Three students OF philosophy sat on
top Of a high hill. One was a pessi-
mist, one an optimist and the third
had not declared himself.
While the first were warmly dis
GUESSING their opposing theories of
life. a sudden gust of wind simultane-
ously lifted OF three hats and sent
them bowling down the hill. The
pessimist and the optimist gave
chase. but their companion remained
calmly sitting on top of the hill and
watched the others running after the
hats. Presently each procured his
own hat and the optimist picked up
also that of the third man. Then they
painted back up the hill.
-Whew," gasped the optimist, as
he handed over the hat TO him who
still sat on top of the hill. II guess
you're an optimist. too. You didn't
