Faction is one of the strongest dictators of values in reality. In Home large dtiea the priori of residence property in Use most fashionable quartern mount up to neer the value of the best business locations. Colonel McLean reports that Washington residence streets have their value* entirely regulated by fashion. Fashion has said that society there intuit be located within a territory of about ten block# extending outward to the limits. All such property ui sold by the square foot, the range of choice lota being from $3 to $5 per square foot. What ia true in large ritiee will become apparent in Terre Haute alao, as the city grows. Choice residence property in tut be nearly a* good as choice business property, In its expectancy of fnture increase. Business ofienttmee shifts from one locality to another, so also does the matter of taste concerning residence streets.

In New York busmces has gradually forced residences np town. Everything below Fourteenth street is considered as tainted. To become a choice residence quarter environment moot be of the beat and encroachment of business "or objectionable bow** must be prevented, either by the ruling of high price® or by the monopoly and dictation of ownership. It will be remembered the sensation that was created by an enemy of Mr.

Jarre It's proposing to build a school for colored children upon an adjoining lot to the Garrett mansion. The danger of invasion must always lie taken into consideration in connection with every residence locality. In Honth Sixth street is perhaps the highest dwelling pncee in Ti'rre Ifaute.

On the South Side la vacant ground enough to accommodate ttie growth for a few years. Indication*! are that price# will «o higher and probably reach £ftX) per front foot in from five to ten years. The only prospect of discounting the future value of the liest residence lots lies in the probability that the suburbs may come into favor. 'The suburlia present many ad vantages, Ground being cheap, space is attainable, and invasion may be shut off. Consider the risk that overhangs Mr. Minahali's elegant new resilience. No one can now fix the time when the cor wrs opposite the post office will be in demana for business or for hotel pur jtoses. Necessarily the locality of fine residence must bo very limited in Terre Haute. There is nothing in the business of the city which produces wealth very fast. It in the new towns, filled with the "new rich," where fine residences spring up very fast. However, the extension of moderately well appointed homes is very fast. The North End has a very different appearance from some of the West Knd streets.

One very noticeable feature of the residence streets is the great tmmlx»r of second-rate houses. On Sonth Hixth street there are a great number of houses too |Kor to stand upon such highpriced ground. That is to say that anyone able to pny for the ground would not buy it with the pur|»ose of encumbering it with such poor improvement. One by one these second«rote houses will l© renliwetl by better ones, Ohio atreet is I teing crowded by business, and tlie residences must retire to more quiet neighborhoods.

At Peoria, Kawnlay,

MR. AND MRS. BOWSER.

Tb« Head of Um fuBltjr Trim to Pat Hp Sum* IcrtM Oo«ri—Tbe BmbII. An expm*wuin brought up a small Jag of lumber the other afternoon and Ml it at the barn, and whan Mr. Bowser cam* home I mentioned the and asked what he intended

"It** for *e*«en doors Car the front doara," be replied. ""Oiir}* ntcr coming up to make thorn!*' "Haven't eagatfed any. "Mr, Itowser, yon are not going to try and make them yonrsetff* "There won*t be any trying about it shall proceed to make and hang them." "I'm afraid you eant do It. It's a nice piece of joiner work to make a screen door, especially one for the front ol the house." "I nut well aware,** he said as he stroked hi* chin in a complacent way. "Haven't got about #80 worth of tools* Don't I know bow to handle themJ*' "I—I wish yon had given your order Ml the shop, as other folks do." *T11 be hanged if 1 pay any 18 for a pair of doors when I can make 'em for $3t You are always dead set against anything undertake!" "Mr. Dowser, yon can't make a screen door. You can't bang one. Don't blame me when the failure comes." "Blame yon! Are you getting c*a«yf It those door* ate not a success yon won't hear a weed of fault from me—not a peep. I was thinking of ordering them, but being yon hate stock your nose up so high I'll make 'em now just to show you that I can do it!"

And next morning he put on an old suit and went out to the barn and before o'clock he had measured four different times for those doors.

It wasn't long before I saw him sneaking aronnd to tbe front with one of the pieces. 1 watched him as he tried it mid it was all of twelve inches short. Mr. Bowser scratched his ear, growled like a bear and looked as foolish as a boy caught in a barvast apple tree. Ten minutes later he was at the telephone ordering more stuff. "Were they too short?" I asked aa 1m hung up the trumpet. gb •tuff," he mumbled as he shot outdoors.

The Muff came np after dinner, and it was about 5 o'clock in the afternoon whoa be put one of the frames together and stood It up in the door. I went out, and as he began to smile with satisfaction I said: 'Mr. Bowser, that door is sqneegawed."

