The Value of an Optimistic
Spirit.

In a certain city a business
man of good character and stand
ing applied to a leading banker
for a loan of q few thousand dol
lars to enable him to extend his
business. The loan was refused.
Yet the next day the banker
loaned the same amount to two
young men to enable them to buy
out this man.
Many people thought the bank
er's course in this matter very
strange.
The young men had very little
experience, while the other man
had been in business a number OF
years. The young men were in
good standing, but they had not
had time to build up such a rep
utation for integrity, promptness
and reliability as the other man
possessed. From a business
standpoint as we'll as from a mo-
raj standpoint his record was
fawless. Why, then, did the
banker reject his application?
Here is the reason in his own
language: Il hated to turn the
Major down. He is a man of
fine character and a good friend
of mine. But unfortunately, he
is a thoroughly discouraged man.
The very warp and wool of his
being has become pessimistic
He takes a gloomy view of every
thing. In business, in politics,
in social life and in morals he
thinks the world is going to the
bad. This might not count fol
very much with a man of large
secretiveness; but the Major is
one of those superlatively can
did, transparent souls who think
with their mouths. Hence he
can not help airing his pessimis'
tic views and feelings on all oc'
c~asions. Such a man is fore
doomed to failure in a enterprise
such as he proposed to engage
in. 1t would not have been
kindness to him to make the
loan. l might have gotten my
money, but he would have beer
wrecked. These young mer
have a totally different outlook
upon life. To them the world is
a glorious place, and the future
is as ght as the brightest col
ors Oh the rainbow. They will
succeed"
That old banker has a gooc
supply of wisdom in his Uranium.

A New Cause OF Insanity.

The Congressional Record has
been blamed for many things. 1t
has been the subject of endless
jokes and is common object OF
ridicule, and is the sole comfort
of congressman who lack ability
to attract attention without its
printed pages.
A final and more serious charge
has been filed against the Record.
1t is said to be the cause of in
sanity. In fact, it has been
shown in a probate case brought
in the state of Ohio that a GER
tain citizen lost his mind through
excessive reading Of the Con-
gressional Record. This is, in
deed, a grievous charge. 1t
seems almost incredible that any
human being should be so OBJ
sessed with the desire to read
the Congressional Record that he
should read it to excess. The
fact is that a man might we'll be
charged with insanity who shows
a disposition to read it at all.
Well edited, in the hands of a
wide awake newspaper man, IA
miliar with the tricks of the
trade, who has the faculty for
condensing the news of the day
and who cuts out the long-wind-
ed speeches of congressman who
never deliver them on the floor,
speeches that are never heard by
their fellow congressman, which
are never made at all, in fact,
and emanate from the brain OF
some congressional press agent
for advertising purposes and
printed in the Record for the
same reason; in such hands the
Congressional Record might
prove an interesting journal.
To-day it is the most tiresome and
uninteresting publication to be
found on the market.
No one can conceive of a more
novel cause of insanity. That a
court of justice should declare
the Congressional Record an in
famatory journal seems ridicu-
lous.
The Ohio case is a matter of
record, and Carl Hassenmeyer,
of Sandusky, O., has been ad-
Judged insane, excessive read
ing of the Congressional Record
being assigned as the cause of
his insanity.
Men and women have been
known to go crazy through ex-
cessive indulgence in things
quite innocent and even in them
selves highly commendable. Pol
itics, love and religion turn mems
heads when the machinery there
in is not as we'll balanced as it
should be, but it has remained
for the Ohio unfortunate to es-
tablish a new precedent by going
crazy through excessive reading
of the Congressional Record.
The truth is, we have been I'M
der the impression that veryfew
people ever read the Record at
all, and then only certain debates
or certain important speeches
made on topics of great current
interest.
After all, the Record is only a
mausoleum of dead and forgot
ten speeches, and if the Ohio
gentleman undertook to read
them all, there is no wonder that
he went crazy. Commercial APP
