good authority that the end of the en-
gineers' strike is not far distant. though
yesterdays rumoTs. which caused a rise

mature. 1t appears that the London
engineers have consented to abandon

A Good Roads Court.

A Maryland judge has decided that a
town ordinance prohibiting the riding
VI wheels on sidewalks when the
streets are impossible Is not effective.
The rider who was arrested turned on
the sidewalk to avoid an exceptionally
bad place in the roadway, and, al
though he rode a distance Of only twen-
tyfive feet on forbidden ground, a war
rant was issued. The evidence showed
that a wheel could not be pushed
through the mudhole, and the court, in
dismissing the case. ruled that under
such conditions riders and drivers
were justified in trespassing on private
property. 1t is possible that the higher
courts may not sustain so liberal rul-
ing, but its reversal will not deprive
the judge of the lower court of his rep
utation for common sense.

Have gone to other lands
One to the prairies Of the west.
And one across the sea:
The rest have reached that blest country
Where partings may not be.
The elm boughs tap the skylight dim
As. in the days agone.
They tapped to waken merrily
The little folk at dawn.

The shattered window pane.
Yet grants admittance TO its friends,
The sunshine and the rain.
No step. no whisper. breaks the hush
But hist! A sweep Of wings
Athwart the attic's drea ming DUSK
And tender twitterings!
A tenant for the empty nest?
See-from the window ledge
A phoebe bird calls to its mate
Upon the cradles edge!
And in the cradle. vacant long.
Four downy Hedgelings peep
And cuddle close. They'll dream Of winga
And twitter in their sleep
All through the quiet summer night:
While on the dingy wall
Fit silently the thin. weird shapes
That come at mOonlight's call.
O life and love that were Of yore!

And the little birds are left.
