We noticed regular family bedstead

yesterday. 1t is six and half feet in
width, and will accommodate a whole
family on a winter night.
Now let some man who has the land
and the money, or either, keep the cot
tage building boom in motion. There
is room for hundreds more in the city,
and they will bring to their owners a
healthy, paying income. a gentleman
now engaged in building several of these
houses says he has them all rented long
before they are finished, and has daily
applications for more.

A ROMANCE FROM THE PLAINS.
The Separation OF a Young Army
Officer from his Bride.

Ihe separation Oh a Dung army
y Officer from his Bride.
st. Louis Globe Democrat.
Lieut.. w. A. Skunk, Sth United States
Cavalry, and Miss Merrill daughter of
Post Chaplain Merrill, were united in the
holy bonds of wedlock at Fort Clark,
Texas, one bright and rosy morning in
early June last. Two hours after the
ceremony was performed, and while the
EriA and groom, surrounded by their
conera,r 'atory friends, still fingered
over the sap1tfffrttlous wedding breakfast,
an order was received fTofe4eadquarters
directing Lieut.. Shunk's conir7'a.'rrtE to to
take the field against Geronimo, the
Apache chief, and his band Of restless,
discontented and blOodthirsty redskins.
1t was hard. Not doubt of that. But
do but to bid his blushing and weeping
bride goodbye, fling himself into the
saddle and ride away after the Apache
miscreants. 1t soon became evident that
the campaign against the Indians would
be long and tediouss so Post Chaplain
Merrill decided to return with his fami-
", including Mrs. Lieut.. Skunk, to their
home in Atlanta, Ga. Thus the separa-
ton between the rude1y severed man
and wife became wider and more COM
plete. All summer long Lieut.. Skunk,
with his company, secuted through Ari-
IONA in pursuit of the Apache band,
while his brave and patient wife quietly
awaited his return at her old home
away down in Georgia. Two weeks ago
Lieut.. Skunk, still in the field, was over
whelmed with joy and pleasurable an
ticipation by the receipt of an order de-
failing him to attend the Cavalry School
az Fort LevenwCrth, Kansas. AS may
be imagined, he was not long in obeying
this most welcome order. Upon reach
ing Fort Leavenworth he readily secur-
ed a short leave of absence, telegraphed
Mrs. Skunk to meet him in st. Louis,
and on Monday bride and groom were
reunited at the Southern Hotel in this
city. Their long deferred honeymoon
will doubtless prove unusually happy,
and will be married by no fears of a sec
ond sudden and unexpected separation.
Under army regulations one lieutenant
from each regiment in the service is sent
to tho SCHOOL at Levenworth, where
they must remain two years for the pur-
pose of receiving instructions in the
higher and more intricate branches of
their profession. For two years, there
fore, Lieutenant and Mrs. Skunk may
enjoy each others society without fear
of interruption.
