Makes Public Amended Plans
Hearing to Be Arranged
This Week.

George McAneny. president OF theBoard
OF Aldermen, made public yesterday
the amended plans for the site Of the
round county court house and reasons
for the eastward shift involving the CON
domination Of additional property and the
probable eventual sale by the city Of part
OF three blocks which we're condemnei
and bought but will not be needed IL tbs
new programme is adopted.
Mr. McAne2y says that the shift will
not only put the oout house IN a much
better position but will be OF pecuniary
profit to the city. The city paid sS.2tS..
SIS for the original site. The estimate 1
cost OF the modified site. including
81, 100000 for the part OF the original
site which IL to be retained and $685..
500 for the property to be acquired-an
estimate based on present ASSESSED values
--is s7.56s. 500.
The Indicated increase IN the cost OF the
modified ste is si.3a5,0oo. but rs, &C.
cordlne TO the estimate Of Mr.. McAneny
and others, the city would save sl,s15,090
N not being compelled to relocate rail-
road tracks, grade and arch the Centre

make other expenditures necessary under
the original plan the actual cost would
be less than that OF the site which the
city holds at present.

Moreover. Mr.. McAneny believes tina,
the three westward parcels OF property
no longer needed could he sold for more
than the city paid for them because Of

Keeping Them Both Guessing.

A woman, who has the problem Of
providing table fare for family, two
members OF which have directly con-
flicting tastes, solved it the other day
in a way that forced the objects of her
attentions to admit the joke was on
them. Her husband thinks there is no
better meat than pork, but declares
that even to look at veal is enough
to turn his stomach. The ideas of a
brother, who boards with the family,
are exactly the reverse.
Just before dinner she took her hus-
band and brother aside and told each
that his favorite meat was to be
served, but that she was going to make
the other think that it was what he
wanted. The meat was exceptionally
lean for pork, and fat for veal, so both
were deceived. After the meal was
over, each started to tell the other the
joke that had been played, and they
found that they we're both the victims
of It. All their, efforts since then to
learn what the meat really was have
failed.-Worcester Post.

THE GENEVlEVE WHOSE JAMES
SEES GREEN.
BY Helen clip

James and Genevieve sat on the
front porch of their cozy home nest,
and James gazed engagingly into
space, yawning occasionally with a
wide-open frankness that would have
stirred a pang of envy in a man-eat-
ing shark.
Genevieve gazed into space and lis
to die away among the dim distances.
In the course Of this lively debate,
large, red automobile whizZed by. or
rolled by, or simply went by or what
ever 1t is proper to say about an au-
tomobile when 1t In running rather
slowly. In this automobile sat two
perfectly unobjectionable young men,
one of them the head of the organiza-
ton from which James got most of
his business, the other that person
ages inoffensive and innocent young
er brother
These two young men looked at the
occupants of the porch, raised their
hats, and permitted a pleasing smile
to mantle their respective counten-
ances. Genevieve bowed with the
proper return of the courtesies of the
occasion, but her heart gave a sicken-
ing bound, came up into her throat,
choked her most awfully, and then
sank down, down, somewhere-not to
its rightful place, she felt perfectly
certain, but somewhere or other where
it was heavy and disagreeable, like a
brick, or ton Of lead. or a baking
powder biscuit that the cook had left
the baking powder out Of And mind
you, Genevieve was not in love with
either of those young men and hadn't
a guilty conscience anywhere about
her.
But
who the mischief are those fellows
bowling TO, you, Genevieve?" growled
James in a tone to which a peal of
thunder would have seemed the mer-
est atmospheric giggle. Who the
mischief"
why, that is Mr. Blake and his
brother, James" answered Genevieve,
gathering her voice out of the depths
where lurked her heart, and finding
it a shabby thing after she got it.

For five long months we had little

During the work of rescue Mrs. Jen-

her babies in her arms spoke words
Of encouragement to the sailors at

The Bridal rrousseau.

