The Lake Street House, Chica Chicago, - go, Chicago, ove of the earliest hotels of | Chieago, of which the bibulous Mark Beaubién was mine host, stood near the river, on Lake street, and was perhaps the most | popular hostelry of its time in the (city. It is not generally known 'that this house is «till in existence, but such in reality is the case. It | was removed one block northwest ]of its original site, where, in a Imuch dmproved and remodeled i state, it mow stands, bearing no ]suggestion of antiquity in its out outward - ward outward appearance, qMany incidents are related of this hotel, and of the scenes and incidents which oceur. red there. Some of these are well worth repeating, but limited space forbids the fhention of more than | one gucst who stopped at the house and were given the best chamber, sometimes had a strange 'and startling experience. A man 'would go to*bed and sleep sound sound-Iy, - -Iy, sound-Iy, until just before dawn when be 'wouid be awakened by a cry of "Indians, Indians!" At the same time some one would rush into the room snateh. the bed-elothing from the bed, and dart out ngBin before the astonished guest could get his eyes fairly opened. With visions of infuriated savages, glancing tomakawks and flowing blood, the terrified man would jump.out of bed, hurrg himself into his garments apd bolt out of the room confident, that a terrible Indian massacre was in progress.

To make the mystery more dense, nobody could tell him who the person was that had awakened him in such an outrageous manner. He would question everyone inthe hotel, but each and all of them would wear a look of hopeless bewilderment, and either pronounce the whole affair a perplexing puszzle, or in insindate - sindate insindate that e had been dream dreaming. - ing. dreaming.

The victims generally arrived at the conclusion that it wus & practi. cal joke perpetrated Ly sowe one in the hotel for his own individual amisement. One night a man stopped at this house had heard about this trick and was prepared to bafile the joker if any altempt should be made to deprive him of his morn morn-Ing - -Ing morn-Ing nap. Sure cuough shortly be before - fore before day-light, lie was aroused by a terrible commotion. His door was thrown opened and somebody plunged into the room, shouting in thrilling tones: "Indians, In Indians; - dians; Indians; quick, for your lives! The Indians are upon us!"

Some time later a hand shook him gently. He looked up into the anxious faee of the landlord. "Say mister, it's 6 o'clock; you'll have to get up." ! "Why, what's the matter?" "Well, breakfast ought to have been ready an hour ago, and we cah not finish it till you get up." "Do you take me for the cook?" "No, but I want that sheet youn are lying on.

He ealled aloud, but the whistle of the tug on the right was the ouly answer.
