In Memory's Well

By George H. Irving

What are these wheels that in me turn Beneath my loss of hair?

A million cogs go round and round, No friction, toil, or care.

A chance remark a trigger pulls, A bump or sudden sight, And out of nowhere comes a force, That starts a mental flight.

The cogs, thus hidden, swirl and twirl, The brain cells dance a jig, Like atoms in the bomb of life, A pattern soon they rig.

And deep in some forgotten spot, fn matter grey and soft, The cogs have gathered other cogs, That lift a thought aloft.

But when we're old it takes more time, Our memories to stir, They do not leap, those yesterdays, With swift and sudden whir.

They slowly feel the cogs mesh near, And wake from sudden sleep, A quiver brings them back to life, And to the mind they creep.

So, when we olsters, bald or grey, A story try to tell, Just give us time to fit the cogs, That turn in memory's well.

Don't Let It Worry You

If your efforts are criticized, you must have done something worth while, and you may learn something valuable.

If your business rival plays more golf than you do, you have more time to attend to his customers than he has.

If your neighbor drives a better car than you do, that doesn't make your old car any the worse.

If someone calls you a fool, go into silence. He may be right.

If your competitor gets business by unscrupulous methods, he can't hold it that way.

If the world laughs at you, laught right back at it. It's just as funny as you are.

In Prcdse oI Pessimisn

We haven't heard any Optimist vs Pessimist jokes for a long time. We miss them. They provided morc insight into human nature than all of tbe psychologicd novels perpetrated since Freud discovered sex. In lieu thereof, it is perhaps timely to set the record straight.

Pessimisul like isolationism and conservatisa, has bccome a term of approbrium in recent Jrcars. It is rcgarded as a form of disloyalty not in keeping with thc chambcr of commerce spirit or the "glorious destiny" about which the orators pnttle. Actually, a pessimist is a rcalist. He expects the worst and is seldom disappointed. He is not given to impractical gambles or wishful thinking. Never smug or contented, he is the fellow responsible for most of our progress. He is the one who says, 'That is a heck of a way to run a railroad," and then docs sometting about iL

It is the optimists who do most of the damage in tbc world. They are largely responsible for the impossible expectations and shattered hopes that develop. They are the one who get us in over our heads'<r our pocketbooks. In selecting a person to manage our investments, act as a bridge partner or even 6x the plumbing, shield us, Oh Lor4 from those who operate on the theory that the goosc hangs high and everything is hunky dory in this best of dl possible worlds. Give us a lad with ulcers, and vinegar in his veins.

The illusion persists that optimists, being happier, live longer than pessimists. This is another fallacy. Thc op timists are dying out fast. Every day large numbers of them fail to beat the train to the crossing, fail to go slow when it says "Go Slow" or fail to take the pills their doctor prescribed. It is sheer suicide to be an optimist in a world full of such hazards as the atom bomb, communisn, inflation, deflation, insects, viruses, bacteria, dlergies, motor cars, bathtubs, cigarettes, taxes, etc.

Optimists are people who sell things to pessimists. The former have the entlusiasm, but the latter have the money. Without pessimists, there would be no need for insurancoor banking.

Iust Bull

A man who saw a sign "Iron sinks," went inside and remarked that he knew it. The brigbt cterk answered: "Yes, and time fies, but wine vaults, sulphur springs, jam rolls, Niagara Falls, moonlight walks, sheep run, holiday trips, scandal spreads, rubber tires and wire stays."

The visitor left, but returned, stuck his head in the door and remarked, "And marble busts."
