An Optimistic Greed.

A writer in the Manufacturer
Record offers this piece Of optim.
ism:
would rather be an optimist
seeking the star that pierces the
night Of gloom, or looking for the
silver lining to the sable cloud, than
be a pessimist, searching for fuel to
heap upon the smoldering fires Of
despair. would rather snatch the
sunbeam and weave it into song
and laughter, than take the shadow
and transform it into the mutterings
Of discomfort.
/ would rather take the prattle Of
innocent childhood and make it the
guiding star of my pilgrimage, than
take the wall of the disconsolate,
and make it the siren toward which
my barque should forever sail.
| would rather take the dimple
from the rosy cheek of babyhood
and endeavor to transplant it In
perennial setting upon my own
brow, than take the wrinkle from
the face Of the hopeless and make
it part Of my own visage.
| would rather take the notes Of
natures song birds and make them
consonant with the melodies of my
own soul than take the croakings Of
the toad and arrange them into jar
ring dScords that should forever
greet my ear.
| would rather take the rose
painted by the hand Of the eternal
Artist in tints Of celestial beauty,
and pin it on my breast, than take
the scared leaf, blighted by the
breath Of the Frost King, and use it
as a bower to portray my somber
feeling.
| would rather chase the rainbow
that spans the brow Of evening, in
quest Of the tabled bag of gold,
than seek assurance from sorrow by
pluneing into the murky waves
from London bridge.
| would rather watch the eagle.
in his spiral course to the vaulted
blue, than watch the Shiny snake
as he makes his crooked trail
through the slush and mud.
/ would rather be a Christian
with faith in an omnipotent God,
and with the star of hope ever
drawing me to a better world, than
be a pagan with no beacon light to
beckon me beyond the confines of
my earthly existence

cant paragraphs from his letter:


Our conversation yesterday
made me realize that in my letter
OF the Oath | had not set forth as |
should have set them forth, as ]
should have set them forth my rea-
sons for changing my mind on the
question Of creating tariff board,
for | must frankly admit that !
have changed my mind since last
spoke on that subject.
I have changed my mind be-
cause all the circumstances Of the
world have changed, and it seems
to me that in view Of the extraor-
binary and far-reaching changes
which the European war has
brought about, it is absolutely nee
essary that we should have a COM
petent instrument Of inquiry along
the whole line Of the many ques-
tons which affect our foreign COM
merce.
I have had, in this change OF
mind, no thought whatever OF o
change Of mind, no thought what
ever of a change of attitude toward
the so-called protection question.
That is neither here nor there. A
commission such as ! have suggest
ed would have nothing to do with
theories Of policy. They would deal
only with facts, andthe facts which
they would seek ought to be the &C.
tual facts Of industry and Of the con-
ditions Of economic changes pre-
vailine in the world.
Il dare say you feel, as do, that
it would be folly at this time, or
until all the altered conditions are
clearly understood to attempt to
deal with questions Of foreign COM
merce by legislation, and yet, hav-
ing dealt directly and clearly with
the whole question Of unfair compe-
tition within our own borders, it is
clear that as soon as we know the
facts VS. ought to deal with unfair
methods Of competition as between
our own nation and others, and this
is only one Of the many things that
we would probably wish to deal
with"
That is his view. And if the pro-
eressives can get any campaign
thunder from it they are certainly
welcome to try.

THREE LIGHTS FROM
 ONE MATCH BAD LUCK
Superstition in the British Army. Comes From Russian Church
 Ritual

London, November 1o.-Lighting three cigarettes with one match is mighty bad luck and really one of the most dan gerous things you can do. A lot of people have known it all along but the belief has never been so widespread as it is now This is due to the firm hold the superstition has on the army and now one doesn't even have to be fearful that others may take the chance and violate the rule, so common has the belief be- come.
 It is said that the superstition comes from the fact that in the Russian church the priests light three candles with one flame. and it is bad luck to emulate the priests holy ritual
 This may be true, but there is another more cynical explanation.
 we had the three-lights- from one match thing in the Boer war" a British army officer says, land ever since the army has been careful in this matter But the explanation we had down there had nothing to do with the Russian church It was commonly said that the idea of its being bad luck was really started by big British firm of match manufacturers who were, of course. in- terested in increasing the sale of matches"
