Thnt was i cully nil he cnred to bo, What ho could do ho did fairly foil, but he did Just as little as wns de cently possible. At college bo had gone In u little for athletics, and made a very creditable rccoid, but he shrank from anything really brilliant. He whs a good scholar, too, but was quite willing to runk with the Intel lectual second-raters When he left college he went abroad and dawdled about in an aimless way, and tame home with few Impressions thnt he cared to mention. Then lie vent In for society, and there seemed to be reason ably contented. Soelelj nmuscd him and wasn't loo exacting Society cod dled him, he was young, handsome, clever and rich. And yet he would admit that he felt n little conscience stricken when Anna Goldle Bravely asked hhn one day about his future ho'ics There was a look in her eyes that he didn't IIU' when helaughcdoff thequery. It set him to thinking, and thinking whs an oc cupation he larclv Indulged In. Think ing always disquieted him. He avoid ed Anna Coldie for a time, and found that was still more disquieting And then Just as be was thinking he would invite another talk with her on the original disquieting subject she sud denly --nt away. She went, they told him, to visit an invalid aunt in the In terior of the state. She might be gone some time It was nunc n visit of dut. than of pleauio. and its contin uance would depend altogether upon the tailing health of the aunt. In what part of the state did Miss f!ol dle's aunt live? Somewheie near I'.il mia Pallium" That was v icre Jim Kob hlim lived. flood old Jim I5obbln. whom he hadn't een sine" his last college vear. Jim was somebodv down in Pulnijni. Member of the leglsln tuie. or something. He s iw Jim's name In the naners occasionally. Jim was a Using man. As the days wore along the deslie to visit Jim grew upon him. He bad a standing Invitation to come down at any time There was a pressing note in his desk of quite recent date in which he was told of the tieat he was missing in not making the acquaint ance of Jim's matchless w Ife and equally matchless gills. He wondered if Ilin would know the abiding place of Arna Ooldle's aunt. If he was a politician he probably knew oveiyhoiH. Ho decided to go down at one" and make Jim a visit, nnd lie wrote to him to th.u eliect. Then he went to the bank and called' on his father. And while he was thoie Ills uncle Tom came In nnd the three weie closeted for a long time In his father's private loom. When they tamo out his uncle Tom shook hands 'with him and pattefl him on the back In his usual hearty fashion. And his father shook hands with him In grav el fashion. and both the elder men seemed highly elated. Spencer shook his head a little doubtfully as he left thepi. Thep he braced up with a swift stiffening of his flngeis and clenching of his hands, and acceleiated his pace. He was going to his rooms to fill his diess suit case for the visit to Jim. He anlved at Palmyra early In the evening He had meant to teach the lo in the nfteinoon. but the train was de layed. He hadn't told Jim just what day he would stmt, and so his old friend wasn't bothering over hi non appearance. Spencer concluded he ould look Jim up In the morning. He went to the hotel nnd had his supper. After supper he strolled un to tho clerk's desk and Inquired about his ft lend "Oh. Jim Hobbins?" cried the cleik.

