 Dear Mayor Gaynor:-I was in your city one time and did not have no money. l stayed one night as the guest of the city, and I send you scme stamps for pay. I had frozen feet. I asked out and did not work for pay. This was five or six years ago"

TAX LIEN SHARK
 GOT BUSY QUICK
Judge GrOsscup's Home Sold During
 His Absence for Taxes.

Chicago, Aug. 13.-The tax lien make summer sojourns abroad even more expensive than the trips, Monte Carlo and milliners already have made it, Judge Peter s. Grosscup's $5O,00O mansion being among those reported sold for taxes during their owners absence (Judge Grosscup en- tering denial)
 According to County Clerk Hen dee the classic pile built by Judge Grosscup on Sheridan drive, facing Lake Michigan, was sold for $424.S2 unpaid taxes, but promptly redeemed. The purchaser affirms he bought the lien and made 25 per cent inside of a week. Another victim of tax sales is said to be Oliver l.. Watson, real estate speculator. Even this terror added to those devised by railway and hotel officials does not serve to keep the wer1-to-do of Chicago at home.
 Never before has there been such an exodus to all parts of the world, but particularly to Europe, where the passion play at OberaWmergan has been a star attraction. A roll call of captains of industry and learers of so- ciety would have few responses-the Armours' Swifts, Pullmans, Palmers, Letters and the rest being abroad "as matter of course,' while teachers are there and thousands of others as matter of helping, saving and self denial.
