A PACIFIC LINER--THE CAPITAL OF HAWAII.

ARCHIE found Chicago to be so widely different from New York that
everything he saw was new and interesting to him. In the afternoon he
managed to see something of the congested business section of the city,
the tall office buildings, the great stores, and the famous Board of
Trade. It was all very fine, he thought, but still it wasn't nearly so
fascinating to him as New York had been on the first day he visited it.
"Chicago seems so very much like some great town," he explained to the
hotel clerk in the evening. "I feel as if I were not in a great city
at all, because there are not the evidences of a large and wealthy
population that we have everywhere in New York." Archie spoke of New
York as if he had lived there always, and found much to criticise in
Chicago. But toward evening he went up to Lincoln Park and the beautiful
North Shore, and he felt that there was nothing more beautiful in New
York than this magnificent park, and this handsome Lake Shore Drive,
with its great houses whose lawns reached down almost to the lake
itself. On the South Side of the city, too, he found some handsome
streets and residences, but there was always that feeling of being in
some rapidly growing town. It wasn't hard for Archie to realise that
there were older houses in his native town than could be found anywhere
in the great city of Chicago.

The greatest difference between Chicago and New York was to be noticed
in the evening. Instead of the brilliantly lighted thoroughfares of
upper Broadway and Twenty-third and Thirty-fourth Streets, he found
but one street in Chicago which was at all illuminated, and the
illuminations there were chiefly signs in front of dime museums. The
streets, too, were not so crowded, and Archie almost longed that he
could be back on Broadway, if only for a little while.

On Sunday he found Chicago to be a more noisy city than he had ever been
in before on that day, and he found that the people made good use
of their one weekly holiday. All places of amusement were open, and
everything was running in "full blast."

The parks seemed to be very popular, indeed, and there were numerous
water excursions upon Lake Michigan, to Milwaukee, St. Joe, and various
other neighbouring cities. The street-cars were crowded all day long,
many of them taking people to a Sunday game of baseball at the Athletic
Park. All of this was very interesting and very new to Archie, but it
