ENFORCING TRAFFIC RULES.

The number of serious street acci-
dents occurring recently seems to have
forced the police into a campaign of
stricter enforcement of the traffic or
dinances. The first three days of this
week seven drivers were in municipal
court charged with turning corners to
the left short. All except one or two
of these were drivers of horse drawn
vehicles and two of them were farmers
residing outside the city. Each one
paid the minimum fine OF 81 90 and
costs. Some took it philosophically,
particularly travelling man from Osh-
kosh vino suggested that the automo-
bile law did not apply to him as he was
driving Ford. Others made howls
that could be heard block and ex-
pressed their opinion Of the police in
language more forcible than polite
This is an important regulation and its
enforcement, particularly on down
town corners, is commendable. The
rule is not complicated. 1t requires a
driver of horse drawn vehicle, as
well as a motor car, TO keep on the
right side OF the road. In turning cor
ners, turn to the right short, close to
the curb, aud in turning to the left
make big turn out to the center Of
intersection. IL all drivers would oh
serve this and motor drivers keep
within the speel limit Of l5 miles and
do not pass standing street cars there
would be no prosecutions.

A hat brush which is carried within
the hat itself is recent Paris nov
city. 1t can be used with felt or silk
hats. The brush is Of small size and
very light weight, and is provided with
n clamp which allows of fixing 1t in
side the hat, and in this position 1t
is out of the way and does not add
materially to the weight OF the hat
Such little device will prove most
convenient, either for ordinary times
or in travelling. Two kinds of brush
can be used, according to the case,
that Is, fine brush for felt hats, or .
plush makeup for use with silk hats.
The brush, in any case. does not weigh
more than half an ounce Scientific

The HERALD BOLTS. On Satur day
last The Chicago Herald, the ablest
Democratic paper in the United States,
came out in opposition to the democrat
ic state ticket OF Wisconsin. This has
produced CONSERVATION among the
Milwaukee bosses OF the party. And
well it might, as The Herald has a
large circulation in the state and Is the
recognized organ OF true democracy
throughout the northwest. 1t declares
that "the issue was raised in Wiscon-
sin by few Milwaukee demagogues
who care nothing for country, nothing
for democracy, nothing for state. 1t
boldly decla res that "the law can be
attacked only by falsehood" and that it
has been attacked only by falsehood'
and that 1t has been misrepaesented by
every democrat In the state who has
been seized with the itch for Office. "
1t pays its respects in no uncertain way
to the Milwaukee demagogues and says
there Is no democratic campaign In
Wisconsin, and that no democrat wor-
thy OF the name can indorse by his
vote the disgraceful surrender which
the Milwaukee blatherskites now ask
the party TO make"

George Burnet doesn't know any
more about a dog than an Indian does
of the classics. He has another dog
tagging after him now, which looks
like cross between a porcupine and a
sheaf of wheat. The brute is an unex-
ampled specimen of animate homeli-
ness. But George thinks he's hand
some. But then Georges judgment
on dogs is-well fellow would need to
employ seven different languages to
fittingly describe his obliquity TO judg-
ment on dogs.
