While not officially confirmed, it is confirmed by general understanding that Nineteenth avenue is to be a boulevard, and as such legally protected against railroad tracks. The city has acquired by deed of gift the right of way for a driveway across the Laguna de Merced rancho, and Nineteenth avenue as a boulevard will be the only con- mection with such driveway. It opens an additional outlet to the ocean, which is very desirable, and it should not be surrendered to THE Board of Supervisors should not grant nor sell a railroad a railroad.

The franchise on Nineteenth avenue is sought by promoters of a real estate scheme laudable in itself, but its value to the city is not sufficient to justify the surrender or sale at any price of the only opportunity we have for 2 boulevard leading into new scenery and reaching the ocean beach at a new point. In Oakland the San Leandro road was formerly practically a boulevard. It was used extensively as a picturesque driveway. But it was given over to an electric railroad and spoiled entirely for the use it had so long served. The deprivation was so keenly felt that the county has made a large appropriation for a scenic boulevard north of the old road and skirting the foothills. to be preserved frem the use of any railroad. We may learn some- thing from the experience of our enterprising neighbor across the bay. If we surrender Nineteenth avenue as a boulevard and turn it over to a railroad, the recovery of an equal facility and necessity will cost us many times what we get out of the railroad. We hop'e that the Supervisors will ponder well these considerations and re- fuse the franchise when it is applied for A policy holder who would surrender his policy now would be in the situation of the bank depositor who would throw his money at his banker’s head because he was dissatisfied with the interest paid on his deposit.— Milwaukee Sentinel. e A former Assistant Secretary of the Treasury says there will be no more dummies in Jlif~ insurance.

She ‘t0o, was damp and dismal. There was bitterness in the curl of her lip: “1 have just come from Mr. A's,” she explained, mentioning the name of ‘a less prominent member of the profes- sion. “It seems very queer to me that | I can’t do anything about this thing. | My husband died about three years ago and left me $10,000 in cash—he'd had his ]ife insured in my favor. Of course, | there was nothing for_me to do but | Invest it so it would yicld an income. Well, T put a large part of it—about $5000—in oil. 1 believed the people who advised me to do this were per- | fectly rcliable. But my confidence in | them has been much shaken. TPerhaps I am growing to distrust humanity too much”—a little timidly. “We didn’t get | any oil, you =ee. But they were posi- tive we should. So it really wasn't their fault, was it?” 1Tm‘: woman came into his office “But, madam,” said he, “about just | what did you wish to consult me?” | "Oh, that was about the chicken farm; I put $2000 in that. And I think | I ought to have it back. | “You see,” she continued, “I don't really know whether 1 ought to ex- pect to get back any of the $5000. But I just know you ean think of something to do about the: money I dut in the chicken farm. I went into the oil busi- ness of my own free will. But that horrid old man just made me have the chicken farm. And I just know you can do something to him, for false pre- tenses, or misrepresentation, or some- thing. He said, when he first came to see me, that he thought the ecil talk was & scheme. He said the oil was not | a substantial, sensible Investment. He | said chickens, that people need to eat and get eggs from, were easy to raise. It was a sure thing. He said he would sell a farm cheap and start me with some of his own hens.” “Well?” queried the lawyer. *Well,” she resumed, “I bought the farm and the chickens. The chickens had something the matter with them— cholera, or something; they've nearly all died. And the farm isn’t good for anything but chickens, I guess. Mr. A says there's nothing 1 can do, He says I bought the farm of my own voll- tion or something. And—and he says”’—she gulped—"he says I've been A WEAK WOMAN AND HER MONEY. . ——— EX g a fool. Isn't there something I can do to that man? I've got about $1500 left—we've been living at my father’s, and I'd spend every cent of it. I paid Mr. A $200 for his advice,” she added. “And I paid another man $400 before that. I ‘was sure you could think of something to do.” And it was hard for the lawyer to meet her look of hopeful confidence with the reply, “I'm afraid not, madam.

