HEARD BY RUBE.

Although they got a nice rain in Chi cago the other day, the people there do not seem to be satisfied but are clamoring for more. "We are even sat isfied with a heavy fog out in South Chicago. Any baseball pitcher that works so hard for his team that he breaks his arm while pitching the ball, ought to have a Carnegie medal. A large portion of the smoke of which people are complaining of is due to the olicy of the street car company in allowing Bmokers to congregate on the front end of the platform. Our innocent policemen in a bewildering number of cases are unable to recognize vice when they see it. It is said that the South Chicago street car company will put on several new cars in the near future. No explanation is given as a reason. The new Drake fountain on Calumet square has become a very popular place for the thirsty ones. One man was so thirsty that he was arrested for sleeping on the fountain all night. , ... Cheer up! The snow shovelers union will soon be in operation in South Chicago. Some of the enthusiasts are declaring that they will be swimming in dear old Lake Michigan until Christ mas. - The Chicago papers are devoting a great deal of space nowdays to mad dog stories. It would, indeed, be a poor day if there wasn't at least from ten to twenty mad dogs captured. By taking the street cars at Wind sor Park you can have a twenty-four mile ride to Rogers Park for the small sum of 5 cents. Not a bad way to spend a couple of hours on a hot night. Even the poor ducks about South Chicago are complaining about the dry weather. The holes and sloughs and the low districts are as dry as Gary saloons. There are but few of the ice cream complaining of the continued hot spell There are a number of other board walks in South Chicago that are in a dangerous condition and it would be well to have them repaired at once and save the city some damage suits this winter. The weather continues to be so nice, in fact, real summer weather, that the many proprietors of refreshment booths at Manhattan beach are reluc tant in leaving.
