Should boys and girls have their
own allowance, in proportion, to the
means of the parents, as soon as they
are old enough to know the value Of
money? This is what many a parent
has said in substance: ~~~
Certainly. An allowance is the
best safeguard against the habit Of ex
travagance, If the child is taught to
spend the money judiciously and to
keep a strict account Of all expendi
lures. 1t is absurd to think that boy
is not capable Of buying his own neck

HAD CONFIDENCE IN PEOPLE
California Newsboy Lost Nothing by
Trusting to the Honesty Of
Hi Customers. "

Most people are honest: SO, at least,
reasons a newsboy in a California
town, and he has clear justification for
his confidence. The reporter Of the
following incident was in a downtown
drug store when a stranger, came in
with a copy Of a newspaper, and asked
change for a dime. He said that he
wanted to pay for his newspaper,
Someone remarked that for his part
he let the newsboys find their own
change.
"This newsboy cannot do it," said
the man with the newspaper. Come
out here and look at him" Two OF
three bystanders stepped to the door,
expecting to see a crippled boy with a
pile Of newspapers to sell. Instead,
they sawsa tin a with a hole in the
top large enough 70 ADMIT a nickel;
a pile 81 newspapers lying upon the
walk, and q card fastened to the can,
reading: ~
Gone to Sunday school for one
hour. IL youywant a paper, take one,
and put your nickel in the can"
The can, and pile. Of newspapers
stood. unprotected on the walk for
more, than an hour, while their little
owner was at Sunday school. Men who
passed by and were attracted by the
rather odd little news stand would
stop, read the sign, pick UP a paper
and put a nickel-and sometimes a
dime-into the little tin can When the
boy returned from Sunday school he
found all his newspapers gone, and
more nickels IN the tin can than there
were. papers when he left.-Youth's
