Dawn.

The most difficult, exasperating ana
rantankerous pessimist with which the
smiling, festive and irrepreSsible optomist
has to deal is the fellow who takes some
stock in the old saying that it is always
darkest just before dawn. There is. of
course. no argument over the fact that
dawn is a joyous occasion, even if 1t Is
more pleasant to stay up for it. under
proper conditions. than to get up for IT,
but, says the pessimist, admitting the
it is darkest, until he actually sees the
dawn. He is likely to say, furthermore
that if it's going to bring dawn any
sooner, let it get dark as-almost any
thing and the sooner and darker, the bet
ter.
One positively cannot argue against
such logic, for as aforesaid dawn is IL
Joyous occasion except to the man who
is asleep and he doesn't count. AS for the
man who is intoxicated, it is also ques-
ton whether many of the beauties of
dawn are not lost. because he is already
SO busy with his own responsibilities that
he cannot take on any new joy.
Then there is the man who would stay
up all night in a brilliantly lighted room,
practcing auto-sugSestiOn by repeating
the word good" Under the glare OF ar
tificality such a man would be prone TO
claim that there was no darkness OUTSIDE.
but that it was all inside. But. II AFTER
setting up. he went out at the 11rst laint
blush of dawn. it would look TO nm
like about 80 cents worth of aduiterated
talIow candles. and it might require sew
eral subsequent sittings to dispel the nal
lucina ton.
All these. of cours. are exceptions
which cannot be considered. Normally,
darkness and dawn have to be taken
lust as they come and they continue to
come with regularity. pessimists and OPP
timists to the contrary notwithstanding

 Other reports from the Hartman home, coming from semi-official sources, declare Hartman has decided to give up a great many of his rail- road details to ex-Judge Lovette and his two assistants. Hartman does not intend to give up control of his rail- roads, but will get all the minor de- tails off his hands.
