The Architect.

One u wonder Why it really is
that so little is said or thought about
architecture. the graaaest. the mother.
of all arts. n great, Il most useful. sci
ence, one in which a greater revolution
has lately taken place and in which
more progress has been made. with
more ~stupendous results, than in any
other. remarks a writer in The Inter.
national Magazine.
Was 1t not Rlchelleu who. paraphras-
ing an ancient writer, said: IF il Ia

tect. He must be an artist. or his
buildings will offend the eye; IN engi-
neer. or they will crumble into trouble;
a lawyer. or he will get his patrons in

will be h~ygienically unfit to live in,
and, last. but not least. lie must be q
gentleman. or we will have nothing to
do with him.

hUMBLED THE SENATOR.
He Tried to Assert His Independence,
but Failed MiserabIy.

The writer remembers a good many
years ago when the late Ezekiel Clarke
was q member OF the state senate from
Johnson county. 1t is well known that
the senator or member from johnson
county is always expected to get a
large appropriation for the state uni.
versity. To fail would be political
death. Senator Clarke was anxious
to succeed and during the early part
Of the session voted for everything.
Ii another senator had a bill. all be
had to do VAS to go and whisper in
EzekiePs ear, and he would vote aye"
One day, however, Ezekiel came into
the senate with hair cut and a clean
shave. He sat upright in his seat and
began to slaughter right and left.
State Senator George +. Wright look
ed across to where the senator from
Johnson vas sitting and inquired what
change had come over the senator
from Johnson county. The other SEN
ator replied that the appropriation bill
for the state university had now pass
ed both houses, and the senator from
Johnson was going to make up for
lost time.
Clarke Kept on punching heads until
the senator from Jefferson. Moses A.
McCoid, rose and solemnly introduced
a bin for an act entitled An act
repeating the appropriation for the
state university" A broad smile pass
ed around the room. and everybody
except the senator from Johnson saw
the joke, But the spirit OF levity pass
cd away from Senator Clarke. He at
once assumed his humble attitude. and
the other boys voted him as usual dur
ing the remainder Of the session.-Des
