contributed the, following poem to the OPP
timist movement:
Look a. here, you runty growler,
Quit yer crOakin' quite so much,
You're a gloomy, dismal bowler,
Kickin all you see er touchi
Round up all that bunch o. trouble,
An corral it for awhile!
Let yer bottled spirits bubble,
Be an optimist an smile!
Cut out all that dreary sghin',
Work yer face into grin;
If you tumble, keep a-tryin',
Till yer on yer pins agini
Let or Grouchy know fer certain
You can't cotton to his style;
Roll up Troubles darkened curtain,
Be an optimist an smilel
Be it fair or stormy weather,
Don't you git morose an biuel
Never let the whtened feather
Wave in triumph over you.
Don't fureVer be a'talkin',
OF the ills that on you pile;
Quit yer pessimistic squakin
Be an optimist an smileI
Durn II, man, keep on a-peggin',
Don't YOU ever lose yer hope:
You'll win out if you keep leggin',
Even though in doubt you grOpe.
Come, OF, scout, pretend yer happy,
Though yer heart is full O. guile;
Keep yer sperrits bright an snappy,
Be an optimist an smile!
Come you disconnected kicker,
With yer chin a-saggin' down,
Let yer disapp' intments flicker,
Smooth away that troubled frown!
Amt no use o. gittin' skeery,
Though maroOned on Trouble Isle;
Wear a grin that's cal an CHEEKY.
Be an optimist an SMILEl

SAYS WIFE HAS THIRST.
Henry Mink Charges Eva Mink With
lntemperance.

AS a general rule in alcoholic divorce
complaints the wife charges the hus-
hand with drunkenness, but in the COM
plant filed yesterday by Henry Mink
against his wife, Eva Mink, the reverse
is true.
He says that Immediately after their
marriage November s, 1905, he discov-
cred that his wife was addicted to the
use of intOxicants. Often he says she
would come home drunk and when he
demonstrated with her and tried tC
make her see the error of her ways
she would become angry and use all
manner of unbecoming language. The
end came in February, 1906, after she
had been in a drunken condition" for
two days. He again tried to make her
be good but she became very angry
and left him. Since then she has con-
tinued her conduct, he says, and has
been in the habit of frequenting wine
rooms and visiting places of iil-repute
