A GOOD OLD AGE.
From the Chicago Tribune. }


Thirty-nino years ago the covered wag-
on of Daniel Warren found resting
place among tho sparse frame cabins ana
shahtles winch constituted Chicago. Its
travel. worn occupants were GLAD wncn the
Journey was resumed, and they exchanged
me scenes of II Hat, Struggling garrison
village for tho beautiful roliing pralrie OF
what Is now Outage County. Compare
the journey Then and now, from the heart
vi New Yorh state 10 Illinois. The pal

planted en- route the germs OF settlement

the states Of Indiana and Ohio.
The homestead at Naperyllle, DuPage
county, has been since mat time social
land -mark--s home with al the lest adj
juncts that make nome influence felt. In
contrast with the transient and shifting
features OF too many western iiresides, the
hearth of Daniel Warren once kindled
never saw ITS fires go Out, but for more
than generation it has been the loved
and cherished centre OF the best phases Of
home life. A few years ago Daniel War
rem went to his rest. his usefulness and
| activity prolonged to see the households
OF his son and seven daughters gather
again and again in tho Old homestead.
Col. j. NJ. Warren, the son, still resides ut
the Warren place, one of the best and
and most hospitable homes in Outage

The daughters are ladies widely known
| and esteemed in this city and section OF
the state-Mrs. 5. Is. Cobb, Mira. Jerome
Beecher, Mrs. Dodson, Mrs. Warren, Mrs.
