sMALLpOxANB MICE DID HIM.
The First Cut his Visit Short aud the
Latter RlddIed his Uniform.

Theodore Bosley, a member OF Col,
National Guard, at ParEersburg, made
a short visit here some months ago
and that visit has gotten him into
trouble. He brought his trunk along
with him, containing his uniform. Not
being disposed to display his army
paraphernalia but preferring to wear
the dress OF civilian, he left the uni
form in the trunk and he left the
trunk too In haSty departure from
this city, when the smallpox broke
out. Later the trunk and contents
we're shipped to him, and to his dis
may he found that mice had played
havoc with his uniform. The com.
pany demanded the uniform but he
could not produce it. Then he was
arrested and had to explain by relat.
ing the dilemma in which the mice and
smallpox placed him. However, he
agreed to pay stated sum each week
until the cost Of the uniform was fully
met, and was released.

Good Architecture.

Messrs. Holmboe s. LaiIerty, the new
firm of architects with Offices in the
Lerrett building, who recently located
here, will introduce themselves TO
those contemplating building, with a
series Of writings on good architecture.
Comparatively few people can afford
TO experiment in the erection OF
huildingS- IL Is too expensive.
TO erect buildings which are poorly
lighted, unattractive in appearance,
and otherwise defective, costs fully as
much as TO erect those which are
wholly free from errors of design and
construction.
wisely planned inc0nvenient within
and commonplace without, requires
fulIy ms large an outlay of money as TO
erect one which is characterized iR
every detail, by truest art. the most
skillful arrangement and the most
painStaking care. =,
Obviously, then, since the cost oil
good and bad architecture is the same,
irrespective builders should consult an
archItect OF proven ability and expert
snce-not one whose work will involve
costly experiments or subsequent al
terations TO correct defects.
