THE oPTIMIsT.

An optimist is a man who would
celebrate the anniversary of the day
on which his leg was broken, because
the automobile didn't spoil his
clothes when 1t ran over him.
The optimist sees only the bright
side of things. Every dark cloud
to him has a silver lining and Is per
petually inside out. There Is no such
thing as misfortune to the optimist.
He has torn the misfortune page out
OF his lexicon, and has used 1t for a
cigar lighter. If he is poor, he Is
glad because he will enjoy 81 much
more being rich week after next.
II he is sick, it is a most suspicious
occasion because he is indoors with
liver complaint, instead of outdoors
catching pneumonia. If he has lost
his job, it will enable him to enjoy
. nice vacation. If he Is starving,
he remembers how uncomfortable fat
people are, and smiles. If the home
team is seven runs behind in the
eighth inning, does he leave the park
IN disgust? No, indeed. Something
Is bound to turn up in the ninth, so
he bets another dollar and stays on.
. In fact, betting, gold mining, and
stock selling would hardly be paying
games If 1t were not for the optimist.
He will bet on a three-legged horse,
because for all he knows it may grow
another leg on the back stretch. He
will buy $1,000 worth of stock in a
hole in the ground with traces of
brass filings in 1t and will pay as
eessments for forty years, greasing
up his wheelbarrow every month in
order to be ready when the dividend
The Pleasantville press. (Pleasantville, N.J.) 1912-1929, 1919-07-12

is declared. He will buy a block OF
stock in a perpetual motion company
and will hold onto 1t even after some
other sucker has offered to cart It
away for him free OF charge.
Thus optimism Is profitable, but
not always to the optimist. However,
