SOUTH PASADENA

SOUTH PASADENA. April 24-(Reg-
ular Correspondence.) The people of this
little city are still awake and active in re-
gard to the proposed boulevard from Los
Angeles to Pasadena. Three considera-
tions settle the question in their minds,
that the route will come through South
Pasadena, viz: First-The favor with
which the Los Angeles committee re-
CARDS the proposition to start from til
plaza, run eastward to the Mission road.
thence toward Alhambra until striking
Fair Oaks avenue, and on it toward
Pasadena. Second-The influence of
Alhambra in making connection with
this route. Thira-The favor with which
a large portion of Pasadenans regard the
proposition of connecting with the Fair
Oaks route at Columbia street, running
west on that street to Pasadena avenue.
thence north on that slightly drive to Col
orado and onward. This admits of very
desirable optional divergence into Or
ange Grove avenue from Columbia
street.
The proposition to widen Fair Oake
to one hundred feet, curb, gutter and
macadamize in harmony with the rest
of the route, has been signed by the nee
essary majority of real estate owners on
the avenue. The proposition is to avoid
the crossings of the Santa Fe and Ter
minal roads by tunnel at their juno
ton.
South Paeadena's public library is a
significant indication of the intelli-
gence and refinement of its people. After
three years use it is now necessary to
keep il open every night except Sunday,
and three afternoons. The registered
calls during the past month were 1100.

the whole show and one lone copper was
all that remained in the purse.

AN EYE ON THE CHAIN
If No Other Part of the Cycle Is Kept
Clean. Be Sure That Part Is

Be sure that you do not forget the
Importance that attaches to the chain
of a bicycle. 1t is, of course, an absoIuta
essential, but it can be made plsas-
ure or a pain, as the owner of the wheel
sees fit to care for 1t.
A dirty chain increases the labor OF
propelling the machine at least 10 per
cent. 1t also wears out the bicycle much
quicker than might be expected from
natural causes. 1t strains the frame
because of the added force with which
the rider pushes the pedals.
Not long ago wheeman at the rest
on Fort Hamilton avenue plaza of Pros
pect park was complaining bitterly that
his. bicycle ran like a load of stone"
He had poured oil into the bearings
until the machine fairly dripped with
OF. 1t did no good. 1t never struck him
that the chain could be out of order.
That was the secret of all his trouble.
Mud was caked on every link and, a
thick, gummy substance haG collected
on all the teeth of the sprocket wheels
The chair was working, through this
mixture, and quite naturally worked
with anything but ease. 1t bound an !
chung to the wheels like dry mucilage
brush to sheet of paper
When the chain had been rubbed off
and a small stick had successfully been
used to poke out about half a dozen
ounces of black gum, the wheel ran with
something of its original ease.-New
York Journal.

The Origin of Names

Where a community persisted in call
ing a man Black, it was useless for him
to try to call himself White-he had to
asquiesce in the choice of the majority.
This class is the most difficult of all to
do justice to in the short space OF a
paper Indeed, the bases of nicknames
are SO numerous that it is almost i'm
possible to classify them. Physical
peculiarities, complimentary Gas Strong

Sheepshanks, Crookshanks, Heavisidea
etc.; mental attributes as Grave, Stern
Wise, Sage, Moody, Proud, Courteous
(Curteis), on one hand, and on the other
Blythe, Gay Foolhardy, JULY, Meek,
etc.; nicknames from complexion and
color of the hair, as Black, White,
Brown and Browning, Ruddy, Readman.
Hoare, Gray, etc, nicknames from pc
culiarlties of dress Curtmantel, Short
hose, etc.; from social position, as Bas-
tard, Lacklands and so on; from the
animal and vegetable Kingdoms from
birds and fishes.
Then compounds were made by ap-
plying a sobriquet to a Christian name,
as Mickeljohn, Llttlejohn, Brownjohn.

was Properjohn These names appear

honesty that comes from generous feel
ing instead of business necessity than
there is in older states. There are prob
ably fewer people in the west who would
contest school bond or municipal
bond for some trifling irregularity after
the money had been received and in
vested in a schoolhouse or water works
or other Improvement of which the peo-
pie were receiving the benefit. 1t is not
actual repudiation that capital fears 80

that can give pretext for it if any trou-

for municipalities "lie down" much more
quickly than individuals when the bur-
den becomes too great. The investor
also wants his securities so free from
all question that he can readily sell
them at any time he may need money
or so that he can readily borrow orthem
without any question being raised as to
their legality.
One who has never been in the line of
investment or seen many inquirers for
investments would be surprised to know
how far this western failing may affect
even the sale of a ranch or a house
And he would be quite as much sur
prised to find how 1t affects the investor
Of small means as we'll as the larger one
1t is ali very we'll to sneer at the million
aire. but where there is one man with a
million afraid to make a move there are
quite as likely to be hundred men with
ten thousand each. Those are the ones
that have made California what it is
and not the big millionaires And they
are quite as afraid, Of wool as the larger
ones.

fine sample Of woolly legislation The
author of the act, Mr.. Wright, who
knows more of its defects than anyone,
was never consulted about it and ap
parently no one else who did know had
anything to do with it. 1t does not
touch the seat of the trouble, and the
amendments are generally of the Jim
Grow" order. 1t only changes about 2
per cent of the old law. Instead, then,
of seeing that the other ninety eight
per cent corresponded exactly with the
old and repeating the old in toto it re-
peals the old only so far as inconsistent
with the new, thus adding new batch
of lawsuits to the difficulties on hand.
Some will say this was done purposely,
the bill having been prepared by an at
torney. But this is not probable, for
attorneys, in spite of the popular belief
hate uncertainties as much as anyone.
There is at best enough uncertainty to
make them plerty of business and any
more only increases their work and an
noyance out of proportion to the extra
pay they get for it,
Not being in the practice of law, can
afford to say that almost the whole of
this Wool.inesS in the west boW comes
from the failure TO employ good lawyers
and to pay them enough to enable them
to make a thorough study of a new sub
ject line by line and follow every ques-
tior, like ferret into its last hole One
must be we'll paid to do this, for it means
plenty of work and plenty of thought
One should study new subject like the
Wright law in the same way ore would
set about to write a book on some i'm
portant subject where great accuracy
was required, There are lawyers
enough who can do it, but they cannot
do ii for common pay nor can they al
ford to go to legislatures to insure good
laws even if their advice would be list
erad to if they should. But it is certain
that in the past the west has paid high
for wool and is still paying far more
than it should pay.

THE MASTERY OF BOOKS; HINTS

LIBRARIES. By Harry Lyman

The American Book company sends
out this most attractive volume-at-
tructive, at least, to those who find in
the headings of certain chapters the
very questions that have often perplex-
ed them: what to Read" How to
Read" Memory and Note-Taking, >"
Reading Courses" Books on the Sub
ject Of Reading" Reference Books ard
Catalogues" Periodicals" These are
some Of the titles that interest even him
who goes no farther than the suggestive
table of contents. Mr.. Koopman's pur-
pose is wholly practical. He omits cer-
tain "delightful' features of allusion
and Illustration, but quotes authorities
and puts his statements in a clear. terse
way that is irI itself delightful. To the
perplexed lover Of books this is earnest
ly recommended A list Of books is
added for the benefit of those who want
