Huntington The history of architecture is an interesting atudy.

It is a recurrence of the olusic forms of the English Renaissance, modified by conditions of local materials and circumstances. Our dwellings are be ing constructed on purer and better lines, and while the demands of large edifices in our cities are snore for the engineer than for the artist, yet even a business building need not be devoid of the expression of beauty and taste.

In the development of the artistic spirit suggested tbe public schools can be made a considerable factor. Every child should be taught tbe principles that underlie good taste in art and ar tistic forma. In this manner the child can be made acquainted with what ia pure and good and true in art, aod understand the requirements of delicacy and good taste.

This rumor is based on what Ball himself told per sons the lut time he wu la the city.

He is alleged to have told several persons that before he would serve time in the penitentiary, he would forfeit the five hundred dollars ouh bond and go so for west that no Indiana officer would ever be able to locate him He la also alleged to have told that his mother made him a present of one thousand dollars on lut Christmas oa a promise that he would never steal any more, but that he had not only broken that promise but had plungsd still deeper into crime. He also said, according to thia rumor, that be still had the money given to him by his mother and that he had added considerable to It, and with it he could live easier in a western town than he could to serve a sentence of only a year in prison.

i mi nm irMs pnvsia wuw.j Galvuton, Texas, Sept 2d, 1900. Li bar VYira: You wanted me to tell you bow I saved myself. Now don't get seared and I will try to tell yon. It wu storming some when 1 came la town aboat noon, the 8th of September. I did not know anything aboat It on the train, but wu told there wu a severe storm coming, an aouneed tbroagh the weatber bureau.

I then thought that I would go back oa the aext train, but no more trains weat out until lut Friday, the 21st. aod the maa I came here with, went to where he lived. We staid there until 4 o'clock, and he said we would go where It wu higher, and a more substantial house. We started but could only get one block farther back, up town. We atopped in a large new house that we thought would stand tbe storm.

We were there until about 8 o'clock when the wind blew so hard and the water wu so high, that there rfiaamA sbl irft saawsi with viiKKfsih Tm vt of other houses, fences and all kinds of and tore the house all to pieces All this time 1 waa praying for all of ns, (there were fourteen of us in the house.) I wu near the corner and side of the house holding to a window aillwhB. with obi rruh. down went the house. The side I wu on started off. I wu about three feet in water.

I reached up and got hold of the top aad climbed up. The house then be MM I gBU Ml UlWti AIlO W1UU WM UIUW1D furiouly, and it was raining hard. I could scarcely see, and all the time, kcantliog, slate shingles and every thing else tossed at me. 1 pulled my Caddie hat down to my ears and fought the storm and debris with all my might I floated around that way on the side of the house for an hour or more. Could see some houses stand ing at a distance, but no way to reach them.

Wu floating toward the gulf at a rapid speed, when, finally, I saw a bouse about sixty f6et from me, and lots of drift between me and the house. I thought this my only chance for my life, so I made a lunge across the drift, up and down, till I reached the house. I found a man and two women there. I wu only there a few moments until we heard a woman scream at a side window. We found her and succeeded in getting her in.

She wu nearly exhausted when we got her np stairs to the light. I saw it was the same woman that lived In the house we were all in. Her husband aad three children were drowned and also two other women and four children of the same nouse. When I got to the house where I saved myself I wu nearly worn out. but the people were kind to me, gave me some breakfast and hot coffee, and dry clothes to put on.

1 stayed there until 11 o'eloek. During this time 1 found two ol the men and one little boy that wu ia the house that washed away had got a house near where I wu. The maa I came here with had two ribe broken and a large guh out over his eye. So I took him to a doctor who told me I must take him to a hospital. So we kept on inquiring until we found one.

It wu then five o'clock. I then went to find a place" to stay. Have worked every day since. Am not bothered with rheumatism since I have been here. That night I wu in the water so long it did not hurt me.

On Tuesday after the storm, I went to the K. of P. hail. I found one man there. He asked me how I escaped being drowned.

I told him, and also told him I lost every thing I had. He took me around several places. 1 have worked every day at ft 00 a day. Board is from four to six dollars a week. I will tell you more next time.
