A Youth frOr. Chicago.
perhaps, says Bill Nye, mo surging
sentiments Of pity have stirred my very
soul during my official career like those
that throbDed wildly athwart my system
few days ago. It was a case Of the
most bitter disappointment of a young
life. A youth from Chicago came to me
near the close of the day. was lust
about to lock up the judicial scales for
the evening and secure the doors of the
archives preparatory to going out and
shaking the Mayor for the lemonade,
after which I intended to breathe in a
little fresh atmosphere and go home for
dinner.
" 1t had been hard day In the tenn
pie of justice that day, and the court
was weary. It had dealt out even
handed justice at regular rates since
early morning at so much per deal, till
fatigue was beginning to show itself in
the lines upon that broad white brow.
Therefore, when hating step was
heard on the stair, there was low muir
muir on the part of the court, and half
surprised moan that sounded like the
tail end of an affidavit.
The young man who entered the
hallowed presence of eternal Justice and
the all-pervading and dazzling beauty
of the court in its shirt-sleeyes, was Of
about medium stature, with shoes cut
decolette, and Roman striped socks
clicked with brocaded straw-colored
silk.
He wore an ecru-colored straw hat,
with navy-blue brocaded band and neck
tie of old gold, with polka dots of hum
berta and cardinal, interspersed with
embroidered horseshoe and stirrup in
coucherde soleil and ultramarine. His
hair was dark and oleaginous, and his
shirt was cream-colored ground, with
narrow baby-blue stripes, cut-away col
lar and cuffs that extended out into
space
He also had some other clothes on.
But all over, and pervading the en-
tire man, was the look of hopelessness
and corroding grief. With all his good
clothes on, he was hollow mockery,
for the eyes were heavy with woe.
The nose also was heavy with woe.
"This feature, in fact, was more APP
propriately draped in token of its sad
ness than any of the rest. Few noses
are so expressive of general and incur
able gloom as this one was. It had evi-
IDENTIFY at one time been glad, joyous
and buoyant nose, but now it was de-
spondent and low spirited.
"There was look of goneness and
utter desolation about it that would
stir the better impulses of the most
heartless.
"The feature had evidently tried to
centralize itself, but had failed. Here
and there narrow strips of court plaster
had gone out after it and tried to win it
back, but they had not succeeded.
81 said, Mister, there seems to be
panic among the component parts of
your nose. It's none Of my business, of
course, but couldn't you get brass
band and call it together? Then you
could hold meeting and decide whether
it had better resume or not
"The gentleman from Chicago went
through the motions of wiping the wide
waste and bowling desolation where his
once-joyous nose had been, and then,
putting away the plum-colored silk
handkerchief with the orange border, he
said:
"Squire, I have been grossly de-
ceived. You see in me the victim of a
base misrepresentation. In Chicago
this season of the year is extremely I'M
healthy. The intense hot weather car
ried away the innocent and the good.
and feared my turn would come soon.
/ heard of the salubrious cline of your
mountain city, where the days are filled
with gladness and the burning heat OF
the mighty city by the inland sea never
comes. / came here two brief days ago,
and you can see with the naked eye
what the result has been. 1t is not
gratifying. The climate may in the alb
stract be all right, but there are certain
sudden and wonderful atmospheric
changes that I cannot account for, and
they are very disastrous.
"'I was sitting in Second-street
saloon to-day, talking about matters and
upon physical strength. One thing led
to another, and finally | made little
humorous remark to young man there,
which remark 1 have made In Chicago
many times without disastrous results,
but the air clouded up all of sudden,
and in the darkness could see Roman
candles going off, and pin-wheels, and
high-priced rockets, and blue lights, etc.
"Shortly after that I gathered up
what fragments of my face [ could find,
and went down to the doctors Office. He
held an inquest on my nose, and paid
him for it. shall go back to Chicago
tomorrow. I shall not be as handsome
as I was, but have gained a good deal
of information about the broad and beau
tiful West which ispriceless in value tome.
"'All I wished to say was this: If
you see fit to mention this matter to the
public, tone it down as much as posi-
