The name of Cudahy has followed the
flag, and then run along ahead for way.
Every nation knows the products of the
Industry and uses Its food and by-products.
In tha United Slates alone this com
pany has 140 branch houses, reaching the
customers In every locality. Then Cudahy
representatives are scattered all over the
globe, from the plains of Thibet. Even the
savages up above the Arctic circle know
tli. Cudahy brand, for wherever the white
man goes he Is accompanied by th. prod
uct of the country.
The Cudahy Packing company started
operation of a plant at South Omaha Id
November of 1MT7. That was In tha early
days of the South Omaha Stock yards,
but a year before the South Omaha Union
Stock yards had been established. The
few months that had Intervened were suf
ficient to shew that the cattle were com
ing here. The packers naturally came, too.
The interdependent relations of supply and
demand worked out the makings of the
great market and the great packing center.
From this beginning back there In US7,
JUt a trifle over two decades, the Cudahy
company has reached the third In mag
nitude among the packing concerns of the
world.
The slaughtering at the several plants of
this company reached soma enormous
totals. Mere are the figures on the total

How many acres of corn and grass does
that much meat represent? The question
would be a hard one to answer. It means
food for many thousands of people, at any

In New York last week about loon per
sons, men and women, were pretending to
nearly l.OOO.Ono more persons to be some
body other than themselves. In the var
ious theaters. In drama, musical comedy,
vaudeville and burlesque every week dur
ing the theatrical season there are fully
this many actors working. A look into en
gagement agencies any bright afternoon
Would indicate that twice aa many more
were not working.
Of all the 2.000 people appearing on the
Stage In New Tork. there in compara
tively few old folks. Perhapa the aver
age age of the women can be put at 20
and of the men at X. There will always
be a demand for young actors and a de
creasing demand for old ones. What be
comes of the majority for whom there la
no place on the stage Is almost as much
of a mystery as what beeomea of all the
pins, or of Sam Weller s post boys and
donkeys. A few save money and retire, a
few go Into other business and succeed,
a few marry and retire permanently from
the stage, a few succumb, before reaching
the retiring age, to the effects of hard
work and bad food. The very small num
ber at the Actors' Fund Home on ftaten
Island, or at the Edwin Forrest Home, in
Pennsylvania, nerd not be considered. They
are definitely provided for. But ther" must
be hundred, if not thousands of former
actors In New Tork. past their stag, use
fulness, who are unaccounted for.
Scarcely a week passes but that thai
play brokers receive visits from th. widow
of some, one-time popular actor, who has
left no estate except the manuscript! and
rights to playa now worthless.
These manuscripts are all they have left
to sell, and they ar unsalable. On. wo
man, the widow of a once famous come
dian, who left no asset other than his
name, has managed to make a living for
years by selling cold cream and other
cosmetics. Now and then, at very rar.
Intervals, some one arranges a benefit for
her. and she is able to take a brief rest
from her labors.
The average man In th. audienc. la to
be excused for not considering what th.
actors in front of him ars working for.
Stage life seems to hold so much glamour,
so many allurements, that It la hard for
an outsider to realize the struggle the life
entails. Most actors earn all they get.
Their hardest work comes when they ar.
not working, but trying to find something
to do. The bank clerk who finds It hard
to persuade his superior to give him an
advance la salary might consider toe ac
tor, who haa to persuade a good many
thousand people of his value before he
can expect an Increase In pay. It ought ta
help to keep him cheerful. New . York
