Miller's Chicago dream and the space men tale
The narrator recalls quitting the city editorship of The Pittsburgh Ledger to seek work in Chicago during the World’s Fair era. Sherman of the Tribune explains the space men system paying per column, prompting the daring move. A 30-day stint leads to a Red Republican primary assignment and a penniless walk across town. The piece pivots to absurd notes on productively rich soil and odd anecdotes from fair life, including a misadventure on a train involving a girl and a basemen’s ball gown.
