The Pessinlist.

"This world Is not so bad world as some would
like to make it.
But whether good or bad, depends on how ",
take IT,"
The musical jingle of this little
rhyme used to appeal to me when 9
boy, and now after reaching mans
estate, it seems to me that the whole
problem of how to make life happy il
solved in those two lines. There is nc
combination of circumstances thai
has not its bright side, and the great
number Of people who are continually
croaking about this or that are to be
pitied as much as condemned, for they
are indeed unfortunate. avery cloud
has a silver linihg," and it rests with
yourself whether you live iii the warm
bright sunlight of content or forever
abide in dissatisfaction and gloom.
Why is it that in newspaper articles
debating societies and general social
intercourse there are always people
who delight in proving, or attempting
to prove, by sundry facts and incidents
that life is not worth living? Such
persons seek out all the gloomy and
discouraging features of subject, en-
large on them to their hearts COZ tent
and derive some kind Of maudlin sat-
isfaction from dwelling upon them.
Such persons would have you believe
that misery, injustice and greed stalk tri-
umphantly throughout the land, while
purity, truth and righteousness are
merely Professionalism cloaks
for society to cover its many sins. OBJ
livious or disregardtul of the fact that
the exception only proves the rule, the
pessimist will point out with zeal and
perseverance worthy of a better cause
that because Senator Blank has been
accused OF bribe taking the govern
ment is rotten to the core. To prove
that marriage is failure and domestic
happiness myth, he brings numerous
newspaper stories, utterly regardless
of the fact that domestic bliss never
finds it's way into the public prints.
Seldom it is that the pessimist makes
success of life. All his views have
tendency to retard, rather than to
help forward; to drag down, rather
than to lift up; and SO he goes on
through life not only miserable him
self, but making others so. The harm
he does is proportionate to the amount
Of influence he wields.
Leaving aside the question Of ones
own happiness, how much better it is

pressure of superior races disintegrated
the three principal types, and their
consequent migration and settlement
in other hsbitsble portions of the globe.
For instance, the first type Of negro to
enter Africa from the north was prob
ably very simian in appearance;f and
but nttle-changed descendants Of this
earliest type, may be seen today in tbs
ape-like people of the Great Congo
Forest. Herodotus distinctly mentions
these people; their pygmy appearance
and primitive arboreal habits. Com
parative philology has recently shown
that the present human language is
polyphyletic in origin; or to be more
explicit, that several different Ian
guages must be recognized as having
developed Independently of each other;
nevertheless, each finding its root in
the inarticulate sounds Of its own
species, and only reaching the actual
rational language after the body had
developed into the specific human form
the latter metamorphosis occurring
about the first half of the Quarternary
epoch or the Diluvian period. Co-inci-
dent with this, and the assumption is
not beyond the pale of natural causa-
tion, man entered q domain, which
from that moment, marked him az. q
superior being, distinct from animality;
he ceased to be solely conscious, and
became conscious that he soas con-
lscious. A glorious attribute in lis
conception and its meaning: one that
has, and will blaze the way for him for
all time-opening up new vistas, new
possibilities, and with it, the fulfillment

that new feld--the field Of Psychofogy.

ANOTHER BAD BOY
Who Handled Gents Furnishings as
 Side Line.

The story of another boy who started wrong has been made public, though it is Of no interest now except as a warning to other boys, for the youth in question has lost his job and left the town. He was employed in a Phoe- nix store that carries a line of gents furnishings. His pals who had no job insisted that he should do some thing for them, as he had access to a great many things that boys could use or sell. Accordingly it was arranged that when he swept out the store in the morning he would put a nice shirt in an old pasteboard box and throw it out with the garbage. The pal was to be in the neighborhOod. and immedi- ately thereafter was to pick the box -Cut of the garbage pile and carry it away.
 Everything worked as expected. and probably the same play was made on various occasions till the boy was fin ally suspected and later caught in his evil practice. He was lucky in avoiding a court room.

AN OLD WAR.
Pretty Near Time to Stop.

Wouldn't it make your friend mad to tell her she was in reality drunkard, but many women are drunkards uncOn- sciOusly from the use of coffee, which wrecks their nervous systems, and they seem unable to reform.
 A lady in Philadelphia, Pa, was very badly affected by coffee, causing her to have nervous prostration. and she final Iy woke up to the fact that she was in reality a coffee drunkard. Her doctor had told her that she must give up coffee, but she seemed unable to do it. One day she read an advertisement about Postum Food Coffee and thought she would give it a trial She says Coffee had such a strong hold on me, that at first I did not make it all Pos tum, but added a tablespoonful of cof- fec After while I quit putting coffee in at all, and soon found l felt much better Continued use stopped my headaches and biliousness, and I soon noticed that my nervousness had evil dently left me for good.

RUNAWAY HORSE

A fiery, untamed sorrel horse with a swath down Washington street yes terday afternoon that came near catch ing a lot of people who were lettering in the tall grass.
 Where the horse came from or who he belonged to no one seemed to know, but when he was first discovered he was sailing west on Washington, be- tween First and Center streets, wear
 ing a good saddle and other adornments placed there by some equestrian. When he reached a point opposite Alkires store he turned in as though he wanted to buy a yard of calico, but he missed the door and fell against the west win dow. Rather he fell against the west cellar window, and therein is the great est cause for complaint. for the first man on the scene was Will Hefin of the Talbot & Hubbard store. As MT. Hchin's speciality is selling glass he felt provoked to think a horse could be so awkward as to miss a plate glass win dow ten feet wide.
 The horse slipped on the sidewalk and fell, and in regaining his feet he in some manner stripped himself of the saddle and other trimmings except the bridle. Then he ran into the stre1 again, and going west collided with a buggy driven by Mrs. D. l.. Sturges. The result of this move was to leave the buggy with but three wheels, one of the hind wheels being completely smashed. Fortunately the occupants of the hnpoV wore 1Inha rr11Pd
 The horse then ran west and was finally overtaken and caught by cat tleman named Collins who happened to be on the street and mounted.

RIOT AROUND DUTCH THEATER.
Strike of Choristers Causes Trouble in
 Amsterdam.

Amsterdam. September S.-The chOr- isters of the Royal Netherlands opera house have gone on strike. The man. agement insisted upon their attending Sunday rehearsals, which brought about the trouble.
 The strike culminated in a riot last evening. The socialist leaders and rel atiVes of the strikers occupied the ap- breaches to the theater, and prevented the performance of one of Offenbach's s operas.
 Subsequently, new chcristers had to be employed. They were escorted to their homes by policemen. A mob stoned the police, who charged the riot CTS. A general panic thereupon re- suited.
 The roughs of the city threaten to break up all the performances where tkc supplantcrs of the strikers appear.
