The Optimism and Healthy Good Cheer of Backbone gives the in-
spiration to look on the "sunny side of things." Everyone needs a little
encouragement at times and all will benefit by its reading. Backbone
contains over 80 pages of gloom-dispelling philosophy, the best of the
"Keep-a-Pushing" poetry and hundreds of remarkably good sayings,
mottoes and aphorisms of our ablest men. A few of the Backbone
Bracers are the chapters on Character, Cheerfulness, Purpose, Success,
Opportunity. Progress, Worry, Persistence, Self-Improvement, Training, Little Things,
Courage, Self-Confidence, Mistakes, Thoroughness, Enemies, Love, Criticism, Duty,
Work, and a dozen other subjects.
These chapters are introduced with splendid original articles by Dr. W. C. Ab-
bott, Dr. George F. Butler, J. D. Albright, A. S. Burdick, W. F. Waugh, and others.
