His COMPLAINT.

"The street car service, from AL
amo street to the cemetery" said a
Commerce street merchant to a
LIGHT man, ais very bad and
needs reformation. l live on that
road and have often twenty min
utes or a half an hour to wait for a
car. The trouble seems to be the
men lie as long as possible at the
cemetery end, and when they get
to Alamo street have not a minute
to stop at this important junction,
Then again they have a regular
hOodlum as a conductor. He an
noys passengers by singing, whist
ling and hurrahing acquaintance
as they pass, and if the passenger
object he guys them and acts in a
most discourteOus way. l don't
think either Mr.. Weiss or Mr.
Greer know this or it would be
speedily rectified."

THE q OF 1T.
Why the Alarm of the Breeding
Fire Was Not Promptly

In the Breeding fire Tuesday
much loss could have been saved
if the fire alarm could have been
promptly given, but when the
keys we're sought for none could
find out where they were located,
and as a last resource the alarm
was given by telephone. 1t has
been suggested, and the idea is a
good one-that every box should
bear a label or inscription showing
where the keys can be found,
and this suggestion should be
adopted. The painting of the fire.
alarm boxes the same color as the
mail boxes is also confusing and
some more distinctive color should
be adopted. Men have been known
to spend some time in trying to
place a letter in a fire-alarm box
under the impression that it was a
receptacle for the mail.
1t has been suggested that the
fire boxes have a white band
placed in the centre of the red to
distinguish them from the mail
boxes, and this would be emble-
NAUTICAL for the red is for fire and
danger, the white for peace and
security. 1t is also rigid that the
electric light globes at fire
stations should be red with a
white band in the centre giving
an unmistakable sign at a distance
of the place wanted in such dire
emergency as a fire.

How He Found It,

Yesterday a boy found a Knight
Templar watch charm, and so in
formed a LIGHT man. The notice
of finding it was in the LIGHT on
the same day, and within two
hours afterward, the owner was in
possession of the valuable charm,
all the more precious from the fact
that it was a presentation gift, and
but for advertising, this charm
would most probably have been
lost to the owner forever. Moral
Advertising pays.

the tale of both parties and decided
that the sister take her brother, as

BUY Ar HOME.

While everybody is complaining of
hard times, there is prevailing tend
ency to make them still harder, by those
who are sufficiently fortunate to be able
to visit the worlds fair.
Because Chicago is great city, thou
sands who visit the fair think there
must necessarily be great opportunity
for bargains" and in addition to their
fair expenditures they equip themselves
to do some trading. The glamor of get
ting something better because it is
bought away from home amounts almost
to disease.
The result is that the country is not
only being drained of money by visitors
to the fair, but merchants are being
seriously embarrassed by loss of home
trade.
1t seems probable that 1S,0OO,0 900 peo-
pie will go through the turnstiles at
If they eXpeud on an average but $50
each in Chicago it makes S360,000, 900
drained from the country.
SO far as such an expenditure is de-
voted to seeing the fair, it is laudable,
but if in addition a hundred millions
should be spent in the purchase of
goods which can as we'll be obtained at
home, the people have taken that vast
sum from their own bailiwicks. and just
so far contributed to the depression of
trade at their homes.
Chicago furnishes an object lesson in
SelfishneSS which other portions of the
country would do well to emulate. All
of Its citizens stand together to keep
their own money at home and get as
much as possible contributed to their
voracious nav by outsiders. 1t is this
spirit of standing oy their home which
has developed Chicago.
st. Paul merchants offer as good
prices and variety as Chicago, and
Northwestern people visiting the fair,
who desire the advantages of a large
city for making purchases. can find
them here at their doors, where the
money expended will be kept for home
circulation. While the rule should
apply at all times, self-interest should
induce people during the present bust
ness depression to be especially Jealous
in standing by each other in their re-
spective localities.
1t is case where the display of a
little selfshness is matter of self
preservation.
