that of the boclo

one wlnter'H night trying to read. The
steam coll played all the discords la
the gamut. The Infernal racket turned
out by a boiler factory Is as sweet ns
a dulcimer compared to a steam coll
when II starts in to make night hide
ous. Mrs. Field is not a nervous woman,
but the steam coll that got to acting
up on the night referred to entrained
her mentality. Maybe she recalled her
midsummer night's dream. Anyway,
6he might have said to herself

One day a long time ngo Carter Har
rlson pero, then mayor of Chicago,
was trying to get from the Itookery
that was tin naino of the temporary
city hall erected after the lire to his
lunch. He was shoved nnd knocked
about Just like any ordinary citizen
He turned to his superintendent of
buildings, n typical Scot, and said:
"KIrtland, there

was before any

Tho city has kept
on growing, uud
the streets nnd

moro crowded than ever. Tho Yankee
has arrived. Ho has recommended n
subway as the ouly solution of the

more or less embryo in the scheme
But tho city engineer says It Is bound
to como the way ho has ilgured It.
nis phut will cost moro than $5,000,000
to start tho hole, but If it Is ever done
there won't bo a surface car In town.
Fcmnndo Jones, the oldest citizen in
Chicago he knew tho last Indian that
got drunk here-ls afraid that If tho
plan of the engineer is over carried
out it will make the streets of the city
look lonesome.
A whole lot pt talk and some hot air
will occur before the subway scheme
gets started, but this Is a good time to
make' the prediction .that the whole
town will be tubed bl'fore the next

There wns a tlmo when the huck
sters of the town rented the vacant
lots In Chicago aud raised cabbage,
beets aud other truck. Strangers In
the city didn't know when they were
In tho country nnd when they were In
the city. There would be n mile of
homes and then a quarter of a mile of
garden spots, then more houses nnd
then some more cabbage and beets.
That was before the city had a super-

There Is only oue other city In the

ed that ho must do something to oarn
his salary. His habitat In summer is
on the bloacliors. Ho would rather see
a ball game thiin go to a circus on a
free tlrket. While watching n gaum It
occurred to him thnt thero was not
enough of the game to go round. He
conceived the Idea of renting every
vacant lot In towu and making It a
diamond field, tho city to pay the bill
He has recommended that his concep
tion be adopted, and the city Is bolng
urged to act. It will cost about $000 a
year to rent and equip n vacant lot for
ball. But what's the odds? There has
citriu ron toe cats.
cngo Cat Fanciers' association has
raised a fund of $'200 for thnt purpose.
Before any pussy can become a bene
ficiary of the fund he or she must have
a habitat in what Is known ns the- loop
district of the cify. This district Is
the business area of the town, or, to
make It a little plainer to those who
are not familiar with the geography
of the city and who may be particular
ly Interested In the feline creation, It
Is the shopping district. It has come
to the knowledge of the lady shoppers
who aro fond of cats thnt tho rat huut
ers In t lie district have that lean, hun
gry look which was a nightmare to
Caosar, who turned dowu Casslus be
cause he had no adipose ou his slats.

of the felines disturbed the nerves of
tho bobbles, aud they mnde the fact

will bu appointed to see that the cream
Is placed where It Is needed. It Is like
ly that whan tho summer days draw
nigh aud tho mnnslons on Prairie ave