Oolng to send him to the state sen ate next fall. Fileiul of yours?" "Yes," said Spencer, "nn old friend. Came down to visit him." "Tell you what you do." said the clerk. "Jim Is the chairman, toast master, whatever you call It, of the big banquet at Raymond Hall tonlr.hl It's a complimentary feed given In honor of Col. .luck Speed, who Is homo for a brief lslt, and everybody, pret ty much, Is going. Col. Speed Is our congressman, you know, and he's In high favor In Palmyra. Hon. Dwlght Perkins fiom somewheie out West, one of the big national lights of the house, is to be the speaker of the oc casion, and they'll have plenty to eat and good music. Ilettor go over." A half hour later Spencer ascended the stairway of Haymond Hall. He noticed a number of Indies In the crowd that steadily marched Into the hull, and Jie was rather glad to And that the banquet wus not to be of the usual political for-nion-only chainitcr At the head of the stairs he noticed a door standing open, and looking through Into the bilghtly-lightod ante loom lie saw his old friend The Im pulse was too strong to resist and he passed In the doorway and held out Ills hend. "What's the matter with Jim l!ob blns?" he laughingly called. In an Instant his friend's hand gripped his. . "Spencer, old man. so glad to see you' ' He pushed Spencer off a llttl" and held him there. "You aie looking prime," he Mild. "And. bv rjenrgc' you are Just In time." He laughed as he spoke and looked at Spencer with such a comical expression that it In stantly recalled to the latter some amusing expeilences of the dear old school days. "What mischief ale ou up to?" he cried. "Hut. hole. I'm In the wav. Don't let me bother you. I'll see von In th morning." And he drew back and Inlf turned towards the door. "Hold on," cried Jim, with a plunge at him. "vou 'don't get away from me tonight. You sta. lisht here until I can propei ly dispose of you." Hon. Jack Speed was seated at Jim's light and Spetu er at his left, much to tho lattei's Increased uneaslnc-s Then the banquet commenced, and for an hour the clatter and chatter continued without a break. Jim was as delightful as of Mire, dividing his attention veiy equally between the guest of the even ing and Spenee-. but the hitter's hea.lt was illled with u vague dlstiust. When the clatter tlnally ceased, Jim lapped on the table and In a nice little speech told of the purpose of the ban quet. He Introduced the Mayor, who briefly welcomed back Hon. Mr. Sliced to Palmyra. Then Hon. Mr. Speed ie. sponded In a brisk speech, testifying to his delight In returning home to such friends and such a welcome, a senti ment which was gieeted with loud ap plause. Then Jim arose again, w lth i crumpled telegram In his hand. He much legretted, he said, to he obliged to announce thnt Hon. Dwight Perkins could not be with them. A telcgiani he Hist iecel'ed announced a railway accident th'.U blocked the road and held back Mr. Pet kins, CO miles uwnj ." "Our regiet, however." said Jim, "Is somewhat mitigated by the fact that we fortunately have with us as an hon ored guest one of the most prominent of New Yoik's young political and social leaders, Mr. Spencer Clifford, win will talk to us on the question of the hour." As Jim sat down a patter of applause ran round the hall and the long lines of faces assumed an expectant ex plosion. "He-member your old debating til- 415-417 Lackawanna Aye. umphs," whispered the perfidious Jim, "and sail In." Spencer gave him a horrible scowl as he rose to his feet. Then ho turned to tho auditors with a pleasant smile. He put his teeth together hard. Ho wouldn't be bluffed. And deep down In his soul he felt gratified that Jim de spite his consummate meanness had confidence In him. Jim knew ho wouldn't fluke. He would say a word or two and retire as gracefully as pos sible, When Snencer. nfter an eloquent wlndtip, finely took his seat, the ap plause was vigorous and long dinwn out, and Jim, his face Hushed and hi-) eyes sparV'ng grabbed Spencer's hand under the Mile and squeezed It haul, and said, 'tlieat, my boy. great! You ought to get down on your bended knees to me for bringing you out." When It was all over Jim mild: "Wu must get our coats and hunt up Min nie. Minnie Is Mis. Jim. She's a liitle Jealous of vou now, don't make her more so. By the way, she has a young woman from your overgrown town in tow tonight, and we'll have to" escort her to her aunt's home. Know her?

The Armour packing Industry, with Its allied Industtlcs, now undei going Incoiporatlon, ii-nresents an annual business of $100.1)00.000, an estimated wage disbursement of not less than $10,000,000 per annum, and the annual killing anil disposing of mnie than 2 nOO.OOQ cattle, sheep and hogs.

H. O. Armour, opened a pack-Ing-hoiif-e in Xew Yolk city, and a Chicago feeder to this was established by Joseph K, Aimour, another biothei. This was pi lor to ISGi.

