John Hay the diplomat and statesman
we owe to President Mckinley. 1t was
Mr.. Mckinley, with knowledge of his
talents, who called the student and
writer from his library and the com
forts of private life to public office.
The assignment was one of the happiest
ever made. Mr. Hays record in Lon
don stamped him as an ideal diplomat;
and he improved the larger opportunity
in the State Department so as to take
rank with the most accomplished and
successful men who had preceded him
there.
A statue in Washington of John Hay
should make its appearance at an early
day. and be worthy of the man and his
fame.

The Optimist.

Ny good old friend the optimist-
What has become of him7
His phrase takes on a serious twist
Because of tidings grim.
No more with literary wiles
He cheers us day and night,
And tells us earth is full Of smiles
And everything's all right.
My good old friend the optimist
Is studying now with care
On how a nation may enlist
Its forces to prepare.
He still appears with placid brow;
His voice is free from woe.
If things are not all right just now,
He'll try to make 'em SO.
