Chicago's Centennial Cele

The Chidago & North-Western R'y
announces that much interest is be
ing evidenced throughout the west in
Chicago's celebration of the 100th an
niversary of that city's settlement in
1803. The celebration will take place
from September 26th to October 1st
next , with a program that includes a
series of commemorative events that
possess many special features of int
erest. A great naval display will be
a part of the program , together with
regattas and the spectacular [ arrival
in canoes , by way of the lake , of 400
Indians , the descendents of tribes
formerly occupying this site , who will
establish a village around a repro
duction of old Fort Dearborn , on the
lake front.
Athletic contests , parades , great
fire works displays , patriotic meet
ings and religipus services , a grand
chorus , military maneuvers by gov
ernment troops , and on the conclud-
day a reception to the President of
the United States and other disting
uished guests , all contribute to a most
elaborate program.
Every energy is being employed to
make the occasion typical of that spir
it that has made Chicago one of the
greatest cities in the world.

The plain and open tapster who ac
costs yoi in the street purely to beg
may generally he known by an amaz
ing ov rpolfteness in opening the con
versation , lie is the only perr.cn I
kr.ow wl.o b'-gs rr.rdon for t.tking tlie
liberty of speaking to you. and by this
sign you shall know him. They all be
gin by begging pardon for taking this
not M > VPI-V rare liberty , but only the
d liters jo on straightway to tap. The
proficient tapsters approach the tap
sideways. s < > lo speak. Something like
this. v.itL a quick touch of the hat
brim :
"l > g pardon , sir. I'm sure I 'uinbly
beg your pardon for takin' the great
liberty of npeiikin' to you in a public
thoroughfare like this , which I am
quite aware it is a great liberty , sir ,
thouh ; trustin' you will kindly pardon
the great liberty of a pore , 'ardworkin'
mun. sir , in takin' the * great liberty of
askln' if this street is the 'Aymarket ,
sir ? " ( Or the way to the Strand or the
day of the month , or something ; )
You answer the question , but you
don't stop the stream of apologetics.
"Thank you , kindly , sir , " pursues the
tapster , pouring out the words , "thank
you kindly , sir , if you'll so far pardon
the liberty of a pore , 'nrdworkin' man ,
sir. In askln' the question , which un
fortunately I was forced to take the
great liberty , sir , through beln' out of
work eighteen months an' nothink to
eat since last Toosday fortnight , sir ,
upon my word of honor , which nothink
but the cries for bread of fourteen
young children in arms would prevail
on me , sir so Igstreme kind as you've
bin to me , sir , which I shall never for
get to take the very great liberty , sir ,
In a public thoroughfare , of askln'
.which is the nearest work'ouse ? "
If once more you give him Informa
tion instead of coppers , you only pro
voke another speech of the same sort ,
for he can go on like that for a deal
longer than yon , want to listen. It is
only In the extreme that he will direct
ly ask for money , though I fancy that
It Is merely caution that marks his
guarded way , as they say in the lyric , Ul
for If accused of begging by some
watchful policeman he can always
plead that he was only asking a harm
less question. And the questions - are Vi
endless in variety. I give my solemn
word that I was once buttonholed by JcPr
one of these seedy tapsters with the Pr
apologetic request that I .would tell
him the number of stars on the na
tional flag of the United States ! This
Is a simple fact. Leonard Larkin in
