few people are willing to give an architect
the amount OF time he ought to have to
study things out in detail. Many people
have the mistaken idea that after an ar
chitect has received a few preliminary In
structions he runs his hand through his
hair, obtains an inspiration and jots down
Immediately a solution Of the problem.
Every house is a different problem, very
few being just alike; and TO work out the
best solution Of each problem means hard
work and considerable study, with the aid
Of talent and experience. An architect is
both an inventor and an artist, an original
design being an invention, and he is al
artist who paints with materials. 1t takes
time to paint a picture, many artists
spending months Of study on a subject
before painting it. A mechanical inventor
will seldom create a proper machine at
the first attempt, although his knowledge
Of the working model makes him better
fitted to create the perfect machine, but
to do so often requires years OF study.
Beautiful homes embody both the inven-
ton OF an original design and the artistic
element Of color, which should be care
fully studied.
Many people proCrastinate on the home
building problem in the hopes that they
may be able to shirk the responsibility OF
building one and obtain one already built
which exactly suits in every respect. Some
times very good bargains can be obtained
when usually circumstances require a man
TO sell his home at a sacrifice, but these
Instances are very rare, for most homes
II built a few years back are sold for
more than they cost TO build. II houses
have been built TO sell, they usually show

there are children in the family, since
their associates will have much to do with
the moulding OF their characters. When
all of these requirements can be found in
a home already built by a man who built
his home to live in himself, but is forced
to sell, either through some unfortunate
circumstance or a desire for a larger home,
the opportunity should certainly be taken
advantage of, for the building Of a new
home is a serious responsibility and not
an easy matter. The right combinations
are very seldom met with and for a man
to wait an indefinite length of time for
such an opportunity is not advisable, for
IT may never come just as he would want
1t. To receive figures in the spring or
summer the man behind will pay about
6 or 8 per cent more as a penalty for hay
ing delayed letting his contract until June

enough to take advantage Of the prices
and close competition which prevails dur

Wives and mothers with telepathic gifts
may be able now to keep tally on the
conviviaI glass OF husbands and sons IL the
plan reported by the Rev. Dr.. Newell
Dwight Hills, pastor of Plymouth church
Of Brooklyn in the current number OF the
Journal for Psychical Research, comes into
general use.
His Communication was directed orig
inally to the Rev. DIR. Isaac X. Funk, and
Prof. James H. Hyslop, in printing it. ex-
presses his regret hat he could not obtain
more data on a subject which he finds far
from dry.
DR.. Hills begins his communication with
the observation that a prominent woman
member Of his church had a grown son
who had a cultivated thirst He had been
frequently admonished on the subject. The
young man went to several cities and re-
turned after meeting with merry compau-
ions, his mother meanwhile being I'm the
south. She returned in April, and sum
mcned her son to her boudoir and babe
him to sit down beside her.
Now, then" said she. as quoted I'm the
letter Of Dr.. Hills, "I want YOU to tell me
all about has happened in -
Don't deceive me. 1 saw you in the hotel,
l saw you surrounded by men, and 1 saw
you when you took the first drink"
The young man told his mother what
a happened, thinking that some one pres
ent had written to her. After that chapter
had been thoroughly discussed she said she
wanted him to tell her what happened in
such and such a city. He discovered that
she knew all about this episode.
DR.. Hills adds that on another occas-
ion the son had been slightly injured In a
railroad accident, and that she had, al
though miles away, vlsualized the incl
dent.
Prof. Hyslop wrote for further details
OF the accurate count on liquid refresh
ments at long distance, but DR.. Hills was
unable to furnish them, as the chief per-
sons concerned did not care to give them.
1T Is deplored," writes Prof. Hyslop I'm

toned in this Incident would not consent TO

OVATION TO
SENATOR BORAH
Income Tax Address One of Great
est Deliver red i'm Years

WASHINGTON, May 5.-Senator
Borah, OF Idaho, upon the compile
ton of his speech on the income tax
received one OF the greatest ovations
accorded a senator for the delivery
OF an argument on the floor of the
senate chamber, regardless Of sym
pathy with the proposal for taxing
incomes. Senators, correspondents,
and gallery listeners congratulated
the Idaho member for one of the alb
lest addresses heard in recent years.
After weeks OF speaking on the tar
in and associated topics, political
Washington was stated with oratory,
but Borah succeeded in holding the
attention Of the senators and keeping
the galleries filled throughout both
days he had the floor.
Income tax advocates were jubi-
liant over what they asserted had
been an unanswerable presentation OF
dificult legal subject, and claimed
several recruits might be added to
the income tax cause, largely by reas-
on OF Borah's arguments.
1t was especially noted that Senat-
or Borah met In debate this time
such nationally celebrated men al
Root, Beveridge and Lodge. easily
holding his ground with ready replies
and with citations Of authorities
strongly supporting his contention
that the wealth Of the nation under
existing methods of taxation escapes
its just share Of the burden Of ex
pense OF the government.

Deserted After Marriage.
The complaint alleged that the
couple were married in the town OF
Pennington. SEPTEMBER 3, 1908. by a
justice OF the peace OF that place.
The courtship between the two was
a brief one--lasting but q couple OF
days. and It was alleged that the de-
PENDANT induced the plaintiff to be-
lieve that he had known her for a
long time--that he loved her, and de-
sired to marry her so that he could
provide her with a home. and take
good care of her. The plaintiff eyi-
IDENTIFY being unable to resist the ar
dent wooing OF the defendant finally
consented to the marriage. and so
they were married. II Is then al
legged that Immediately after the
marriage the defendant deserted the
plaintiff--apparenetly did not even
wait to kiss her farewell, and since
then he has never been seen.
II is then alleged that the mar
riRge was contracted by fraud and
for the purpose OF acquiring the prop
erty Of the plaintiff. and that II was
not In accordance with the treaty
with the Indians, and on these
grounds It was asked to be annulled.
