HOW TO ERECT A

Many Cities Without Works
For Proper Disposal.
SEWAGE QUESTION COMPLEX
Four Important Steps Should B e Taken
by Any Municipality Planning to Im­

th re e uspects or the w orks w ill corre­
spondingly be a failure.
T he first step to tak e w hen atta c k in g
e ith e r th e sew age or g arb ag e problem
is to m ake a study of th e ex istin g local
conditions and w orks, so as to be able
to advise u solution to protect health,
to avoid nuisance a n d to req u ire au

T he second step to be tak en , both

to m ake p lan s and estim a te s for cost

to th e b est experiences o f th e day.
Such plans should Indicate th e sim plest

c ien tly experienced to p rep are such
p lans. I f not, outside engineers hav­
in g such experience w ith th e prob­

T he th ird step to be taken. If th e
p lan s a re accepted a n d ord ered to be
cu rried out. will be th e p rep aratio n of

I m et Lillie Longm an an d w as in tro ­
duced to her a t a barn dance. I fell
head over heels in love w ith h er a t
once. T h ere w as som e a tte m p t a t fa n ­
cy costum e am ong th e girls, and Lillie
w as dressed like an Indian girl, her
long black h air banging below her
w a is t I knew scarcely any one th ere
and stood w atching a se t of d an cers
who w ere doing a qu ad rille or som e
o th er of those old fashioned sq u are
dances. Lillie w as bobbing about, feel­
ing bappy In th e consciousness of look­
ing very p retty an d show ing h er long
locks, and all tb e w hile sh e w as firing
quick shots a t me w ith her black eyes.
A fter th e d an ce I h u n ted for som e
one to Introduce me to Lillie an d w as
successful. T h e girl had know n 1 w as
w atching her in th e dance, an d every
one of her an tic s w as fo r me. I w a sn 't
a dancing man and persuaded her to
sit out a dance w ith me. T hen a nice
looking, d ap p er young fellow took her
for an o th e r dance, and I looked on
again. T his tim e her an tic s w ere for
me all th e sam e, b u t th ey w ere o f an
o th e r kind. She flashed her eyes a lte r­
nately a t me and Into those of th e fel­
low she d an ced w ith. I w as too stupid
to see thro u g h th is fem inine device
then, and It had Its e ffe c t Q uite likely
It would have w orked Ju st a s well w ith
me If I had seen th ro u g h I t W hen a
girl w ishes to a ttra c t an d a fellow
w ishes to be a ttra c te d It's th e e asiest
Job In tb e world.
It w asn ’t long before 1 w as going to
see Lillie. She w as a n o rp h an and
lived w ith her gran d m o th er, an old
lady d eaf as a trolley c a r conductor
whose c a r Is jam m ed full of stra p
bangers. She w as h alf blind too. But
she m ust have h eard by contact, w ith
su b stan ces if she d id n 't h ear thro u g h
th e air, and, as for seeing, th e d a rk e r
It w as th e b etter chance she had of
d istin g u ish in g objects. She w as like
other d e a f and blind persons In th a t
respect. Sue co u ld n 't see or h e a r w h at
she should see and bear, b u t had re­
m arkable facilities for d etec tin g w h a t
w as m ost Inconvenient for o th ers for
her to know.
About the tim e I m ade Lillie’s ac­
q u ain tan ce her g ran d m o th er w as ta k ­
en w ith her last Illness. Lillie loved
th e old lady, and her approaching
dem ise w as an affliction to th e niece.
As for m e I w as b u t tw enty-one vears
old and had y ears before m» In which
to do courting, but so Im p atien t w ss i
th a t 1 grudged tb e old lady w h a t little
tim e she needed from Lillie. 1 feared
1 would be too old for m atrim ony be­
fore th e Invalid got Into her g rav e and
ceased to require atten tio n .
Now th a t 1 look back on th is period
I can see th a t I w as very unreasonable.
I would go to th e house and w ait a
whole evening for Lillie w hile she re­
mained u p stairs w ith her g randm other,
hoping every m inute th a t she could
coma d ow nstairs for a brief sittin g
w ith me. One evening when I had
w aited a couple of boors in th is way I
concluded, considering th a t th e old wo­
man w as blind and d e a f and her Im
perfect senses m ust he fu rth e r dead­
ened by Illness, to go u p sta irs to the
sickroom, steal in and see If 1 co u ld n 't
get a word w ith Lillie.
1 tiptoed up tb e sta irc a se and to the
door of th e room, w hich fo rtu n ate ly I
found a ja r
Lillie w as sittin g in a
chair w here sh e could see me
She
