CHICAGO IN 1847.

CHICAGO IN 1s47.
A young Englishman, who had been
roughing it in the west in that year,
made these observations as he journeyed
toward the coast:
cat Peoria we were transferred to
stage coaches, and suffering martydom
of shaking and bad living on the road
if road it can be called-we arrived at
last at Chicago-the city, that is to
be, of the Lakes, and which may be
called the City of Magnificent Inten-
tions
"Chigago, or Chicago, is situated at
the southwestern corner of Lake Michi-
gan, and on the lake shore. In spite of
the pasteboard appearance of it's houses,
churches, and public edifices, all of wood,
it is a remarkably pretty town, it's streets
wide and well laid out; and it will doubt.
less, after it has been burned down once
or twice, and rebuilt of stone or brick,
be one of the finest of the western cities.
It has several excellent hotels, some of
which are of gigantic dimensions, a
theatre, court house, and an artificial
harbor, constructed at the expense of the
city.
"a canal is in course of construction
in the state of Illinois, to connect the
waters of the lakes with the Mississippi
"a gigantic undertaking, but one which
will be of the greatest benefit to the
western country. When this canal is
completed, the waters of Lake Superior
will, therefore, communicate with the
Gulf of Mexico by way of the Mississippi,
as they do already with the North At
lantic by means of the Welland and Ri
deau canals, which pass through Canada;
and, even already, vessels have been
spoken in mid-ocean, built on Lakes
Michigan and Huron, cleared from Chi
cago, and bound for England, passing
an inland navigation of upwards of three
thousand miles"
Have not the "Chicago" papers been
saying that the summer of 1901 has wit
messed the first clearance of vessels from
that port to the United Kingdom?

quirements. There are many who have
the education required-some of them
are college graduates; but one is lazy
another is Of no account-has had sew
eral positions but has lost them; another
smokes cigarettes another is too top
loftical-too fine for the job; another
too much of sport; another too thick
headed; another too smart - would
know more, the first day of his employ
ment, about how the thing ought to be
done than the proprietor; another is
loud d-mouthed-has no manners. And
so on through the list.
Hunting Jobs.
The world is full of young men look
ing for jobs; jobs are standing open
eyed every day, looking for young men.
The reason that so many people are out
of employment is that so many people
are so trifing. A job is waiting some
where for the right man. 1t were bet
ter that every young man attend
ing school or college should direct
his studies in some particular course
toward some particular branch of work
which he purposes pursuing in after
life. But this is not essential to sue
cess. What is essential, however, is
that he indicate some disposition to take
hold right.
But, it is asked, how is a fellow ever
to make start if nobody will give him
work to start at? In some incompre-
hensible way this question finds an an
swer in practical life. The employer
in whose service it is worth while to be,
knows his man by some sort of an in
stinct; he will sometimes take all ugly
boy whom he never saw before and
who has no letters of recommends
tion in preference to a good-looking
youth with pocket-full of testimonials.
And he doesn't make many mistakes.
There is young man who has good
position in this town now because he
walked in one day and practically took
possession of it without leave-laid
violent hands on it, so to speak. The
proprietor saw at once that a fellow who
had that sort of will and way about
him would do, that he had elements of
usefulness in him, and it so turned out
at once.
Themselves to Blame.
Why is it that so many young men
who want or profess to want work don't
get it, while others drop into positions
with the duties of which they are un-
familiar as soon as they quit school and

ARE THE YOUNG MEN LIVING UP TO
THEIR OPPORTUNITIES?

THEIR OPPORTUNITIES?
An interesting symposium upon the
chances of young men at this stage of the
country's development, was published
in these columns few days ago. The
opinions were gathered by j. Sterling
Morton's paper, The CONSERVATIVE, of
Nebraska City, Neb, from number of
the most distinguished men of the
country in their respective lines of en-
deavor, and the weight Of the testimony
went to show that the opportunities of
young men were never before so good.
It stands to reason. There was never
as much doing in the country as now;
it's every interest is expanding, andnew,
hitherto unthought-of interests are be-
ing developed in mems brains and TAX
ing practical form. These call for new
men, while in the ordinary vocations Of
life, which are daily broadening, the
pace is hotter, the competition sharper,
than ever before. In saying this we are
not unmindful that to a large extent
trusts have stifed competition; but the
trusts themselves need many men and
offer great opportunity to those who are
capable. 1t is not forgotten, either, in
speaking of the increase in the number
and magnitude of the country's interests,
that it's population is increasing also,
but population does not keep pace
in it's increase with the extension of
business-the bank clearings from year
to year and the statistics of the govern
ment departments establish this fact.
Wider Field.
Under this state of facts it is fair to
say that the field of opportunity for
young men was never so wide as it is at
present. Ave they living up to their
privileges? Are they prepared or pre-
pairing for what they might achieve?
1t is doubtful. Witness: There is in
Charlotte a gentleman who has for
months been looking for young man,
say from 1s to % years old, with view
to his employment. The young man
need not be a. college graduate, but
must have fair English education, cor
rect habits and civil manners. For
such a young man there is an oppor-
tunity to make a start, at a compensa-
tion which will afford good deal more
than a mere living from the beginning,
in an honorable occupation, the posi-
bilities in which are limited only by the
mans capacity. No one need ask the
Observer who the man is, wanting this

Themselves to Blame.

Why is it that so many young men
who want or profess to want work don't
get it, while others drop into positions
with the duties of which they are un-
familiar as soon as they quit school and
are ready to begin life's work? "The
fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars
but in ourselves" Every young man
is making a record in the eyes of his
elders every day, always in little acts it
may be, but the record is making just
the same, and the character and Ca
pacity of the record maker are judged,
not by any one act or any dozen, but by
the sum total. And this aggregate de-

BLAZE AT ARLINGTON.
Oil Mills Came Near Destruction. Only an
Office Burned.

A few mornings ago, says an
Arlington press dispatch, fire alarm
was sent in from the direction of the
Arlington oil mill and Immediately the
fire department was on the scene put
ting forth every effort TO eXtlnguls b
the flames, which were destroying the
pretty office of the company, but In
vain. The building was divided into
several offices and in one of these
there was closet which was used by
some of the workmen for changing
their clothing, and the presumption is
that some one either had been smok-
ing and left fire on their clothes or
matches in their pockets, and the
blaze started from that. Before the
discovery was made the top of the
closet had burned through and the
blaze was raging in the top of the
house. The wind was blowing strong
gale from the east and saved the oil
mills and several other houses, which
won Id have entailed loss of about
$50. 600. AS it was, the loss amounted
to a bout 81 500.

A young woman, as sensible as she

The young acting governor is Miss
Agnes Montgomery Gill. She has been
an attache of the executive office for
two years and is quite familiar with
the routine of official work.
When Governor VOORHEES,, his private
secretary and the executive clerk left
for Buffalo to attend the fair, the gov
ernor told Miss Gill that she would be
expected to look after the state while
he was away. She smiled and said she
would do her best.
When it became known that the
young woman was acting governor,
state officials, heads Of departments,
clerks and others found occasion to
visit the executive chamber and to adj
| dress Miss Gill as miss Governor"
Here are some of the official acts of
the young woman since she assumed
office:
Replied I'D communications which
carried the governors signature.
Granted commissions to notaries pub

Declined Invitations to dine.
Prepared executive memoranda in

Granted requisition sought by the
