Some people don't really know what they want. A farmer living near Mary vile, Missouri, heard a short time ago that the electric line which it is pro- posed to build from Maryville to St. Joseph would cut through his farm. He forthwith went to town and made a big roar to the projectors. He didn't want the line across his farm or near it. He declared that The would stand in his front yard with shotgun rather than allow the surveyors to come his way" and angrily refused proposition to sell his farm at a high price in case the line ran through it. When the survey was finally made, the mans farm was miss ed by several miles. Instead, however, of being gratiied, he changed his mind and concluded he wanted the line near him; and so he hurried off to town again and offered to donate a right of way through his place and to take stock in the company in case 1t built in his direction. He went away gorrowing, however, for the survey was finished and tho stock was all taken.

Tax Lew Five Mills.

At the last meeting of the Board OF
Supervisors it was decided by the board
that the levy for common county pur-
poses should be five mills, a reduction of
one mill from the levy Of last year. This
reduction OF the levy was brought about
by the close economy of the board in
public matters. While there have been
many. Improvements going on during
the year the members have so carefully
guarded the interests OF the people of the
county that they are able to make this
reduction in the tax levy for the next
fiscal year.

Julia Morelli lived on the top noor

ing In the rear OF the four-storied

on Mulberry street The four-storted
building had little air and sun
light to give to its hundreds OF men.
women and children.
In the winter the building in the
rear was comfortable as home. but
In the summer 1t was fearfully hot.
and everybody had to sleep on the
roof. Here little Julia. for she was
only fourteen years old and small for
her age. could lie awake at night and
look up at the stars and dream OF
Pasquale.
He was her neishbor. He lived in
the front house. He was eighteen.
and he was tall and brave. and gave
her the peanuts and apples that he
could not sell. so that she loved him
and he loved her.
Julia's father was a shoemaker, and
Mad but little liking for Pasquale.
All of the Bucios had been ne'er-do
wells, he declared. the father had
died and left his only son nothing but
. pushcart and a barrel OF apples and
bag of peanuts. Pasquale had
worked hard. he admitted. but he was
not In q good position. and his trade
did not pay well. for the policeman
aAe half his stock in trade on some
days. and on other days waited until
he had sold three dollars worth OF
apples and peanuts. and then arrested
him and took him on to court. where
he was fined all that he had made.
No. Pasquale was not the man for
Julia, her father declared. Tor she was
extravagant and used to every COM
fort. such as shoes in the summer
time and new shawls when the patri-
otic sons Of Italy had their picnics in
Lion Park. So Julia was told never
to think of Pasquale again.
Julia was sure that she loved Pas.
uuale, and she knew that he loved
her, too. So that 1t was all soon ar.
ranged.
Pasquale said that he would make
q formal offer of his heart and hand,
and then, II her father would not let
them get married. why they would do
SO anyhow and ask his consent after
ward. Then he went away.
The next morning when her mother
went out to market she was ready.
She crept down the stairs and then
through the alley to Mulberry street
and then down to the Bowery. Pas
quale was waiting for her. They got
on the elevated and went away up
town.
Now we are safe said PasQuale:
they will never seek for us up this
far. and I have bought a shoeblack

wanted some clothes. for she had left
everything at home Pasquale roiun-
teered to go and get them for her.
She was afraid her father would kill
him But he said he was not lfraid.

in.
Suddenly Pasquale heard the door
open. Julia's mother came in. She
had the little red shawl about her
shoulders. She had her basket on her
