Turn to the Right Naturally.

The Philadelphia Record recently
quoted an observant street car conduc-
tor TO the effect that the right hand
seats are always filled first. He could
not account for this except on the
theory that as most persons are right
handed and accustomed to turning to
the right, it might be simply force Of
habit. There is another probable
reason which he did not think off,
says the Record. 1T is generally be-
lieved that the right side of a car is
safer. An old traveller once said to
the writer: In travelling always sit in
the middle of a car and on the right
hand side. The middle is safer than
the ends in collision and the right
side is mt likely to be "side-swiped"
by projecting objects on trains, cars
or any vehicles passing on the ada
cent track"

suit was that they at once recovered
confidence. He worked the gulch for a
long time and made plenty of money.
"The question has also been asked"
continued Mr.. Boehmer, where did
the millions of dollars taken out of the
California gulch placers in early days
go?
IF | remember rightly, no one made
very large pile, but there were scores
OF men who left the gulch with $25 900
or $4,000 and went back east to es-
tablish themselves in business or to
buy farms. AS a rule they were sober,
industrious. men, and the fortunes they
made in the gulch gave them a COM
petence which enabled them to pros
per in their undertakings in other
parts of the country. Denver Repub-
