with 500 head Of
cattle, purchased at 81 20 a hundred
pounds, and 800 hogs for which lie
paid 80 a hundred pounds.
George was an enterprislng ciii-
zen. For his slaughter house he
erected what is declared to have
been the first frame building in
Chicago. There he reduced his cat
tie and hogs TO beef and pork and
stored the meat In bulk through
the winter. He had no barrels, but
before spring he had had enough
made to take care OF his product,
which he shipped to Detroit.
That was the beginning OF the In
dustry that was to lead al the rest
in spreading Chicago's fame around
the world.

Is Marriage a Success?
THE WOMAN IS
TO BLAME.

From by observation OF married
life. much as / dislike to say 1t, the
woman is to blame, or seems to be,
for the general satisfaction of mar
ried couples. often the woman her
self. is dissatisfied with life only
pettiness.
For one thing, she can stay up late
at night attending a dance or
show, but when it comes to being
up and preparing a nice hot break
fast for her husband that is diff
ferent thing. Matters go on for
awhile, and the first thing you know
the husband is going to restaurant
for his breakfast of hot cakes and
coffee, and the wife is taking ad-
vantage of his good nature 10 be-
come lazy. Now, if she were
business woman, she would be at
work, whether tire or not tired.
Then why not be on the job the
same 'yay in housekeeping, If she
has chosen that in place OF busi-
ness? Housekeeping is snap,
anyway, I think. A woman gets
many rest during the day. while
in business she could not. The same
thing holds true with dinner; what
man likes to return home in the
evening and see an unset table, pos
sibly find the wife not at home at
all. If we boarders do not like to
be treated that way | doubt If
man does. when he provides money
for the home, as well as provisions
for the table. x. y. II.

HIS EXPERIENCE
IS HE STUNGf

Like many others, the writer.
years ago, was under the impress
sion that marriages were made IN
Heaven, but since coming to WASH
ington and getting married, my
mind has been thrown into reverse
with a dull sickening thud. The
women and girls of Washington are
fairly representative of the country
in general, in view of the fact that
practically every state in the Union
has contributed it's quota OF war
workers l married one OF them
and the only real peace OF mind |
have had since then was one year
spent in the \. r. J..
The writer does not entirely agree
with a. c. Victim in his TRADE
against the fair sex, but | viii ad-
NIT that his article contained few
good points. His bitterness was I'M
doubtedly caused by the fact that
he married a woman who, in tho old
days, would have been n candidate
for the duclsing stool. The Pilgrim
Fathers enforced few good laws,
and the old ducking stool was one
of their best bets.
Nine out of ten men who have
been shared into the meshes OF the
break loose or they would only ad-
NIT the TRUTH. The tenth man Is
either reconciled to his fate. or is
too thick to realize the fact that his
nose and the grindstone are to be
close acquaintances for the rest OF
his life.
Why are women SO anxious to
get married? The answer is easy.
SO that they can turn over n flock
of unpaid bills to the newly
acquired hubby Most OF them are
hopelessly in debt and marriage
is good way of getting some
"boobs to pay their bills. They are
also tired of working. II Is true
that n good many of them return
to work Immediately after the
wedding ceremony, but this is not
done because they are desirous of

SHE W ANTS
ADVICE.

My letter to the readers of this
section is plea for advice.
Two years ago, when / first ar
rived in this city I met soldier
boy, true, clean gentleman. 1t
was a case OF love at first sight
almost for both of US. When he
left the city, ] had promised to be
his wife when nc could get his
old job back, in n distant city,
that il his home. lie did not get
his job back at once, as n man
that stayed at home from the
army had It. When nc did get
work the salary is not much more
than mere living for him there.
while my salary Is only that here
for me. The question I have tried
in vain to solve is what can we
do in the present II. G. l.. Our
love for each other grows stronger,
but each year makes the agony
OF parting seem greater. I love
him so much that care little for
the comforts OF life without him
and he cares for me too much TO
Insist on my sharing his salary
until II is larger when he can
give me a homo. Each OF US are
twenty-threc. Will some reader
who knows what real, true, gem
uine. old-fashioned love Is tell mo
possible solution to the case?
Is marriage success? II IL, I
say n there's love there.
HAPPY CAUSE IN LOVE.
