Now, Chicagoans are no less loyal to their city; but when you ask them why, they stammer and speak of lake fish and the new Odd Fellows Building. But Californians go into detail. Of course they have, in the climate, an argument that is good for half an hour while you are thinking of your coal bills and heavy underwear.
Brinkley's knife magic is the story of a surgeon's study and experimenting for nine years, ending with the successful accomplishment of the gland operation performed on thirty-six Chicagoans, who are alive and healthy today. The complete story, with laboratory data, the name of one of the prominent patients, and an authorized interview with Dr.
All that the figures can justly be taken to mean is that over three quarters of those in the selected groups rate rather low the attention they give to printed news of the outer world.

After which he continued with his original narrative: "It was like this," he said. "I made up my mind that I would take in a few of the points of interest in the city I ain't ever got around to. Being a Chicagoan, like most Chicagoans I ain't ever seen any of our natural wonders at all.
It was too far. They rode by street car three miles in order to return the half mile. The child was asleep when they reached home. "I drank sewer water," he observed to the housekeeper, speaking of the soda fountain, for sewer gas is a thing for Chicagoans to discuss with much learning. So Davy and David went on the rear lot to play ball.

An alderman, a well-known political figure, living on the Gold Coast, a judge, a prominent real estate man, a newspaper man, three women, one of whom is well known on the North Shore, and other Chicagoans, have found the lost Fountain of Youth as a result of the miracle-surgeon's transplanting the revivifying interstitial glands of a goat into their human bodies.

Then Milly explained her project at great length, growing more eloquent as she got deeper into the details of her conception, painting glowingly the opportunities of providing hungry Chicagoans with toothsome delicacies, and exhibiting a much more practical notion of the scheme than she had had of her other ideas.

Chicagoans who had denounced and spurned him as a traitor to his country in 1854 now gave him the greatest ovation that city had ever given to any one.

In fact, the people saw that his popular sovereignty idea had been misunderstood.
"I am like the people of the second Chicago, generally more intent on pleasure than business; but, nevertheless, I have a piece of business for you." "The second Chicago?" asked Lecocq. "And where is that, pray?" "Why, Paris, of course," said Speed. Lecocq laughed. "You are incorrigible, you Chicagoans. And what is the piece of business?" "It is the old thing, monsieur.