Squeegawed? Squeegawedf What does that stand for in the bade counties?" Your door is wider at the bottom than at the top." "It can't be!" "But your own eyes will convince you. There's an inch difference!" "Nevtsrl I'll bet yon a million dollars there isn't a hair's breadth I"

Iran for my tapeline and soon proved that the difference was over an inch. "Oh, welt, I can fix that in a moment," he said, but it was 0 o'clock that evening before he came in.

It was 10 o'clock next forenoon when I went out to the barn. lie bad the door covered with the wire cloth and proudly called my attention to it. "Wldcb is the outside of the door?" I asked. "Why, the side this way, of course." "Then you've tacked the cloth on the in«idel,, "That's where it belongs."-' "You nover saw it there, Mr. Bowser— never 1 A ad look at the way you have tacked the stuff on. It's humped up in a doxen different places, because you pulled It askew." "There isn't one hump—not the sign of a hump, I'll give any man a billion dollars to make abetter job of itl Ail that door needs now is painting." "But don't they paint the frames before they tack the cloth on? flow are yon going to paint tbe insido of the frame?" "Don't yon worry yourself about this job, Mrs. Bowser, I wasn't born alongside of a huckleberry marshl"

Mr. Bowser had been at work an hour next morning before I went out. He had the doors at tbe front, and he seemed to have some trouble about banging them. "You see what you've done, don't you?" 1 asked, after a snrvey of the scene. "I don't believe I'm either near sighted or color blind," he said, "Well, you've got one door wrong side up, to begin with." "H-hew?" "Look at the panels and see. Then you have been trying to hang one to swing in and the other to swing out." "I have, eh? That shows all you know about it. I'm simply fitting tb« screens so they will shut tight."

Just before noon he got a hang on both doors, and aa I looked at them from the hall 1 had to sit down on the floor and laugh. They didn't meet in the center within two inches and each was half an Inch short at the top and bottom. He had also huttg them with the cloth on the inside, Ju*£ then a neighbor c&me along and turned in to the steps. After looking at the door* for h»lf a minute In great astonishment he queried: "Something just from Paris, BowaerP "What do yon meant" "Why, you've got a new idea in screen doom, suppose the space at tbe bottom Is for bugs, that at the top lor mosquitoes, and the center fair flies. I see you have left the frames exposed. They will make capital roosting places tor home files and pinch bugs. l)kt jtm do *hta job?" "Y-yea."

"One summer about eleven years ago, when I was out In Wyoming," said the colunel, "my younger brother, who was then a college boy, came out to spend his summer vacation with us. Will gave the rough men out there a good deal of amusement with his ideas of how a man should dross on the plains. But he wasn't a bad fellow, for he hod no little spirit and wss always willing to do his share of the work. "If you ever meta Shoshone Indian at that time you know what a perfect type of a lazy, peaceful, harmless redskin is. We used to consider that the Sboshones were born to be kicked about, and I am afraid that many of us lived up to our beliefs. A man would never hesitate if there had been any petty thieving around the camp to walk four or five miles, go into an Indian camp single handed and kick things about, or drag the mighty braves from their blankets until be bad found his saddle, his bridle, his rifle, or whatever it was that had been stolen. Having found it he would sling it on his back and stride off amid tho disappointed grunts of the dirty braves. "But Will, fresh from the oast and never having seen an ^Indian before, could not understand this boldness. When there were Indians in the camp begging

bacco bo was always suspicious of treachery. At such times he kept an anxious eye on the guns and watched every movement of the visitors closely, while we used never to think of such a thing. "We left him in charge of the camp one day mid started for the mountains after deer. Finding ourselves several miles from camp that night we started a fire, broiled a steak over the wood coals, and gathering some leafy branches for beds and pillows turned in and slept tbe sleep of the just. "As we drew near camp the next-even-ing we saw a sight which sent us into roars of laughter. Will vmn ensconoed behind a barricade which he had made of saddles, boxes, bedding—anything he could And. He was standing there with a pale look of agony on his faoe, all the spate guns and six shooters carefully arranged around him. Two hundred yards away from the breastworks sat a half dosen 8hoshones looking utterly nonplused and disgusted. Coming up to the Indians first we tried to find out what the trouble waa. From their grants and grimace*, gestures and snatches of broken English, we learned that they had come to pay us a visit on the preceding afternoon. They had caught the young tenderfoot napping, and ho had not noticed their approach until they were within a few feet of him. As soon as he saw them coming up silently, as Indiana always do, he seised his rifle and frantically waved them back. Nor would he rest until they bad fallen beck to the position which they then held. "When we failed to appear that night tite boy immediately decided that we had hem maasacred and hastily began to throw up big breastworks. The Shoehonea rolled themselves in their blankets and went to sleep, but Will stood guard all that night and watched them with eagle eye until wo returned the next day.
