EVENING CHAT
BIZ RUTH CAMERON.

When you criticise folks and under
takings and conditions, do you criticise
constructively or always negatively?
The other day l was puzzling over a
birthday present for one of those diff
1cult people who have so very much
that it is almost impossible to find an
untitled niche in their possessions.
There were four people in the room
with me. AS I named over to them
the different articles I had thought
might be suitable, three of the four
spoke up Directing to this or that, and
only one made any constructive sug-
gestion.
think that was a fairly good ex-
ample OF the proportion of construc-
tive and negative critics in this world.
Negative criticism is of about as
much use as sign post which says,
This is not the way to so-and-so."
have an acquaintance who has ex-
quis1te taste in dress. I admired her
clothes so much that when 1 was go
ing to have a new gown 1 sometimes
talked it over with her. 1 don't any
more. For, whereas she would fire.
quently turn up her nose at my IDEAS
assuring me that ''she wouldn't think
of having that; nobody wore that sort
of thing now" she hardly ever offer
ed me any constructive criticism and
seldom said, IT would have this
And I think it was not because she
had any objection to sharing her ideas
either. Merely that the lazy habit of
negative criticism was so strong with
her that she couldn't escape it.
And most people are not only in
clined to be negative critics, but worse
still. they are apt to be also indefinite
critics
An honest. definite negative criti-
c1sm is worth something, but an indie
finite negative criticism is absolutely
valueless.
twentieth century business man
from the II WIZ city was speaking to
me one day of people who criticised
him, and this is what he said:
Il like criticism. But want it def
office and say, Look here you are
running your business all wrong. You
don't know anything about this bus
mess I wouldn't kick him out I'd
say, All right, tell me just what I'm
doing wrong and how I can do better
And If he could point out any mistake s
was making and how I could correct
them, I'd thank him and even pay him
for telling me what a fool I'd been.
But if he couldn't tell me anything
definite, well. then I'd think 1 had a
right to get pretty thoroughly mad at
him for daring to criticise me-
When a woman discharges her maid,
or an employer his employee, think
the employer should tell the one dis
charged exactly what was the matter
with the work.
And If the employer does not do this.
I think the discharged employee
should go to him, and frankly and
pleasantly ask for definite fault-find-
ing, so that when he rears new struc-
ture of service in a new position he
may rear it on the foundation of this
criticism.
The world needs definite construc-
tive critics very badly
But it doesn't have much use for
the indefinite negative critic.
Which kind are you?

KILLED 246,OOO CATS.
Report of the Operations of the S. P
ss G. A. for 1910.

New York, Feb. 2.-The annual re-
port of the New York Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, just
issued, shows that in 1910 the society
put to death 10000 small animals
gathered from all sources. OF this
number, 246,000 were cats. All were
killed by gas. The society's ambu-
lances responded to 1900 calls dur
ing the year.
Commenting on the unprecedented
number of animals executed, the re-
port says:
1.-The situation presents an apparent
paradox. That this society, organized
to prevent cruelty to the lower ami
mails, should become their executioner
on a gigantic scale is painful and
shocking.
Under the state law, owners of dogs
must pay license or the dog may be
seized. Owners of cats pay none. BY
reason of this difference the ranks of
the tramp dogs are thinning, while the
cats, untaxed, have multiplied"
The society urges an ordinance for
the registration of cats.

ROB I" STATIONS
Masked Highwaymen Hold Up
N. Y. Ticket Agents
At Two Different Points and

New York, Feb. 2.-Masked high

revolvers. At the 140th street station

He Represented Halderman in Private

facts in the Halderman case. Mr..
Halderman, whom I have known for
some time, came to me nearly two
years ago to get my advice as to the
advisability of going into a Mexican
land deal, L advised him to let it alone.
I saw nothing more of him until about
four months ago when he came back
TO the office stating that he had gone
ahead and invested in spite of my ad-
vice, and that he feared he had made
q mistake, and wanted an action
brought to get back his money. 1
