TWO Kinds of Trouble.

To the OptlInlst Edltof:
Sir-There are two kinds OF trouble,
one real and the other only ideal. |
once knew q man who. on losing his
job in a factory, kept talking about
keeping the wolf from the door till he
committed suicide, although he owed
no one anything and had a large sum
of money in bank. Now. this was only
ideal, or imaginary, trouble Had he
been an optimist associating with
cheerful people, he would never have
done this. There is a large amount of
this kind of trouble in the world, for
which optimism is the only true
remedy. WILLIAM DEWARTs
