THE story of Chicago, from the day of her original settlement by trap
pers and pioneers to the present, when she stands the second city
of the new world, reads like a romance, thrilling with details of
disaster and triumph embraced In the progress from a frail frontier
post to a great community holding within its limits nearly 3,000,000 souls.
Passing from the destruction and rebnildlng of Fort Dearborn to the station
ing of a new garrison there after the evacuation in 1S23, settlement was
again resumed In the vicinity of the post, interrupted at Intervals by the
Black Hawk War. On the termination of hostilities, toward 1836, the troops
were withdrawn permanently and the village of Chicago began to grow.
In 1837 a charter for the city of Chicago was granted by the General
Assembly of Illinois. The first municipal election was held and William B.
Ogden was elected Mayor. Two years before that a school census showed
a population of 3,279 in the town. Little enterprise, such as is so common In
these days, was then known, but the next decade developed great progress.
In 1841 the first water works were built; the next year the first propeller
was launched, the city's trade made giant strides, and In that year the
exports exceeded the imports. By 1844 the meat packing Industry got its first
start Progress was rapid after that; the first public school, the first theater
and other public institutions followed with the advent of each year. By
1856 Chicago was booming. In twenty years' time the population went from
4,000 to 90,000. The Federal census of 1800 showed the city had 109,203
inhabitants. By 1870 It had grown to nearly 300,000. Then came the fire
in 1871, when practically the entire city was destroyed. But the recovery
was phenomenal and In less than fifteen years the population was doubled.
The World's Fair gave the city a globe-encircling reputation.
During the years succeeding the exposition the most noteworthy feature
of Chicago, In addition to the expansion of her industries, commerce, finan
cial Institutions, educational and art developments, has been the improve
ment In the architecture and general character of the buildings erected for
business and other purposes. Beauty of architecture, thorough utilization
of space and substantial character, are the characteristics of the modern
structure that occupy nearly all the space In the downtown business district
of Chicago.

HOW TO HOLD YOUR FRIENDS
Live. Cheerful, Optimistic Qualities
Needed to Bind Them. : .
Those Who would make friends must
cultivate the qualities which are ad
mired and which attract. If you are
mean, stingy and Bullish nobody will
admire you. You must cultivate gener
osity and large heart eilness; you must
be magnanimous and tolerant; you
must have positive quulltles; for a neg
ative, shrinking, apologizing, round
about man is despised. Von must cul
tivate courage and boldness, for a
coward bus few friends, you must
believe in yourself. If you do not, oth
ers will not believe lu yo. You must
look upward, and be hopeful, cheery
and optimistic. No one will be at
tracted to a gloomy pessimist.
Tho moment a ninu feels that you
have a real, live Interest In his welfare,
and that you do not ask about his busi
ness, profession, book or article merely
out of courtesy, you will get his atten
tion and will Interest him. You will
tlo him to you Just In proportion to the
Intensity and unselfishness of your in
terest la him. Hut if you are selllsh
and think of nothing but your own
advancement; If you are wondering
how you can use everybody to help
you along; If you look upon every man
or woman you are Introduced to as so
much more possible success capital; If
you measuro people by the amount of
business they can send you, or the
number of new clients, patients or
readers of your book they can secure
for you, they will ltok upon you In the
same way. Success,
