POTTER PALMER, OF CHICAGO
He Is Much More than the Husband
of Famous Woman,


of a Famous Woman,
The newspaper reading world knows
much about Mrs. Potter Palmer, of
Chicago. She sprang before the public
eye as the president of the Woman's
Board Of Managers of the Worlds Fair.
More recently, her successful manage
ment of the love affairs of Count Can
tacuzene and Miss Julia Grant, her
niece, has kept alive the public interest
In this forceful and attractive woman.
Like Mary Ellen Lease, she eclipsed
her husband, of whom little ever ap-
pears in print. And yet Potter Palmer
Is great business man, one of the real
makers of Chicago and power in the
financial world-one of those silent
forces, which contribute so much to
the worlds progress.
Potter Palmer was young man
when he located in Chicago fifty years
ago. He invested few thousand dol
lars in a dry goods store and soon had
the cream of the city trade. His sur
plus cash went into real estate and the
soil was fertile. He was a wealthy
man when, at the close of the war, he
took into partnership with him Mar
shall Field and Levi Letter. State
street, now Chicago's leading thor
oughfare, was then a narrow, dirty
lane. Lake street was the commercial
center. Potter Palmer proposed to
make State street the commercial CEN
ter. Men ridiculed him, but he went
over to the despised street, bought a
mile OF frontage and commenced build
ing commercial palaces. His firm oc-
cupied the first and other firms quick
ly took others. When the fire Of 1871
came, Potter Palmer owned thirty-two
buildings ON State street. All were de-
stroyed. He borrowed $3000,O00 and
rebuilt them, better and stronger than
before. Then he looked about for 4
spot where he might build home.
What Is now the magnificent boulevard
known as the North Shore drive was
then heap Of sand. Here he built and
sold adjoining property to the best
class of people. The boulevard Is the
result. Then he built the Palmer
House, Chicago's finest hostelry in his
day, which it is now said he will tear

RUTHLESS SLAUGHTER.
The Beers Have Killed Over 10000
Graceful Giraffes.

The Beers Have Killed Over 10000
Graceful Giraffes.
The creditable work of the Beers in
freeing South Africa of the dreaded
lions, which roamed in such numbers
that life was rendered unsafe anywhere
In the country, is offset by their ruth
less destruction of the giraffe from
Cape Colony to the Botletli River. If
they killed 5000 lions in the Transyaal
before existence was made safe, they
aave killed ~ $50 of the innocent, grace
full giroffes. In the early days of South
African history the giraffe was the
most abundant game in the Transvaal,
Matabeieland and Orange Flee State,
but the creature has been killed off like
our American buffalo, and the few re-
naming representatives of noble race
gradually driven north. For years past
the giraffe has been profitable quarry
for the Boer hunters, and the animal
was valued by them only because the
hides were articles of commercial use.
They were pot hunted, shot down in
droves, and destroyed in the greatest
number possible in every direction.
A good giraffe skin is worth from $40
to $40 in South Africa to-day, and much
more in Europe. On their hunting trips
10 and 10 years ago 1t was common
matter for one hunter to kill 40 and so
Of these graceful animals in one day.
The reason for this Is that the giraffe
Is the most innocent of animals and Is
easily hunted. 1t is absolutely defense
less, ana there is hardly Ii case ON
record where wounded giraffe turned
upon the hunter. 1t is true giratfes
have great powers Of speed, and they
can dodge rapidly from tree to tree In
the woods, but they offer such a fair
mark that these tactics hardly ever
save them.
The hide of the animal is its chief
article of value. No wonder that the
bullets often fail to penetrate this skin,
for 1t Is from three-quarters to an inch
thick, and as tough as 1t is thick. The
skin, when cured and tanned, makes
excellent leather for certain purposes.
The Beers make riding whips and san
dals out of the skins they do not send
to Europe. The bones Of the giraffe
have also a commercial value. The leg
bones are solid instead of hollow, and
in Europe they are in great demand for
manufacturing buttons and other bone
articles. The tendons of the giraffe are
so strong that they will sustain an
enormous dead weight, which gives to
them pecuniary value.

