PEDDLERS OF GLOOM.
Peddlers of gloom are a detri
ment to any community.
Gloom is one of the poorest of
all (he lighter human assets.
Melancholia is a disease of the
mind which finds many ways of
expressing itself in the ordinary
affairs of life. Jt is not necessary
for a person to be afflicted with
maniacal melancholia, or melan
cholic mania, in order to become
a nuisance and a general detri
ment to the community.
Just plain, ordinary, but con
stant complaining will do the
•work.
Men and women who constant
ly complain, who knock and nag,
who see nothing but dark fore
bodings in the events of the day,
who smell disaster and ruin in
every trifling reverse which
comes to them, or their fellows,
are detrimental nuisances; and
yet every community lias its fair
quota of these peddlers of gloom.
They never see the rift in the
clouds; they never see the smil
ing fields of plenty; they never
catch the cheerful contagion
which makes their fellows happy
and fills their lives with the light
and. laughter of buoyant hopes
and beautiful dreams sure to
come true, for always they are
depressed by fears that are fan
ciful and vain. There is not much
of sweetness in life for these
weavers of shadows, for they
browse in thislled pastures and
feed on unwelcome tilings.
They become chronic grant
ees, ami lose completely that
poise df mind which would give
them a saner outlook upon the
play uf forces which enmesh
them.
Often (lie good or had we see
in the world is in ourselves.
Our biggest problem, as a rule,
is in the mirror.
If we frown, mu' problem
frowns.
If we smile, our • problem
smiles, and our difficulties seem
to melt away.
Peddlers of gloom speak ot
hard limes; ami instantly the
miserly money grabber hurries to
his vault with his gold, buries it
in a box, locks the heavy door,
and ghoulisbly predicts a rise in
the per centum.
It is the way of tin* world.
There is not enough money in
the world |o liquidate the debt
gloomy talk and gloomy predic
tions have unloaded upon 11s.
What we want and need today
and tomorrow is fewer peddlers
of gloom, ami more men and wo
■ men of sanity and good cheer to
peddle sunshine.—Seattle Sun.

motorcycle, (he automobile and
