mm l THOUGHTS ON BUSINESS BY WALDO PONDRAY WARREN RUNNING DOWN AN ERROR IN talking with a successful business manager noMong ago the subject of correcting errors came up. I asked him: "How do you treat an employe when you find thnt he has made a mistake?" "It depends on the employe," he said, "and on the nature of the mistake. I havegreat deal moro leniency for a mis take due to Ignorance than for one due to carelessness. But I do pot believe In abusing an employe for a mistake. I tako the attitude that It Is a serious thing, and that doubtless he feels badly about It. I don't try to smooth it over, but let his own self-convlctlon be his punlsh'ment." "And what about correcting It?" "Usually I require him to look into the matter and report to me, and show me Just exactly how the mistake happened. He usually knows that point better than anyone else can tell him. t question him quietly until he admits that it was just because he let It go, or because he assumed some point with out Investigation, or some such reason. Nearly every mis take can be traced back to some source of that kind. When the real reason is brought to light we talk It over as the occa sion warrants, and I make-sure that he corrects the underly ing thought which gave occasion for the error. This gives fair assurance that a similar mistake will not occur again. That Is better than mere scolding." (Copyright, 1M7, by Jo.fph B. Bottle.)

There Is not u section of tho city, from tho stockyards to cx cluBiro Lake View, whoro So phist Ilnrrlson is not known hy reaHOU of her family connec tion. She Inherited tho spirit of her father, tho elder Car ter Harrison, four times uinyor of tho city, a Kentucky blue blood. Her lat est husband Is Baker Edwards of Nor folk, Va. Chicago had followed Its famous daughter In her Journey to the south, where alio hnd Interests, iu. some sort of corporation Unit had Its stocks nud bond's. The town was not so much hi terested In this as It was In the news thnt drifted hack, which hinted thnt "Sophy" everybody in Chicago knows her as "Sophy," and she tins never takon umbrage at tho familiarity was engaged. One of her brothers, .Prei ton, was with her, and Chicago knows him as tho handsome boy of the fam Hy ho has the shade of Hindustan in his face and then it was known that Mrs. Enstman's sister, Mrs. Hcatoii Ousley, wns also there to see "Sophy" married. Mrs. Ousley Is one of the women in Chicago who know tho so clal cult to Its Uttermost. Tho marriage of "Sophy" startled slumbering recollections from their hammock. She it was who, as the mayor's home representative, received Princess Enlalle, Spain'B offering to the opening of tho Columbian exposi tion. I was in the EgypUan parlor of tho Palmer House tho day that "Sophy," coached by her splendidly equipped sister, Mrs. Hcatou Ousley, was, "un beknownst" to the peepers, rehearsing HECEIVISO l'ni.NCESS EOIiALnt royal kotows and salaams before the great mirror In the Unlooses room. I saw her later kneel before tho lmugh ty Eulalle and aunolut the epidermis of the Jeweled Spanish hand accord ing to old Cdstllc. IIclos for all the other girls hi Cht cago! How they longed to be "Sophy" Harrison'. A year or a little more time doesn't matter. "Sophy" was a fiancee. She became the wife of Barret Eastman. He was a dramatic critic and a hand some fellow. But, more thnn these, he was the son of bis father, and bis father harked back to the old school that swarmed about the White House when James Buchanan was president. And Buchanan made Eastroau pore postmaster at Chicago. When "Sophy" Harrison walked down the aisle of the church on the arm of her handsome father, who hnd the air of a Charles I. cavalier, while the "Lohengrin" march marked time to the altar, and was given away to Barret Eastman, Chicago before the fire was there to sec. As the wedded pair came out to Mendelssohn measures old Fernando Jones, the only living pio neer of Chicago, tipped his hat and said the sun was in business that day for the Harrisons and Eastmans only.

Sic transit, Llgel Now Bishop Fallows of tho Reform ed Eplscopnl church comes out with a yi lucsis mat many bodily atlllctlous can be eliminat ed by reading passages of holy writ which seem to bear on their n mictions. At the snme time the nflllctcd must breathe deeply. Expect soon to see the hustling population here such nsinny think they have an in llrmlly rending snatches from tUe good book and raising wind at tho same time from their lum bar regions. Mayhap this Is a good ntneo to work lu that word tho bishop sees In his faith healing propaganda an op portunity to encourage Chicago to search the Scriptures. Doesn't it bent tho Dutch how some folks who reach the crest of tho ad vancing wave nre never content unUl they take u header and get stuck fast in tho mire nnd tho clny? Peter Van Vllssengen ls tho latest to make tho descent. Not very many years ago his name was on most of the va cant houses to let and for sale signs on the unoccu pied lands and frog ponds ad jacent to tho city. Peter was in the ilrst boat on the high tide. For no concelv able reason other than that he was a natural born rascal he worked out a scheme of systematic and cunning forgery of notes and real estate trust deeds a 11 U mortgages, oot erlng a period of many years. He sold the spuri ous paper far and anotheu stuped near, even iuvnd- suit. lng the old world. The fraudulent pa per began mnturiug. He didn't "or couldn't meet it. nnd that sure footed exposure which bides its time with the erring came down upon him nnd got him. In twenty years his frauds piled up to $750,000. His arrest, indictment, trial and sentence occupied less than a half day. Part of this speed was due to Van Vllssingen. Ho threw up bis hands and, as our English cousins say, laid over. Indeterminate sentence, from one to fourteen years, for Van Vllssin gen. Another striped suit for a mil lionaire. Who's next? When the Chicago Times was the Incarnation of Wilbur F. 8torey it kept a hot griddle on hand upon which Mr. Storey placed anybody or anything be didn't like and prepared a roast with all tho glee of a detective's ghoul. Lydia and her blonds camo to town. Although the Times' critic, who, by the way, was an Englishman, wrote pieces about tho show, they did not pester Lydln. It was not until Mr. Storey himself wrote one of his white heat editorial paragraphs In which Miss Thompson was metaphorically bruised that tho latter became excited. Mr, Storey then lived In that very ex clusive thoroughfare, Prairie avenue. One morning Miss Thompson nnd sev eral of her company, who were better known for their mriscular proficiency than for their musical attainments, waildcred to the editorial mansion as Mr. Storey was coming through the gate. Making certalu of his Identity, fehe struck him once on the arm, nnd tho Incident closed. Mr Storey camo downtown, swore out n warrant, and Lydia was haled to n police court She was fined $5 That's all thorn Irf to tho yarn about Ljdla Thompson's cowhide attack upon the unite' boarded face of "Old Storey" It's different !from the obit of I ll.i Thompson printed the other da in w York newspaper1 KEVFlttY nrtUX.
