The Rugbeian. (Rugby, Morgan Co., Tenn.) 1881-1882, 1881-03-01


SO to speak, of all that goes make up and project
upon society consolidated form of human organiza-
ton, as it were and its belongings in general Our
young friend will give the title in his form of
words" Bob had been lying on of the hunks
for the last hour, partly listening the talk and part
y thinking of his folks at home and his own pros
poets. AT the conclusion of the introduction he at
once assumed an upright position, drew from his
inside vest pocket folded leaf ofoolscap, and COM
menced at once to read in clear distinct tone
The Chicago B,oAa0Aood, or Aow to build up Rugby.
In all ages of the world and in all countries under
the sun, wherever the hand of civilization has
been put forth to better the condition of human be-
ings, it has been one of the great problems of or
gained society to know how to order mass of
human beings into the best and most profitable mode
of life. The founding of the great cities of the East
has been the result of hundreds, and, we may say,
thousands of years of persistent effort and toll and
has been brought about in great part by the natural
action of people, by one, their time, occasion,
or necessities permitted 1t is only within the pres
ent century, you may say, that methods of organi
cation have been used as tools to work with in
promoting associations.
The formation of the large western towns that
have sprung up in such wonderful manner within
the last fifty years in the United States has been the
subject of extended remark in the newspapers of the
day, as we'll as in conversation among the people,
and in speaking of the many causes which have been
given for their rapid growth there is one that has
fallen under my observation which consider mpor-
tant and one that have never yet seen in print. l

Bob lowered his paper, dropping the loud tone
which he had held on to from the commencement, and
said There Mr.. Chairman; that's as far as got
when see twas time for me to get supper" clip
top" said Jim 'Dat's YER nice," said Stub.
"Creditable alike to your heart and brain my young
FRIEND" said the chairman; ''and you may now
proceed and conclude extempore, SO to speak
"Wall, as said," remarked Bob, dropping to his
natural voice and manner of expression 81 found it
wasn't going to be easy to write out what want
ed to say, for twas only goin to be part of my
personal experience when went to Chicago to keep
books for my uncle in lumber yard. You see
father had always been pretty well heeled, and we'd
most always lived in New York city, and I'd had a
chance to get in my work with the boys wherever
was. But when went to Chicago there didn't seem
to be any door open for me. The young felers was
plenty and nice enough, too, but they didn't seem to
warm up to me, although paid for moren my share
of the cigars, and lost lots of games of billiards that
might have saved, only to get in with the boys and
took particular pains to tell them about the bang
up places in eastern cities, and where | had
spent my summers, at Newport, Saratoga, or Lake
George and the regattas and college clubs that we
had and all that sort O thing. But use; l
!. couldn't get in no how, and began to make up my
+ mind there was something wrong about me, and
= began to grow homesick like when one day was
sitting out in the yard looking out upon the lake, when
. unce's boss shipper, first rate Teller, come along
and set down by me, and spoke up kinder CHEEKY
!. like and says WE'LL young man, how do you like
4 our young city2 notice you're in with jolly
!. young troupe. Wall, that just opened the way and
just right and told him the whole business, right
straight through. When | got through he slapped
e me on the shoulder and says: Well, young Teller
