EXHIBIT B.-THE BUSINESS NAN.
l was talking to the head of great
business house in his private Office. l
asked him what he thought of the fu-
ture of Chicago. He said. "My boy,
Chicago is 1T. In ten years this little
old town is going to be the biggest
city in the world. 1t will have two
seaports on two oceans. New York
will be our eastern seaport and San
Frandisco the western. The town is
moving like hungry coyote after a
jack rabbit. We've got all the picture
cards in the deck, and in a few years
more well raise old New York out OF
her boots. The trouble with you fel-
lers is that you're too wise. You
think you're the works. Little old
Chicago is playing 'em right close up,
but she never misses a trick. Don't
ever let anything joggle that out Of
your mind. Chicago's the real thing.
Understand? A three-ringed circus,
menagerie and lemonade stand. And
that's no lie"
EXHIBIT C.-THE STOCK BROKER.
ask ed big stock broker of the
condition OF the market. He said,
Not much doing. Spring wheat is
leary and you'd better keep off the
grass. May corn looks kind of good
to me. Might trifle a few. But the
best thing in sight is X. r. w. and G.
P. preferred. Ny boy, just frisk your
self, and If you've any little tin pieces
laying around loose with the picture
of lady on one side and an eagle on
the other, just grab 'em up in your
two fists'and go down the street on the
jump and grab all that stock in sight.
That's right. Get next to it and then
stick, stick, stick"
EXHIBIT D.-A CHICApo ALDERMAN.
I asked Chicago alderman in re-
gard to the proposed street car fran.
chise which was before the council.
He said, "Ah, it's cinch. Go troo?
Sure. Dere's lot O. guys yell bloody
murder every time anyboddie here

'em yell. This towns full O. gazaboos
that put up belch no matter what's
doin'. We're standin' by the peepul.
Am right! Sure I'm right. Pm al.
ways right"
EXHIBIT E.-IN SOCIETY.
1 was dining one night at little
dinner party given in my honor at one
OF the fashionable homes in the city
One lady was speaking OF a Chicago
woman that all the other guests
seemed to know. "I saw Mrs. So.
and-So at party last night" the lady
said.
Indeed" !" said another, "Why, shes
only been Dakotied about four days"
"She must be punching her hits."
said fair faced debutante.
Bunching them." spoke up ano.
ther, "well. she'll be in the sere and
yellow pretty soon. She's got to
hurry"
"Pardon me-" l said, "will some
one please translate"
At another dinner one OF the most
popular men at the table was bright
young fellow whom l bad met at the
club. He talked at the dinner party
quite like he did at tho club and the
ladies seemed much amused at what
he said.
"O." he ratified along, "you haven't
seen Earnings lately, have you. Well,
it's long story, but listen. You
know that Marnley girl. Three weeks
ago and old Earnings and the sun.
shine Of the house Of Marnley were
strangers yet and nothing doing.
Then it happened. Everything was a
summers day dream until over at
Kenner's one night up came old Larn.
ings and l had to do the git to know
me lady fren' act. And that was the
place in the third act where your
Uncle Ike went away back by the
door and assumed . sitting posture.
Earnings mixed it from the start and
now it's all over but the white ribbons,
up the chancel aisle, and the old
shoes and the rice. Fine business"
How interesting" said one lady.
IL thought that that Remmers girl
had Earnings hooked, pulled in, and
hung over the side of the boat to dry.
He must have wriggled of the hook"
Well" said . debutante, al never
would feel sure that I had any man
for keeps unless got him home with
his feet nailed down to the floor"
90" said another, eagerly, "drive
him up tree and shoe him back
every time he comes down. That's
the way my big sister has done with
Congressman Tanning"
said nothing at this dinner party.
l speak only English. French, and
Italian, and was afraid that might
not be understood in one of these
languages.
The Chicago man read over the re.
port OF the New York visitor.
"What do you say now," asked the
New York man in triumph.
Say" echoed the Chicago man,
"why I'd say that they were all
stringing you. It's plain case"
But the New York man thinks lie
has established his point.
