LEAST one thing in general is true of the
great number Of dens recently designed. and
furnished in the land of tDo-as-I-please':
Though they were not always modelled after the
generally accepted style of den nor were they
always correct from an artistic standpoint, they
were ali distinctly individual and the one place
where the respective owners could feel at per-
feet and happy liberty. Indeed some were SO
jealous of this freedom they insisted upon hay
ing keys, and were so "touchy'' about things
being moved they preferred to do the neces-
sary housekeeping themselves. -: =" = = :. +.

Special TO the Indianapolis Journal.
LAFAYETTE. Ind. Nov. John Ha-
berly, an attache OF the Bostock shows,
who has been in charge of a portion or the
company's menagerie, which was left in a
large barn at Ninth and State streets when
the company closed its engagement here
at the close of the carnival, was taken to
an isolation hospital to-day suffering with
virulent smallpox. His detention by the
authorities and the subsequent flight OF
three companions who assisted him. the
latter fearful Of being quarantined, has
caused queer and dangerous condition or
affairs. In the barn are three immense
leopards, several hyenas and some spotted
wolves. Haberly's sickness leaves them
unprotected and without food, and nobody
can be found in the barn elsewhere who
has courage enough to go near the beasts.
When Haberly was found it was not
known that he was suffering from small
pox, but subsequent diagnosis revealed
the fact and Health Officer Guy X. Lever
ing had him taken to the temporary pest
mouse, the new building not having peen
completed. Just what will be done with the
wild animals has not been decided. The
barn undoubtedly Is infected with the dis
the building. Persons obliged to pass the
building and hear the bowls of the hungry
animals feel some alarm and quicken their
steps.

Representative Bearss, of Miami.

The fact is remarked that Frank w.
Bearss, of Peru, who made a phenomenal
race for the Legislature in the normally
Democratic county of Miami, will be the
only member of the next Indiana General
Assembly who has had three members of
his immediate family in the same body.
Mr.. Bearss's father was the Hon. d. r.
BearsS. a well-known Republican leader in
northern Indiana in the days of Oliver p.
Morton. and member of the Senate in the
early seventies. During the time he was in
the Senate his eldest son, George Bearss,
represented Fulton county in the House.
Later A. c. Bearss. present postmaster at
Peru, was elected to the House from Miami
county. Mr.. Frank w. Bearss is the third
brother to be thus honored. No member
of the family, it is said, has ever run for
an Office other than that OF member OF
the General Assembly, and none was ever
defeated, though all were elected to repre-
sent Democratic districts. Mr.. Bearss
supersedes Dr. Passage, who was a we'll
known figure in the last Legislature.

c. h. Houchins, of Georgia, Has Had
Much Experience.

c. r. Houchins, who for several years
has been engaged i'm the star route mail
delivery business, is guest at the Deni-
son Hotel. He is here with a view to pur-
chasing an interest i'm mica and asbestos
mines in Georgia that are controlled by
Indiana people. Houchins has been a sue
cessful star route contractor, but Is now
ready TO retire from the business. These
star routes are mail delivery routes that
operated by the government in certain
localities. For many years Houchins and
others have taken contracts from the gov
eminent for the delivery Of mail along GER
tain routes. They would then sublet the
routes TO people living In these particular
localities. The government. however, has
put a stop TO this system and now lets the
contracts to people who live near the
routes This was DONE" said Mr.. Houch-
ins, because the competition got TO be SO
strong after these routes that contractors
would take them for very small sum.
They would then have 10 let them to car
riers at a correspondingly small amount.
On some of these star routes the pay OF the
carriers would not amount TO more than 50
TO 20 cents a day. The government found
that Ii could not get the right sort of serv-
ice and adopted a new rule. The con-
tracts are now let directly to the people
who carry the mail. Under the present ar
rangement the people who carry the mail
get 200 per cent more out OF IL than under
the old arrangement" Mr. Houchins says
the rural free delivery In taking the place
OF the star routes In Indiana.
