Someone Iibb defined the pessimist as a man who, of two evils, chooses both, says a writer In Success Maga zine. If we are to believe tho pessi mist, life on this plnnet Is not worth living, and, anyway, the planet is not going to last. Boon tho food of tho world will give out, and we shall all starve, and the only hope thnt tho pessimist grants us is that we shall all freeze before that time, because of the grasping Coal Trust and the ex haustion of the coal supply. Wo do not take much stock in pes simists and do not waste our time in listening to them. We always And that the Inevitable evil never happens, and somehow the human race does not Btarve, freeze, or kill itself off, but manages to get out of more Scrapes than it ever ought to have gotten Into. And recently our opti mism has been wonderfully bolstered up by a report of the Geological Sur vey. Thnt report tells us that there are Mil! two thousand billions of tons of u ti mined coal in tho United States, worth more, at seven cents a ton! than all our National possessions; enough, at our present into of con sumption, to last live thousand years, nml a great many years more. De cidedly, we shall not soon freeze. Tho wonderful thing about this" Is tho boundless, measureless generosity of nature. Sho is like tho fairy godmother who gives whatever we ask. Let us use up ono of her gifts", and we stumble upon nnolher. When the English exhnusted their forests a new fuel, coal, was discovered. Tho coal hud always been there; only the knowloilge of It and of its use was new. When, finally, tho coal bed Is depleted, we shall doubtless draw our heat and our power from the waves of the sea, from the sunlight, from forces undreamed of, hut which exist, even now, before our unseeing eyes. It is not nature which is narrow and cramped, but our own minds. A Wily Old Indian Chief. The hope of ever capturing Crazy Snake, leader of the full-blooded Creek Indians, hns been abandoned by the State authorities of Oklahoma. Following the campaign made by the Oklahoma National Guard last spring to capture him, It was reported by closo friends of Crazy Snako that he desired to surrender, como to Guthrie and hold a pow-wow with Governor Haskell. To this tho Governor and National Guard officers agreed, offer ing him military protection, hut weeks of waiting brought no Crazy Snake. Later Tllghman, a pioneer deputy marshal, Indian fighter and Bcout, was commissioned by IlaakcM to hold a pow-wow with Crazy Snake, if pos sible, deliver to him a greeting from the Slate government and guide him to Guthrie, the invitation being writ ten and signed by Haskell, speaking as the head of one government to an other, guaranteeing the State's fullest protection and paying Crazy Snako the homage due his Btallon. The document, carried by Tilgh man, was highly emblazoned, he decked with goose quills, with figured margins strung with vari-colored rib bons, lavishly stamped with the great Beal of the State and with many gild ed stickers. Tllghman several weeks ago delivered this document to Crazy Snake's personal followers. But the wily leader has not deigned an acknowledgment, and, weary from waiting, Tllghman has returned to Guthrie. Evidently the old Indian intends to take no chances. Guthrie (Okla.)

Any one looking at him for the first .time could hardly have failed to guess that he came from that section of the country where mother's pies are as good, and therefore as popular, as they ever were, and as he entered tho. hotel and planked his carpet bag on the counter the room clerk winked at the fellows about the office, sb much as to say, "Watch me dazzle the reub." "Good morning, sir," he said, po litely. "Mornln"," said the farmer. "Got a place where a feller can sleep here?" "Yes, I guess so," said the clerk. Do you want a room with a bath?"

An English Racing Story; To an owner of racehorses there are few more expensive luxuries than an unsound animal, and therefore the recent disappointment of a certain youthful noble lord who manfully gave 1500 guineas for a bargain which turned out to be woefully de jected in his "understandings" can readily be understood. "Let me see; you are the rascal who sold me a horse with only three legs and a swinger," he said one day, chancing to-bump up asalnst tha horse's late owner In the paddock at Kempton. "Certainly," replied the late owner, gleefully, "that is to say, if you are really the idiot I sold him to." Tit-Bits. F. S.

President Diaz has ruled for so long that people are saying, and have said for a long time, espe cially in the northern part of the country, that it is time for him to step aside for a younger man. Then there are a great many disappointed office seekers in the 'country who would gladly welcome a revolution, with the hope .that the turn of the wheel would give them good, fat jobs. Others hate Diaz for penalties he has in flicted on their friends, and there are several thousand malcontents along tbe Mexican border on the Texas line, who dare not return to Mexico for fear they will be imprisoned or exe cuted.
