The Washington Herald Opti-
mist Club Announcement
for the Coming Week.
BY THE OPTIMIST.

Bear Ye One Another's
Burdens
The Washington Herald
Optimists, who wear the clubs
button with Lets Help
proudly displayed, know what
it is to bear burdens.
They also know how to
bear them so that they rest
but lightly.
Willing shoulders tighten
burdens.
Are your shoulders willing?
Have YOU always viewed the
daily task with a conscious
ness that ii is a privilege to be
able to add your little mite to
the great labor of the world?
Optimists see the best in
everything. There is no bur
den so heavy but that they
know some way to make it
lighter, They are cheerful in
adversely and happy in being
able to do something for a
neighbor.
Unless YOU are an optimist
YOU cannot see clearly the
uses and benefits of adversely.
Rurden-bearing is the lot Of
every one. Perhaps YOU think
your burdens are too heavy,
or that they are beginning to
gall your back as you stagger
along life's pathway under
their weight.
Be an optimist, and YOU will
learn how TO tighten your
tasks, and YOU will be given
strength to help some one
else. too. The greatest serv-
ice IS in doing for others. and
until YOU know how to help
yourself YOU cannot expect to
help others.
The Washington Herald
Optimist Club is made up Of
workers and burden-bearers.

be OF their ranks.

helpful subject. Perhaps yours
will be among them.

ing burdens" there will be

for the second best, $500 for
the next best, and five prizes
OF SIoo each for those

tablished institution and YOU
cannot afford to be on the out
side. Membership is always
open. and every member is
striving to get his friends to
Join and receive the benefits

OF INTEREST TO WOMEN.
FROM WOMANS
POINT OF VIEW

We are told so persistently that success
comes from singleness of purpose and do
ing the work close at hand, while regard
Ing it as a stepping-stone, that we have
come to believe It. We affect TO see in
failures a jelly-like resistance against the
obstacles which are put in the pathway
of every shuggler, and I am not sure that
the affectstion is not a true attitude in
the main. There is surely something COM
ing 10 those who do their best, to those
who expect much even II they achieve
little, and II It be something below the
first prize it is a deal better than nothing
at all.
have met men and women with cherry
natures who expected everybody 10 Ike
them. and whose expectations were real
lied, have met human beings who reso-
lutely shut their eyes 10 anything but
the promise of bright future. and won
share Of It by persistence I find hundreds
who are content to do the best with what
falls to their lot and with the sure reward
such an attitude secures. It is not great
wealth, but it is ordinary, everyday salts
faction. and that Is mighty close to real
happiness.
There must be somebody to do the
humble tasks. to look after the humdrum
details OF everyday living. We must be
sheltered from the weather. we have 10
eat, and the body must be clothed, and
somebody must attend TO the building.
the cooking, and the serving. A career IS
a fine thing. but it is impossible without
the assistance of the humble worker. 1t
IS noble to seek out the distressed and
alleviate suffering. but It is scarcely fair
TO the family at home TO take away COM
fort and happiness and replace it with
neglect.
There would be but little misery were
there a general effort TO stick to duty II
men worked faithfully and used their
money in the support of those who right
fuily belong to them, there would remain
only the poverty which comes through
illness and death II there was a de
termined effort to be kind and loyal and
Industrious, there would be contentment
and a greater degree Of prosperity The
shirkers are the ferments which work
harm 10 the community, breeding discon-
tent, envy, and malice.
The busy man has no time 10 think upon
unpleasant matters. The busy woman
has neither time for gossip nor thought
for scandal Both are intent upon the
work in hand, and can be relied upon to
give some degree Of satisfaction. never
feel impatient with the saleswoman who
keeps me waiting while she neatly folds
away the articles she has shown me in
stead of carelessly pushing them aside. I
realize that she has her employers in
terest at heart, and such sentiments de-
serve encouragement - faithful workers
are all too few.
