There Is no’ dry, stilted chapter In
this remarkable work. In IU writing,
Mr. Sinclair avoided making It a
mere catalogue. He clothed hts facts
—and they were proved to be facts
by Investigators engaged by the pub
lishers—In a garb that attracts. Yet
not once does he deviate from his
course.
He reaches his gogl—the lucid. In
teresting exposure of the men who are
today buying palaces and every com
fort of life with the mpney they obtain
from both rich and prior who buy their
pernicious products. He tells how
and tells It vividly—the packed em
ploy the maxim—
"There’s no meat too bad to use!”
To the mind of a man who Is not
cognisant of the tremendous crime be
ing committed against human decency
by these houses, '*The Jungle" will
prove a fascinating web ofr romance
and fact.
BOOK THAT HAS AN
GERED BEEF TRUST REVEALS
PACKINGTOWN'S SECRETS.
The story takes the reader, in the
very first chapter. Into that myste
rious region known as "Back of the
Yards,” In f'hlcago. a rectlon redolent
of far-off Lithuania. A wedding feast
Is In progress, a festival of singing
and dancing by those who had gather
ed to celebrate the union of "one
of God's gentlest creatures," Ona Lu-
kossaite, and Jurgls Rukkus.
"She stood In the doorway, shep
herded by Cousin Marija, breathless
from pushing through the crowd, and.
In her happiness, painful to look upon.
There was a light of wonder In her
eyes, and her Ups trembled, and her
otherwise wan little face was flushed.
She wore a muslin dress, conspicuous
ly white, and a stiff little veil coming
to 'her shoulders. There were five
pink paper roses twisted In her veil,
and eleven bright green rose leaves.
There were new white cotton gloves
upon her hands, and as she stood
staring about her, she twisted them
together feverishly. It was almost
too much for her—you 1 could sac 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
Rukkus. he with the white flower In
the button hole of his new black
suit; he with the 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 Pack
ingtown to poison a nation—perhaps,
nations.
Pictures Quaint Feast.
Tomoszfus KussfeUta Is at the wed
ding feast. He is an Inspired musi
cian, although he has no rosin on
his bow and his decrepit violin walls
out of tune. But they sing to his mu
sic, Ihe" dance to It. and Ona sits by,
smiling, flushed, while Marija. who
works In a canning factory and all
day tong bandies cans weighing It
pounds, puffs and blows In her en
deavor to give the broad-faced Lith
uanians and Poles and other hard
working foreigners all they can eat
and drink.
Antanus Rukkus, aged, and with a
cough that the fetid atmosphere of a
Chicago pickle house has not abated,
Is there. He Is the father of the
brldgeroom. He once was a scholar,
but the grind and grime of the days
In Packingtown have given him no
opportunity to write love letters for
the neighbors, and all ha can do now
Is to make a speech and sink wearily
back Into his chslf.
The story continues:
"The company pairs off quickly, and
the 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 as he pleases. Just as be
fore they sang. Most of them prefer
the two-step, especially the young,
with whom It Is the raahlon. The
older people have dances from home,
strange and complicated steps which
they execute with grave solemnity.
Borne do not dance anything at all,
but simply hold each other’s hands
and allow the undisciplined Joy of
motion to express Itself with their
feet. Among these are Jokubas fixed-
vllas and his wife. Luclja, who to
gether keep the delicatessen store, and

they are too fat to dance, but they

rocking slowly from side to side and
grinning seraphlcally. a picture of
toothless and perspiring ecstacy.
"There Is Alea Jasaltyte, for In
stance, who has danced unending hours
with Juoxos Racslus, to whom she
Is engaged. Alea Is the beauty of
the evening, and she would be really
beautiful If she were not so proud.
She wears a white shirt waist, which
represents, perhaps, half a week's la
bor painting cans. She holds her skirt
with her hand as she dances with
stately precision, after the manner of
the grandes dames. Juntas Is driving
one of Durham's wagons, and la mak
ing big wages. He affects a "tough"
aspect, wearing his hat on one side
and keeping s cigarette In his mouth
all the evening. Then there Is Jad-
vyga Marcinkus, who la also beau
tiful, but humble."
“I'll Work Harder."
A trouble usual In Packingtown
among tho unfortunate slavers In the
factories occurs. Jurgls and his folks
see the bills mounting as the food and
drink have to be replenished, and
Jurgls comforting his bride, says
merely:
“Don't worry, little one. I will work
harder.”
Perhaps he could work harder. But
the man who watched him, as a practi
cal overseer, would not believe It. The
store, still dealing with the life of these
people and with the festivity, con
tinues:
As time goes on there Is a variety of
drunkenness, among the young men es
pecially. Home stagger about In each
other’s arms, whispering maudlin
words; others start quarrels upon the
slightest pretext, and come to blows
and have to be polled apart. Now the
fat policeman wakens definitely, and
feels of his club to see that It Is ready
for business. He has to be prompt—
for the 2-o’ctock-ln-the-mornlng fights.
If they once get out of hand, are like
a torrmt tire, and may mean tbs 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.

cracked heads In back of the yar>/i.

and even on Uielr families between

gratulation that by modern methoda a
vary few men can do the painfully nec
essary work of liead-cracklng for the
whole of the cultured world.
"There Is no fight that night—per.

naturally would on an occasion when
It all has to be paid for, whether I* Is

man, and does not easily lose his tem
per. only once there Is a tight shave—
and that Is the fault of Marija Bar-
rsynakaa. Marija has apparently con
cluded about two hours ago that If the
altar In the corner with the deity in
soiled white be not tha true homo of
the muses. It Is, at any rate, tha nearest
substitute on earth obtainable.
"Marija Is Just fighting drtrnk whan

The gentility of Jurgte’ character la
palmed. Through all tbf disorder, Uu

wife, who Is half fainting. They wait
for a carriage. None comes. The
ending of the celebration Is thus de

and then there Is only the silent night,