The old idea of providing brides
with a score or more of gowns, wraps
and hats has quite gone by. Even the
fashionable trousseau of today con-
tains no more than a dozen gowns, II
as many, Styles change so fast that
by fall the gowns for the June we'd
ding, necessarily made some weeks be-
fore the ceremony, begin to look odd.
Some authority has declared that the
best dressed woman in Paris buys no
more than three new toilets each year,
but the opinion may be ventured that
she is altering her last years supply
most of the time. The vast assert
ments of lingerie have also dwindled.

Noise the Measure Of Civilization.

Joseph Pulitzer once sent 200 cigars
to a steamship captain who saluted his
yacht without blowing whistle. The
celebrated editor loathed noises, and
especially noises which are avoidable.
But noise appears to be the measure
OF civilization. A Central African
tribe of 1000 persons does not make a
hundredth part as much noise as 1000
workers at Midvale. City people make
more noise than jewellers in the couR-
try.
One trolley car Jars the air to n
greater extent than so plows running
smoothly in their burrows. Fortune
awaits the man who will invent a
noiseless dining room on top of a tall
building free from orchestras, vocal
lists and other disturbers of the atmos-
phere.

fore such a misfortune ever happened
to her again.
But James met the emergency by
rising early getting down to the office
without any breakfast whatever, and
making life one grand sweet song to
his stenographer. 4
Well, Genevieve cuddled her baby
all the hours James was away, and
put the baby to bed early so she could
cuddle James till she had about lured
the dove Of peace back to its roost on
the portiere pole of her coy little
home nest And just about the time
she had got that wretched fowl inside
and the door shut, James was sitting
out on the porch one evening, gazing
engagingly to the void and yawning
as per program, and Genevieve was
strolling up and down the walk when
there drove up an elderly gentleman
of benign countenance and portly
figure, behind fast pacing horse.
The elderly gentleman was a friend
of Genevieve's papa, and in those earli.
er days before James had acquired a
Genevieve had thought about him as
friend Of her own.
The nice old gentleman drove up
and halted his pacing horse right OPP
posite Genevieve. why, hello!" he
exclaimed. How are you, Jenny?
Why don't you come over and see the
girls sometimes? They were saying
do fhnv
you were mad or hurt or something,
but l told them you had too much
sense for such nonsense. Jump in
and take little drive with me, can't
you?"
In the meantime, the nice old gentle
man had waved a friendly hand to
James, and James had stonily de-
clined to recognize himself as having
been waved at. He was sixty and
more-the elderly gentleman; he was
fat and bald and naturally homely.
And she used to sit on his lap when
she was a kiddie. But Genevieve told
him, Thank you, but | really have to
go in-I hear the baby crying
Whereupon, Mr.. Mann, out of his
grandfatherly lore, told her she heard
nothing of the sort. But, looking at
Gepevieve's eyes, he had sense enough
to see something-though, for the life
of him, he wasn't sure what-and he
didn't press the matter. He simply
said, lawfully sorry, I'm sure Come
over when you can" and drove away,
Ticking his pacing horse with the
whip, an attention greatly resented by
that pampered equine.
Whats the matter?" he unused.
Isn't he good TO Genevieve? If that
young scoundrel isn't treating my old
friends daughter right I'll And
then he shut up, seeing, like prac-
tical elderly gentleman. that he could
| do nothing whatever.
Genevieve turned away from him to
make a mad grab at the disappearing
tail feather of the dove of peace, but
II was too late James had not even
waited to storm. He had risen and
stalked into the house, with look
on him that would have soured the
milk of human kindness in the breast
of a newly appointed firstclass post
master.
What is Genevieve going to do about
this? Gracious, she is just going TO
put up with it. Il suppose" she whis-
pers to herself, james must love me
very, very much, or he wouldn't be so
fiji"
But what do you suppose will hap
pen the day that Genevieve wakes up
to the fact that what James loves is
simply. solely, only and entirely
