PLACES YOU OUGHT TO VISIT
Chicago has come to be a mecca for students, summer resorters and travelers from every waik of life. For work or play they come to "The Windy City."
This is as it should be, for Chicago has outdone most American cities in providing opportunities for work, study, recreation and enjoyment, which is accessible alike to rich and poor. If a student wants to learn a trade, take a business course, or complete a professional course at the university, he has every facility for doing so under the best trained teachers in the land.
The places one might visit are many and varied. No visitor on an ordi- nary vacation can see half there is to be seen. Every way you turn there is something different. So the wise seeker after knowledge secures a guide book. or its equivalent, selects the places he wishes to visit and sticks to his program.
Chicago has every good thing, and all the best things are free, except food and raiment, and in some quarters, even these are freely dispensed to the really needy. Balmy breezes from the Great Lake cross Michigan Boulevard on Lake Front and penetrating to every nook and corner make the city a very comfortable place to live in. But this is not all that's free. The Art In. stitute, Public Library, Y. M. C. A., Frederick Douglas Centre. Fellow ship League and other places for selt-improvement are open irce to all.
Sears, Roebuck & Co.
Now, let us look a little farther out. One might like to see Sears, Roc- buck & Co.'s largest mail order house in the world. Visitors are given special attention. This plant is located at AArthington and Homan Avenue.
Union Stock Yards
The Union Stock Yards are reached by South Side Elevated, changing at Indiana Avenue Station to Stock Yards branch. Packingtown, which lies just behind the yards, covers about 200 acres. Here is the principal live stock and meat-packing center of the United States. Nearly all of the forty micat- packing plants are located here, and all make a specialty of showing visitors through their plants. It's great to be here at "hog-killing time." Then if you are interested in the methods of preparing foodstuffs there is a large concern here which devotes itself exclusively to this end of the business, putting out every month about 10,000,000 cans of corn beet, ox tongue, mince meat, etc
Lincoln Park
Turning to the parks, we shall look first at Lincoln Park, which is the star attraction on the North Side. (Any surface car line on North Clark or Wells Street skirts the park at its southwest side.) Great interest centers around the zoological buildings. If you are interested in animals you will find some specimens here that are new to you, unless you are familiar with
..
..

BLACK'S BLUE BOOK
the animals of Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia and the Islands of the Sea. The zoo contains 2,300 specimens of mammals, reptiles and birds. A favorite time for visiting is 4 p. m., when the animals are fed.
Among the numerous pieces of sculptor's art in Lincoln Park, the bronze statue of Lincoln, by St. Gaudens, at the Dearborn Street entrance, easily takes first place. This statue is considered to be a masterpiece of the sculptor's art and is generally regarded as one of the best likenesses of the war presi- dent in existence. Over at the Wisconsin Street entrance is a grave which is marked by a great red boulder with a bronze tablet. This tablet reads: "David Kennison, the last survivor of the 'Boston Tea Party,' who died in Chicago. February 24, 1852, age 115 years 3 months 17 days, and was buried near this spot."
Jackson Park
Don't miss Jackson Park. (Cottage Grove Avenue to Sixty-third, transfer east to Jackson Park.) Herein is the Midway Plaisance, that historic spot which carries us back to the days of the World's Fair of '93.
The Field Museum, located in this park, is a source of attraction to visitors and students from afar. Marshall Field, whose name the museum perpetuates. has given in all $9,400,000, others have given $500,000, and from sources other than endowment the museum has an income of $25,000. Though devoted to science, the museum makes every effort to have a variety of exhibits in each department which will interest and be understood by the average visitor. To scientists and special students, therefore, the museum is an inexhaustible mine: but any visitor to Chicago inay spend at least a day here with pleasure.
An interesting feature of Wooded Island is the Cahokia Court House. reputed to be the oldest public building in the Mississippi Valley. It was built about the year 1716 at Cahokia, Ill., and has served in various public capacities. At different periods it was employed for both civic and military purposes, and is recognized as the oldest county seat building (St. Clair Co .. Ill.,) in the original Northwest Territory.
Washington Park (Cottage Grove Avenue Cars South to 57th Street.)
We usually think of Washington Park as a place of rest and recreation because of its special adaptation for such purposes. While there are some im- portant buildings in this park, we are at first sight struck with the vast expanse of undisturbed playgrounds. This is the second largest of the south parks, and is a 371-acre rectangle. Twenty-three acres of lagoons, 7 miles of charming. winding driveways, bridle paths, lawns and shrubbery, make it a beautiful park, while in the center of the expanse is a vast meadow. Here the Sunday Schools bring their picnics in summer because of its freedom from danger to children. Here are numerous facilities for enjoyment, inluding tennis. foot- ball, baseball, basketball, roque, bowling, archery, wading, horseback riding and fly casting, and in winter there is curling, tobogganing and skating. Here on Saturday the church teams of all denominations vie with each other at baseball.
Other Parks
Other amusement parks where a small general admission fee is charged as well as a fee for admission to the many special attractions inside, are "White City," 63rd and South Park Avenue, and Riverview, corner Western and Belmont Avenues.
But to describe all the places of interest about Chicago would require a book in itself. We have given you here the merest glimpse. just as they occurred to us and without regard to any order. You may be interested to see these things for yourself. If you do, you may be impressed, as was the Queen of Sheba, who having finally got an opportunity to view Solomon's Temple, exclaimed: "Behold, the half was not told me."
