CHICAGO MAGNATEs OF OLD.
EARLY Citixens, Broken by Fires and
Financial Panics, Are Still
On Deck.

Now and again they are seen in the
resistless tide of travel on the streets
of the city Of to-day. Those who have
watched Chicago's rise from great
acreage of ash pits to potential me-
tropolis know them and are glad to
greet them, for they are people OF
more than passing interest, these mag
mates of past days, says the Chronicle
They do not 60 back to earliest Chi
cago, to the Kinzie period, nor were
they interested in the ventures which
resulted in making the little settlement
on Lake Michigan prosperous city.
But they are of the men who contrib
uted to the most important epoch OF
the city's history; the men who, after
the close of the civil war and up to the
great fire of 1871 and for nearly ten
years thereafter, were the active forces
in the great oncoming life of the city
they had done so much to create.
No sooner were they on their feet
again after the fire and involved in the
debt incidental to rebuilding the city
than the bad times of 1873 and 1874
struck and shook them up badly while
! the succeeding panic of 1877 closed out
many of them completely. Burned out
in middle life and in the full fruition OF
their life's business, dead broke, for
many of them had insurance that was
not worth the having, and which paid
but few cents on the dollar, victims
of fire, bankruptcy and two financial
panics within 4 dozen years; what
pluck and grit these Chicago men have
shown, for quite number of them are
III business to-day.
Those who are not, who no longer
arc in the swim and with the tide OF eff
fort, they come downtown yet, but it
isn't with the vim and push of the old
days. Some of them are well to DO
and members of the clubs, but the club
doesn't satisfy them any more. Ger
tain corners in the rooms hold ghosts
for them, wraiths of old chums who
have gone on before. So they take a
stiff drink and try to. forget. Others
of the "old guard" not so we'll off in
the luxuries of bank accounts, car
riages and clubs, can be seen on the
great streets in fine weather. They
like to linger around the blocks in the
very center of town. They have known
and quoted the value of every foot of
this land for 40 years. To them each
street is full of the history of intense
human effort and every block has its
story. They peer into the faces of the
thousands who pass them and the
crowds which surround them in the
restaurants and stores, and to each and
all, rich and poor alike, the day gener-
ally ends with the same sad impress
sion translated thus: "In all the
thousands on the streets to-day not one
familiar face. Not soul knew me.

He read vast truth in her deep, despair

fought my love for you. have gloried
in it's growth. I'd rather go to prison
with you than to J. palace with any
other man."
The road was very shady; large trees
was interlaced overhead. He had a
strong inclination to clasp her in his
arms, but he did not give in to it; he told
himself that his bloodstained hands
should not pollute her being. Already
he was taking advantage of her in al
lowing her to drive with him when to
be seen with him at such time would
excite widespread comment. He made
no answer to what she had just said and
in looking in her face he saw that her
eyes were full of tears.
''What is the matter?" he asked.
Her breast heaved convulsively.
''It has occurred to me that am driv-
ing you to prison." she said. simply.

He would have comforted her if he
could, but there was nothing in his

peared in front of them. 1t was Capt.
Winkie, riding like an Englishman, ris-

trotting horse brought him swiftly
nearer he lifted his hat and bowed to
Evelyn. Evidently he had recognized
Ronald and he showed much surprise.
Looking back our hero saw that he had
refined his horse in and was staring
after them in a bewildered fashion.

Lewis and Clark.

A mighty team were these two. Truly
their works live after them.
1t is nearly 100 years since they started
on that great exploration fathered by Thos
Jefferson, up the Missouri and down the
Columbia rivers, crossing the mountains
between, and the results Of it and the deep
interest in it still lives.
Their first winter--1sO4-5-was spent
among the Mandan Indians; the winter of
1866 they passed near the mouth Of the
Columbia river among the Clatsop Indians.
They crossed the Rocky mountains at five
different places and Travelled sometimes in
canoes, sometimes ON horseback, sometimes
afoot, and covered about 10, 900 miles in all.
Their adventures proved truth to be as
strange as fiction; their discoveries were OF
the greatest Importance.
Wonderland 1900 just issued by the
Northern Pacific Railway Co. is largely de-
voted to Lewis and Clark exploration, and
is the only popular and reliable narrative
Of that expedition recently published.

With head bowed like an OK draw

sounded in his ears-the dead mans

photographed on his brain.

erunciate the words, but his tongue
seemed to have swollen in his mouth.
Suddenly that happened which at that
moment he would have died to obvi-
ate. He saw the yellow pony-cart
from Carnleigh, and its sole occupant
was Evelyn Hasbrooke. He stopped
in the middle of the road and stood
staring at her as one paralyzed. See

"But way?" her glance shifted from
his revolver to his rigid face.
He hcsitated. and then it occurred
to him that he might as well tell her

Il from his own lips than to get a dis

sambo and the Fresh ma n.

An American writer tells good story OF
his college days. 1t relates to negro, gar
dener, jolly fellow, with whom the boys
used to have considerable sport. Sometimes
he would floor them with his repartee.
One day in spring Sambo had been burning
the college green in order to get rid of the
old withered grass. A freshman came along,
and, thinking to have some fun, shouted:
''Say, there, Sambo, you ought not to burn
that stuff"
"Why?" inquired Sambo. .,,
Because" replied the freshman, it'll

Her face was as full Of agony as her
shrill voice when she said:
'You don't mean that you have-?"
He nodded. ''They are removing the

afraid Of me! I had to do it; he would
have killed me. Perhaps it would have
been better if he had. I have always
thought I'd rather die than kill man,
even in defense of my own life, but in
the heat of the fight did not look at
it that way. All wanted was to hit
him-to hit him in the heart before he
could kill me-"
Every muscle in her body seemed to
lend an ear to what he was saying.
The reins fell from her inert fingers.
"Oh Ronald" (she had never called
the name aloud before, and it thrilled
him to the center of his benumbed
being), 'for Gods sake, tell me it is
not trre-there must be some mis-
take"

Animal Actors.

The training of animals OF different
species to act together upon the stage,
or in the ring, is an art especially -four
ishing at present in Paris. Horses and
dogs are found to be the most tractable
when trained together. A trainer at
the celebrated Nouveau Cirque has,
after two years of effort, brought out
horse and four dogs, which, together
with the trainer himself, perform a
serpentine dance to the sound of
music. One dog dances between the
horses fore legs, another between its
hind legs, and third rides on its back,
while the horse itself dances. and the
fourth dog dances between the legs OF
the dancing trainer.

these is the matching of Oscar Roberts

will get all the purse besides consid-

are handy with the rope. Roberts
was an unsuccessful contestant at

the crowd and made him lose consid-

testant and lost his chances by miss
