Some complaint has come re-
garding the giving of half the
road in case of an automobile
coming up behind team. The
parties claim that when they
come up behind a fellow with a
team he stubbornly refuses to
give any of the road, no matter
if there is plenty of room to turn
out. Now the law recognizes
the rights of both the man with
the team and the man with the
auto, and these rights should be
There are plenty of
men who are running autos who
should be driving OK teams and
vice versa, but all men should
not be treated that way. The
law says that when a man is over
taken by a faster vehicle, the man
driving the slower vehicle shall
turn out aud give half of the
beaten path.

Few people have any idea
what an incentive it is to both
teacher and scholar to know that
parents and outsiders are taking
a lively interest in their work.
We believe the little folks" at
school appreciate such interest
more perhaps than the larger
ones. Still the effect is not lost
on any of them, and we hope
every parent will take a hint
from this and place the public
school on their visiting list.

 A similar case was that of Thomas Hume, whose history of England our forefathers used to read with such relish though few people now read 1t, when a mere lad took the wrong side in a de- bate which involved the evidences of Christianity. The impressions then made upon his youthful mind never left him. His objections to the miraculous set forth in the New Testament, live even yet. MT. Ingersoll and all modern assail- ants of the scriptural facts, have used Hume's arguments; and though they have been overwhelmingly defeated and destroyed they are still used by ration alsts Many who heard MT. Ingersoll's assaults thought that he was original in his arguments. But he was bird that dressed himself in others plumage. Thus does the wrong side of that early debate live to this day.

 There are few towards in this world, believe me-defining cowardice as the lack of moral and spiritual bravery, and not as the non-possesson of pugilistic powers. Certainly the number of men I know embarked on enterprises for which they are unfitted are far removed from cowardly thoughts. Not cowardice, sure ly, is the action of that man who removes himself one whit further from the task in which he might do himself and the world more lasting service. Rather, it is nearsightedness.

 London was a mass of fire and ashes. The people thought that the judgment day had come. The horror of 1t all be- came the subject of song and story.

 'Savoyard' has laid the doctrine bare. It is designed to reduce the cost of raw materials for the benefit of manufactur- CTS.