Pacific ne got 1000, 1000 acre. of land ini

racine ne got 100000 acres Of land IN
Iowa. For completing the Iowa Falls
and Sioux City Road he obtained 7OO,-
600 acres. With all this land on his
hands MIR. Blair formed land companies,
and these companies, under his direc-
ton, laid out the sites for what are now
more than 100 tiourishing cities and
towns In the West. At one time he
was the largest land owner in the Uni
ted States. 1t was in 1860 that he un-
dertook railroad building in the West.
In that year he was sent as n delega te
to the Chicago convention which NOM
mated Abraham Lincoln for the Presi-
dency.
A few years ago Mr.. Blair, with con-
siderable pride, made the statement
that he had built every road with
winch he had ever been connected for
cash and without putting dollars
worth OF Its stock on the market to raise
money. He calculated that in his rail.
road operations he had spent $26,OOO,.
600, all Of which he either advanced
himself or raised among his friends.
The fortune left by Mr.. Blair is not less
than $6O,OO0,00O and may reach $7O,.
100000.
His home in BlairstOwn, which he
founded, was simple one for one with
such vast possessions. AS his millions
came to him he never thought of leav-
Ing his two-story frame house, with
Its green shutters and the cupola in the
center Of the fiat roof That was suffi-
cient. So he lived to the end of his life,
simple and homely, hating ostentation
ana loving ana being loved in return
by everyone who dwelt in his town. An
enthusiastic Republican, in 1868, his
party made him candidate for Gov
ernor, but he was beaten at the polls.
The campaign cost him $4,000.

POTTER PALMER,

down In the near future and erect in its
stead a commercial palace.
These are few of the things he has
done for Chicago. He has never de-
sired political honors, never sought
them. He might have won honors in
this field, but they were not to his lik-
ing. He has preferred to be the simple
business gentleman, eager for the well
fare of his city, building always for the
public veal as well as his own good.
His later years are spent in the midst
of artistic surroundings of his ex-
quisite home. There has always been
in his nature that vein of sentiment
which never desired that Chicago
should be Of the material only. Parks,
boulevards, art treasures, music have
to him always seemed as much legiti-
mate part of the being of the city as
mercantile establishments and steam
roads. He has enriched Chicago in
this direction also.

Pet SUPERSTITIONS.

Some that Influence Mostly All Sorti
of People.
DR.. Samuel Johnson would never
enter a room left foot foremost; the
brave Marshal Sake screamed in terror
at the sight of cat; Peter the Great
was not equal to crossing a bridge
when he came to it, unless to do so was
absolutely necessary; Byron shared
with less famous people than he the
dislike to having the salt at table spill
ed between him and his neighbor. A
sneeze is with half the nations of the
world nothing to be sneeZed at. To eX-
claim God bless you" when any one
sneezes in your presence is a relic of
what the Roman did before us, and be-
fore him the Greek. Mohammed gives
directions of the same kpd to his fol-
lowers and the Hindu of to-day utters
his pious ejaculation after the sneeze
by way of prayer or good wish on be-
half of the victim.
Many people will avoid going under a
ladder If they can get around it. The
belief that if you put on your stocking
the wrong side out it is lucky Is very
general, or was until the schoolmaster
returned from abroad; and | myself
remember an old woman who was con-
vinced that turning her stocking inside
out saved her from being lost when the
fairies, one p.tch-dark night, had mis-
led her on trackless English moor.
What Is to take the place of lucky
horseshoe when we all ride in automo-
biles? There is no room for the i'm
agination in them. Some new mascot
will have to be discovered. Charms Of
one kind or another are carried by peo-
pie that have a pious contempt for hea-
then supersttious; a small potato, for
example to avert rheumatism, or a
chestnut. The late journalist, George
Augustus Sala, never Travelled without
carrying with him, as "A lucky card, an
ace of spades. Somehow it failed to
save him from his creditors. But

