1t is estimated that bicyclist can

The society girl who has been SO gem

are embroidered true to nature. The
four sides of the pillow have twist Of

Facts That Are Not Known by All Who
Go Upon the Highways. .~syt
The talk of the many thousands Is often
turned toward the law of the road, for
there is no one who does not make use of
roads, either to ride, drive or walk upon.
For tho protection Of the travelling public
it is necessary that certain rules regulat-
Ing travel upon the public highways be
generally observed.
Our statutes do not require q traveller to
keep upon any particular part of the road,
nor to turn out in any certain direction.
But it Is univrrsal custom in this country
for vehicles ana animals under the charge
of man to take the right side of the road
when meeting others, if it is reasonably
practical to do SO. A team should in gen.
eral keep the night side, whether meeting
another or not. Yet, whom two are going
In tho same direction, and ono wishes to
pass the other, he should pass on the left
side, Ats the first team has the right Of way
ind cannot be expected to devjate from his
course upon tho right SIDE Ono passing
another must use great care to avoid a col
lision, as nothing but necessity will war
rant him in doing this, for both, going in
the same direction, belong upon the right
side, and by any deviation from his prDptr
side one assumes all risk Of the expert
ment. The rule must be very strictly OBJ
served at night, or when, by reason "
storm or fog, it might b. difficult to dis
tinguish others approaching ~

of q horse must use ordinary caro- in its
management, and is liabl': for all damage
caused by careless driving, and il he leaves
his team he must use ordinary care il
hitching it, for if /. horse left unhitched
starts and occasions damage the RESPONSE
bility rests upon him who neglected to
hitch it. Eut if team is hitched with
ordinary care and is frightened by some
unusual disturbance, as by II runaway
team running against it, and the team so
hitched break ks away and in turn runs and
causes damage, no liability rests upon him
who carefully hitched his horse.
The III ovement of sleighs and slcds upon
the snow being comparatively noiselcss, it
is customary to attach bells to them or to
the horses, and the want Of bells would
render person liable for damages. Bicy-
cles are regarded as vehicles and are sub
ject to the same rulcs-they must give way
to heavier vehicles, and foot passengers
must in turn give way to them. Massa-
chusetts laws require bells to be attached
to all bicycles. AS no one is Obliged to
build fences next the highway, tho use of

to travel upon it, so drovers of cattle and
other animals are not responsible fog dam
