Western Enterprise.



The growth of Chicago, from 10000 people
to 5000, in eighteen years, is one of the
marvels of history. But the increase of its
trade, commerce and wealth has greatly ex-
ceeded its increase Of population. AS a mart
for lumber, grain, beef and pork it surpasses
all Western cities. AS the center of a great
network Of gigantic railways spanning the
continent and uniting the Northern Lakes
with the Mexican Gulf. and as the entrepot
for the agricultural and mineral products of
the Northwest, it has no rival 1t has be-
come the great distributing point to the
Northwest and Southwest for the products OF
the Atlantic and Pacific slopes, and the
manufactures, teas, silks &c, of the Eastern
world. and is the great Metropolitan city fol
the vast portion of this country west of the
Aleghanies.
INCREASE OF POPULATION.
OF the 1914, TAG souls added to the Union,
the last ten years. according to the census,
4,739,67l have been added within the district
directly tributary to Chicago, without includ-
ing any States east or south of Illinois.
OBLIGATIONS OF CHICAGO TO YOUNG MEN
Chicago owes its unexampled growth
largely to the enterprise and energy of young
men. They have laid the foundations and
built the superstructure of her fortunes. Her
business men, with the fresh warm blood of
a vigorous manhood in their veins have
made her what she is-the wonder of mod
ern times. They have raised the city from
six to ten feet out of the mud, given 1t per-
feet drainage. paved 1t, tunneled Lake Michl-
gan and supplied the city with the best water
in this country, improved its sanitary con-
dition, established system of magniti-
cent Parks and Boulevards surrounding the
city, comprising 5000 acres, and making a
drive of twenty-five miles, built double road
ways under a navigabe rver-the first instance
in the world-attracted capital from abroad for
permanent investment, erected the most sub
stantial and imposing business structures, and
given her character and fame throughout the
Union.
CHANGE IN THE COURSE OF TRADE.
The course of trade has changed mate
rally since 1860, the wholesale business
having expanded into unwonted and uneX-
pected proportions. Formerly, most of our
country merchants went to New York twice
a year, and bought a six months supply.
Now they buy limited amounts at Chicago,
try the temper of the home market. replen-
ish their stocks as they become reduced with
only such goods "a they can sell and receive
them in from twelve hours to two days. So
that their goods are often sold long before they
could be received if purchased in Eastern
markets. They are thus enabled to supply
their customers with fresh goods of the latest
styles, and avoid the loss of carrying over
unsaleable stock

trade, and type of Chicago and her business
men, take the well-known firm of

Captain Noddy.
By A. 8. F.

Did You ever hear such a queer name
for Captain9 I have heard of cap
tains by the name of Smith, and
Brown, and Jones, but / never recollect
hearing of anybody by the name Of
Noddy, do youl
This Captain Noddy, that am going
to tell you about, is very old one, a
great deal older than our dear General
Washington, whom We all love to hear
about; yes, and ever SO much older
than certain man named Methuselah,
whom we read of in the Bible. / sup
pose you think it very strange for me
to say that anybody could be older
than he was, for every one says that
Methuselah was the very oldest man
that ever lived" but this captain has
been about ever since Adam and Eve
bad children, and | do not believe we
shall ever get rid of him as long as the
world stands.
The little folks / don't think ever
like him, for he generally manages to
come along in the evening right after
tea, just as they are going to have a
real nice play, or hear delightful
story.
1t seems to me he needn't make him.
self so disagreeable, and come in at
every time when he is not wanted.
The worst of 1t is, you never can see
him coming, for his tread is so light
but whenever your eyes begin to sting,
and feel as if they were full of sand or
cobwebs, and the upper lid will fall
down, and you feel very cross, then
you may know Captain Noddy is near
We once had bright-eyed little boy
who would frohc around all day, but
as soon as evening came, he would sit
down and get very quiet.
"What is the matter, Harry?" his
mamma would say 81 think Captain
Noddy is coming
The little fellow would Jump up and
look all around. "Where is he, man.
ma| he would say
He never could catch a glimpse of
the old fellow; and his mamma would
laush, and say, 81 suppose my little
boy is too sleepy to see we'll.
One day poor, old beggar man
came in the garden, and little Harry
rushed in to ask if that was Captain
Noddy His mamma took her sons
hand and said:
''There is no such real person as
Captain Noddy; but when little boys
and girls get very tired and sleepy, we
say they are having visit from him,
because their heads nod and bob about

The Squirrel Hunt.

A gray squirrel was busy one pleas
ant autumn day in gathering nuts and
storing them up for winter in the hol-
low of an old tree A farmer was chop
ping wood not far off, and his axe rang
loudly through the forest, but this
sound did not trouble our squirrel, for
he had heard it often before and knew
that it meant no harm for him.
But there came other sounds on the
air-children's voices and the barking
of a dog. At this the squirrel started
in alarm. The children saw him and
gave loud shout, and the two dogs
that were with them went tearing after
the frightened animal, making the
woods ring with their fierce yelpings
The dogs were so close upon the
poor squirrel when he saw them that
escape seemed almost impossible But
close by there lay a hollow log, and IN
to this he darted just as one of the
dogs was about Selling him.
We've got you now, old fellow ~
cried the children as the dogs sprang
into the hollow of the tree to seize the
squirrel. But squirrel was not so
easily caught. He was smaller than
the dogs, and could go in a great deal
farther to keep out of their reach.
The dogs parked and yelped and growl-
ed, but it was of NO use Squirrel was
safe from their teeth.
And now the farmer came up with
his axe, and seeing how it was, said to
the children and dogs;
Just keep off minute and I'll get
him." -.
And so he raised his sharp axe and
began cutting down into the log.
What was that which struck him a
smart tap on tbs headl Only nut,
dropped by Mr.. Squirrel from the tree
above him where he sat looking down
FAR away from danger. Squirrel had
been III that log many time before
and knew just how to get ont of it at
the other end. He had whisked
through like flash, and was springing
up into the tree at the very moment
when the dogs were looking for him in
the hollow of the log.
The farmer cut away with his axe,
not needing the nut that fell upon his
head, but when he had laid the log
open from end to end no squirrel was
to be found.
You are glad squirrel got away. |
can see it, children. in the pity and
SIadness that beams from your eyes.

The Lake Superior Miner has advices
from Silver Island, dated February
18th. Mr.. Clark, theoproprietor of the
mine at which Mr.. Beck is now engaged,
passed Pigeon River on his way to To
ronto. The shaft is down twenty-five
feet, and the silver is showing well at
the bottom. They have taken out about
thirty tons Of ore, but they are be-
ginning to be troubled with water.
At Silver Island they are doing well.
On the It'll of February they took out
five tons of the richest ore that has
been taken out yet, and which is esti-
mated to be worth $50, They ex
pect to take ont at the rate of $4,000
per week till the ice breaks up They
have been doing considerable work
this winter on the main land, and have
made a road through the Mountain
Cape to Thunder Cape, so as to pro
cure timber for the mine. The winter
has been remarkably mild, and there
is no ice outside the bays.

Church, and. on looking more closely,
observed that he was in the act of tax

reeled around, and taking hold Of the

The man call his attention to the fact
that the building on which he leaned
