ON BEING PESSIMISTlC

griefs, the blighting fluid of philosophic despair.
 Such a legend. has served its purpose well in the case of other poets than Shakespeare. Lucretius is thus protect ed. So is Leopardi. So also is Alfred de Vigny, whom Brunetiere called the "pessimistic surtout" among the guides of contemporary thought. The passage in which the great French critic makes his bold defense of the pessimism of the poet of the tour d'ivoire'' is well worth the consideration of those who believe that life would cease altogether if a Cheerful optimism" were not maintained at all costs. He says
 'If we assume life is to be good in itself, then. all its inequalities being given by nature and instituted by God, there can no longer be any pity for the weak, or. consequently, in our societies. any active principle of amelioration. God has done we'll what he has done; it is not for us to set his designs at naught But, on the contrary, let us suppose that life Is bad, bad in itself, radically bad. Then it Is that we can have no pre- occupation more urgent than to- diminish the sums of ills that dishonor it, and to recompense. by our equitable distribution of justice. what, in natural inequality, is perhaps less wound;ng to our sensibilities than monserous for our intelligence"
 And if any reader objects that this con ception of pessimism Is something quite different from that mood of unrlanly dis couragement to which the wor6 is com monly applied we readily agree. only re- minding him that 1t is at the same time, equally distant from the easy self-com- placency of that refusal to face the fun damental facts of life which constitute so large a part of the optimism of the present.

REPLIES.
 Roller skating has been recommended as an antidote for intemperance. Intem- perance Is also an antidote for roller skat- ing, which is much in its favor. The fact that MT. James J. Jeffries doesn't like bargain sales doesn't make him any more famous. It merely shows that he is human like other men. People Joking for the waste line might try Broadway. A lot of money is wasted there.

A non advertiser sometimes becomes
a successful advertiser, but a success
full advertiser never becomes a non-ad-
vertiser. Ever think of that, Mr.. Mer-
chant? Your business can be developed
by advertising. If there isn't enough
profit on your goods to make it an OBJ
ject to sell more of them, sell out and
start in a new line. The world is fl II

the man comes along who can run them.

the chances are that you could not
