OPTIMISM.
An American Club Organized to Make
People Smile.
The Optimist Club of America
lias been organized at Salt Lake
City, one it is purposed to have
spread all over the country. Kvery
city is invited to form a club. Pres
ident Roosevelt has been made an
honorary member. Here is the

“Go bury thy sorrows, the world
hath its share” . Just smile.