Automobiles Will Continue Too Ex-
pensive for Common Use.
When the bicycle became so popular
several years ago the enthusiasts claim
ed that the death knell of the horse had
been sounded They argued that it
didn't cost anything to keep bicycle,
while horse, when he wasn't being
used, was eating his head off. But the
horse survived and the bicycle fell from
popular favor. Now the automobile
appears on the scene, and weagaln hear
talk of a h)rseless age. "To be sure.
the automobile is very expensive as
yet" the enthusiast will tell you, "bur
that condition of affairs cannot last
long. See how the bicycle was forced
down in price" Then he will tell you
that the horse Is doomed. He forgets
that the mere cost Of an automobile Is
only an item. A Philadelphia lawyer,
who has just returned from Paris,
which Is automobile crazy, says that
the cost of maintaining one would bank
rupt the ordinary citizen. "rhere are
plenty u CnOObt llOlI, he ichuihCuS
with steam, gasoline, petroleum or
electric motors. These range in price
from $500 for motor cycle to $4,000
for heavy rigs suitable for carrying
four persons and a driver While In
Paris | busted myself to the extent OF
finding out how much it cost to operate
one of these carriages. For year it's
about as follows: Gasoline, $3.50; lub-
ricatlng oil, $5.45; repairs to carriage,
$1O2.5O; repairs to machinery, $lS5:
repairs to tires, $3.50; sundries, $6I.80;
depreciation, $3.50; tax, $50; servant,
5000. That makes total of $S72.75.
Remember, this Is for Paris, where my
calculations are based upon the actual
experience of a friend of mine. But
they can't vary much In this country

WEAPONS OF ANIMALS
Claws, Teeth, Horns and Hoofs All Come
Handy at Times

Claws, Teeth, Horns and Hoofs All Come
Handy at Times.
Many animals, including both those
that kill and those that are killed, are
endowed with special means of offensive
and defensive combat. The latter are
often furnished with weapons of effec-
tive value, such as the horns of cattle
and goats and the hoofs of horses, says
the Philadelphia Times.
Even some of the largest animals,
which are not carnivorous and may be
said to have no enemies, possess special
organs that they can use for inticting
wounds. Such are the tuSks of the
elephant, the horn of the rhinoceros
and the antlers of the moose. Their
primary purpose, however, Is to aid in
procuring food and in cleaving way
through forest and jungle.
With beasts and birds of prey weap:
ons of attack are indispensable.
Among the most highly developed are
the retractile claws of the cat family,
the cutting and tearing teeth of the wolf
family and the talons of eagles and
hawks. Even in lower forms Of life we
find highly specialized weapons, ch eff
among which are the fangs Of venom
Gus serpents and the stlngs Of bees,
wasps and hornets, rendered far more
effective by the presence of powerful
and sometimes deadly poison.
While noting the liberal endowment
Of creatures that prey upon animals,
we must not lose sight Of the fact that
certain vegctarians are also well equip
ped with weapons of combat. The
males of the bovine and the goat tribes
in the wild state use these weapons
largely in their combats with rivals Of
| their own species, while the females
employ them chiefly in defense Of their
young.
The bull fights with the head down,
often with the eyes closed; and the
horns, being usually short and nearly
straight, can be used only one at n time,
aided by the toss of the powerful neck
The horns of the COW in all the COM
moner breds are turned somewhat for
|
and the faithful mother fights for her
calf against dog or wild beast with her
head raised and eyes wide open.
A stag brought to bay sometimes
presents his antlers to the hunter. With
some species these branching horns are
shed at certain seasons, and during
their renewed growth are for time
soft and useless as weapons. They gain
strength and toughness at the season
when rivalry and battles between the
males are in order, and it is, therefore,
natural to infer that the antlers are
intended chiefly for this purpose.
Against many foes however, man in
cluded, the deer family find their best
weapons in their hoofs, with which
they strike and cut as with knives,
sometimes killing dogs, wounding hunt
ers and at other times cutting coiled
rattlesnakes into pieces.

II you want to please the men,
Daughter mine;
Learn a little bit OF art,
Some good poetry by heart,
Languages to wit impart,
Music fine.
Know the proper way to dress,
How to comfort and caress,
Dance a little, gossip less,
Daughter mine.
If you want to please the men.
Daughter mine;
Study how to make cake,
Learn to stew and boil and bake.
Say you cook for cooking's sake,
How divine
Be housewife all the rest
Counts but little, truth confessed,
Such girls always marry best,
Daughter mine.
