The Pessimist.

 How can fellow wear a frown. When Nature wears a smile? How can fellows mouth be down, When sunny skies beguile? The pessimist is dour and glum. He hates his happy brothers; For life is just as sour to some, As it is sweet to others. The pessimist cant see the sun, He sees the cloud that mars; He sees the dark when day is done. He cannot see the stars. The rose has thorns, the birds are
 dumb. , The joy in things he smothers: For life is just as sour to some. As it is sweet to others.

 metropolitan cities of the United States, will it be rated among the large towns that have shown little increase in
 population in the last ten years?

 mitteemen said Portland, San Francisco and Los Angeles fully aroused to the danger
 of not obtaining full count in the United
