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 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 fast In their arms. 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. There Is but scant account kept of cracked heads In back of the yar>/i. for men who have to crack the heads of animals all day seem to get Into the Story of “Home of Poisoned Meat” Aroused National Congress to Take Action. habit, and to practice on their friends, and even on Uielr families between times. This makes It a causa for con 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. hyps because Jurgls, too, la watchful- even mors so than the policeman. Jur- gls has drunk a great deal, as any one naturally would on an occasion when It all has to be paid for, whether I* Is drunk or not; but he is a very steady 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 there corns to her ears tha facta about the villains who have not paid that night. Marija goes on the warpath straight off. without even tha prelimi nary of n good cursing, and when she la pulled off It la with the coat collars of two villains In her hands. Fortu nately tha policeman la disposed lo be reasonable, and so It Is not Marija who la flung out of tha place." The gentility of Jurgte’ character la palmed. Through all tbf disorder, Uu drunkenness of these people who are ground as the filthy meet they mould and pack la ground, by a system, .i great machine which they do not un derstand, Jurgls stands by his little wife, who Is half fainting. They wait for a carriage. None comes. The ending of the celebration Is thus de scribed by the euthor: "There Is almost no farewell—the dancers da not notice than), and all of Ihe children end many of the old folks have fallen asleep of sheer exhaustion Dede Ananas Is asleep* and so are the ■ssdvllasss, husband and wife, tbitaf mer snoring In octaves. There Is Tet* Klsbleta. and Marija, sobbing loudly; and then there Is only the silent night, with tho stars beginning to pals a lit tle In the east. Jurgls, without a word, lifts One In hts arms and strides out with her. and she sinks her bead upon his shoulder with a moan. When he reaches home he Is not sure whether she has fainted or Is asleep, but when he has to hold her with one hand while he unlocks tha door he -■ei that she has opened her eyes. '"You shall not go to Brown's to day, little one," he whispers as he cllmh.i the stairs; ami she . at,-has his arm In terror, gusplnv No: No! I dare not!
