How Chicago Is Spelled.

In sorting over the letters for Chicago a man In the general Chicago office has kept an account of the number of different ways the word Chicago is spelled. Recently the record showed 197 different ways. Some ripe scholar in Finland sent a letter to his brother and spelled the name of the Garden City, Zizzazo. Still another foreigner, possibly with a sinister motive, spelled the word Jagjago. Hipaho, Jajijo, Scheechacho, Hizage, and Chachicho are also prime favorites.
