Rules for the Road.

In recognition of the increasing func-
ton of the automobile and the ire
pressible conflict between cars and
crossings the following rules are sug-
gested for the conduct of pedestrians.
They have been culled from publica-
tions which have taken deep inter-
est in the subject and which have ar
rived independently at their conclu-
sions:
!. Article Each pedestrian shall be
supplied with a bell and a signal horn
which he shall sound at street inter
sections.
Article AT night the foot pas
senger shall carry lantern.
Article BIN case any pedestrian
shall by. his aWkwardness cause an ac-
cident the owner Of the car shall have
damages from the heirs of the de.
ceased. sssc>> :. ,4,-..Ieg "a
Article 1.-The country shall be en-
tirely leveled and paved with asphalt.
Article 5-Pedestrains shall be taxed
and the funds so accumulated be used
for state gasolene tank.
/ I Article 6-Walking shall be pro.
Inhibited entirely on Saturdays and on
Sundays from 2 to s pm.
Article 7-Automobilists going less
than forty miles an hour shall be ar
rested for obstructing the highways.
These rules are necessarily incom
plete, but they will be added to from
time to time as appears necessary.
- Some experts are in favor OF, ,prohib
iting walking entirely, but scientists
say this is not necessary. They point
to the fact that the disuse of mem

FROM ANOTHER POINT OF VIEW

A PARODY.
Onward, turn onward, oh Time, In thy flight
Make me woman just for tonight.
Deary fairy mother, thy help I implore.
Give me a dress that win trail on the floor,
And little white slippers with stunning French
fs heels;
Just for this once let me know how it feels
To be real lady with hair done up high;
It's so hard to wait till some day by and by
I am so. tired of playing with dolls
I want to be going to parties and balls;
The telle Of the evening know would be,
Toswaltz or two-step with some nice young man,
Or make goosgoo eyes at him over my fan,
And then to 80 by the dawn's early light,
With no one to see should he kiss me good.
g. night.
There would be more than one beau to my
Il string;
Down on their knees in devotion I'd bring
Each one Of my victims. And, dear goodness
fEt knows,
How I Of so much surplus love could dispose
But would be wise; oh, yes, very wise
I'd say: 1This is sudden; never surmised
You cared for me this way; I'm sorry tits true;
never can be but sister to you.'
Then. oh, to see them get down to despair
And rave as they tear out great handfuls of
hair:
"Oh, woman, deceiver and heartless coduette
That fond. trusting man should thy nature
re- forget,
And out they would stalk, without even bow:
So simple, you see If you only know how
Then onward, turn onward. oh hasten thy fight
Make, me woman just for tonight -.

go for long periods without food, In
Minneapolis there is very little extreme
poverty, and yet even here there is
plenty Of work for the poor depart
ment, the Associated Charities, the Sal
walton army, the churches and philan-
thropic individuals.
Sooner or later the question is forced
upon the conscience of every thoughtful
and sympathetic individual whether or
not he ought not to practice some per-
sonal economy in order to assist those
less fortunate than himself. Human ma
ture is really very tender at heart.
Suffering does not come because man
wishes his fellow man to suffer. But
Poverty Is so far removed from Com
fort that people do not realize, poign-
antly enough, its existence. We need to
have our social sympathies awakened
by some apostle Of the people like
Dickens.
One Of the most benefcent and scien-
tifc measures for the relief Of the un-
fortunate is that of the Salvation army
in providing rural homes for the city
poor. Families are taken from the
slums of great cities and placed upon
the land where they may become self.
supporting. Such system is mani.
testify far in advance of that charity
which consists simply in aims giving. II
solves at single stroke many social
problems. It not only temporarily al
lays suffering, but removes the sufferers
from an unwholesome, unsanitary, i'm
| moral environment to an atmosphere
where they may become sound, and
healthy and happy. It makes then
self-respecting, and relieves. the com
munity Of the burden of their mainte
nance. 49,. .-. -.,. .-.. .s
Such wise and truly humanitarian
measures as this, will, in time, bring
| about the regeneration of society.

Campaign Funds.


The call for campaign fund of
500, 5000 for Mr.: jerome is significant
of the extent to which money has
entered into the politics of our cities.
There is no suspicion that a. cent of
this money will be used for corruption,
yet the expense Of running Mr.. Jerome
as q reform candidate exceeds the
salary Of the office for the four years
he. has occupied it. The itemized, &C.
count of what this money is for is not
complete, but some of. the items are
for watching the polls $4,000, for
printing and posting $40, OOo.~~ Rent of
halls, carriages, expenses Of speakers
and many other smaller items Of a
campaign will easily eat up the rest.
Some Of Mr.. Jerome's expenses will
be proportionately higher than they.
would have been had he taken a. party
nomination. Fer example, the poll
watchers, that is the men who check
the voters as they cast their bal
lots and keep tab on who has voted and
who has not, could do the work for a
whole ticket, but in Mr.. Jerome's in
terest it will cost as much to-=do it
for him alone, In the matter of hiring
halls he will be put to larger ex-
pense than another, a candidate on on
ticket with obhers;4and so it will 90
thru the items. E....-- = =.
Be he neverso popular candidate, d.
!, man could not hope:to be elected to an
office in New York without; q LARGE
expenditure Of money by or for him.
The voters of the eslums expect to
be treated, and while Mr.. Jerome will
do very little Of this personally, he
will have to be represented by5some
one who can go into the sodden. dis.
tricts and pull out some votes.
The encouraging thing about the
jerome campaign is not that he9 isapre.
tending to run without money,but that
the people are making a subscription

II you wish to know exactly what Is
going on at Panama, the following state
rlnent, made by Chairman shonts, will be
of interest:
We. now have $4,000 men employed in

tr1outlng material; $500 repairing and
constructing buildings, and $500 in the
Culebra cut, where we already have six

soon as the type of canal is decided upon
we can get right down to the solid dig

work putting in railroad yards, wharyes
and docks at both ends Of the line. With
IN two months we will be able to handle
all the canal freight and traffic at these
yards and wharves, leaving the old ia
cilities Of the road for the regular COM

doing, but that the "solid digging" has

months Of this diet they felt no i'll ef-

experiment was that both soldiers and
athletes gained in bodily strength dur
ing the test, according to careful ex-
periments.
The main features Of the restricted
diet, as arranged by Prof. Chittenden,
are reduction in the amount Of meat,
and an increase in the vegetable diet,
which will give equal bulk without an
excess Of proteid. This diet, he main
