 On the sidewalks of the crowded streets of New York and Brooklyn a gentleman whose acquaintance among bicycle riders is quite extensive has, as matter of curiosity, watched his cy cling friends walking to and from busi- ness. Almost without exception they pass to the right when meeting other pedestrians and to the left when pass ing them from behind. When turning corner, the pedestrian who has learned to cycle hugs the wall closely if going to the right and Is almost sure to make long turn if bound to the left.
 If all pedestrians would observe the rules of the road on the sidewalks as well as the experienced cyclists observe them on the highways, there would be fewer toes trampled upon and fewer persons nudged ill the ribs by protrud- ing and sharp elbows.
 There is nothing more annoying to the participants and nothing more Imaginable to the spectator than to see 1 two persons dancing up and down and taking series of side steps because both started to pass each other ill the wrong direction

The boy finished and looked up at the
young business man but received for
his news only the stony glare For
any interest shown it might have been
craven image receiving the news. The
minister in startled surprise was gratifi-
ed to find here one young business man
who was perfectly Indifferent to the
vicissitudes OF the pugilistic Carnival
IN the west. With word expressing
disgust the good man returned to his
subject OF saving the lowland.
About the time tie young proprietor
thought the bsy was due again. he ex-
cused himself on some trifling pretext,
slipped out the door and received the
news Of the second round at the corner
of the building. Then he went in
again and discussed the Graham Tay lor
Sc Element with the minister. He found
an excuse for going out for the third
round and by nice adjustment took in
every message during the fight without
slipping a cog-sxcept one. At the
tenth round a customer detained the
young man. The messenger boy broke ia
the door and filled the room again with
his startling information.

A shade of distrust spread over the
minister's face and hint Of suspicion
crept into his voice as the two men
again picked up the work Of helping
downtrodden peop'e. But the young
man kept his nerve and carried the
game through without CULVER.

man said it was the most delicate thing

social, moral and relief work among the
people on the bottoms. He was Just
starting in on an explanation of plan
for lifting young boys and girls out OF
the atmosphere OF vice and ignorance,
when the first breeze from the fight
sailed through the door. The young
fellow who had been engaged as
messenger lad burst in.

farmers front yard fifty years ago.
Those yards were in no sense places Of
pleasance. When the trees had at
tanned their growth by KILN, out the
grass and shutting out all sunlight from
the front parlor." the farmer glanced
at them with satisfaction as he
drove by to the back door
yard where the sun and his children
played together. The birds avoid the
evergreen tree which is tit only for the
sides OF snowtopped mountains where
larrh, EN-, chestnut and birch cannot
grow. The shade trees whose high
branches shelter birds and shade the
children are the trees for this latitude.
The study OF the uses Of sunlight ard
air is lowering the death rate and in
creasing the number of velvet lawns.
Uncle Jake Wolfe cares naught for
hygiene. He holds that what was the
pride of his grandfather's heart is good
enough for him. So he has planted
several hundred small evergreen trees in
close contiguity on the state house
grounds. 1t is most unfortunate that
our system OF politics allows man of no
taste. culture or knowledge to arrange
the landscape for a people as refined
and progressive as Nebraskans. The
duties that the honorable Jake is at
tempting to perform require accomplish
menls of taste and education that he does
not possess. He has made Of the noble
possibilities OF the Capital grounds

has done with the grounds what John
Currie wants to do with the Tennessee
marble. Protests are idle for we are ir
the hands Of the Philistines and they
will hang on to their job as long as there
is any thing in it, whether the citizens
whose views they ruin, and whose air
they impregnate, like it or not.
While Senator Howells Of Omaha was

does not increase the scale OF wages
though it increases the number OF en-
ployes. But what is done, is done. The
president believes the country can be
cured by faitening the manufacturers.
His career is due to the encouragement
OF this idea and the protests Of m lions
OF farmers cannot stir the tixity OF the
tariff idea. Benevolent as he is the
president thinks they do not know what
is good for them. An effective cartoon
could be made on this subject with the
