too manifest to need urging. 1t is, wo
are persuaded, sufficient TO state the fact
ond call the attention Of people TO the sub

cumstances, pedestrians are entitled to
the midue of the road, on Sundays, during

and that it is the especial duty OF persons
with teams 20 be on the look out. and to
turn out, wi'bou, waiting to ascertain how
near they may drive to lady before she
will take the alternative Of wading a snow
