 The Crowd woke Up.
 It was quiet on Dexter Avenue. where the tragedy of Wednesday after noon took place. The street cars, what few were running, were far away, and all was tranquil and still.
 A delivery wagon drawn by mule, perhaps more awkward and Engatnly than most of his tribe, ihtruded itself pheFe, but an accident happened us his driver urged him forward. First one foot and then another slipped on the street car rail ,and struggling, srawl- ing,i down went the mule to the pave nent, fiat on his side.
 AS the driver jumped from his wagon to prevent the struggling animal from breaking the harness and reducing the wagon by his kicks into kindling wood, the semi portion of the rop- ulace on Dexter Avenue awakened with start to the fact that "somethin' was doin'."
 It was on the spot where the double shooting affray had taken place. It was almost at the psychological mo- ment when soothsayers and prophets might, perhaps. assert that trouble was again to be expected. It was near the line of track where the striking street car men might congregate. And the combination of circumstances was too much.
 With bound men rushed to the spot from every direction and the coming of one started dozen others into ac- tion. The curiosity of the dozen att tracted- scores of others, The coming of the scores drew many others ,and almost in the twinkllng of an eye a crowd had sprung up in the center of the erstwhile peaceful street. each enc lighting with his neighbor in a mad ef- fort to reach the center of the crowd to find out what was the matter.
 About the time the driver had re- leased his mule and permitted it to get up, with his trapplngs unaarmod, the curiosity of the crowd had become sat- isfied, and its component part melted away in every direction.
 The street Is now as peaceful as ever.
 Crimes and Domestic TurmoiIS
 Did you ever notice how many more crimes are committed in the summer cry observer yesterday. NO? We'll, I have. In fact have been keeping cases on 1t for years. On a right not day the blood Is over-heated. goes to the head, men become irritable and trouble is easily started
 Tt Is just the same with some man who always gets up in a bad humor early In the morning. This, too. ap- piles to women. I really believe that 90 per cent of the family quarrels happen before breakfast is over
 :, knew one married couple that re- alized this. They agreed to have roth ing at all to say to each other until after the end of the morning meal, Just in this way they succeeded in making married life one long sweet song and during a long married ca- reer there has been no sound of dis cord to jar the perfect harmony"

 Street Signs are Needed.
 We people at home don't notice it, chant yesterday, but strangers "of- of- ten comment on the fact that the streets-of this city are much in need of being properly designated by signs sThese little wooden signs were post ed on the street corners many years ago. Those that have not been car ried away altogether, are so faded and matter of impossiblity.
 The only way stranger can get his. bearings nowadays, is to ask a policeman, and as new streets are be- ing opened. 1t is no surety that he will get the desired information even then. don't think 1t would cost very much to put up some new guide signs on the corners, and there is no doubt but that they would. be welcome to strangers within our gates"
