cranks, the first thing noticed was the
change in the atmosphere. II had been
oppressively warm on tho street, but
here it was decidedly chilly and the
wind was blowing at the rate OF forty
miles an hour. It was necessary to but
ton an overcoat tightly to prevent it
from transforming itself into pair Of
wings, and ones hat did not feel secure
until it was pulled over the ears
1t is with sense OF elation that the
visitor finds himself at that great alti-
tude, with his feet on stone as solid as
terra firma and walled about with a par
apet waist high.
What splendid view there must be
from this point on clear day when
there is just enough wind to tear the
pail of smoke that hangs over the city!
But to-day Dante might stand on this
eminence and fancy himself suspended
at a comfortable distance over the In
ferno. Smoke, fog and clouds combine
in debauch OF murkiness. Look to the
east, the west, the south and every
where you see miles and miles OF chin
neys spouting smoke, and each one
belching as if it feared to be surpassed
by its fellows. This enormous energy
seems to be directed solely to the blot
ting out of the blue sky.
Look down eight stories and you see
the roof of the Auditorium Hotel,
which is itself ten stories high. Look
around and you see roofs everywhere,
Indian chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1882-1902, 1890-05-22

and in the fog you can hardly distin-
ruish the streets, which are thin
streaks of black. Out of the mass Of
chimneys the only structure that lifts
its head Up proudly and gazes at the
overtopping Auditorium is the Pullman
building to the north. Near it is the
squatty Exposition Building, its domes
looking like three inverted tumblers be-
aide its soup-tureen neighbor. To the
northwest there Is but one spire thai
claims equality with the tower on which
you stand. 1t is the slender and sancti-
monious spire OF the Board Of Trade
surmounted by its golden ship.
From the Wilderness of roofs and the
Hades of smoke It is refreshing to face
eastward and breast tho misty lake
What little is visible to-day OF tho
water is serenely still. though an upper
current Of air going at forty miles an
hour is blowing about your ears.
The outlines Of the breaxwater arc
distinct and fine, like the column rules
0f a newspaper. Looking directly down
you see what the railroad has left OF the
Lake Front Park-a narrow stretch Of
green embroidered with walks and lying
between Michigan avenue and the par
aslel tracks Of the Illinois Central.
Along these multiplied tracks between
the park and the lake trains are moving
10 and fro at all times. Now an engine
goes squirting along, racing with an ex-
press; and again a great freight, extend
ing several blocks. drags its slow length
along. And all these cars and engines
from this distance look like the toy
trains that a boy amuses himself ,Sith
On the nursery floor. They are so mini
6ed that you feel you might pick up a
whole train and hold it between your
index finger and thumb.

TO a number OF English, Scotch and Irish
