Mr.. Livezey Renews His Generous Prop
osition = Mr.. e. Livezey writes as follows to
the Baltimore Herald: II see It stated in the
Herald of February LIST that 'three-fourths Of
the largest taxpayers of the village of Cations
vile were in favor of Incorporation when the
effort was made some years ago and defeated.
It is not my intention to reiterate the causes
leading 60 the ueIeas q sne pfoP1ssa ans az
composed of some 800 OF our citizens deemed
it inexpedient,' and were opposed to the act as
proposed at that time, and although was one
of the taxpayers that opposed the act OF IN
corporation, was in favor of improving Ca
louisville, and proposed to be one OF one hum
bred or one of 'fifty to put up $500 EACH max
ing q fund of 5000 or $4,000 for the i'm
provement of Catonsville and have commit
tee Of three or five appointed out of those that
contributed to making such Improvements as
might be deemed necessary.
ssThe alleged three. fourths of the largest
taxpayers never responded to my proposition.
and no improvements have been inaugurated
The proposition to put an additional tax OF ten
cents on the 500 confined to the village proper
would amount to very small sum, yet II
would be burden on many that own tneir
small homes and I propose again that the
large taxpayers in and around Catonsviiie, VINO
seem to be interested in the improvement and
growth Of the village, should respond to my
proposition.

property. To improve our village would

 Let me hear the squshy plunk of the sympathetic tear as it hits the carpet with a dull thud and 1 know that my griefs are thine.
 For 10! my feet are scared with ham mering over the pike; yea, I have spank ed my weary feet along the pike and mercy the end is not yet.
 And there arose the dwellers along the pike and they fell upon me full'sore. Yea, bs Hector and Goshl They smote me hip and thigh from Ireland to the Tyro- lean Alps. With everything from the lus- cipus strawberry to Pommery Sec, they smote me, and with Lieber wurst. also, till my poor stomach crieth out to it's God for mercy and wisteth not where it is at.
 For how may we leave such fatness and go back cnce more to the hollow eyed sinSer and the lowly prune?
 Yea, and the hungry cockroach waiteth in that far-off home of ours and the memory of him is a constant reproach to us as we revel along the pike.

toward certain superstitions, notably the belief in the evil eyeEthe malocchio or jettatura, as it is indifferently called.
 I never knew an Italian who did not hold more or less to his superstition. Americans who have loved long in Rome either reluctantly admit that there does seem to be something in it. or, if they are Roman born, quietly accept it as ono of those things in heaven and earth of which philosophy fails to take account
 In certain respects the Italian is mar Ixedly free from superstition as compared with the Celt or the Scot; for instance, the fear of ghosts or spirits is so rare that have never met with it; on the other hand, the belief in the value of dreams as guides to action is deep-rooted and widespread. The dream book in some families is held hardly second in impor- tance to the book of prayer. The Italians eminently practical nature makes him utilize his dreams in playing the lotto," as the buying of lottery tickets is called.
 To dream of certain things indicates that one will be lucky and should play. The choice of the number is the chief preoccupation of the hardened lottery player. It Is decided by the oldest chance by the number on bank note that has been lost and found again, or the num- Der of a cab which has brought one home from delightful festivity.

 The wind carries away the spick and span young mans neat, new straw hat just at the corner of Fifty-fourth street and Eighth avenue. As it merrily bowled along the trolley tracks he sprinted In pursuit to the joy of the onlookers.

 It's all just like our own Bob Bur dette-all gladness and cheerfulness and sunshine, even when it's raining; and like him, too, 1t brings no regret ex- cept when you bid it good by.
