DEAR CHICAGO.

As travelled from Chicago to the city of New
York
| practiced in the dining car at eating with my
fork,
For a journalistic brother, whose career had
been begun
Back in Gotham (he had worked, of course
with Dana on The SUM,
Volunteered the information that 1t wasn't
worth my while
To invade the eastern centers with my woody
western style.
So | strove to square my manners with the
manners of the east,
And in hunger left the table, where might
have had feast.
For a month or two I've wandered solitary in
the crowd,
Ever missing, ever longing for the sight of
something loud
Amy old familiar figure with his breeches in
his boots,
And his skin chockful of liquor and of liberty
and boots;
Every day walk the avenue and look in vain
for him
Who wears the air of freedom and the hat Of
gorgeous brim.
Every night try my latchkey in a dozen doors
or so,
For the houses are as like as bricks assembled
in a row.
And yearn for dear Chicago, where the folks
are made of meat,
And man can beg tubaccuh from stranger
on the street.
One night | strolled around to Herrmann's
theater to see
II Billy Morton managed it and still remem-
bered me,
But, To- they'd never heard Of Billy Morton, l
was told,
Though Mr.. William Morton gave me welcome
as of old.
| He put me in box, as he out west had used
to do,
And in compliment to him sat the whole per-
| Torrance through;
| But felt a westward yearning as l thought
how was wont
Out there TO hear the whistlng and the cries
of Down in frontl'
When the lady in the drama shrieked, I'm
hand me, sir" and then
The hero came and mopped the stage with half
a dozen men;
How, when the show was over, had gone to
Billy Boyle's,
The chop house in the alley, where you get two
kinds of broils;
Where they brew deal of trouble and deal
of whisky punch,
And you watch pleasant shooting scrape
the while you eat your lunch.
at ease,
Where every one respects your right to go it as
you please;
Where even if your wife objects to your erratie
course
You can step right in most anywhere and get
cheap divorce;
Where literary culture knocks the spots from
old New York,
And poetry goes gayly hand in hand with
packing pork;
, Where rare editions may be found and schol
ars who can tell 'em;
, Where Field gets both his Horace and hi
sausage bound in vellum.
! I'd like TO go and live and die where men ans
women are,
And where the one gives up his seat to tothe
in the car
I'd like to go, and so I would, but-here's wha
makes me sad

dretful bad.

Francis dined at 10 a. m, but by the
time Henry ~ had assembled the throne of
France the proper hour, as prescribed by
his medical advisers, and which was more
and more adhered to by the upper classes,
was between 10 and II a. M, after which it
is advisable to remain at table without
moving about for at least half an hour,
talking pleasantly with your companions.
With Louis XIV the hour of dinner had
already been put back to l p. m, and he
took his supper as late as Top. m. But
this hour was shortly afterward rejected,
and a Z o'clock supper was instituted be-
cause, as Pierre Gontier said, sit is a dan
gerous leap to jump from table to bed"
The interval between what was then
called dinner and what now is luncheon,
and the evening meal being too long for a
good many people, a Coulter at 5 p. m. be-
came the fashion, and this repast, now
known as five O'clock" is again the order
of the day, together with the same hours
for the chief meals of the day.

THE GAMBLERS LOSE
How a Faro Game Was Fleeced By
Sharpers

The air about the Capital saloon was
blue yesterday morning with the oaths Of
"Shep" the proprietor of the faro game
conducted in that resort. "Shep" usually
has the night watch, and Of course does
not rise with the lark, but tries to answer
Bill Nye's definition of a gambler by
rising at 10 o'clock. He trusts the
conduct of the game to his employees.
Yesterday morning he arose earlier than
usual and, visiting the game TO see how
everything was progressing, found rat
thing game in progress. Several players
were bucking the tiger and were playing
| in unusually good luck. One of the gam
/ blers was standing near the dealer, and
after looking at the box intentlY for
a moment, would place his bet
and 1t seemed as If he couldn't lose. SheL
saw his money vanishing rapidly, and
concluded something was wrong. AT the
conclusion of the deal he examined the
cards and found a small hole punched III
the center of each. The cards used art
red and black, the reds are even and the
blacks odd. The slight hole enabled the
player TO see the card In the box, and oil
course he could place his bets with
reasonable security. The game was loser
about $500. A stranger who happened
TO be playing at the time sat silently
meditating, and when the marked cards
were shown him, exclaimed: by George
the Prince of Wales is in town"

1t has been found that the herbivores,
especially those that are compelled to

up to nearly its last moment. At Phila-

aged between 40 and As years, is still work

born at Kalnowitz in 1929, remained fer

The Bottle Chart.

In 1s43 chart of bottle voyages In the
Atlantic was constructed by Lieutenant
Beecher, an English naval officer, with the
idea that by such means the determination
of currents might be illustrated. The
time which elapses between the launching
of the bottle from the ship and the finding
OF it on shore, or the picking of it up by
some other ship, has varied from few
days to sixteen years, while the straight
line distance between the two points has
varied from few miles to 5000 miles. The
chart is marked by several hundred straight
lines, each drawn from the latitude and
longitude of immersion to the latitude and
longitude of the finding.

Negotiations are being entered into by
the city Of New Whatcom to procure
from the Fairhaven Land company and
the Bellingham Bay Improvement com
pany, a portion OF land situated on the
Sehome bill, for the purpose of locating a
city park. The hill Is hardly suitable for
anything else but park. If the two
companies will sell the land required for
a suitable sum and on long terms, the
deal Will be accomplished and work com
mence upon the drives before long. From
the summit Of the hill a most magnificent
view Of Bellingham bay and the outlying
Islands meets the eve. Buildings, such as
observatories, refreshment saloons will be
erected, and the drives made winding
with an easy ascent. Being that the land
Is not suited for residence prop.
erty, for the present at any rate, the city
OF New Whatcom will meet with nc
obstacles In consummating the deal The
city further intends locating another park
