ABOUT CHICAGO.

THE FUNNIEST. II


of friends accompanied the; Active and
Ladies' Glasses of the New Ulm Turn
verein to Chicago, recently, to attend
the national gymnastic tournament
there, was received too late for last
weeks issue of the Review.
"a New Ulmite Honored.
"A person must get away from home
to learn something worth while about
our citizens, present and past. One
of the first things we learned upon
arriving in the Windy City was that
Sam Lawellin had been elected presi-
dent of the National Association of
Miller Chemists, which recently met
in convention at Kansas City, Mo.
We were. told that this is very i'm
portant office and that anyone could
be proud of such an honor. Sam, in
his modesty, failed to let his friends
know how signally he had been
honored.
Praise for Robert Stocker.
1--WE were also told that Admiral
Benson of the United States Navy
who had been in Chicago during the
millers national convention, spoke
in the highest terms of Assistant Naval
Constructor Robert Stocker,@a former
New Ulmite. Practically all the naval
construction during and Immediately
preceding the World war was under
the supervision of our Robert Stocker,
but the man above him in rank got
the credit. Robert is another one of
our New Ulm boys who hides his
light under bushel.
Rooses Entertain New Ulnites.
C. L. Roos of wellington, Kansas
and Hugo Roos of Kansas City, Mo-,
were very much in evidence during the
millefs' national convention. Both
are royal entertainers and stand high
in miller circles. They even found
time to make it pleasant for some of
the New Ulm people attending the
funniest. & $50 ~ tf
"Windy City" is Right.
Chicago richly deserves the sobri-
quet Windy City" 1t is SO, figura-
lively speaking. There is also gentle
zephyr blowing most of the time and
that alone made conditions bearable
during the hot days that were with
us while the funniest lasted. Chicago
covers considerable spaces as those
found out, who tried to be at given
points on. schedule time, II N Il
Smells and iodors prevade the
atmosphere almost everywhere in the
heart of the city. Especially is this
true at the. market place, very
unique place, indeed. i&""
Skyscrapers in Evidence.
Wherever you look you. see sky
scrapers-one taller than the other.
They impress you especially at night.
AS you walk along the streets and
glance up at them, they seem unreal.
You seem to see only dark outlines
above the second and third stories,
with lighted window here and there.
They seem like apparitions and have a
ghost-like appearance.
Street-Car Service Punk.
Zone of the first things that you get
acquainted with is the street railway.
They charge fare of eight cents and
the passengers are. crowded into the
cars like sardines in box. Lowry of
the Town City Rapid Transit Co, may
be something of a hold-up artist, but
the Chicago Traction Co. has him
backed off the board. Whatever
Lowry's faults may be, he furnishes his
patrons with palatial cars. At any
rate, the Twin City street cars are
vastly superior to those in operation in
Chicago. sgs AZ Il. j, .3,.
Is Are After the Coin.
Then in other respects the Chicago.
ans know how to part their guests
from their money. When you pay
40 cents for glass of lemonade and
are charged two cents war tax besides,
you feel that $500 bill cannot last
very long. It is claimed that real
beer-the kind with kick to it. is OBJ
tainable;in Chicago. You are given to
understand that you can get the real
stuff and they almost convince you
that it, is ofsthe same old -fashioned
kind that made Milwaukee famous,
when they charge you 60 cents a
stein. The trouble with most'sof us
is that we have gotten 80 out Of
practice that we are really not able to
tell the bartender, with that degree of
positiyeness which one. should possess
in such cases, that the stuff is in
reality only very poor quality of
near beer.
Eats" Come High Also.
!" Eats at the swell restaurants
come high. One person, without half
exerting himself, can spend $3.50 for
one meal. # you are in hurry to
get somewhere, you hire taxi and in
about half anshour you cam blow fin'
another $3.50.
Brief Visit at Milwaukee.
