CHICAGO, May 3l.-The outbreak Of spring runaways in Chicago Is more acute this year than ever before although the number has been grow ing larger year by year. One boz wrote to the postmaster of town in the Texas Panhandle saying Dear Sir: Do you want to hire any cowboys? I can ride, rope and shcOt well enough to take care of EIysslt Age, I9. Can take another fell " cut if you say so. State wages aLd when to go out" But the dreams of wild
 Nding cowboys and se7el-snDO'cr
 was given a cold shock, for the postmaster replied: Let me shatte
 the hope that, mayhaps, has filled your young life with visions of rO' nance, of wild rides across endless leagues of blossoming prairies, oi laundering hoof and clashing horns of maddened herds in midnight stan
 pedes. of panting horses and swish
 ing lariats, of red handed outlaw
 battling to hold their booty in tho
 granite recesses of clif~Jorderef gorges There are no fair and oulS daughters of cattle kings whose res
 cue from desperate bands of low
 browed ruffians will win for you e: easy life and happy home. The poet ry of life has lost it's metric measure in the golden West, and your letter came forty years too late to secure for you a situation that would ad just its facts to your fancies. It may surprise you, Harry, and cause you tNe natural pain that Accompanies ev' cry stern disallusionment, but it is essential to your proper conception of the difference between the Pan handle Of Texas which you have read about and the Panhandle as I know it, that you be told that the first exhibition of your skill as a manipu lator of the ostraeised six-shooter will cost you a hundred dollars and six months to a year in the county jail. You will not do any Buffalo 1 Bill mock heroics, but you can ride | a gang blow across those far spread 1 fields and you can watch the fragrani l breeze ripple the billowing harvestss that have sprung from fertile depths at the beck of your industry" Most of the runaways are boys headed to- ward the west, but each year the stern fact is learned that the runa way with little money can find only one result. a sentence to hard labor in fields where imagination pictures varied assortments of buffalo. ante lope and COW punchers.
 Big Beer Consumption.
 No other city in the world, ret even Berlin. can show the equal of Chicago's beer drinking record, ac- eording 10 data in the hands of mem bers of the vice committee. About one-half the population does the beer drinking, but that half has consumed about one million gallons daily in the phenomenally hot wealth CT which has prevailed during Nav This is firnred from the fact tha' there are 7.6o0 saloons and that each saloon sells on an average three barrels of beer per day in moderate weather During the days Of high temrerature the beer sales have bee- more than 30.OeO barrels a day Re gently a careful estimate was made by those familiar with the sales Of these saloons. Some were put dowT for to 9 barrels per day. and some for one only. Figuring the retail
 cost Of each glass at g. of a cent
 which is sold for cents, the cost or the beer thlrSt IS shown to TUT into hundreds of thousands of dollars per day, out of which the brewers profit, through ownership of the sa- looms as well as from profits in tho wholesale trade, are enormous. The figures serve to explain the fortunes the brewers have acquired. The vice commissions recent report found that"the most dangerous immoral if- fluence and most important financial interest aside from regular disord- erly houses are the disorderly sa- cont admitting women Four hun dred and forty-five such saloons were listed in the city and 929 unescortec women were found in them durinr the investigation. Another feature O
 the vicious saloons that is pointe out is the vaudeville show of improT- CT nature conducted in rear rooms
