Chicago Record Herald: What a
splendid city this is" said the stranger
while he tried to get a distressing
cinder out of his eye.
II am glad" replied the prominent
citizen, Ito hear - say you like It,"
yes. Prosperity must be fairly
rampant here. The atmosphere is 80
charged with smoke that l have hard
ly been able to breathe since my ar
rival. Smoke, believ,, is considered
a sign of prosperity, is it not?"
Yes, wherever you find lots of
smoke you may be sure that the
wheels are turning
$50 have been told oefore. And I
notice that the street cars are horrib-
ly filthy-that is. on some lines. That
is another sign of prosperity, isn't N?''
Il don't quite understand why you
should consider filthy street cars a
sign Of prosperity"
why, If cars are filthy 1t is a sign
that many people ride in them, and if
they are clean it must follow that few
people use them. suppose that, with
all. the smoke and all the filth in the
cars which run ON these much patron
lied lines, you have such widespread
prosperity here that nobody is ever
called on to give for charity. If the
density of the smoke and the filth
ness of cars indicate the degree Of
prosperity which prevails in this town
at all--no slum district, no social un-
rest, no institutions for the care of
the INDECENT, No"
But the prominent citizen heard no
more. He had gone across the street
to inform a policeman that a lunatic
was at large and ought to be watched.
