 The increasing number of dwellings going up and the improved character of construction of these is in line with the numerous improvements in the way of business blocks that have been made in the last year and that are now making. The demand for houses. despite the fact that the sum mer season is here. is still well in ad- vance of either the immediate or the prospective supply. Rental agencies of the city have calls for houses daily that they cannot fill. Particularly is this true with regard to properties within easy range of the city and the mines where the bulk of thr wage earners of the city are employed. Building activity in such portions of the city has of course been more ac- tive in the last several months than in more distant localities, though as

 Bisbee is building up in all direc- tions with wonderful rapidity. A marked feature about the building that is being done is that it is all. big and little, of a better general character than has been had here in previous years. The few who have in the past contended that shacks would iE time go in Bisbee and that hand some, substantial structures would rear in their places are beginning to see their ideas worked out. The gen eral squalor of the camp from an architectural view point several years ago has already been showed out of

had thoughtfully left for him. .z
And when Skinny rejoined, Gum had already done so per

or done about it. The whole thing was too perfectly that
day. American for adverse action or any comment, save jocu-

But the storm Of war rolled on, bearing hundreds Of thous-

minated in the awful slaughter that preceded the surrender
Of Appomattox. And then Gum and Skinny foregathered
again. Skinny's regiment, among Sheridan's men who got
around Lee and by destroying the provisions he had had col
1ected in his rear destroyed his last hope of breaking Grants
strangle hold on the confederate army of northern Virginia
and. joining johnson, were deployed as skirnishers to feel
the front Of the retreating confederates. Suddenly a squad
ron of grayijacketed cavalry swept down on them like men
who realized that the game was up and had determined to
die biting. MI .s+
And die biting they did. Right thru the blue line they
smashed, revolver and saber hard at work and men going
down before them like grain before the reaper. rs
But they were aoutnumbered greatly, and the blast Of
rife fire that met them and ringed them round, emptied the
saddles SO rapidly that in half an hour they were dead, pris-
oners, or scattered to the four winds Of heaven. 81. =

the gray riders made, and as the last few Of them broke in
all directions, ran to8where he had seen their leader go down,

He reached the fallen confederate, who was pinned down
by his dead horse, and with the assistance Of his men extri-

THE increased rate Of interest allowed by them attracted

New York savings banks one day lately. When a woman en-

where even against the skylight she could see a row Of wait

this was the last day for months when deposits would draw
interest. She took the elevator as directed, and getting at

the front disposed of their business and passed out.
Finally reaching the top of the last fight Of steps she
leaned over the banister to calculate how much longer she
