The Optimistic Sir Thomas.

Those who are inclined to doubt
the existence Of real optimism on the
earth should reflect on the inter-
views with Sir Thomas Upton, after
the first defeat of the Shamrock III.
in the International cup races
The dispatches say that Sir Thomas
still wore his smile that won't come
on when the reporters climbed over
the rail to get his opinion Of the race.
He assured everybody that he was
disappointed but not discouraged, and.
in short, he was as confident as he
had been before the opening of the
first race Of the series.
There can be no doubt Of the gen
uineness Of such optimism. The Re.
lance clearly ~outsailed and outpoint-
ed her rival in the very kind Of wea
Their for which Sir Thomas had been
praying, and yet the Upton smile
never dropped at the corners, and the
Upton voice never lost its confident
ring.
Clearly Mrs. Wigs Of the Cabbage
Patch, and all others who have preach
ed optimism, are rank amateurs ii
cheerfulness in comparison with Sil
Thomas Upton. Such an example
ought to be worth a good deal to peo
pie who find it hard TO cheer up under
discouraging circumstances.-Denye
Republican.
