WORLD HAS PLACE
N FOR THE PESSIA1IST
After An, There Are Disad-
Uantages in Optimism. (

A prominent man recently made the
statement that it never is possible to
have too much optimism.
Undoubtedly optimism Is splendid
: specific for many, Of the ills of life
1t Is good for such dread maladies as
the blues, the willies, the jumps, the
doldrums, the dumps, mental halitosis
(groucho homo) and nerves; 1t also IL
helpful in case Of an attack Of sour
face.
The big things in life have been done
by optimists, and it would be inter
esting to secure pessimist's views on
the alarming developments which may
be looked for in the radio, the airship
and electricity during the next five
years.
; Still, there is such q thing as toe
much optimism. It is good once In
while to be regular pigheaded
rangtanker0us, unreasonable, narrow
eyed pessimist.
For example, In financial matters
So many persons are perennially Opt
mistic on the subject Of getting rich
quickly and painlessly that billion
dollars year. SO statisticians tell us
goes into the hands of stock swindlers
and sleight-of-hand financiers like
Ponzi and Koretz.
We once knew confirmed optimist
who was persuaded to invest all his
possessions In certain suburban real
estate. His holdings undoubtedly had
great future, although future
which. perhaps, was inclined to be
somewhat too eventual and remote. Al
any rate, 1t seemed to be felt general
" that If he only had been more pa
tient and could have held on he would
have become rich man with every
thing the heart could wish by the time
he had reached the age Of two hundred
and thirty-eight.
There Is popular tendency also
toward over-optimism In the matter Of
crossing crowded thoroughfares. There
are no doubt many statisticians In this
country who could tell exactly how
many street-crossing optimists are
knocked down and fattened out pei
annum while running in front of au.
tomobiles, and not miss 1t by more than
rs or 80 optimists either way.
Experience seems to make quite
plain the fact that sometimes little
well-chosen pessimism and some good
intelligent, old-fashioned worrying viii
bring more happiness in the long rur
than any amount of 100 per cent Opt
mism, Notwithstanding Its widely ad
vertised MISUNDERSTANDING Daniel II

Edible Birds' Nests

These nests are made by various
species Of swifts inhabiting the islands
Of the Indian ocean, India. the Philip
pines and few tropical islands in the
Pacific. The nests are composed al.
most entirely Of mucous secreted by
the salivary glands Of the birds. These
are the nests which are SO eagerly
sought by Chinese epicures as an in
gredient of soup. The nests are built
on the sides Of cliffs or in caves. Their
value depends on their color and pur.
ity. for frequently they are mixed with
feathers or other foreign substances
When dry the mucous Of which the
nests are made resembles isinglass.--

Badly Dressed Statesmen,

Cecil Rhodes would not have accept
ed the dictum Of the Tailor and Cut
ter that It Is obligatory on statesmen
to dress well. Even on ceremonial oc-
casions Rhodes would wear old and d.
lapidated fiannels and a seedy SLOUGH
hat.
Sir Gordon Sprigg, when premier of
Cape Colony, made an effort to en-
force the wearing Of respectable"
dark clothes in the Cape parliament.
Sir Gordon was the height Of respecta-
bility himself, and always wore q
black frocR-coat In parliament.
Rhodes refused to follow the pre-
mier's lead and made a speech against
the proposed sumptuary regulation. IF
I cannot help to legislate in comfort
able Clothes" said he, IT refuse to
help at all, and / think most honorable
members will agree with me-" They

BY MARSHALL
IN SUIT
Snyder Fights Paying Cost in
Bond Forfeiture BY c. D.
Hood

An appeal was noted today by
Edgar C. Snyder, u. S. Marshal FOR
the District, from a recent decision
Of Justice Bailey of the District
Supreme Court, granting Charles
d. Hood, a professional bondsman,
en- injunction preventing the sale
by tho marshal Of premises at 1910
Fifteenth street northwest to satisfy
a forfeited recognizance of $4,000.
The court assessed the costs
against the marshal to which pros
cedure Assistant District Attorney
Burnett took exception, on the
ground that the marshal was acting
in his official capacity and should
not be required to bear the costs.
Hood, represented by Attorneys
James B. Archer, Eta L. Taggarr
end e. T. Sanford, told the court
that the marshal was aboIlz to cell
the property in question valued AZ
$4,000 for cash to satisfy a fo--
feiture. They declared that the
terms of sale are disadvantageous
to Hood.
They also attacked the procedure,
Declaring that the legal method pre-
scribed in the code had not been fol-
lowed.
The bond in question was given
by Hood at the request OF Narcotic
Inspector Rakusin, for Edward
Hooks, charged with violating The
narcotic act, in order that Hooks
might be used as "decoy' to eaten
violators.
Hood says he was not aware that
an indictment had been returned
against Hooks, and that he was not
requested to have him in court.
