Pittsburg, Pa, July 13.-George
Gould spent the day here looking over
the work on the Wabash system, He
was also taken in a steam launch up
the Monongahela river and saw the
greatest tonnage producing district in
the world for the first time. This dis
trict he proposes to tap for freight.
Mr.. Gould said the story that he is
Interested in an ocean to ocean" rail-
road scheme was absurd.
Mr.. Gould said the Wabash system
between Toledo and Pittsburg will be
completed in eighteen months. He
will then devote his energies toward
extending the system to Baltimore.
Mr.. Gould was questioned relative
to his idea OF the future OF business.
He said he could not see any signs of
cessation. He understood. from what
he had gathered, that lull was immi-
nent but by fall he looked for a re
sumption of the boom which had kept

Denver, July 13.-General Roger
Williams Woodbury.. one OF the found
ers OF Denver and one of the best
known and most influential men in the
state. died from heart trouble, at 8

he was apparently well and strong
when. according to his custom. he
started to retire early. He was in his
bedroom when seized with the attack
of heart failure which ended fatally.
Everything possible was done to save
his life. but without avail. General
Woodbury's son. Frank. was notified
of his fathers death at l O'Clock Sun
day morning and the body was brought
to Denver late in the day
General Woodbury. was 62 years of
age. and up to about a year ago had al
ways enjoyed excellent health. At that
time he suffered n severe attack of

painful results.

year or more.
He said reports he had received dur
ing his tour OF inspection were very
encouraging, more so in Pittsburg than
in any other section. While he had
been acquainted in n manner with the
resources of this territory. he now be
gins to realize that they were greater
than he had ever known. Talks he
had with manufacturers. especially
those in the coal. coke and steel indus
tries, led him to believe 1t will require
several years before the demand for
improvements and extensions ceases.
Continuing. he said: II can not
agree with financiers who believe that
the nation has reached its zenith or
prosperity. There is much work TO
be done and it is only by travelling
over the country that the enormous
undertakings which. together with the
smaller ones that must necessarily be
overlooked. impress one with the mag
nitude of the work to be done"

takes. What need here is a progress
sive nan-one with plenty of push and
enterprise. Now, man who Is full of
zeal for me and primed with ambition
for himself is sure to make a. mistake
now and then. The man who never
blunders is too cautious, too slow to be
worth much here. Recently I had a
statement made out showing me the
percentage of increase or decrease in
the business of each department. I am
sorry to say that your department is
the only one that causes me any I'M
easiness. I find the reason to be that
you are too uniformly cautious. You
never make any mistakes! Unless you
can soon show some changes in your
methods, Mr.. Smith, you will not be a
candidate for. continued employment in
this establishment
Then you want me to make mistakes
hereafter" cried the dazed department
manager.
There, again, you have failed to get
the idea. The man who makes lot of
senseless blunders is an expensive lux
ury. The man who never does any
thing foolish is equally useless. Pro-
vided you blunder once in while, yet
show me that yeur department is be-
coming increasingly profitable to me, ! I
shall consider you a valuable man.

MAN WHO MAKES MISTAKES.
Mr.. Jordan Insisted That There be a
Few in His Employees Record.

Mr.. Jordan Insisted That There be a
Few in His Employees Record.
1t is by no means new conception In
commercial circles that the man who
makes mistakes, and who therefore
finds himself an object of censure from
his employer, may really be very val
liable employee. Yet it has probably oc-
CURED to but few people who toll for
success that there is corollary to the
effect that he who goes on in his placid
business way year after year, without
being guilty of a single error, Is posi-
tive menace to the well-being of the one
who engages his services.
No American business man UNDER
stood this latter proposition better than
the late Eben D. Jordan, of Boston,
founder of the great dry goods house of
Jordan, Marsh & Co. During one of his
daily strolls through the store Mr.. Jor-
dams glance fell upon one of his men
who for ten years had been at the head
OF a certain department.
"That reminds me-" unused Mr.. Jor-
dan, .sthat made a note yesterday to
look into the record of this Mr. Smith,
I'll do so to-day 81.
Returning to his private office, he
sent for one of his head men and in
quired: q. @.~

''Such, believe, has been my record,
sir" replied Smith, who now saw his
way to certain promotion.
II want you to mend your ways, Mr..

ia castle with a secret which is Know

"a Castle With a Secret Which is Known
Only to Three Persons.
Near the border Of two Scottish Coun-
ties, set in the middle Of broad and
fertile strath, and protected from the
northern blasts by a range Of lofty
mountains, there stands, and has stood
for genera tions an ancient feudal castle
Although the oldest wing dates from
the thirteenth century, the greater part
of it was built in Jacobean days, and
with Its numerous turrets, battlements,
corbels, and pinnacies recalls the
glories Of Chantilly and other great
French chateaux Of the same period. It
belongs together with the surrounding
estate. to a wealthy peer, whose grand
father married a north Of England heir
ess with a dowry Of over million sterl-
ing During the greater part of the
year the castle is untenanted save by a
few servants and caretakers; for the
owner spends his winter abroad and his
summers In the English seat brought
into the family by the aforementioned
heiress. But during the autumn month
1t is full of life and gaiety; for its
kindly lord and lady, who have many
children and grandchildren and a host
of friends, keep open house then in
their old Scottish home. and it's halls
and corridors, narrow passages, and
winding staircases echo with the sound
7of merry voice and the tread of youth
full feet from morning till night.

guest finds the old castle. and warm as

Think over what ! have said to you.
Mr.. Smith. 1t is equally applicable to
any business that calls for progressive
men and methods. If at any time you
are in doubt come to me for advice.
Remember that in my life Of striving
and struggling I have made plenty of
plumbers and yet have made some mon

1t is worth while recording that Smith
lost, with reason. much of his conpla-
cency about the absence of mistakes in
his work, but he showed an improved
balance sheet and retained his position,
