Show The True Optimist. Charles F. Murphy, the Tammany leader, praising optimism, said : "When I nm looking for cheery, bracing brac-ing optimism, I often think of th street musician playing 'Christian! Awake' on a cornet In the midst of a driving snowstorm on Christmas day. "The snow fell, the wind blew and the musician standing in a deep drift, tooted away when a lady passed. "The man looked down at his shabby attire and said lo himself proudly and optimistically : "'How lucky it's only my shoes that's full of holes. They don't show at all in this deep snow.' " Washington Washing-ton Star. |
