CHICAGO, ILL.,, July cit would be a
pleasure to travel if it could always be
lone with the ease and comfort which n
experiences from st. Paul to Chicago on
the Burlington. Once in the well ar
ranged chair car or elegant Pullman not a
particle of dust can reach you. The Bur
hngton IRON 81. Paul to savannah H.
300 miles, runs flght along the east oanA
of the Mississippi. 1t is called the Mis-
sissippi scenic line and is very interesting,
even to one accustomed to tho grandest
natural scenery in America-the Rocky
mountains.

THE MAMMOTH METROPOLIS.
But Chicagoi Who can describe it2
Not your correspondent certainly.
Whether the scene be the every dav ap-
pearance of the streets when Chicago's
million inhabitants rush msdly along with
an eve only TO business, %iostling the
thousands of visitors who more leisurly
walk about gazing with astonishment on
the marvcls of architectural beauty or
ever shifting but exciting scenes OF COM
merce; or the quiet of beautiful Grace
land country where the evergreens and
graceful spruce, the oaks and weeping
willows and millions Of most lovely flow
ers of every hue and color are inter-
mingled with towering monuments OF
marble or the more u~npretentIous stone
which mark the resting place OF thous
ands; or the lake on a Sunday morning
when hundreds OF fishermen sit quietly on
the piers, while the large excursion boats
with their hundreds of passengers hustle
out upon the waters with bands playing
and flags flying, and the masters of
smaller vessels yell themselves hoarse try
ing to convince the crowd that W are
going right out now, and that they
must hurry up here now II they would
avail themselves OF the chance to make
the round trip to the government pier
and back for nly ten cents, n at the
same time enjoy the music OF an Italian
band; or the market where Tor several
blocks the world $ produce Is Tor sale and
the street olockaded with Vehicles oil every
description; or the board of trade where
hundreds OF excited spectators are gcs-
tculating irantlcaily and yelling at the
top OF their voices; the scene is lndis-
cribable. Last sunday
