Thrown From His Bicycle and sua-

LEGATION Made.
rom TUESDAYS Daily.

From tuesdays Daily
While William Ulman was riding
his bicycle near the Saulpaugh cor
ner yesterday noon, he was run
down by an automobile. He was
thrown from his wheel and sustain
ed some bruises and his bicycle was
broken. The automobile did not
stop, but as Mr.. Ulman looked after
it he noticed the number, but may
not have gotten it exact, although
he thought that he did.
Mr.. Ulman reported the matter to
the police, and Chief Donahue made
an investigation. The number that
Mr. Ulman secured was looked up
in the state automobile register,
which the police department has
just procured, and it was found to
belong to a car owned by Schwen-
der Bros. Inquiry there showed that
the car with this number had been
sold to r. F. Neubert.
Mr. Neubert was next seen, but
he stated that there must be some
mistake, as his car was not taken
OuL vi Hlo sal ColCluoy oI any
time He thought that Mr.. Ulman
must have gotten the number wrong.
If he made a mistake in the number,
Mr. Ulman thinks that the right
number must have ben 2009. The car
that corresponds to this number is
owned by Mr.. McLauren on Holly
avenue, st. Paul. An effort will be
made to ascertain whether this car
was in Mankato yesterday. 1t does
not seem probable that any local
autoist would have run down any
body. and then have speeded away.
Mr.. Ulman, who is a farmer living
near the city, did not care so much
about the damage done as he did
about the fact that the autoist not
stopping to inquire whether he was
hurt.

an Optimist and have the true faith
of an optimist- in believing that the
American people are meeting pres
ent day problems with the same
courage and patriotism they have al
ways shown. believe we are go
ing to work these things out along
lines that mean for the good of all
the people. | don't believe that an
optimist should be blind and see
good where evil exists. The true
optimist should see the evil wher-
ever it exists and make it his bust
ness to destroy the evil things and
put in it's place only those things
that are good.
"The pessimist is the man who
is the, man who says it will be
done. The pessimist is the man who
stands still while the optimist is the
man who keeps moving onward. All
the progress and advancement in
this world has been carried on by
the optimists. The Christian relig-
ion would never have spread to the
four corners of the earth if it hadn't
been for optimism. Columbus would
never have crossed the Atlantic
ocean if he hadn't been an Optimist
and this great empire here in the
middle west would never have been
settled up and become the rich
country it is today if it hadn't been
for the optimism of the early set
tiers. The optimist is the man who
makes history, the optimist is the
man who does things and we honor
the man who does things, and in
honoring our useful citizens We have
a faculty of distinguishing between
the genuine and the counterfeit. A
little over year ago there died in
the east a great man, a king of
finance, master of thousands of miles
of railroad, and when the summons
came he was forced to leave all his
wealth behind and stand before the
Final Judge poor man. At about
the same time we lost here in the
state of Minnesota a beloved SER
vant-our governor, John A. John
son, man poor in worldly goods,
but rich in the love and admiration
of his fellowmen. On the final
count, which of the two do you
think was the richest man."
The remainder of the address was
an eulogy of Abraham Lincoln, and
a description of the different ele-
ments that go into the making of an
American citizen, showing that it
makes no difference where we come
from, whether we are native or
foreign born, the American spirit
makes us one united people with
one common purpose.
