In Twenty Years.

To the citizen of the Old World. who
is observant on his travels in the United
States, this is q country where develop
ment is marvelously rapid. In Europe,
family. town. or city which can
not trace its history back more that two
hundred and fifty years is as hard to be
found as black swan Old towns have
grown, but new ones haye not been
founded. Sixty millions more of peo-
pie are hero than hundred and fifteen
years ago But if the development of
hundred or two hundred years seems
wonderful to the European. what shall
we say of the material progress of tho
last thenty Years? A single illustration
is enough. Twenty years ago this week,
Chicago suffared an unparalleled loss
by fire. The business district was de-
stroyed and thousands of people left
shelterless in the streets. What is Chi
cago now? The second city ip the
United States. What were the states
west of the Mississippi twenty years
ago? What they are now can best be
ascertained by taking trip over the
Burlington system OF roads, which
reaches all important places in ten
Western and Northern States. For any

of trains, call on your local agents, or
