He Who Runs Nav Read.

compared to Europe every American
city is far behind the times in the matter
Of lettering the streets" said Paul G
Bushby, an American artist. Take Paris,
for example. After countless experiments
the city government came to the ConClu-
sion that the only satisfactory way Of
marking the names of streets where stran-
gers can read as they run was not on the
street lamps nor on small strips of wood
or tin on house corners, but on permanent
metal plates attached TO the corners of
houses. These plates are very large, the
letters are half a foot or more in length
and are raised. These letters are painted
white, while the background is painted in
cobalt blue, which enables one to read the
name of the streets at night as well as in
the daytime with little difficulty. Every
sign also indicates by appropriate letters
what arrondissement, or ward the street
Is in, so that there can be no mistake about
the political subdivisions of the city.
When man moves into another quarter
of the city, he has only to go to the near
est street corner and look at tho sign to
find out in what ward he is living. Signs
on lampposts are all right in their way,
but the lamps are often broken, and n
small sign on house corner is 90 times
out of 100 invisible to the naked eye. -

Our School Again: Sometime ago we
called attention to matters in our school
affairs, principally noticing the new coat
of paint applied to the outside of the
school house, and limiting that at some
future time we should refer to the sub
jeCt again, after the committee, who
were mostly new men in the work, had
time to examine and ascertain definitely
what changes are required in order to
imropve the standing of our schools. In
a village like ours unGer the present
school laws, two difficulties are always
present in greater or less degree, which
must be overcome before any advance
ment can be made beyond the standard
of district schools fifty years ago. These
are, LIST. Irregular attendance, and End,
indispOsitOn of officials to enforce the
law in regard to the same This delin-
quency, no doubt is the result of care
lessness and indifference on the part of
the parents, and of want of zeal and
purpose on the part of the committee to
enforce the law against offending pupils
and parents. Now, while there is No
sufficient excuse for this parental indif-
ference and official dereliction, it is new
ertheless true that the evil exists, and is
principal factor in the inefliciency of
our schools. For committee who dis
regard their duty in securing regularity
the attendance of pupils, will often fail
IN providing competent teachers and in
exercising such supervision over the
whole school work as to warrant the
best possible results for the money ex-
pended. Really, our law, because of its
inadequate section, has amounted to no.
thing more than recommendation, and
for want of proper incentive its require
ments have been utterly disregarded. In
answer to the inquiry, which here may
interpose: Do these comments or hints
apply to our Graded schools? We an
swer: If parents and officials will visit
its several departments and examine the
registers and work of the teachers they
will be able to reply without asking.
Arthur Lester, commonly called
Pete" opened pool room in the old
P. E. Brown block last spring and kept
soda water, fruit confectionery, etc. He
was doing quite business, but was not
satisfied with that and it is said went to
selling rum. U. S. Marshal Harris of
Bennington arrested Lester for selling in.
txicaoting liquor without license. He
was taken to Bennington before Commits
sioner Bates, who continued the case.
Lester had hand cut off last year by
buzz saw and he has the sympathy of the
community, but that should not lead
him to violate the law.

Fate In Its Honest Old Age.
Daniel Websters old yellow wagon now
stands in drcary spot on Pettis plain in
Greenfield. If it could speak, it could tell
an interesting story.
Once tho family wagon of the great
statesman, then to be finally sold for a
bull terrier and allowed to stand on a
dreary plain, filled with snow in winter
and to be used as the roosting place of tur-
Keys, tells in single sentence some of the
mutations of fortune that have come to
me old carriage. Notwithstanding the
hard luck that has come to it in it's old
age, it still retains evidence that it was
honestly and faithfully made and is ca
pable of doing still further service.
1t was made for Daniel Webster some
where in New Hampshire about 1928 or
1880. 1t was taken to Marshfield when
the great statesman was at the zenith Of
power and reputation. 1t was frequently
used by Mr.. Webster and members of his
family. 1t was then that tho name of
yellow wagon" was given it supposedly
because it was painted yellow. Years aft
er Mr.. Webster's death it was found stored
away ON some beams in an old shed. 1t
was sold to Willard Houghton of Hough-
tom express. He had the wagon put in
order and used IT,
Something like dozen years ago there
was a craze for old wagons in Franklin
county, and the Webster wagon was pur-
chased by George T. G. Holden, now of
Hudson and a well known landlord, and
who was then residing in Greenfield. The
old wagon was made to look as well as
possible and 1t excited much interest. 1t
was used by Mr.. Holden for pleasure driv-
ing and was shown at various times when
collections of antiquities were exhibited.
In time Mr.. Holden disposed of his liv-
cry business to Thomas Minis, now of Ath-
oil, and the old wagon went with the re-
mainder of the stock. Mr.. Minis had no
use for the old wagon and traded it one
day to Henry S. Wood, receiving in return
pull terrier dog. The dog was named
Daniel Webster and is still alive and own
cd by tho Minis family in Greenfield Mr..
Wood used the old wagon until he tired
of it and then allowed it to stand out of
doors OH Pettis' plain. 1t now has for
company several broken down carriages,
and the turkeys that roam over the plain
use it as roosting place at night.
One or two boards are missing from the
bottom Of the body, but otherwise than
this it is capable of rendering excellent
service for many years to come. The aXles
arc entirely of wood, and all the iron work
is hand mUde. The springs are of wood
and are attached to the body by leather
straps.-BCsuun Globe.

If women sometimes convey their feel
ings too strongly in their letters, it must
not be forgotten that men are guilty Of
the same otfense. There is no man living
who would not gladly call back some let
ter which some time in his life he has
written and regretted afterward. Men are
as often swayed by angry passions in their
letters as women are by their emotions
The art of letter writing has not been con-
quered any more by men than by women.
In fact, a glance over tho literature of the
world shows thiS the truest and best mas
tiers of letter writing have been women. A
woman writes far more natural letter
than does a man. She may require more
space wherein to 90 it, where man would
employ terseness. But what man ever yet
begrudged woman an extra sheet, or thHt
inevitable postscript which so often says
more than her whole letter? A man al
ways writes a letter by a certain formula.
A woman ignores all formula and writes
as she feels. True, woman's way may not
always be the safest, but it is the most de-
lightful all the same. It's just the differ
ence between sp0ntaneity and study
