Not Responsibio for Failure.

In 1.-The Mere Incident of Failure" by
VIII Payne, in the January Everybodys
the writer says:
You may be exactly right in your
Judgment of the particular proposition
that engages your attention, and yet
fail because the fux of numberless and:
often inscrutable causes that play upon
business turns against you. Theodore
H. Price was decidedly right about cot
ton in 1900. He said it was too low. It
stood at 9x cents a pound when his
Arm failed with Liabilities of $13, 900. coo.
The failure. did not disturb Mr.. Price,
however. 1t did not change his opin-s
ion that cotton was too low. He raised
some more homeopathy, 1t Is said, by
writing life insurance-and tried again.
Soon after the failure cotton was UP to,
IL cents and Mr.. Price was rich again.
Simply being right in your Judgment
Of a particular proposition counts for as
little as being wrong in your judgment
of 1t. Wheat at 60 cents a bushel IN
Chicago is too low. Anybody can see
that, because it does not repay the cost
of production. Thousands did see IL
along In 1894 and 1895. For months ey-
cry time the ticket licked little groups
Of them went over like tenpins hit by
ball. For while wheat was obviously
too low, it wouldn't go up. Not that
there was any overproduction, nor that
competition was less, nor that there was
any lack Of money to carry the stocks
of grain; but just because the county
had the blues. That is Illogical; but It
counted quite as much as though 1t had
come out of Rants Pure Reason.

in which Orchard denied he had ever
seen k u. Strong. the mine owner S
detective Of Cripple Creek. except at
the office Of D. c. Scott. the railroad
detective.
During the day other witnesses gave
testimony tending to implicate Orchard
with the mine owners detectives, and
several Of the witnesses on whose testi-
mony the formal impeaching questions
asked of Orchard by the defense were
based. were also examined.
Orchard himself was or the stand for
an hour or more in the morning, while
the last of these impeaching questions
were asked and some corrections were
made in these, which Richardson had
asked the last time Orchard was in
court.
He was confronted, one after another,
by four or five Of the witnesses who will
testify to having heard him make
threats against Steunenberg's life.
He faced them all with perfect cool
ness, and admitted knowing some OF
them, while denying acquaintance with
the others AS when the other impeach-
