1t hiss tho rugged beauty Of rocks and
hills which tbs Chicago parks do not.
Few Eastern people realize that Chicago
is quietly and with . tiInid and almost
shrinking modesty. which is almost pain
ful, saiaing on toward the top Of the list.
aud l have often wished that she would
attempt 1T least TO assert herself through
the columns Of the press In such WY
that her greatness and her wonderful
and uninterrupted growth might be
shown to the people Of the satisfied East.
Why doesn't sne speak of IL?
In Brooklyn last week saw the most
refined barber sign that l ever came
across, think 1t was called
.......-....--......-.....
THE BROOKLYN HAIR CUTTING :
STUDIO.
Where the barber has such high and
cloud piercing notions. is it to be Won
dered at that the city itself is 90 refined
and 50 excelsior? The day. dare say, is
not far distant when the sausage making
afeiter will be as common in Brooklyn
a. the man with the long divided skirt
frock coat is now.
The red necktie is certainly contend
ing in = spirited manner for the New
York aud Brooklyn right Of way with
the frock coat, which has . beautiful
sweep Of kilt. reaching considerably be
low the knees. Some attribute this i'm
ported English idiocy to one cause and
some to another. but you will find when
you come to figure it all out that tho
able and brainy tailor wishes not only
to make for You y new style of frock
coat. but top coat also. for otherwise you
expose your new and astonishing skirts.
1t is rather q pretty custom for those
who have trim hips and natural and
beautiful sweep of fonrnure. but for the
pumpkin seed order of architecture with
sloping shoulders and broad, intellectual
hips. together with gait which occupies
the entire breadth Of the sidewalk, the
long frock coat simply emphasizes tho
ecccntricity and advsrtises = doubtful
attraction.
met several days ago bright speci-

old friend of mine. and living illustra-

education Heisvery prosperous. though
not in the line Of any profession. This
is. Of course, . disappointment to his
parents, but not 70 him. He always
hated the professions, but admired other
avenues for obtaining . livelihood. He
earned his FIRST money ~ . child by re-
turning . valuable Maltese cat on which
there was . reward Of twenty dollars.
Seeing the advantages TO DO derived
from this branch Of trade. he soon re-
turned other valuable cats for which
there WA q reward offered. and soon
after that he added to his trade that Of
the valuable dog.
He has been very successful In the cat
tie industry in the far west. he says. and
with nothing 20 start with but tired
steer. . tir.iess branding iron and no
bility Of purpose. Coupled with his col
lege training. he has made out by the
natural increase and geometricd pro-
gression. as we call 1t in mathematics, to
own large and very fine herd Of eight
thousand mead Of good cattle.
And do you attn butte any measure Of
your success" ssked him the other day.
