Keep to the Right.

A large number of bicycle collisions,
resulting from carelessness in observ-
ing the oldest and simplest law of the
road, keep to the right" has brought
to mind the possibility of establishing
here, as in large cities, police regula-
tion in regard to this important fea-
ture of modern street travel.
The accident Of Friday night, hap
pening to one of the most conservative
and careful riders of the city, was by
merest chance a very narrow escape
from a serious if not fatal injury.
When affairs of this kind happen to
veterans, what can be expected from,
or of, those whose years of riding ex-
perience is not measured in decades
The drivers of teams and carriages
are equally negligent in this aspect
and should be subject to the same
privileges and restrictions as the
wheelman.
Let every one keep to the right and
pass to the left, and serious and costly
smashups will grow more and more
infrequent until they have become on
ly part of the city's history.

A Find Philosophical Outburst.

n ] llu IlIIOSOpIiICdI OulDuTSl,
The familiar and favorite way of ex-
planning the correlation of force is to
trace the sunlight of a million years
ago in the blaze of the old hearth at
home; how that primeval sunlight was
taken up by the rich vegetation of
those early days, covered by advanc-
ing seas, changed into coal, and now
fills the old sitting room with a flood
of light and gladness. 1t is the same
old light that shone in the morning of
the world. And that big peach which
your friend is eating, in great Juicy
mouthfulls htat ooze and drip with
honey, and throws a glow of Joy and
brightness over his face, is only the
golden radiance that filled the morn
ings and caught up the fragrance of
roses and honeysuckles only last May
and June. A peach is concreted sun
shine with dash of clover blossom
and heliotrope in it.-Ironton Regis

INDIAN scHOO OILS.
Commissioner Jones Tells OF the Bens
eacent Eject Of Education on .
Race Of savages.

q Washington. Oct. 10.-The annual report
o. Commissioner of Indian Affairs William
A. Jones shows q general steady advance
ment in the condition Of the nations
wards" Education. the greatest factor In
solving the status Of the Indians, is being
pushed forward in the service and now
there are 1H well-eQuipped boarding
schools. and an equal number Of day
schools engaged in the education Of 23.-
952 pupils. The average attendance and en-
rolment has steadily increased for the
past q years. Vigorous inquiries made by
commissioners during the year show sig
nif1cantly that SO per cent. of these pupils
who have gone through the schools and re-
turned to their homes are reported to be
in good physical condition contrary to the
frequent suggestion that the change might
break a naturally strong and vigorous con-
stitution. or the pupils attending school
three per cent. are reported as excellent OF
first-class, 70 per cent. as good or medium,
while only "a per cent. are considered bad
or worthless, showing in the commission
er's judgment, the value of a system, which
can in a generation develop from savgges
76per cent. of good average men and women.
Agents are now being urged to greater ex-
ertions to fill the schools to the limit Of
their capacity by placing therein every
child of school age on the reservation
whose physical condition will warrant
school confinement, and future develop
ments, Mr.. Jones predicts, will undoubted-
~ emphasize that regulation enforcing
compulsory attendance upon the schools
must be enacted. The placing of Indian
children. in the public schools Of ,.e coun-
IT, for the purpose Of coeducation of the
races does not appear to meet with much
success, but fuller test Of its value and
practicability is to be made this year.
