SMILE.

You can generally tell a pessim-
ist as soon as see him. His coun-
tenance is shrouded in gloom so
thick the sun never shines through.
If he has slight toothache he is
as solicitous of his jaw as cat is
OF her first litter Of kittens. If it is
a touch of lumbago he walks with
camel's humb. If his head throbs
little he holds it tenderly in both
hands.
If there is nothing the matter
with him he tells everybody who
will listen what terrible condition
he is in. If nobody will listen he
tells it to himself.
And he blames his fancied ills
upon the shortcomings of Others
around him. Pessimists are alike
the world over. That's the reason
you can always tell one when you
see him.
Now smile! 1t will please others
even if it hurts you.

The man who puts party above
town is not the best kind of a citi-

the town in which we live. Our
greatest energy should be directed
toward the development of our

When these duties have been

eign in their nature. Be LOYAL
CITIZEN first. After that, be any
thing you like.
