A young lawyer told some friends
last evening at one of the round Ia
bles of the Hoffman House of his ex-
periences on professional tour in the
West.
I'D never been out that way before"
he said, land | felt little nervous
about the stories I'd heard of train
robbers and desperados who ran their
private graveyards, so l bought a re-
yolver in st. Louis. 1t turned out to
be a good investment l went all
through the mining districts in Colo
RADIO and Arizona, and never had even
SO much as an uncivil word or look
from any of the natives, and the des-
peradoes they pointed out to me SEEM
ed as peaeeable and inoffensive as any
of the rest of the citizens, until I got
to little place called Steel Plate in
Arizona. L was travelling entirely alone
on a little branch railroad, and when |
went into the smoker | d iced that one
or two miners who were smoking their
pipes there sized me up for tender
foot, and were inclined to sheer at my
clothes. The dude of the party was a
big strapping fellow, who wore an an
cient silk hat and frock suit and pre-
sented the appearance of the ideal Dor
der ruffian-'half man, half horse, and
half grizzly
I'VE all got off at Steel Plate for
dinner, which was served in a shanty
on long table. The dude miner took
off his coat and vest in recognition of
the etiquette of the dinner-table in that
part OF the country. but kept his hat on
his head. He sat down next to me,
and ] noticed that he seemed very much
interested in everything that l did, and
that his companions watched him as if
he had promised to show them some
sport. 1 felt very uneasy, situated as |
was so far from civilization and alone
among those ruflians, but | was deter

The butter was just as near to his
plate as it was to mine, so replied:

savagely.

Girls and Cigarettes.


On one of the trains bound for New
York, passing through this city the
other day, was crowd of girls. Thew
were evidently from some college or
boarding-school near Boston. as they
were In two Boston Il Albany cars,
which they had all to themselves.
There was crowd of Yale students at
the station who left on the same train.
Most of them were looking for a smok-
ing-car, and when they saw curls of
smoke through the windows of the cars
the girls were in they naturally thought
they were smoking cars. When they
tried the doors and found they were
locked, they wondered, and their won
der was increased to intense curiosity
when they saw there was nobody but
girls in the car, and that several of
them We're smoking cigarettes. A
whole crowd of the students clustered
on the platform, and looked longingly
into the windows of the ears where
they would like to be.
1t was evident that the girls were
from some college, because many of
them wore society pins, and the appear
ance of the crowd was that peculiar to
college boys-only these were girls.
Several were playing cards, but none
were drinking; at least reporter who
was attracted by the sight. and rode
on the platform to Bridgeport, saw no
bottles, or any sign that the girls imi-
tated their brothers in anything but the
card-playing and smoking. 1t can
hardly be attributed to the whole
crowd, as out of fifty or so in the car,
not more than ten, who We're in one
corner OF the car. were smoking and
playing cards.
Cigarettes were the only things the
girls smoked. They had no cigars or
pipes. Several of them had dainty
holders, and couple of them were evil
IDENTIFY meeTsChaums, and had seen use,
as the dainty ight-brown coloring
showed. No loud talking was heard.
The girls were having a quiet enjoyable
smoke in ladylike way. None of the
non-smokers seemed to think it at all
out of the way in the girls who smoked.
All were young looking. and if there
were any teachers in the crowd they do
not look it.
From al that could be seen through
the car window the girls were playing
whist quietly and methodically. They
played just as fellows would and the
whole thing looked so much like a mild
carlcature of college mcn on their way
home that il was hard 10 realize that
the girls, too, might BE- asing their

L HAVE been bothered with catarrh for
about twenty years l could not tel how
many different remedies | have tried, and
none seemed to reach my case like Ely s
Cream Balm. | had lost my smell eu-
tirely for the last fifteen years, and [ had
almost lost my hearing. My eyes were
getting SO dim [ had to get some one to
thread my needle. Now ] have my hear
ing as well as [ ever had. and can see
thread as fine needle as ever did, and
my smell is partly restored, and 1t seems
to be improving all the time. L think

The CHICAGO WEEKLY NEWS is now an eight-page, sixty.
four-coumn paper. 1t is the largest "donar weekly" in America. Its
eight broad, long pages present, each week, a mass of choicely selected
matter, containing much to suit each of the varying tastes of the family
circle. First and foremost, it gives ALL THE NEWS, complete as to
details, yet concise in form. Its connection with the CHICAGO
DAILY NEWS (member of the associated Press gives it facilities
for news-gathering unsurpassed by any journal in the country. Its
MARKET REPORTS re specially complete and thoroughly trustworthy.
Particular attention is given to agricultural and home matters. Every
issue contains SIX COMPLETED STORIES, and a regular instalment of an
original story by some ~wellknown English or American author, ex-
clusively secured for the CHICAGO WEEKLY NEWS. Condensed
notes on fashions, art, industries, literature, science, etc, etc, appear
regularly.
Few papers in the country are 81 extensively quoted by the press
in general for Its bright and humorous paragraphs as the Chicago
Daily Ne~s. These are all reproduced in the WEEKLY NEWS
In its editorial expression the paper speaks from the standpoint Of the
INDEPENDENT Journalist, thereby escaping the temptation to support
or condone the questionable under the pressure of party allegiance.
Mere partisan extremists will not like it the far-minded and thought.
full of all parties will appreciate and value its candid statements Of facts
and conclusions, all calculated to qualify the reader for the formation
of his own intelligent opinion. The political events of the year to
come promise to assume such a character that a thoroughly truthful
and impartial record becomes alimportant rather than a partisan one,
colored and perverted to individual liking.
In all its departments the CHICAGO WEEKLY NEWS aims to
present an enterpIisng, impartial and entertaining family newspaper
Of the very highest grade.
