How many unpleasant collisions
would be avoided 10 the daily walks

tons happen 10 met on the sane
sidewalk, how delightful II would be
e the collidips parties would bear
gracefully to the right. Especially

be still further relieved If lhey would
unlock for mon nj and walk single
file until the pressure 10 over. The

every Sabbath BY tie contact fper
sons returning TiUm the various
churches would he greatly relieved
by o little attention to the legal d.
rection, and some study Of tho ele-
mepiary principles Of military tactics
