FORECAST OF THE BOOK THAT STARTLED THE NATION

m a manner that grips the attention

Through Mr. Sinclair's powerful por-

There Is no dry, stilted chapter In
this remarkable work. In Its writing.
Mr. Sinclair avoided making It a
mere catalogue. He clothed his facts
—and they were proved to be facts
by Investigators engaged by the pub

not once does he deviate from his

He reaches his goal—the lucid. In

from both rich and poor who buy their
pernicious products. He tells how—
and tells It vividly—the packers em

To the mind of a man who Is not
cognisant of the tremendous crime be
ing committed against human decency
by these house*. 'The Jungle will
prove a fascinating web of romance
and fact.
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. Alea Is th* beauty of
the evening, and she would be really
beautiful If she wer* not so proud.

bor painting cans. She holds her skirt
with her hand as sh* dance* with
stately precision, after th* manner of
the grande* dames. Juosas la driving

aspect, wearing his hat on un* aide
and keeping a cigarette in his mouth
all the evening. 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

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
