One ts as difficult as the other, And ability along one line is as hard to acquire as the other. Both mast be cultivated. Tt is impossible to become an optomist without learning how to forget. Disagreeable things are bound to happen and must train oneself to wipe them off the mind as the boy wipes the figures from his slate. Having crased the ugly memories, it is casier to write the pleasant things on tho slate of the memory. ‘The Iodian, for instance, never forgets a slight or an injury ‘will wait a lifetime to get evea. Don't be an Indian. Life i to short to be an Indtan. ‘The man who considers himself a nemesis, who treasures up a wrong, who nurses an injury, who lets ignoble hatreds fester in his heart, cannot be a happy man. His soul is ike a crouched tiger ready to spring upon the victim of his wrath. Learn how to forget. Tt is easier for you to put on record in your memory personal grievances and to hug an ugly feeling it is because you have chosen to do so. If you hoard up in your mind the unhappy episodes of life it is because you have formed the habit of doing so. ‘To persist in that habit of mind will make you miserable and a cofirmed grouch. There is nothing noble in such a disposition to retmem ber. Learn to forget. Let go the uninspiring, the depresing and weakening grievance. Hold on to the memories that cheer and brighten. There is not room for both. Wipe out the resentments. Write in the place of your hatreds the things that are pure And just and lovely and of good re port Has some one treated you lily or put a slight upon you? Forget it. Do not let it spell your happiness, It is a trifle light as air. “Seorn to be scorned by one whom I scorn. Is that a matter to Make me fret? Is that a matter to cause regret?” Let no mean thing ruffle the serenity of your son!. Forget it. ie Chauncey Depew, Optimist ‘When a few weeks ago Senator Chauncey Depew emerged from @ méeting of New York republicans which determined, after a long struggle, that he was to go backto the senate of the United States, he gleefully remarked: “The optimist wins. The optimist wins.” . Mr. Depew has always been the prince of optimista. And, in the course of human events, we are beginning to find oot why Chauncey has always been prone to look largely upon the bright side of things. For instance. bs Out of the tangled maze of publicity that comes from a partial investigation of the affairs of the Equitable Life Assurance society of New York, comes the statement that for many years Mr. Depew thas been paid $25,000 a yoar—th iefly for his optimism. At least Mr. Depew has given no other reason why be should b: been paid so large a salary as a director. ‘The New York Sun puts it this way: “We have the utmost reluctance to appear to tntrude, how- ever remotely, upon the honorable privacy of our most admired Statesman, but would Mr. Depew have the condescension to impart to us in the strictest confidence why it is that so large a sum is paid to him yearly out of the money which belongs to the policy- holders?” This editorial was printed some time ago, and Mr. Depew has Rot had “the condescension to impart” further information. In fact, Mr. Depew appears to be only one of a cherry company @f optimists who have been paid a large sum each year out of “the Money which belongs to policy holders.” Whereat Tom Lawson, the pessimist, claims the advantage over Chauncey Depew, the optimist It is computed .uat the money paid by the Equitable policy hold- ers to the gentle Chauncey will, with interest, reach the aggregate of ® million dollars. And the question naturally oceurs: Suppose Mr. Depew must pay back this million, will he do it genialiy, as an optimist should? Mr. James Hazen Hyde has been moved to pay $135,000 into the company’s treasury—-money which, im part, represents his share of the famous Sherry dinner given by Mr. Hyde and Mr. Depew. And Mr. Hyde is no optimist. It may apear to the 600,000 policy holders of the Equitable scat- tered over the country that optimism at $25,000 a year comes a little high.
