Re- It is the first al conditions) ssaged, cleansed and] derfully devised for strength, vigor and power of recovery. New York is not very different in this respect from the) . rest of the country The average American would not drive a horse as hard as he drives himself, The laws would not per-) mit it; his own sense of humanity would not permit it. If a horse drops dead of heart failure induced by overwork there is raised a great hue and cry and the whole community is aroused. If you drop dead yourself from the same cause no- body cares anything about it. You contribute just a little to; dull death statistics and are forgotten Is it worth the strain and stress? ) Are your ambitions or indulgences worth such cost as} this? : Is your aim—wealth, position, fame, or whatever else— worth the wearing out of your health or the straining of your heartstrings until they suddenly snap? Nathan Allen, the convicted smuggler who paid $100,000 in addition to a criminal fine of $12,000 into the United States treasury the other day, is one of the heads of the leather trust. In the N. R. Allen & Sons’ tannery in Kenosha, Wis., are 2,000, employes who are paid less than $9 a week. Three years ago these workmen revolted, and among other evidences of their’ displeasure they smashed every pane of window glass at which a stone could be hurled in “the world’s greatest harness and sole leather tannery.” It appears that Allen, criminal millionaire and captain of industry, is in the same class with Wool Trust Wood in that he was “a poor boy who became rich.” Which, however, doesn’t mean anything particular in this connection except that the poor boy, grown fabulously rich, becomes intoxicated with his wealth and is therefore easier caught when he diverges from} the moral pathway. Allen is a widower. He took a woman, Helen Dwelle Field Jenkins, not his wife, on a big trip over Europe. He bought her $300,000 worth of jewels. Though some of the fellows who tan leather for Allen make their dinner on dry bread and bologna, Helen Dwelle Field Jenkins, with her sim-| pering laugh and flirty eyes, had to have the jewels. Less jewels for Helen would of course mean a warm din-| mer and a little coffee for the toilers back in Kenosha, but as} we sit at Carlsbaad listening to the splash of the cool waters in| the fountains and the soft nothings of a strange woman, why id. we bother ourselves about the sweaty foreigners back in enosha? Allen put this woman, whose beauty he would purchase for his own private property Itke a lot of beef hides, into a fine! mansion on Sheridan road, Chicago. Fifty thousand dollars’ was spent on the house and its equipment of horses, automo- biles and buttons to push for what was wanted. But in Kenosha you may visit basement holes, where fam- ilies of tannery workers drift drearily and damply through a) } mere existence, living five in a room, without butter for bread, Without carpets on the floor, pictures on the wall, or hope in the heart. When Orrison Swett Marden or any of the other comfort- able writers on success tell us the story of our great American leather magnates, they will hardly mention the Kenosha Poles and Italians in connection with Nathan Allen, convicted smug- @er and one of the heads of the leather trust to which we pay tribute whenever we buy a pair of shoes. rai ® SOMETHING AWFUL —_ me HIS OBJECTION “I hear ber jealousy Is something terrible.” “I should say {t ts.
