THE RHYMING
OPTIMIST
BY Aline Michaelis-
The-SensitiDe Plant.

A FRIEND once said to Reg.
n gle Runt: More pen il
what you need; you prove,
each time you start a stunt, your
brain has gone to seed. Your FORE
sight isn't on the job, your nerve
is lacking, too: that's why you're
known for playing hob in things
you try to do" The friend meant
well, but got a shock when Reggie
made reply: II can't see why you
want to knock at everything I try.
No matter what undertake, it's
always just. the same; some one
Will dwell on each mistake and
try to queer the game. 1t might
not hurt coarser man nor give
him any pain; I'm built upon a
higher plan and of a finer grain.
I'm like a tender, little flower,
all sensitive and fraiI, and when
folks criticise and glover, their
harshness makes me fail" In
part, facts bore his statements
out, as all who ran could read;
there never was q bit of doubt
about his lack Of speed. But
always so our hero claimed, the
fault was not his own; there was
some other to be blamed when
any hope had flown. He claimed
it cut him to the quick when
friendly folks would come and
say: THAT scheme you thought
SO slick is wholly on the bum"
Experience may cost men dear and
still be worth the price il they're
the sort who year ny year will
profit by advice.
