Illuminated with electric lights of all

there is to be roof garden attached to

place of summer evening and will be
a novelty of surprising attraction.
People in. Chicago and other places
afflicted by the recent rains have been
advised to boil their drinking water
But, as a friend said to me the other
day, many people prefer to let the
breweries do the boiling for them. and.
considering the low price of beer,
owing to the beer war, this plan NAV
md some favor. There is some
complaint about an alleged in.
terior quality of the beer since
the war commenced. But one
thing is certain, all beers are boiled
considerable time, so the water is ster-
lllzed, whatever else there may be in it.
This is not a beer puff. Those who
have artesian well water will probably
continue to prefer it to most other bey.
erages.
The rainy season has some queer con-
sequences. There is a story told of a
man who came here at the time of the
recent democratic convention and in
the wee hours Of the morning was try
ing to find his hotel. He 'rnavigated"
up to a man who was going in the OPP
posite direction in condition similar
to that of this man, and asked him:
SHAY, stranger, is that up there the
sun or the moon?"
The other one leaned up against
lamp post and took long look at the
luminous object. Finally he said:
Dunno, m friend, I'm a stranger in
these parts myself"
That is a story for which | cannot
vouch. But the following is true: |
have a friend who never drank drop
of liquor in his life, honor bright. But
on the Fourth of July evening. one of
the first days we had without rain, we
took walk, and through the clouds
appeared little bright object
See the balloon therem exclaimed
my friend, pointing to it.
| could not see balloon.
Zone of those little toy balloons" he
explained, with fire under them to
heat the air and make them RISE"
l looked closely, following the direc-
ton in which he pointed.
That's a STAR" l said. "You have
forgotten what they look like"
After little he admitted that it was
star.
One OF the queer outgrowths Of the
worlds fair is the attempt recently be.
gun by the mayor to dislodge about a
dozen big and small excursion steamers
that have for years made their landing
place at the foot of Van Buren, street
on Lake Michigan. The Lake Front
park was turned over by the city to the
worlds fair, and the officers of this Or
ganization want to begin building
wharves and to carry out their contract
with the syndicate which received the
privileges for the exclusive right to
transport passengers by water to Jack
son park. So they want the lake front
and the mayor ordered the vessels to
move. But they would not move and
they are showing fight Some of the
oldest vesselmen in Chicago, like the
veteran Capt. John Prindiville, say they
can't make them move, because they
are on government waters. A small
riot occurred few days ago when the
police attempted to enforce the MAYORS
order. The legal fight is expected
with great interest.
