Letters From Home Made Father to Son
The lows of Pessimism,

Dear son: If you spent less time
worrying about what your goin to
do when you get out of college an
more time doin somethin while
you're there you might be able to
get a pretty good job when you
graduate in spite of your education.
The main thing is don't worry.
Whatsisname once said that when
you found yourself worryin there
was only two things to do. One
was to change matters if you could.
an the other was to forget it if you
couldn't.
Things has habit Of unravelin
themselves as you come up to EN-?
| remember onct when / was in
N. Y. seen a fire engine goin
doEn the street lickety split. The
traffic looked the way it is in Mil
ford when the steam piano has gone
by an the crowds has come togetlier
behind it. Then. just as l closed
my eyes to shut out the shrieks
OF the wounded an dyin, the way
opened up somehow an let EN-
through the way butter acts with a
hot knife.
That" says I to a man beside
me, SIS like life. YOU 60 rushin
along lickety split, KNOWN you
couldn't stop ii you tried. An
there's nothin ahead but traffic
jammed wheel to wheel An when
you get right close up on,it there's
a way opens an lets you through"
"Righto old pickle" says he, an
disappears into the crowd with my
watch. hs
1t seems to me most fellows goes
through life all hunched up an ready
to Jump when the crash comes SO
that they never See the country
their passin through. Now you
take old Farnum Hogg what had |
everythin in the world a man could |
want. Yet he used to 60, round
lookin' as though someone had left
him a forchune on their death bed
an then recovered.
Farnum injoyed good health, a
fine family an flurishin bisnis. r.
say injoyed. l mean he had all |
these things, fer he meyer injoyed
nothin. The more things came his
way the more he worried fer fear I
they'd quit comm. He got so he
couldn't find enough to worry about
in spite of readip three local papers
a day.
They used to have a sayin that
Farnum I'D believe anything you'd
tell him pervidsd it was gloomy
enough. He'd spend hours lookin
through the papers fer news about
the reds. Then he'd cut out t,pieces
an send EN- to his friends recomen-
din that they all meettin the ma
tional gard armory in Milford as

bright. II was a pleasure to see his
smiling face in the street. An when
they drove off to the poor house
they say it was a most exhileratin an
| pleasin sight. Folks thought he was
awful brave but I knowed better. 1t
was the fust time in his life he'd
ever been able to say, II told you
so" and the more troubel he had the
happier it made him. Up til then
everybodyd laughed at his worryin.
Now he was showing em up.
One Of the greatest blessins Of
modern times is that man knows
every day all the nasty things that's
label to happen to him. There's hun
dreds of men devotin their lives to
seein that he aint taken unawares.
When you think how Our ansisters
didn't know nothin about bullshevism
or flu or bisnis panics an thought the
yellow peril was jawndice. it makes
you wonder what a man could find
to do in those days to keep him
from enjoyin life like mere ami
NAL.
The mornin papers is rapidly de-
velopin into list of things to worry
about every day. Its strong man
that can face the world with a smile
after he's propped his newspaper
against the geranyum in the center
of the breakfast table an favored his
coffe with the headlines.
"Bisnis will be crippled in three
months" says the head of a big New
York bank
"rhe Bullshevist Movement: BY
our Special Gloom Correspondent"
"Japanknees Schoolboys Make
Faces at America1 Flag. The Nippu
Jutubee Resents Our Attitude"
expert Declares Worlds Coal
Supply Will Be Exhausted in Less
Than a Milyun Years"
Prices of Shoes Lower Than It
Ever Will Be Again. Says Big Shoe
Manufacturer"
The readin public has been
trained to gloom fer so. long they've
got so they like it. The demand is
so great the news can't keep up to it.
So they start magazine page an
hire staff Of high priced mourners
to keep it filled.
Rosa McRose has a whole corner
devoted to the inspirin question,
"Is There Such Thing as Happy
Marriage?" an to prove her state
ments to the contrary she prints a
picture of herself every day.

"All hunched up an ready to jump
when the smash comes"
soon the the troubel started. He'd
get so worked up over it at times
that he'd drop on his face when
ever anybody slammed door.
Then he took to worryin about
the stock market. He never had
mo money invested but he always
claimed that he might have had just
as well as not, an then he'd have
been in nice fix. He stewed abou.
that till the market started to 60 up,
an then he worried about all the
money he might have made if he'd
had the sense to invest something
when things was low.
He'd always been a good sleeper
till one day he read in the paper
how insomnya was the cuss of the
human race. He looked up the
word in the dickshinnery. After
that he used to lie awake nights
worryin fer fear he might get it an
not be able to go to sleep. He
fretted about it so that he like to
have had nervus breakdown.

that nothin ever could go wrong
