(j -f. " llllHlll'lll"' '! THOUGHTS ON BUSINESS BY WALDO TONDRAY WARREN WHY MISTAKES ARE MADE MISTAKES do not "happen" they are the results of causes. A vast measure of time, money, and oppor tunity Is lost In making mistakes and trying to rectify them. To correct mistakes Is a good work, but to prevent them Is a far higher achievement. The "ounce of prevention" may be applied by carefully considering somo of the chief causes of errors In business. They are: Carelessness, Inattention and superficial Interest; Laziness not being willing to take the trouble; Accepting appearances as facts without Investigation; Proceeding without discussion or advice; Impulsive decisions not Well thought out; Lack of foresight and preparation; Wrong theories and biased advice; False economy and desire for gain; Lack of tact and thoughtfulness; Forgetting and neglect of duty; Depending on those not properly Instructed; Failure to take due precautions; Failure to safeguard weak points; Overconfldence and exaggerated hopes. The remainder may be charitably classed as the result of human frailty a last resort In explaining mistakes that can not be rectified nor traced to their roots In undeveloped char acter.

A GREEN OLD AGE. I Predict Passage of Laws Forbidding Ownership of Lands and Attendance at Public Schools by Japanese Real, dents of 8tate. Following the receipt of Bpeclal en bio dispatches from San Francisco, relative to matters now pending bo fore the California legislature, Japa nese nowspapers at Tokyo elab orate upon the strained relations that may arise through the passage of bills and tho enactment of laws forbidding the ownerships of lands and tho at tendance of public schools by Japa nese residents of the Btate. A major Ity of tho papers assume the passago of tho bills as a probability, and pro test ngalnst them as an Injustice to tho Jnpnncso now living In California. Tho Asahl, the JIJI and the Niehl Nichl express surprise at what is termed an evidence of unfriendliness after tho sincere effort on Japan's part to prove her friendship toward the people of the United States. The extreme opposition papers assail the Japanese government for "falling into tho nrms of a nation which, at tho first opportunity, not only shows Its un friendly spirit, but even denies equal opportunity to tho Japanese." Newspapers published in English, representing British au'd German In terests, nre nklng much of the Call fomla legislature's action and arc pointing out that America, while re cently endeavoring to create an lm presslon of friendliness toward Japan, really was unfriendly. Tho situation is seriously embarrass ing to Americans residing in Japan and especially so as the Incident fol lows so closely tho creation of an ex cellent feeling through the visit of the Atlantic lleet, tho American com mission to tho Japanese exposition and the excursion of business men fiom cities of the Pacific const. The foreign oiuce Is endeavoring to con tlnce the protesting newspapers that the action of tho California legisla ture does not represent general Amer ican sentiment, but the publications continue to bo extremely pessimistic In their tones and' some 61 the edi torials of tho opposition press becom ing violent, are liable temporarily to inllnmo popular opinion and seriously hamper the oxerclso of American Influ ence In Japan for many years.

FARflER: Are ou looking ahead for your son, or if you nfe a renter are ou looking ahead for yourself? Are yougpintf to accept this chance for a homestead that Uncle Sam has made possible for you? Are you dozing over this, -vyhile your more alert neighbor is acting? Don't ou realize that the irrigated homesteads now being offered by the government in the Big Morn Basin and North Platte Val ley will prove to be the richest land prizes that the govern ment has bestowed on its citizens. You certainly ought to know of the present land hunger in this country. Now you have the government furnishing you 80 and 160 acre tracts of land irrigated by the intelligence and financial security of Uncle Sam who has suddenly become the greatest irrigator the world has ever known, who offers you abundant and per petual water with the choicest land at $35 to $45 peracre in ten annual payments without interest; land that will yield more in one year per acre than the price of the farm. Do-you lealuc what a "good thine" this is in tliis.day and age? If you do not, let me tell you something about it. Personally conducted homeseekers excursions first ami third Tuesdays of each month.

