BOOK THAT HAS AN GERED BEEF TRUST REVEALS PACKINGTOWN’8 SECRETS. The story takes the reader. In the very first chapter. Into that w*»- riou* region known as "Back of tb* Yards," In Chicago, a section redolent of far-off Lithuania. A wedding feast I* In progress, a festival of singing and dancing by those who had gather ed to celebrate the union or "on* of God's gentlest creatures,” Ona Lu< kosxalte, and Jurgls Hukkua. "She stood In the doorway, shep herded by Cousin Martja, breathless from [fashing through the crowd, and. In her happiness, painful to look upon. There was a light of wonder In her eyes, and her lips trembled, and her otherwise wan little face woe flushed. She wore a muslin dress, conspicuous' ly white, and a stilt little veil coming to her shoulders. There were five pink paper roses twisted In her veil, and eleven bright green roe* leaves. There were new white cotton glove* upon her hands, and as she stood staring about her, she twisted them together feverishly. It was almost too much for her—you could see the pain of too great emotion In her face and all the tremor of her form. She was so young—not quite sixteen—and small for her age, a mere child; and she had Just been married—and mar ried to Jurgls, of all men—to Jurgls Rukkua. he with the white flower In the button hole of his new black suit; he with th* mighty shoulders and the giant hands.” Thus with simple yet beautiful word-painting, the novelist brings one Into Intimate touch with these humble folk who, hardly knowing what they do, aid the mercantile ghouls of Psck- Ingtown to poison a nation—perhaps, nations. Pictures Guaint Feast. .Tomosxlua Kusxleika Is at the wed ding feast. He Is an Inspired musi cian, although he has no rosin an hi* bow and hi* decrepit violin walls out of tune. But they sing to his mu sic. the- dance to It. and Ona alts by, smiling. Hushed, while Martja. who works In a canning factory and all day long handles cane weighing It pounds, puffs and blows In her en deavor to give th* broad-faced Lith uanians and Poles and other hard working foreigners all they can cat and drink. Antanus Rukkus, aged, and with a cough that th* fetid atmosphere of a Chicago pickle house hsa not abated. Is there. He Is the father of the bridge room. He once was a scholar, but the grind and grime of the days In Packingtown have given him no opportunity to write love tetters for th* neighbors, and all he can do now Is to make a speech and sink wearily back Into his chair. Th* story continues: "Th* compeny pairs off quickly, and th* whole room Is soon In motion. Apparently nobody knows how to waits, but that Is nothing of any con sequence. There Is music, and they dance, each a* he pleases, just as be fore they sang. Most of them prefer the two-step, especially the young, with whom It Is the fashion. The older people have dances from home, strange and complicated steps which they execute with grave solemnity. Some do not dance anything at all, but simply hold each other's bends and allow the undisciplined Joy of motion to express Itself with their feet. Among these are Jokubea Seed- vitas and hla wife. Lucljo, who to gether keep th* delicatessen store, and consume nearly as much as they sell; they are too fat to dance, but they stand In the middle of the floor, hold ing each other feet la their arms, rocking slowly .from side to-ald* and grinning seraphlcally, a picture of toothless and perspiring ecstasy. 'Thera I* Alea Jasaltyte, for In stance. who has danced unending hours with Juosae Racxlus, to whom she Is engaged.

Then there I* Jad- vyga Marrlnkus, who Is also beau tiful. but humble.” ' “I’ll Work Harder.” A trouble usual In Packingtown among the unfortunate slavers In th* factories occurs. Jurgls and his folks see the bills mounting os the food and drtnk have to be replenished, and Jurgls comforting his bride, says merely: “Don’t worry, little one. I will work herder.” Perhaps he could work harder. But the man who watched him, ns a practi cal overseer, would not believe It. The story, still dealing with the life of these people and tilth the festivity, con tinues: A* time goes on there Is a variety of drunkenness, among the young men es pecially. Some stagger about In each other's arms, whispering maudlin words; others start quarrel* upon the slightest pretext, and come to blows and have to be pulled apart. Now th* fat policeman wakens definitely, and feels of hi* club to see that It Is ready for business. He has to be prompt— for the 3-o'clock-ln-the-momlng fights, it they once get out of hand, are like a forest fire, and may mean th* whole reserves at the station. The only thing to do Is to crack every fighting head that you see. before there are so many fighting heads that you cannot crack any of them. There Is but scant account kept of cracked heads In back of the yarrjn, for men who have to track th<- beaus of animals all day seem to get Into the Story of “Home of Poisoned Meat” Aroused National Congress to Take Action. hablf, and to practice on their friend*, and even on Utelr families between time*. Thl* make* It a cause for con gratulation that by modern methods a vary few men can do ths painfully nec essary work of head-cracking for the whole of Ihe cultured world. 'There la no fight that night—per haps because Jurgls, toe. Is watchful- even more *o than the policeman. Jur gls has drunk a great deal, aa any one naturally would on an occasion when It all has to be paid for, whether It Is drunk or not; but he Is a very eleady man. and does not easily lose hi* tem per. Only once there la a light shave— and that I* the fault of Martja Her- caynska*. MarIJa has apparently con cluded about two hours ago that If tha altar In tha corner with the deity In soiled while be not the true home of the muses. It Is, at any rate, tha ntarest substitute on earth obtainable. "MarIJa Is Just fighting drunk when there come to her ears the farm about the vlUatni who have not paid that night. MarIJa goes on Ihe warpath straight off, without even the prelimi nary of a rood cursing, and when she Is pulled off It Is with the coat collars of two villains In her hand*. Fortu- natsly the policeman la dlspoaad to be reasonable, and so It Is not MarIJa who la flung out of the place.” The gentility of Jurgls* rhamrier Is palm-d. Through all ths disorder, ths | drunkenness of these people who are ground na tho filthy meat th«> mould and pack Is ground, by it system, a great machine which they do not un derstand, Jurgls stands by his little wife, who Is half fainting. They unit for a carriage. None comes. The ending of the celebration Is thus de scribed by Ihe author: ‘There Is almost no fartwell th* dancers do not notice them, and all of th* children end many of th* old folks have fallen asleep of eheer exhaustion. Dede Ananas la asleep, and so are the Bxedvllases, husband and wife, the for mer snoring In octave*. There Is Teta Klxbletn, and MarIJa, sobbing loudly: and then there Is only the silent night, with th# star* beginning to pule a lit tle In the east.
