Tho wonderful progress OF Chicago ID tlJs
manufacturing field during the past decade
has proved genuine eye opener to Eastern
people, and many o. her own citizens while
dimly conscious OF her growth in this re-
spect are not fully alive TO the immense
benefit which accrues to the city by the
gradual location of great manufactures in
her vicinity. In every day lines such as
packing, milling and kindred industries
Chicago has long been acknowledged the
King Bee, but it will surprise most peo-
pie to learn that in the manufacture of
musical instruments also, the largest fac
tory In existence is located in Chicago.
Nevertheless 1t is a fact that Lyon Il
Healy turn out more goods annually than
any similar factory in the world. Last year
their output was upward of 1000 musical
instruments and this year judging by the
increase thus far the result will be con-
siderably greater. The instruments made
BY them include Pianos. Organs, Harps.
Guitars, Banjos, MandOlins, Drums and
band Instruments, and the quality ts 80 far

to know that to his section belongs this
high distinction.

I'm Case Of Sunstrole,

The first thing to be done for SUM-
struck man is to take him to the cool
est spot that can be found near by-a
well ventilated cellar or basement, UNI
der shade tree, or even in the shadow
of q building Then loosen his clothes
and apply cold water to his head and
subsequently, not ice water while
the arms, legs and chest may be
bathed with tepid water containing am
monia or carbonate Of soda. The best
position for the patient while this treat
ment is being carried out is lying on
his left side, for in that position the
bleod will more easily flow from the
head to the heart. The administration
of any alcoholic stimulant is Of doubt
full safety, and drinks Of ice water are
likely to kill instead of cure. Cold tea
or coffee is recommended. Is is also
lemon juice and water. Blisters along
the spine are often followed by good
effects. IN. Y. Press.

door and stepped out into the dark.
He followed his streets, poor fellow,
with discrimination. He kept steadily,
slowly. but unwaveringly, seeking
those places best lighted, lingering no

he paused-it was wild night. The

A DOGS PERFORMANCE.
1t Returns to Its Home Two Hundre
Miles Away.

| 1t Returns to Its Home Two Hundred
Miles Away.
The feats performed by animals in
finding their way home over territory
that they could not by any possibility
| have traversed are sometimes almost
| incredible. About three months ago a
friend of mine received as present a
valuable pointer dog. The man who
raised the dog lives in southwest Mis-
| souri,, about two hundred miles from
this city, and the dog came by train in
the baggage car and was brought to his
house near the center of the city in a
covered express wagon. The animal
was then chained up in the cellar till
it was supposed he had become accus-
toned to his surroundings. The dog
never seemed satisfied, moped about
the house for two or three weeks and
then disappeared. 1t was supposed
that he had been stolen, and after
search had been made and reward
offered, without result, the hunt for
the dog was given up as hopeless.
About a month after the dog was
missed my friend received letter from
~AA~ AAAsSAA WIN toSO lila Viz lux ShJ 1LH
that Cato had come back home, dirty,
half starved, worn out and with every
indication of having made long and
severe journey. OF course he was al
lowed to remain. A dog that could find
his way hcsne from distance of two
hundred miles was worth keeping, but
how the thing could be done is marvel
ous 1t almost seems as if dogs and
some other animals have special
sense of locality and direction. Other
wise how could this animal have found
his way out of a great city and back
home over two hundred miles of ground
which he had never travelled on foot?-

Too Cheap.

xOO OMC0Rs
For six years or m ore the bones
of ex-President Grant have been
Wondering in Riverside Park, and
through all those years periodical
appeals have been made to the peo-
ple to contribute their mites toward
the erection of grand monument
over his remains. The great mass
of people gave those appeals cold
reception. The common people
were given no special favors by
President Grant, and their cOntribu-
tions were extremely limited. Other
schemes must be worked, and these
other schemes are now materializ-
ing.
The millionaires of the country,
and especially of New York, many
of whom were made such through
President Grants acts and influence,
are thoroughly imbued with the
spirit of Goddess greed, and now
that he is beyond the silent river,
have, through all these years, been
begging the people to come to their
aid and help them make the spot
where reposes the remains of the
Plutocrats' friend the American
Mecca. The people have not heed
ed the call. They remember that
when an effort was made to equalize
the bounties, President Grant told
them the country was too poor, and
gave the law pocket veto, and at
the same hour, as far as regards the
events of history, signed the bill
which enabled congressman to each
steal $4,000, and double the salary
of the president; and then, in add
ton to this, in the midst Of great
national poverty, signed the bill
which gave the money-changers and
Shylocks at least $500, 100000.
To equalize the bounties it would
have required about $3.50, 900,
and for this the country was too poor.
TO double salaries, to support retro
active salary and give the bond-hold-
er four times as much as would have
done justice in one thing to the men
who saved the nation, it was not too
poor. The people remember.
New York insisted that the ex-
president be buried on Manhattan
Island, and that over his remains
they would erect a grand monument.
Six years has passed, and the corner
stone of that lOng-promised monu
ment is laid. The cornerstone is in
place, and now comes the great ex-

pense, and with the realization OF
that expense, which must be met,
comes an appeal to the e.. A. Il. for
each member to send 81, with letter
of company and name of organiza-
ton. The names will be indexed
and bound and placed in the crypt OF
the monument, and preserved as a
memorial of the G.. A. r. After de-
Quoting expense of indexing and
binding such record, the remainder
of the dollars are to be expended in
finishing the monument. This is
unquestionably the GROWING exhi-
pition of cheek. The rich men who
have the enterprise in charge were
made rich by laws which received
the signature of US. Grant as pres
ident, and they appeal to men, the
vast majority of whom are denied
justice by this same president, to
contribute each a dollar for the mon
ument the rich promised to build.
ask why any old soldier-the
men who made him great, and who
were by him incontinently snubbed
by being told the country was too
poor to do THEM justice-should con-
tribute one cent towards this rich
mems enterprise.
The proposed cost of the monu-
ment is $500, 900. There are about
that many Grand Army men, and
one dollar from each will build the
1t is shrewd scheme,
but it wont work. AS a class the
old boys have been contributing
from their scanty hoard Of dollars by
way of tribute to the rich until many
of them cannot pay their dues, and
whose names are kept on the rolls of
posts because their comrades will
keep them there.
This is an age of cheapness-a
monomania of cheapness-cheap
men, cheap women, cheap products,
cheap boys, cheap girls, cheap polit-
ical morals-in fact everything
cheap but money; but the cheapest
of all the cheap things is the Grant
Monument Association, when it APP
peals to the old men who are totter-
ing near the verge of the grave,
and denied many comforts, to each
give dollar to put in the enterprise
which is of no use to any man.
Too cheap for this age.
