ment In Her Service.
For some time Mayo lGackey and
a number of citizens have been agitat
ing the propagation a numbeflng and
naming the strsts ef this city. II has.
been talked over by many and the City
Trustees have taken action that viii
finish the job and render Carson
somewhat up-to-date. The movement
has become necessary, as many stran-
gers are taking up residences here AMI
the old timers even demand change.
It has always been q case Of guess
at the place where one lived, and In
order to direct person to q resi-
dence. 1t was necessary to describe
. block Of land and sub section it Dy
counter signs and land marks.
Instead Of this practice the street
corners will be named, the homes
numbered and thus an improvement
that not only looks wen, but is an ad-
vantage, will be inaugurated.
The system adopted at the meeting
is q very simple and effective one,
and the intersection of King and Car
son streets will be the starting point.
Going south on Carson street all num-
bers on the right hand side will be
even, while those on the left win be
the odd ones. This applies to all
streets running north and south. On
all the streets running east and west
going west the right hand viii De

street travelling either way. >.
At King street intersection Carson
street toward the railroad will be
known as North Carson Street, and on
the other side Of King and running To-
ward the valley. as South Carson
street.
East and west strets will be divided
the same. For an example the News
ONCE oficial address will be Is East
Musser street, while the Curry engine
house will be 100 West Musser street
There will be one hundred numbers
to the block and your number can ca
silly be figured out by counting your
block from Carson or King street
whichever your street runs into. Al
though It is likely owing to the small
est of the blocks, it is likely that
fifty numbers will be adopted instead
of one hundred.
About 1000 signs will be required
to mark the streets and they will be
made of aluminium with the letters
raised in relief and painted black.
On Carson street every crossing will
show four of them, with two on diago
nal corners, while on other streets
two will be placed on one of the cor
ners.
This action of the City Fathers II
one that will bethoroughly approved o
by every progressive citizen and viii
be q source of satisfaction to all .e
sidents and visitors. 1t is step TO-
advancement.

Progressive Editor.

A very rich mar once bought a news
paper. 1t was an afternoon newspa-
per. and he was interested in it for a
month or two. One of his ideas was
the publication of a noon edition that
should contain more news than the
noon editions of his competitors. He
thought hard on this problem and
finally decided it would be a great
stroke TO print the decisions of the
United States supreme court at II
O'Clock each Monday when the court
was in session.
This plan was complicated somewhat
by the fact that the supreme court does
not meet until noon. However, the
editor was equal to the emergency. He
telegraphed TO his Washington CORE
spondent. "See the supreme court at
once and have them meet at IL o'clock
so we can get the decisions in our noon
edition."-Saturday Evening Posi-.

Roxsetti and Whistler.

Whistler a sketch for a painting and
asked him how he liked it. 1T has
good points, said Whistler. Go
ahead with it by all means"
A few weeks later he asked how the
work was progressing. "All right
answered Rossetti cheerfully. "Tve
ordered a stunning frame for it,"
Happening in at Rossetti's in Cheyne
Walk, Whistler asked to see the can
vas, which was brought out beauti-
fully framed.

saw it. have your said Whistler.
NO." replied Rossetti, "but I've writ
ten a sonnet on the subject II you
would like TO hear it."
The former of course assented, and
the poet-painter %thereupon recited some
lines of peculiar tenderness and mel
ody. They were barely ended when
Whistler broke in with:
