PEARY WANTED OPTIMISTS.
Once Had a Man with Him Who
Was a Cynic and No
Mistake.

Gen. Thomas H. Hubbard was TALKING
In New York about the advertisement tCI
an optimistic surgeon that Lieut.. Peary
inserted in the papers before the depart.
ure of his expedition.
Gen. Hubbard subscribed $40, 900 to the
expedition. Therefore, it is easy to see
that he has a profound interest in it, saws
the New York Tribune.
"Peary in his advertisement was right"
he said. ut is as ncedful that the ex.
petitions physician be a CHEEKY optimist
as that he be a practical surgeon. Op.
timism and good spirits go far in a voy.
age like this one. Perhaps it is because
there has not been enough optimism and
good cheer among men in the past that
the north pole has not been found.
When it is found, an optimist, com,
handing a band of optimists; will find
it, and there will be no such cynic in
that r~esolute and successful crew as the
one who sailed with Peary on an earlier
expedition.
"He was indeed a cynic. Let me give
you an example of his disposition, With
Peary one glorious night he paced the
deck. Pointing to the sky, ablaze with
splendid planets, Peary said:
isn't that a beautiful starr
"The cynic with a giunt replied:
Ibid you ever see an ugly one?'"
