LIVING PERMANENTLY IN CHI
CAGu


We are assured by a trustworthy
gentleman, writes Eugene Field in the
Chicago Record, "that if William D.
Howells We're properly approached he
could be induced to come to Chicago
and live here permanently" No doubt
he could, if properly approached, but
the way to DO it would doubtless
be to approach him from behind with
Il bludseOn. Does any one live per.
manently in Chicago? Does the send-
ment Of permanency really accrue
there, even after 4 residence Of several
decades? Mr.. Field has lived there for
some years. and might tell perhaps, If
he would. In this age of railroads and
steamships and trolleycars permanen-
cy is a scarce commodity. Everything
and everybody moves on. To live
permanently even in Baltimore or Bos-
ton is an achievement; to live perma-
nently in New York il an aspiration
while to live permanently in Chicago
what shall we call it? A dream,
perhaps, which may possibly some
time come true, if it doesn't degen-
crate into a nightmare There was 8
man once who declared that the world
was 20 better than a boarding house
anyway. He might have said, if be
had tried Chicago, that life there was
ike boarding in an apartment in the
Ferris Wheel.-Harper's Weekly.

MATRRIoNY IN MASSACHUSETTS,

Reasons Why Yankee Women Have
Long Outnumbercd the Men.
The excess of women over men has
long been a feature of the population
statistics of Massachusetts, and since
MormoniSm is not permitted TO flourish
in that progressive state the natural
effect Of this feminine surplus has
been an unusual number Of old maids.
The cause, says the New York Press, is
probably Horace Greely's advice to
young men or the subject Of going
west me Massachusetts young man
has been going west ever since, but
we decline to believe that it IS his
fault that the Massachusetts young
woman has not gone west with him.
She stayed behind, not that She loved
the Massachusetts young man less, but
that she loved Massachusetts more, es-
peciauy Boston. But as the MaSsachu-
setts young woman who did not 20
west with the young man Of Horace
Greely's day became an old maid she
missed the young man. She was left
TO lavish the wealth Of affection upon
cats, birds and other pets. And thus
IT happened that a Massachusetts old
maid. having nobody else to leave her
fortune to, recenlT left it 70 her pet
