Revelations which have come as a
surprise since the death Of j. Ogden
Armour present the spectacle of a
losing battle fought in the business
world against overpowering forces by
one whose wealth at one time was
estimated at $100. 100000. In the
midst of romances Of rapidly won for
tunes the story of the One-tlme mas
ter of the packing industry is viewed
as almost unprecedented. TO many
his failure to retain the old power is
due to his own personal character as
exhibited in the crisis of his career.
Postwar conditions resulting in de-
hation are held responsible for the
shrinkage in fortune
can old story of imperialism, with
variations" is pointed out by the Gin
cinnati Times-Star, which recalls that
mo legions of armed men carried
eagles for him into other realms. His
leg,ons were the carcasses of cattle
and hogs, with which he sought to
conquer foreign markets. They were
repulsed. And the mighty captain of
cattle and hogs was deposed. He died
disappointed man. But he had his
imperial dream, even if it was ex-
pressed not in living legions but in
dead animals With a tribute to the
vast amount of good that he accom-
plished," the Albany Evening News
makes the further statement that 'it
is said of him that when his own for
tune dWindled he bore himself brave
ly. yet his sensitive nature made re-
verses all the harder to bear"
ut has been said that his personal
fortune. once among the largest in

was swept away in order to save the
great business that bore his name
when the difficulties of the deflation
period threatened it. Whether that
is true or not. of course has not been
established. but it would be his natural
course. He was that kind of man.
He worked not for the sake of the
dollar. but for the sake of worth
while achievement. Having built MP
one of the worlds greatest businesses.
he naturally would have made n1y
character of personal sacrifice neces-
sary to save it. His name was worth

that he could have saved himself if

say if he had been less honorable.
But it would appear that he valued

SHOOTING STARS.

Post Card Land.

USt NdTu l<dUu.
In Post Card Land / like to dwell.
And with a friend enjoy the sea,
Where twilight colors deftly tell
Tales of life so far and free;
Or in the mountains near the sky,
Where products Of the richest mines
Are far surpassed. none will deny.
When dawn upon the dewdrop shines.
One moment down the lane l stray;
The next, where buildings great are
shown.
The pictured greetings every day
Have never let me feel alone.
The office room expands it's cheer
With visions of the hill or strand,
And friends all heartily draw near
My tranquil home in Post Card Land.

CHICAGO, Dec. 16 R-" "Scarface"
AL Capone, Chicago gang leader, re-
turning to Chicago after visit in Los
Angeles, stopped off in Joliet, where
the state penitentiary is located, for a
sojourn today.
A reception committee composed of
all the policemen in Joliet met Capone
at the railroad station, leaving the po-

reporter in order to augment the size
of the welcoming delegation.
Capone, who left Chicago by invita-

appeared much surprised at the atti-
tude of Joliet officials, and explained
that as he paid taxes in Chicago and
considered it his home, he felt duty
bound to continue his journey there to
play Santa Claus to numerous friends.
The police, however, all insisted that
he remain in their midst temporarily
at least, until he explained the pur-

President Puzzled at Way to Receive
Lion Cubs When He Hears of Their Size

The President today was inclined
to change his mind in this respect
and indicated that it would probably
be more practicable and convenient for
him to visit the lions at the Zoo
home, especially so since he has
learned that the cubs are older and
much larger than he expected. Be-
sides this fact, the young animals
are not in the best Of spirits since
their long ocean trip and the cage
they have been in throughout the
journey has been damaged and il
was feared that the cubs, in a mo-
ment of playfulness, might work
their way to freedom.

authorities, are splendid specimens

The President is undecided whether
1t would be entirely safe to have the

House, or whether he should go to
them at the Washington Zoo, where
they are now being cared for and
where they will be kept publicly. The
problem was solved to some extent by
the local express company, which,
upon its receipt OF the Gagged animals
yesterday, delivered them to the Zoo
without any instructions.
