The following letter has just

Midway Plaisance Chicago, Oct. 81.
ED. APPEAL:-I did not find the
true Midway Piaisance until yeseer
day. The place | had been during
ali the week proved to b. merely one
of the hucksters avenue that leads
toward the Fair, and swarms with
faikers of all nationahties and 'creeds
from California, New Jersey, Indi-
ana and elsewhere.
nyested in a ~ chair for the
first time last eve-ug. They are
very light and as 1 pushed it along
ahead of me and rested my tired
hands aud arms on the cross bar in
the rear it gave restful feeling to
my weary sholders and elbows l had
not experienced for several days. 1t
did not however bring that sense of
comfort to the feet that l had been
led to expect.
| afterwards learned that | could
have set down in it without paying
any more.
In the Public Comfort Building,
which is much frequented by ladies'.
| rescued tall ami beautiful blonde
from terrible dilemma. \ mouse
ran across the floor in a vicious
and riotious manner causing great
rustling of skirts chair climbing and
faintlng. Catching the Keeling blonde
in my arms / shouted to the ladies |
was there, and helped my charge out
of the building. When refreshed
with drink of hot clam juice from
the Rhode Island exhibit the trem-
bling creature told me that she must
hurry away as she had to do a lion
tanning act on the Plaisance at 2, 80
Later in the day saw her banging
a Numidian lion over the head with
the butt of riding whip and also
kick the posterior of a Bengal tiger
all over the ring, amid the vocifer-
Gus applause of the delighted pop
ulace.
One of the pleasant features of a
stroll down the Plaisance is feeling
that one can purchase souvenirs of
all the foreign booths without violat-
ing any of principles of that protect
ion to home industry, so ably ex-
emplifel by the late James G.
Blaine. 1 always spend my creditors
money at home in home products and
when | purchased genuine Damas-
Gus blade 360 years old l knew that
the Aurora cutlery works got its
whack at my dough and the black
thorn shelaleh from the Barney
Castle with true Donegal mob on
the end came from the same Con-
neticut forest l played hockey in as
child.
l think however that got fooled
on Turkish rug which | brought
back to my hotel. 1t proved to be
filled with the genuine Algerian bed
bug, hidden away so deity between
the meshes of the cloth as to escape
the scrutiny of the Custom House
officers. In spite of the ATTEMPT OF
few of the foreign element to in,
troduce their wares into this country
/ am happy to say that American
enterprise and industry has proven
fully equal to the situation,
The Illinois souvenir factories have
been running to their fullest capacity
all summer on Arabian spoons, Sen
agambian brooches, East Indian doc
mats, Javanise coca-nut-husk unde
ware, Easter bonnets of hand painted
gourds from South Africa, Berlin
beer mugs of Milwaukee pressed clay