Don’t find fault with those in your charge, in the mistaken belief that con- demnation is a greater spur to achieve- ment than praise. Don’'t withhold an encouraging word from a deserving one, thinking thereby to stimulate him to better effort. Whole- some praise s a greater stimulus to achievement than condemnation can ever be. 3 I am aware it is the principle of many practical, sensible business men to em- | ploy the negative method of directing and training others, offering as a reason the statement that only by severe criticism and fault finding, or by alt :ther with- holding expressions of sati.action, can an. employer hope to get the best work trom those in his cherge. There are teachers, also, who maintain that to praise a pupil means to spoil him, and there are parents who, laboring un- der the same delusion, very rarely ap- | prove openly of their children’s efforts |and achievements. It is amazing how | few of these presumably intelligent per- | scns realize that discrimination should be used in putting such a principle into practice. : The same treatment that would apply to one order of mentality might prove utterly disastrous to the growth and well- being of another order. The question of difference in disposition | and temperament plays a most important part in this matter of praise and blame. The employe, the teacher, or the parent should study the dispositions of those un- der his or her jurisdiction and be sure the harsh method of treatment will be beneficial before applying it; should look closely and determine whether, after all, praise might not kindle into life certain qualities 7in certain dispositions which seem to benefit not at all by censure. Whereas blame may be instrumental in spurring one man to greater effort, it may utterly discourage another and par- alyze what powers he does possess. A teacher of music said to me recently: “I always study my pupil before deciding whether to praise him frequently or em- ploy severe criticism in training him. I find it is a matter of temperament. Con- demnation may be meat for one pupil and poison for another.”. | And she is right. There is a certain super- | sensitive, conscientious, introspective type of person that is often disheartened by the negative method. I have known such persons to be completely thrown out of balance and prevented entirely from do- ing themselves justice because they were continually being found fault with and their most earnest efforts ‘were unappre- ciated. A pupil that is told repeatedly of his dullness, his failures, his inferior powers, grows at last to doubt himself—to ques- tion his own abilities. ‘When a parent continually finds fault with a child, she projects upon that child’s mind a certain picture, an image of itself which it cannot forget. What is this image? An fmage of faflure and wrong doing: The child may strive with all its might to do better, but it will T HIS is for employers, parents, teach- Policeman — @id that mfi: s LT "CAST YOUR OP W T MIRROR OF DAME FASHION LATEST MODE IN THE SHIRTWAIST SUIT.

I never yet heard a wo- man say that she was a horrid, deceitful creature.” A TALK WITH ELNATHAN. I heard you say, Elnathan, that you would never marry a girl unless. she was beautiful, pure, bright, witty, edu- cated, refined, a goed housekeeper, fitted to shine in society, tasteful in dress, eco- nomical, and several other excellent things that I forget at this moment. This is what you said, Elnathan, and it makes me tired! We will not mince matters, my boy—and It really did make me very tired! . Who are you that you dare look upon a beautiful, talented and pure girl and | even dream of possessing her? You are but moderate In ntellect, and the Al- mighty has forbidden you to be anything else; you will “pass tne crowd,” if the | crowd is large enough; you are just about as decent, and not more so, as the rest of the fellows in your set—and I toss no bouquet at you in saying it. And yet, against feminine wit and grace you would set your gross commonness, and you would match her purity with— that which you are, and I need not tell you what it is! Elnathan, if I had your “nerve” I never would be compelled to pawn my winter overcoat. If you insist upon marrying a girl who is all that you say she must be, you had better straightway take your nose out of the trough if you do not wish to make her mightily unhappy, for a good woman can imagine ‘that a seventeen-ounce brain weighs seventy ounces, but she cannot forever fancy that ‘“the husks that the swine did eat” are ambrosia. “Miss Darling’'s amounts to heroism.”" “What makes you say so?” “Why, she went automobiling this after- noon.” “Well, her bravery sinks into insignifi- cance when compared with that of her sister Mabel.” “What makes you think so?" “She went out for a walk on the street while Miss Darling was driving the auto- mobile.” ALFALFA PHILOSOPHY.