Pitchers may come and pitchers may go, but the name of "Old Hoss" Rad bourne goes on forever. 1 have talked to many great ball players who have lamented to me the fact that baseball fame Is so ephemeral that it was not worth the gaining, and, while no doubt this Is In a great measure true, there Is one pitcher who has left a namo that promises to roll on for many, many years. Each year hundreds of pitchers claim attention of the world, and each year they are promptly forgotten. Rut 1111-1 nols produced a man who, altliou'i now years deceased, nas a uri'juier name than any of the great multitude. In the great campaign of 1881, when the Providence club, then n member of (he National league, was fighting a bit ter game with Philadelphia, a catastro phe occurred that seemingly would disrupt its chances of winning the pen nant, A player named Sweeney, who was pitching, was ordered to go Into right field to change places with "Cy clone" Miller. At that time It was not permissible to take a pitcher out of tho game. AVbereupon Sweeney promptly walked out of the game, leaving the team with only eight men and with one pitcher, Charles Radbourne. Two men tried to cover the field, with the result that Providence was completely snowed under. A meeting of the directors was held to decide whether or not the club should be dis banded. Certainly a professional team was never In n sorrier plight. Radbourne was approached and the i proposition put to linn, "I can win it all right," said he quietly and in a matter of fact tone. And then followed the most remark able battle for a pennant that the world has ever seen. Radbourne es tablished a record that has never been equaled, one that will live when more expensive contests will have been blissfully forgotten. Of tweiit.v-een consecutive games Radbourne won twenty-six. In four games with Bos ton he had three shutouts, only one run was scored aud only seventeen hits were made. Thjs defeat was suf fered at the hands of Hutl'alo by a score of " to 0. and even then only five hits wro made oil him, showing that the defeat was not due to poor pitching. Needless to say. Providence won the pennant, or, rather, Rad bourne won the pennant. Hut the great player had to pay the price. No arm could stand the awful strain without great agony. Morning after morning when Radbourne arose he could not lift his arm as high as his waist. He had to brush his hair with his lert hand. Hut he did not give up the game. He would slip out to the park about two hours before the lest or the team put In an ap pearance and would begin the excru ciating process of Umbering up. He would pitch the ball only a few feet when he would first go out, but he would keep on trying time after time, rubbing his arm with bis left hand. Sometimes his face would be drawn up Into contortions, but never a word of complaint left his lips. Half an hour before the game was to begin the players would slip out to see how "Old Hoss" was getting along. They would sit silently on tho bench, waiting for his arm to get Into condi tion. When he was able to throw from second to home base a rousing cheer would go up, for they knew that meant the winning of die game for them. Radbourne claimed for his homo Hloonilngion, 111. Alter his great sea son with Providence managers all over the country were upon his heels. Flat terlug otters poured In, and he was not under contract with Providence for the net mmmiii cither. When the contest ( was over the late Ned Allen, pie.sideut it tin leain tlint mmmiii, sent for Rad- bourne He l.ild the release before 1 lilm and close beside It a blank con- tract. Radbourne looked at them both for -feveral minutes and then Mowly took up a pen and filled the blank out for a sum only $i.Xi0 higher than he had been getting and tore up the re lease, Allen almost fell on his neck and wept for Joy. Radbourne's last year In baseball was wllh Cincinnati In 18!1, but It was a sad year. It seems a plly that the ca reer of so gie.tt a ball player should end so sadly. That year his work fchoweel great deterioration, for the aw ful strain made In 1884 was beginning to tcdl on bis arm. At the end of the season he was too proud to go Into minor league baseball and so entirely withdrew from the game. He return ed to Rlnomiugton. wbeie he opened n billiard hall. He bad little to sav and In unwinking silence would sit In a corner and w'atch the youug men lnugh as they played. He would talk about himself only when cornered, and then but for a few short words. He had al ways been an ardent fisherman, hunter ami sportsman, but he gave up the open life. BjcIi voar his taciturnity Increased until he became almot sul len. After 11 time he gave up his billiard hnll and retired Into the obscurity of his home, seldom lettlui; people see him. t l.si.
