DULL.


The "dog-days" !" are having the usual effect
in Lake View as elsewhere, and the status quo
is only faiutly indicated by the word 'squict u
underscored. That portion of the community
which, by nature Of restless disposition, and
because it is fashionable spends its summers
running round the circle OF resorts, hunting
cool place, has either gone or is speedily going
on its iruitless quest, and now, while the alb
sentees are moppiug their fcvcrcd broVs, and
singing Home again." the stay at-honcs, with
calm content and nc exertion, are enjoying tic
summer climate of the coolest suburb Of the
coolest city on the continent. They know q
good thing when they get it. But outside Of
its climatic claims to appreciation, the town has
other capabilities for tiding over the shot
spcll'' in comfortable manner. Purcst Of
lake water, accessible from all the principal
streets, and nineteen saloons silniiar1y accesst-
bic for the thirsty, shady groves with mcaBder-
ing walks for the sentimental, baseball for the
muscular Christians, the Lcke Tie.1 Sun for
seekers after knowledge, Town Board meet
ings for the future Presidents, and d COM
lnodlous jail for aspiring patriots, form com
billation that should not be overlooked in
weighing the comparative merits OF watering
places.
