Cliicugrd's Hundred Years.
Ono hundred years ago Mon-
day Fort Deurborn, ou tne uni
caRO river, was formally estab
lished by Major Whistler.
There is difference of opinion as
to when the schooner Tracy,
Piirrviiiff Maior Whistler and
party, arrived at the mouth of
" . . TT I
the Chicago ' river, msiormus
.lin'or as to when the soldiers be
gan worlc on the new fart. It
has been claimed that juajor
vvhUtlor arrived July 3, 1S03,
and landod on the 4th to select
the site of the fort.
Another contention is that the
;ta f tho fort was' not def-
ivo v
initely agreed upon until the
arrival of the larger detachment
f troons under Lieutenant
Swearington.
Rnt there is ceueral agreemeni
that on the 17th of August, 1803,
n-nrt on the fort was begun, and
that after that date Fort Dear
born represented national au
thority in the district now in
cluded lu tho boundaries of Chicago.
Tho foundinz of Fort Dear
born wag tho real beginning of
Chicago. From August 17,
1803, tho mouth of the Chicago
river was a point of interest to
the American people. First the
fort, then the village, and then
the city of Chicago. This was
tho order of development of the
commercial metropolis of the
West.
It was thirty years from the
building of the first Fort Dear
born to the incorporated town
of Chicago, with a population of
150, but those thirty years had
been momentous ones for the
West. It was only four years
from tho incorporated town to
the city, twenty three years from
the city of 3,000 people to th
city of 100,000, and forty-three

When the trip was completed the
Rockefellers were I9G0 wealthier
than when he left th depot, as the
Rockefeller income is estimated to
be 100 a minute, day and nigbt,
year in and year out.
Mr. Rockefeller arrived at Denver
at 7:40 o'clock this morning. He
leaves at 9:30 to-night. Duriogthe
14 hours he spent in this city it is
estimated that the Rockefeller
fortune increased by $50,400.

But Does It Pay After All?
Joseph Ladue died the other day
in New York. Ladue was the man
who discovered the- Klondike.
Born in New York 1S54 he went to
the Black Hills at the age of 20
and began gold-hunting. Foryears
he wandered about, a poor tramp
nrnsneotor. alwavs hunting the
r I -
vpllnw metal. In.1885 he went to
Alaska, wandered ever the moun
tain passes for several seasons be
fore he found any gold of conse
quence. Finally he struck it rich,
laid out Dawson City, became a
millionaire and returned to New
York to '-eniov" his wealth! Here
four years later, died of consump
tion brought ou by exposure iu the
mines.
Out in Colorado Springs, lives
anolrer millionair.) who had much
the same career as Ladue. Stratton.
who discovered Cripple Creek gold
field after years of tramping and
prospecting, has there his home.
He is worn in body, lives in a big
house practically alone, is charit
able on the sly and devotes a large
share of his days to dodging beggars
and disease. .
Neither Ladue nor Stratton had
a home. Neither knew the joy of
family or the close ties ' which are
formed around the fireside. They
spent their lives in hunting gold
the lowest passion in which sensible
men can engage.

You admire this tower of granite,
weathering the hurts of so, many
ages. Yet a little waving hand
built this huge wall, and that which
builds is better than that which is
built.
The hand that builds, can tear it
down faster. Better the hand, and
nimbler, wasthe invisible thought
which wrought through it, and thus
ever behind the coarse effect, is a
fine cause, which, being narrowly
seen, is itself the effect of a finer
cause. Emerson.
