The Rule of the Road.
From the Cleveland Leader.


It is said that the rule OF the road"
as it exists in this country. had its origin
centuries ago when armed men. in pass
ing one another. kept to the right in order
that they might have free play for their
sword arms. That it is not as satisfac-
tory as the English rule of passing to the
left is becoming more and more evident.
A movement has been started in France
to secure the adoption of the English
road rule throughout Europe. govern
ment commission has been appointed for
the purpose and with the aid Of the con-
stantly growing army of automobilists,
who appreciate the superior advantages
Of the English custom, 1t hopes to be able
to bring the change about. Canada uses
the left-hand method and some Ameri-
cans located near the Dominion border
have adopted it. With the attainment of
closer relations between the United States
and Canada, automobile trips back and
forth across the ST. Lawrence are sure
to become more common That this will
| this side of the boundary is certain.
| The habits of years are hard to break,
| but 1t seems sure that the American rule
| of the road is destined to go. The in
| creased use of automobiles in itself may
| be sufficient to bring that about. Already
railroad trains pass one another to the
| left and the day is coming when street
] cars will also. if for no other reason than
F! to overcome the bad results of Woman's
| refusal to use her left hand in alighting
| from them. The change in the rule can
| at most be nothing more than a question

The Last Birds of Summer.

From the New York Evening World
Bird songs are lu]led. but the birds
themselves are more numerous than ever.
The robins and the rest did their war
bling in the mating and brooding season
now they are fat. prosperous and prosaic,
and put in the time teaching their young
sters the art of aviation in readiness for
the migration south as soon as the snow
flies, If not sooner. Other feathered
monoplanes from farther north are stop
ping over here also in numerous focks.
Like the theoretical children Of Should
Be-Land, they are seen rather than
heard.
In Bronx and Prospect parks and over
in Richmond borough, and out from the
sibly. in that of Montclair, n. j.. where
shooting up the nests at night is the sea
sonable sport-it is worth while during
the next two months to wander observ-
antly and be your own Audubon.
The thrushes and wood warblers re-
main. kingfishers haunt the shores.
Amid somber cedars and sumacs tipped
with flame the cedar birds fit, where
plums and berries. are plentiful. Robins
are after dried wild cherries yet. Some
voluble catbirdS are still about 1t may
be only fancy, but they seem to shun the
dogwood trees. Not SO the bluebirds-the
scarlet berries must look good to them,
for they often perch on the picturesque
bouRhs that in May were snoWdr1ftS, In
October resemble conflagration.
Bank swallows lease is almost up on
cave dwellings in sandy slopes or under
beetling cliffs Swallows are strung along
the telegraph wires as though expecting
message from Dixie. Bobolinks and
pewees. vireos and Wrens. thrashers.
grackles. red-winged blackbirds and
purple f1nches. redstarts. the busy wood
pecker and the small white-breasted nut
hatch, all are on the job. Maybe even
a scarlet tanager is rushing the season.
Look up these little chirpy friends in the
birds who's-who, and the country walk
cannot be lonesome or dull They are
guaranteed to demonstrate to all corners
that, song or no song, the poetry of
earth is never dead.

Treharne was working about twelve
feet from the ground and in some
manner or other caught hold of the
wire. The current was sufficiently
strong to prevent him from releasing
his hold and telephone message
was sent to the plant to stop the ma
chinery.
The order was complied with at
once and Treharne dropped to the
ground. Superintendent Bentzinger
and L. r. Sheriff. of the Peoples Gas
& Electric company hurried to the
scene at once in an automobile and
Treharne was conveyed to his home.
1t was found he was not seriously
hurt. The dampness of the weather
made the tree an excellent conductor
and the same cause acted to permit
some OF the juice to escape through
the insulation of the wire. Street car
passengers who were disconnected
by the stoppage of the cars will un.
derstand the cause of the delay.

Pattison never had gone in much
for burglar chasing, but he wasn't
afraid Of a burglar. Or II he was he
wasn't going to let his wife know It.
He arose from his bed and strobe
bravely forth, stubbing his great toe
as he did SO.
Then he paused to think what
would be the best way to approach
the burglar. He thought and thought
and by and by q thought came out.
He would call little Prince. Mrs Pat