The Umllngton load opened hug- .N.u.is in us own a mile and a half west of the city, but they weie not a suc cess. The pieheiu yauls were opened in 1SU'., nnd at that time the Aimour house was but an Infant. The health of Joseph v. Armour be Pn to fall Competitho Interests In Chicago made It Impetatlvely neies sary that the Armour business should have a strong head. It Is said that at the time theie was much discussion np to which of the brotheis now residing in Chicago should be called to take eliarge of the business. However this may be, P. D. Aimour, alieady one of the foiemost business men of Mil waukee, icmovcd to this city and tool: clutige of affairs He ietaliio.1 his valuable connections with the Plnnk lntons, Inci eased his financial hold ings In the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul load and started on that caieer which was to sle him the eventual leputntlon of being one of tho Kim test piovlsion suppliers the world has known. Two of his biothers at least kept lu close touch withMilm for years. Cieoigo Aimour was piesldent of the boaul of trade In 1875 and Joseph F. n dliector of the same body In 187.1 and 1S7I. Gem go Dole, one of the pioneer stock dealeiH of the cltv, was In the film nnd close to Its elevator Interests, which were constantly expanding. The firm not only dealt in cattle, hogs and sheep, but In nil kinds of grain us well In 1881 Anuour. I ole v Co. controlled elevutois In the city having a grain capacity of G.SJO.nOO bushels, while P, D. Armour owned the Chicago and Danville elevator, with a capacity ot 450,000 bushels. MAONITUDK OF UI'SIXL'SS. P. D. Armour, nor his two sons. Into whoso hands much of tho active con trol of the business passed In later years, has nener been Inclined to say much publicly ubout the magnitude of the business which now extends Into every civilized country In the world, nn'd which In rush seasons employ be tween 22,000 and 23,000 men, women and children, The average number of men emplojcd by the firm during late yeara has been between 12,000 and 1R.005, The pay roll for years past the nnnual dis tribution of wages has not fallen be. low $6,000,000. Kmployes. faithful to the trusts placed In their keeping, ha.v been rewarded by permanency of pos. tlon. advancement nnd Increased sal aries. It has been tlie policy of the house to encourage every employe who showed nn aptitude for his work and faithfulness to his dutv. The senior Armour never missed a detail of hl.i business, and this quality has been transmitted to J. Ogden Armour, his son. The elder knew his employes per sonally. He has icgulated them by in Informal civil set vice system which ha.' always advanced the ablest. He taught them to deal with facts as they would with dollars. To one of these emploc? he Is repotted to have said once: "When I am done with work. George remember this that I have always had great respect for facts. If there :AWa were fewei theoiists In the world there would be mote successes Facts can be discounted at any bank, but a thi or is rarely woith par. Stick to facts " They sa that as one icsult of this way of looking at business the Armour house at any moment can furnish more Information as to the visible grain and provision supply of any particular na tion In the world than the Information department of any existing government can. The ramifications of the business nio such that Its agents, scattered all over the globe, can, on telegraphic call, advise their principals of what the conditions of the Aigentlne fields are, what corn there Is in Xebrnska, bow many salable cattle on the ranges of Kansas and Texas, what hogs aie In Iowa and Minnesota, what the wJicat supply from the Russian territory w til be, whit piovlsion supplies the Kng llsh, Fiench or German armies will need, what next year's status of tho grain maikets of the woild will most probably be. SOJin STATISTICS. The big Aimour houses at the I'nlon stockyards have not legaided it as ex tiaordlii'uy to'cll?pose of S0O.O0O steeis and 1,000.000 hogs in -i single year, not taking Into account all the other food pioduclng nnlmals handled during the same period by the bi.ineh houses. A Xew York mathematician demon strated once that all the animals dis posed of In the Armour Chicago plant In a single year would. If laid out In a continuous low, leach In a straight line acioss the continent from tho At lantic to tho Pacific. The year which he used for his calculation there an aveiage of thirteen animals 'a mlnuto disposed of dm Ing all the woiklng hours. This Is the magnitude of the business built up, without taking Into account the more than .",000 ralhoad cais operated, the fifty acies of plant ground controlled, the stmago houses with a l.'O.OOO ton capacity, the six laige gialn elevators with a capacity exceeding 10,000,000 bushels, the essels on the lakes, the miles of lalhoad con cerned In the financial advance of the house.

UTILIZING WASTE. The Ai mouis, their chemists, the young men ambitious to succeed In their employ, discovered ihat the steer contained tor the gain of the commer clul woild far more than mere flesh It was not so many years after 1MB that the men of the Aimour plant be gun making suggestions that there was an enormous waste in the slaugh ter houses. Illood trickled away into tho sowers, Immense quantities of fat escaped, bones weie thrown upon a letuse heap, hides were carelessly treated, and, In a word, piotlts were given to the sewers that might well be saved for the stiong lockeis of the firm. One of the first moves made io pi event this waste was to utilize th blood of the slaughteied animals for buttons. Then came the building of d felt factory to which the talis were fnt. H'ood wus also sold to tho sugar refineries, and bones weio converto 1 Into handles and ornaments. Hoof? were caielully cheilshed, and the pro cess of saving every pait ot tho steer carried so fur that nothing escapes commercial use today but tho gastric Juice. The cjiemlsts aie experimenting upon that even now with a view to making u profit fiom It. It was In the Armour plants that the expeilmentti with all the by-products weio can led on and brought to a successful Issue, The Almoin s became glue manufac tuieis, felt dealers, button makets. horn nnd hoof traders, hud dealers, hide sellets, and so on through tho list.

There aie a good many stories afloit of the Armours that will not bear veil lleatlon; there nre Innumerable good ones that ought to be true If they are not. Most of these stoiles relate to tho lelatlons of the heads of the house with employes. It Is said of the elder Armour that he has always entertained a piejudlce against shirts made from various colored mateilals and used for summer wear. Their wear In the Ar mour otllces weio frowned upon. Plain white linen was approved. And out of this the following story: A son of nn old friend of the film was employed In tho main ofllce. Ho came to his work one moiulng In a loose, highly coloied llannel shirt. Dining the morning the eyes of tho senior member of the firm fell upon this unfortunate shirt and they glist ened. The young man was quietly called to his desk and an older handed him for half a dozen white shlits to bo seeuied ut any habei dashers. Ho took the hint and appealed In them there after. During tho stockyaids strike ot 1887 a newspaper leporter who had been stationed at the packing-houses for several days came Into tlyi city temporarily, diessed In his woiklmr clothes. Ho did not present the best nppearanco In the world, but theie was an excuse for this. His city editor pent him In haste to Interview Mr. Armour The latter looked at his soiled clothes and rumpled appearance and then re marked: "Don't you think your paper could remove to a more commodious & formerly occupied by Clemons, '. rerDer a v'mauey, no. 422 i.acKuwamiu avc. - Goo X .X .
