West Superior, Wis, Sept. 1S.-For
several days this city has beer covered
with dense smoke from the numerous
forest fires south of here, but no danger
was anticipated until to-day, when the
fires approached this city forced on by a
strong wind. The fire departments were
called out and the flames We're extin-
guishcd before they reached any of the
buildings on the outskirts of the city.
A number of small fires burning in the
city limits where land is being cleared
have also been ~extinguiShed. There is
no possible danger of the fires reachila
this city.

VENERAIION TO THE DEAD.
This outward show Of respect dates from the
time wheni It was q universal custom to pray
publicly for the dead. Up to the year 1850 the
calling out OF the names OF deceased persons
Was part Of tho duty OF the curious confrater-
nifty Of Partisan public criers. These men
went about wearing a white tunic embroider-
Cd with black tears and death's-heads. Even
In the middle of the night they did not hest
tats'to ring their bells as they walked along
And awaken tho citizens with their lugubrious
