His WRIT Glimpse Of 1t.

A Chicago man who is fortunate
enough to live up on the north shore
where the sun chimes and the birds
sing has boy between and 4 years
old, who had never been down town
until one day last week, when his ia
ther brought him down on an elevated
train. The child was delighted at
what he saw from the window of the
car while it sped along high above the
heads of the people in the street. At
Chicago avenue the elevated road
curves so that the trains run east and
west, and here the child, looking from
the car window, had his first glimpse
of the business district of his native
city. He looked, full of wonder for a
moment, and then asked: Father,
what makes all the smoker" So l. will
be understood that right here in Chi
cego there are people who do not fully
understand what Mayor Harrison is
doing for the city.-Chicago Record

that all classes Of people like to
