 Title:  The Artistic Side of Chicago  
 Published:  1999 
 Subjects:  University of Virginia Library, Text collection | UVA-LIB-Text 
 Description: ONE who enters Chicago unacquainted with it, having no open sesame to its hospitable doors, knowing the city only by its streets, its hotels, and its theatres, is disturbed by an unpleasant emotion. If he comes from some well-regulated, cultivated, and placid town of the eastern part of this country, or from England or Germany, he feels shaken out of poise and peace by a tremendous discord. He sees a city ankle-deep in dirt, swathed in smoke, wild with noise, and frantic with the stress of life. He sees confusion rampant, and the fret and fume of the town rise and brood above it like hideous Afrits.

 Title:  Shehens` Houn` Dogs  
 Published:  1999 
 Subjects:  University of Virginia Library, Text collection | UVA-LIB-Text 
 Description: EDWARD Berenson, the Washington correspondent for the New York News, descended from the sleeping-car at Hardin, Kentucky, and inquired for the stage to Ballington's Gap. But there was, it appeared, no stage. Neither was a conveyance to be hired. The community looked at Berenson and went by on the other side. He had, indeed, as he recollected, with a too confiding candor, registered himself from Washington, and there were reasons in plenty why strangers should not be taken over to Ballington's Gap promiscuously, so to speak, by the neighbors at Hardin. Berenson had come down from Washington with a purpose, however, and he was not to be frustrated. He wished to inquire — politely — why, for four generations, the Shehens and the Babbs had been killing each other. He meant to put the question calmly and in the interest of scientific journalism, but he was quite determined to have it answered. To this end he bought a lank mare for seventy-five dollars — "an th' fixin's thrown in, sah" — and set out upon a red road, bound for the Arcadian distance.
