rious fuel that
ought to be taken
up by sonic club
or society that Is
hungry for a top
ic. Ooid brick
data is uuccrtaln,
but research
would probably
show that the
Ili3t trick In that
Hue was pulled
olt somewhere In
this vicinity.
With all of hla
propensity for
butting in on tho
three shell game or nny other chance
layout, you would uevcr expect tho
"farmer' to bite at an airship bait.
Yet that has come to pass. The farm
er blew in from Iowa. When nnybody
conies to Chicago he "blows In.'' IIo
uever arrives. The farmer in question
was here to soo the llvo stock show.
Somewhere near the Masonic temple,
which is the Flattron of tho town, the
Iowa farmer met n stranger lu the
usual way. The strnuger had a new
fangled airship that would make Zep
pelin or the Wright brothers get out
of the air. It was all done, ready to
ascend but for- one thing namely,
$1,000. The man who produced first
and on the spot would get the first rake
off on dividend duy. The Iowa mau
was so fearful thnt he would be head
ed off thut he unbuttoned his wallet on
the street and was actunlly counting
out the good equivalent when u detec
tive, Hushed the game, nabbed the air
ship architect and made him walk to
tho police station. The Iowa farmer
followed, and tho fascinating spell was
so llngeriug that the fanner was re
luctant to prosecute. When he turned
tho toes ol Ills brogans In the direction
of his home he was neither wiser nor
sadder. lie would have put up his roll
In a minute for an airless brick If he
had been tempted.
The "farmer" Is not always an
American product. By the way, the
word ought to be revised. Tho aver
age farmer of thH country Is not easily
hoodooed. Fsually he will, get the bet
of any game that Is unllmbered. The
yokel from over the sea Is always easy.
Only ttui days ago one of this brand
direct from Alsace-Lorraine put In
here. In his mcauderliiTs he saw a
bronze Hon on the lake front, one of
the ornamental figures of that part of
town. The accommodating stranger
was at hand, ns usual, and before any
warning could be turned In the yokel
had bought the Hon aud the pedestal,
paying therefor $00. IIo never knew
the bait was loaded until lie returned
to the spot on the following day with
a two horse wagon and a block and
tackle to remove his purchase.

jtrobnbly have dropped a letter into
tho receptacle. Somebody did It first
ii.niewhere. And the thing has been
epeated in all lands where the box Is
known until It was thought Uiat tho
guffaw following the rustic break had
penetrated every home in America.
Nevertheless a good old man and his
wife drove in a few days ago from
Rvaustou, that classic suburb where
the very ntiuosphefe is academic, and
the old mau tied his team to a lamp
post, after which lie walked to the
nearest fire alarm box nnd "mailed"
hla letter. Before he could put on his
mlt he and his motherly better half
caw tho fire engine dash round the;
corner. The old people were taken to
the police station, but tho magistrate
released them, remarking that as long
m the city left Its fire boxes exposed
tlieso mistakes would happen.
One man In this city has helped 800,
D00 men and women to marry. lie Is
the Hceu.se clerk of the municipality.
His name Is Morris Salmonsou. He
has Just completed his twenty-slxtu
year of service, fc'our hundred thou
and marriage licences have been sign
ed by him since bin commission was
Issued. Many citizens who are now
classified ns "old settlers" went the
matrimonial way on the paper signed
by Saliuonson. And now ho is making
out licenses for the second generation.
Tho day on which he finished hts
twenty-Flxth nunlvcrsary it was, sug
Rested by a wag of the town that as
ninny clerks who have attended to the
banding ouf of divorce decrees get to
gether and tenrtor Rnlmonson a ban
quet Tho old license ofllclnl refused
to Kit down ut such a feast, on tho
ground, ns he said, that few ot those
who had been wd on hla paper had
ever been nountatrd by nny court but
death. Tub banner year lu his busi
ness was 1007. In the yeur 1D0S there
was a noticeable decrcaso In the num
ber of licenses, owing to tho panic.
In this age, when the practical gets
the best front seats and the Hcntl
mental has to take to tho gallery or
cool Its heels on the sidewalk, It la
delicious to hear a real old time love
storj. Well, here It Is; Ten years
ago, after the bolls In old Cologuo
had quit ringing for the close of day,
a German girl emtio out on the stago
of a music hall njid played her violin
to a critical au
dience. One of
those who
heard her was a
Chicago bay who
was visiting that
old country with
his people. The
youth returned
home, and in the
course of things
h c established
himself In busi
ness. Two years
ago tho girl came
here to sec this
part ot the great
couutry. There
was a mustcalc
one evening in a
little hall, and
tho German girl
played as those
who know her the onnitAN omr
say she only can. Ono of the listeners
was tho Chicago boy who had heard
her In old Cologne. After the concert
he reuewed the acquaintance and eh
bleu you know the rest. They are on
their treacle-moon Journey now in the
far west, aud. ns she la Btill fond ot
her vlollu nnd ns her husband is very
proud ot her musical accomplishments,
she Is giving concerts as they travel.

Now Is the winter of the Chicago

aro swallowed up by gorgeous bou

might have carried. According to tho i
fashion writer, the bouquet was a ,

pnper frill of colonial times. Tho news
traveled, aud now thero is a crush at
the florists' places to have posy bou
quets like grandma's made up. They

now, and when you leavo tho question

bus been held often by men of presi
dential size, among them Sherman,
Blaine, Hay, Olney, Hoot and Seward,
Lincoln's, secretary of foreign affairs,
not to mention Thomas Jefferson, who
occupied the post under Washington.
Judge Taft gave unusual thought to
the selection of an Incumbent of the
post of secretary of state not only be
cause ho wanted In it a gocd forclgu
affairs secretary, but also becauso he
desired that tho head of his cabinet
should be a man capable of advising
him on matters outside of that depart
ment calling for serious consideration.

of President McICIuley and President
Roosevelt, Mr. Knox became famous ns
