None in Chicago.

“And who was Diogenes, papa?” said a boy to his father. “Diogenes, my boy, was an eccentric individual, who used to light a candle in daytime and walk to and fro through the thoroughfares of his native city, and when anybody asked him what he was doing, he would tell them that he was looking for an honest man.” “He would have to hunt around Chicago for a long time before he would find one, wouldn’t he, papa?” “Yes, even with the great illuminative advancement of our age, such as gas and electric light, he would probably never succeed in ferreting out the object of his search. Not here, my boy; their home is not here.”— Carl Pretzel’s Weekly.
