We SiiOld Have Street Signs.

While the laugh is going round about
the combination OF an advertising
scheme in connection with the street
signs, as proposed by some of the aid
ermen at recent meeting, the propo
sitIOn TO mark the streets in manner
which will be clear and correct, should
not be lost sight of or forgotten Su-
perior is a city large enough to have her
streets and avenues marked in a syste
matte and uniform manner, so that
people, whether strangers or not, may
be able to get their bearings without
inquiring of people who may be living
near by. There can be nothing objec-
tionabie in the neat little blue board
with clear white letters, as it often APP
pears at the corner Of the street. fast
ened to either building, gas lamp or
telephone pole, and we earnestly petit
ton the city council to lose no time IN
taking steps toward uniform mark
Ing of the streets and avenues OF the
city.
Another thing which needs attention
is that Of announcing the location of
the key to the fire alarm boxes. We
venture to say that not one family in
twenty in the city could tell where to
find the KEY in order that a fire alarm
might be rung in at the fire depart
meut headquarters. In many OF the
cities it has been found an absolute ne
ces-ity TO have the key attached to the
alarm box, as the sad experience in
the loss of valuable time spent in try
ing to locate fire from a telephone
cali instead of the proper use Of the
fire box, which could not be used as
the key could not be found, has often
cost thousands of dollars worth CT dam
age and unnecessary lJss. While the
city is III such a sad financial condition
We can hardly expect that this I'M
proved system will be adopted ut pres
ent, vet We do think that list of The
locations of the keys should he pup
lished, and posted ut every alarm box.

A Good Story at the Expense OF
Matt Carpenter.

Mr. Carpenter could laugh as heartily
at Joke of which he himself was the
victim as he did when others were
made ridiculous. Here is story he
once related. In the early days he, as
well as other attorneys Of the mctrop-
oils, were occasionally called upon to
conduct causes in the country districts.
Once during an unusually severe winter
a term of court was being held in a
small village in the interior that boosted
of but one hotel or tavern" One
evening the crowd Of llwycr5 after ding
court were seated around the huge box
stove in the waiting room" of the tav-
ern telling stories as they ende2vored
to keep warm. The door opened and

He stood outside the circle OF favored
limbs Of the law. rubbing his benumbed
fingers ana vaInlv endeavorlEg To catch
some warmth tiltering through the i'm
penerable line Of legal lights. Finally
Mr.. Carpenter noticed him and resolved
upon having little harmless fun. "G on
look as if you had travelled consider
ably" he remarked to the you'll.
''Iaas," was the drawing response,
I've come good bit" Il suppose
you've travelled good deal in your
day." said Mr.. Carpenter. Inqulringly.

4 Grand success.

That's what the fair given by the
Ladies Aid of the First NJ. +. Church
might be called. The supper served on
Tuesday evening was excellent and a
large number of our people ayailed
themselves of the opportunity Of get
ting a regular "Mcthodist stew" which
has reputation second to none. The
fair continued Wednesday afternoon
and evening, when light refreshments
were served. We believe it is safe TO
say that the ladies cleared so, and still
have many articles on hand which they
hope to dispose of before Christmas.
For the length of time they were en-
gagged n getting their wares ready We
should say the affair was q grand sue
cess.
