1t is to be granted that the world
is better off for a goodly number of
folk who can't see the bright side of
things for thinking of their wrongs.
Their righteous passions smolder for
about so long or a little longer, after
which there is an explosion and the
earth gains cog or two on time.
But it's bad business for any COM
munity, State, nation or race, to be-
come so unanimously absorbed in its
woes that nobody is happy. In the
long run, the contented man is of
more value to society than the dis
contented one. Despite the handi-
caps which nature and his fellows
fix upon him, he radiates happiness
and happiness is what we're after.
So the world is indebted to the man
who whistles over his work. We may
become impatient with him because
of his cheerful noise, but we love him
lust the same and in the end call
him blessed. We may curse him for
Va blind. good-natured fool, and we
kustify ourselves in the eyes of our
neighDOrS. we may iooh uoWh upoh
him for an OK. and despise him for
spineless being, but if he is happy
lie has the edge on us, having gained
taat for which we vainly strive.
1he whistling man may get the
worst of it upon any number of
counts, but he has drawn the grand
prize. for all that. He puts the JOY
of a healthy, capable body and the
Inspiration of an undisturbed mind
into the thing that he does. and is,
therefore, whether he work in mud
or in pigments. your true artist. The
peace that passeth understanding is
in his shrill racket and the joy of
creation in the grip Of his fingers.

instantly his mind turned to me. He
knew that / had made a special study
of economic questions and of some of
the natural resources of the Northern
and Western states and territories.
He remembered that / had told him
that the natural resources of the
North were sufficient TO support an
army of a million men for ten years
and without greatly straining the
credit of the nation and these re-
sources.
MIR. Putnam, therefore, suggested
to me that I write a pamphlet set
ting forth in detail what the natural
and many Of the undeveloped re-
sources of the North were, so that
in this way l could show that the
government of the United States
could rely with confidence upon its
unexampled resources for the main
tenance of an army of at least mill
lion men year.

ton. The work did not require a
great deal of labor. had most of
the material ready at hand.
Il have been told that when Dis
raeli, who. with the exception of
John Bryce. was the only prominent
statesman who predicted ultimate
victory for the North. read this
pamphlet, he said that it was for
the reason set forth in the pamphlet
that he was confident that the Union
armies would ultimately be triumph
