In the Woolly West.

It is related in the Chap Book that Eugene Field, of Chicago, being asked out to dinner in London, found himself seated next to Mrs. Humphry Ward. Mrs. Ward was in a meditative nnd receptive mood, and said little at first; but about the time the fish came she turned to Mr. Field and said: “Tell me of Chicago, of your habits and customs. I have never known any one who lived there." Whereupon Mr. Field replied: “Well. Mrs. Ward, when I was caught I was living in a tree.”
