goad In his right hand over his team.
In meeting a vehicle, turning to the
right was a necessity. Otherwise it
would have been impossible to SEE
whether the hubs of the wheels would
clear each other. AS the OK team was
the universal vehicle during the earlier
years of the colonies, the American
rule of the road was thus established.
1t is now too late to change it. but
with an automobile there is no reason
why the driver should sit on the right
hand side. He no longer needs to have
his right hand free for the whip; in
fact his right hand is needed for levers,
which ought to be placed. near the cen
ter of the carriage. Some manufactu.-
ers recognizing this fact are placing the
drivers on the left-hand side, where he
belongs, and where he will be in the
hest possible position to AVOID acci-
dents when meeting with carrages.-

In the rope with which the bundle was
tied, and in fash she was carried off
her feet and swept downward into the
valley. Half paralyzed with fear, her
little daughters watched her as she
sped from their sight with amazing
swiftness, and then they ran down the
mountain, fully expecting to find her
lying dead at the end of the wire.
And their fear was quite natural
since the mountain top from which
their mother had been torn is 800 yards

ON WHICH SIDE TO SIT.
A Question Which the Horseless Car
riage Suggests.

A Question Which the Horseless Car
riage Suggests.
The question often arises, on which
side ought the driver Of an automobile
sit? In England that question Is an
swered by saying the right-hand side is
the proper place. The reason for this
Is, that in England carriages when
meeting turn to the left and pass each
other to the right. A seat on the right
hand side of the carriage then enab es
the driver to see the space betwe n
the carriages and to govern himself ac-
cordingly. His seat on that SIDE and
the turning to the left arose from the
necessities of driver who handles
horses and must have his right hand
free, and at the same time be in a posi-
ton where he can see between the
passing vehicles. The next question
that arises is in regard to the position
Of the driver in America and our meth
DDS of turning out. Here we keep to
the right instead of to the left In meet
Ing vehicles and pass vehicles going in
the same direction to the left, reveis-
Ing the English and continental rule.
This custom has puzzled re'gners
as well as Americans. 1t arose from the
fact that during colonial times the OK
team was in almost universal use. The
driver In those cases almost invariably
walked. aud always upon the near
or left-hand side In order to have his

FLIGHT EXTRAORDINARY.
Peasant Woman Shot from a Noun

Teresa Falciola, an Italian peasant
woman, met recently with an eXtraordi-

village of Quarna, which nestles in Il
spacious valley, is high and wooded
mountain, and there it has been her
custom, as is general there, to go two
or three times week for the purpose
OF collecting tirewood. To bring this
wood from the preciptous mountain
was quite an arduous task. Therefore,
it was sent down by means of strong
metal wire, stretched from the valley
up to the mountain top.

little daughters ascended the mountain

Chicago invaded.

ONE night last week a band Of
thirteen we'll armed men landed
in Lincoln Park, Chicago, and pro-
ceeded to erect Notifications and
make preparations to hold the land
along the lake front against all COM
ers. Their contention was that the
"made" land along the shore did
not belong to anybody but was the
property of any settler who might
claim it.
One park official, a little more
rash than brave, attempted to drive
over their patrolled lines and had
his horse promptly shot. In the
shooting that took place, a boy
spectator was shot in the knee and
seriously wounded.
The police finally got into action
along in the following afternoon
and took in the invasionists with
out further bloodshed.

anything else for Indigestion or Bill

clean out the system and stop fer

late the liver, stimulate the nervous
and organic actions of the system, and
that is all they took when feeling dull

Bad Year for Winners.

mHILE 1896 was bad year for
the calamity howlers, as re-
suits wildly demonstrated, there is
abundant evidence that 1900 will be
far worse one. The dismal pro-
phecies so lavishly peddled through
the country for Bryan during the
last national campaign have not
only been thoroughly dlscredited by
events, but the people have had
time since then to look things over
and discover how absurd it was to
permit themselves to take fright
even momentarily at the grim fore
bodings of that reckless agitator.
In word, the thoughtful American
citizen, by devoting his leisure to
research and comparison, has be-
come pretty well convinced that the
country is moving forward rather
than backward, and that both con-
ditlons and prospects call for re-
joicing instead of complaint.
Some striking facts to support
this hopeful view of the situation
appear in the Statistical Alb
stract" recently published in Wash
ington. The tables presented cover
the period from 1860 to 1899 in
elusive, Take the financial situa-
ton, for example. The per capita
of money in the country in 1860 was
