town, nor to analyze it: merely to glvo
you sonic street car anil conversational
Impressions. Every letter about Chicago
1 have read started otT with something
to tho effect that all thu people there nro
in a hurry all tho time, and this letter
need not be any exception to tho rule.
I went into tho ofllco of an old friend of
mino, a broker on tho board of trade,
and found him nnd his partner eating
sandwiches and pio while watching tho
ticker that was clicking out the quota
tions. "Too busy to go out to lunch,
you see. George, wire Mr. Smithers for
more margins on that deal of bis. When
did you get Inr Yes, wire Jones that

yon were here? How are your folks?
Como in and see mo when you can. Yes,
I'm awfully busy now with wheat jump
ing around at a lively rate."
In the ofllco of one of tho biggeit
operators on 'change a millionaire 1
saw a queer spectacle Tho operator
was in Ills office, sitting in an impro
vised barlier's chair, being shaved. Near
by was a young woman stenographer
taking down her employer's dictation.
It was funny to see tho man dictate let
ters and telegrams while the razor was
playing about his fat face. "You see,"
explained one of tho clerks whom 1
knew, "he's too busy to go out to a bat
her shop, and so he sends for the barber
to come to tho ofllco. Tho barber gets
fifty cents for a shave and twenty-five
cents extra if ho keeps tho lather out of
the boss' mouth while he is dictating.
Chicago people are busy, and general
ly in a hurry, but they find time to dine.
I think they are tho greatest diners in
tho world. In no other city have a seen
so many palatial restaurants, and tho
town is literally full of big clubs, each
with a largo cafe. I was in tho office of
a lawyer, waiting for him to finish somo
pressing work, and when that was dotio
we were going out to u dinner. Tho
dinner was to bo nt 7, and it was then
G:30. My dress suit was at a hotel but a
nil live cent cigars at that How much
of the unpopularity of tho cigarette in
due to Mr. V D. Armour "Undo Phil"
I don't know, but probably a good
i deal of It. As I entered Mr, Armour's
office to pay my respects to tho "IMnco
of Pork" I saw two young men from
New York pause aghast before n phi-
card in the anteroom "Leavo your
' cigarettes here." Mr. Armour hates a
i cigarette as hu docs n liar.
I The saloon Is a great institution in
Chicago. They have hero, thoy tell me,
something like ft.OOO saloons, ami thoy
j expect to have SJ.000 more by tho tlmo
thu World's fair opens. Thu Chicago
saloon is a gorgeous affair. They show
jou olio on Clark street which is said
to contain the finest frescoing In Amer
ica Another, on Washington street,
is a poem in onyx and marblo. Chlcngo
people are proud of thelrsalooiiH. Charles
Lederer, the well known nrtlst, told mo
a story of a North Sldo neighbor of his, a
pastor, who had a country clergyman In
tow, showing hint tho sights of tho town.
As both were very devout men and ear
nest Prohibitionists, thu visitor from tho
country was much astonished when his
host stopiied him in front of a wiuu and
whisky shop nnd proudly exclaimed:
".lust tako a look insido there, and seo
If you don't think that gieat. This is
ouu of our llnvst drinking places, and
men who havo traveled say it is ono of
the finest In tho world."
1 A feature of Chicago which I don't
like Is the remnant of ruralismouu sees
on thu streets in tho shape of horses and
buggies. As soon as a Chicago man be
gin to feel himself somebody and thin
is when he makes a snug little sum of
money ho buys, not a carriage, but a
buggy and a horse. With this he drives
down town in the morning, just like a
countryman going to tho village. Ho Is
too proud to keep a coachman, so he
drives himself. It is considered snol
blsli to keep a coachman in Chicago tin
1 less you are very wealthy. What does
he do with the horse and buggy during

away on the West Side dre and re

By dint ot extra haste I managed to
dress and reach tho club at Mmrii ?. My
friend was there betore me. having

nPkeil him how he had managed it.
'Easily enough.' lie replied "I keep
two drusd suits, one nt homo nnd one at

and ho bus been trained to have every
thing ready for me to slip into. Wo aro
eo busy in Chicago that wo have to con
trive in every way possible to savo time."
Ono ol the queer things about Chicago
Ib the sudden changes in wealth and so
cial 6tatiou going on till the time.
'What has become of George S '(" '
1 asked one of our mutual friends. "Tho
last 1 knew of him he was getting twen-.
ty dollars n week on Tho Tribune, and
afraid of being filed."
"He wns tired, and a good thing for
him it turned out to bo. Ho got Into
real estato, simply as a broker looking
up snap for other people, and now ho is
worth f 10.000, and getting rich rapidly."
"And how is W getting along?" 1
inquired concerning another old friend.
"The last time I saw him ho told mu of
a steam yacht ho was about to buy up
at Lake Geneva."
"Oh, W isn't buying steam yachts
now He lost three hundred thousand
on wheat in a week, and is now a clerk
in a coinmiss'ioii house.'
One thing I like about tho people of
Chicago is their aversion to ctgarutten.
Von see very few men smoking ciga

tho day. you ask. That's tho worst of
it. He ties tho animal to tho curb in
front of his ofllco or storo, nnd at noon
goes out and feeds tho horso out of n bag
or box on tho sidewalk.
One thing tho men don't do here is to
wear negligee suits in summer. Tho first
day 1 was hero it was hot, and so I went
out on tho street in a white flannel out
fit, with a pair of red shoes and a sash
as broad, though not as long, us the ono
Speaker Reed used to wear. The news
boys and tho bootblacks pointed tho fin
ger of scorn at me, men and women
mopped on the street, hurried though
they were, to tnko n good look at mo.
Two hours of this was all 1 could stand.
The only satisfaction 1 got out of it was
I the consciousness of being comfortably
dressea on n hot day.
I Next morning I put on another sum
mer suit, more in Chicago's style, 1
thouirht. and an outing shiit. it was as
j nice and cool as anything could be.
Imagine my surprise on going out on the
' street to see half tho men wearing over-
coats ami some ot the women with seal
skin capes over their shoulders! Chicago
i had had one of her numerous and sudden
changes of weather. I nearly froze to
death before noon, and expected to havo
to wade snowdrifts iu getting back to
the hotel But. luckily for me, 1 did

And how about the World's fair?" I
asked one of the solid citizens.
Oli. that' all right. We have had a
deuce of a time over it. Yon ought to
have been in eome of the meetings of the
directors and heard the big men cuio
each other and quari el and threaten to
ruin the fair if they could not have their
own way It was positively shocking.
A stranger would have mid the whole
thing would break up in a row But tho
men who iiuiureled ami cursed one an

well a the rest of us that they
couldn't stop the fair: that nothing could
stop it There is sublime confidence
lieiein Chicago genius. Chicago pluck.

congress does or doesn't do, we know we
have said we were going to have the
greatest lair the world ever saw. and
every man of us believes wo will keep
our wont We may quartet and curse

simply our way. Wo get there just tho
