York swell who resembled in the slightest

to the smart set in London would ever
disgrace himself by wearing Az eiubroider-

is the rule. The best dressed men are those
who wear no jewelry-even a watch chain.

There is st-5ry attached to the condem-
nation proceedings instituted by the Chi

~ which Bridget Burns received $4,000
tcr 2-1S feet frontage on kinzie street, near
Canal. her husband was known as
"Mickv" Burns to all the river men, ships
crews and stevedores in the port OF Chi
cago. "Micsy's" junk shop was a favorite
place. and had reputation that reached
% every port on the inland lakes. He
bought some land on the river near Kinzie
and Canal streets. The Northwestern
road laid its tracks over the river to its
depot on the north side, and it happened
that they extended four inches on
Micky's' lana. There was talk Of con-
domination, but a. the house was not in the
way they were unsuccessful.
Then the fun began. About four times
year the railroad company got bills of
damages from "Micky" for the plaster that

Just within his own property, and crawled
up the rounds.
The train C:-:ne, but the engineer did not

climbed upon the ridgepole of his house

\ few years ago 'Micky'' died, and his
widow, Bridget, did not keep up the hos
tilities, and at last was compelled to sell
her house. But she got good price for it.

Troublesome Coin.

Canadian coin is of no small worry in
metropolitan life. Intrinsically it is worth
more than our own, but practically it is
commercially tabooed and is always IA
source of irritation and sometimes personal
loss, except to those who deal in it as n
commodity. Nearly every time you get
change ten cent or twenty five cent Cana
dian coin will slip Unusually the former
which can scarcely be detected from our
dime. Then when you are in a hurrying
line at an elevated station the ticket agent
will push that coin back to you and YOU
must tumble around for more money. If
YOU Should board street car and happen
to have no other change short Of five dol
lar bill you will be compelled to get off and
get change, for the conductor will neither
accept your Canadian piece nor change
anything bigger than a two dollar bill
You may not have noticed up to that
time That you had the doubtful coin You

accept another, and during the next hour

tradcciaen VIII take the coin a par, others

American Luxury and Love Of Money.
AT Frenchman's bay, on the border of
the eastern states, violent storm having
compelled me to stop at Machias, l ques-
toned the man at whose house was stay
ing. That house was indeed the best in
the district, and, as people say in the coun-
try, the landlord was most respectable
man. Having exhausted the chapter rela-
tive to the value and price of land, asked
him whether he had ever been to Philadel-
phia. He replied that he had not yet done
so. He was a man of about IS years of
age. | scarcely dared to ask him whether
he knew Gen. Washington. 81 have never
seen him, he said. "If you should go to
Phlladeiphia," | went on, you would be
pleased to see the great man?'' mo doubt
shall, but, he added with beaming eyes,
Il should very much like to see Mr.. Bing-
ham, the man who they say is 50 rich"
Throughout the States | met with SINH
lar love for money, and often rs coarsely
expressed. This country is too soon ac-
qualnted with lUxuries. The latter are
indeed, shocking when men can hardly
provide themselves with the necessaries of
life. | recollect having seen in the drawing
room of Mrs. Robert Morris the hat manu-
featured in the birthplace of the master of
the house, carefully laid on IN elegant
Sevres china table, bought at Trianon by
some American. Hardly would Euro
pean peasant have consented to wear such
a hat.
On the banks OF the Ohio Mr.. Smith pos
sesses a residence known in the country by
the name of los house. The walls of il
were formed with rOIgh trees. The draw
