A DANGEROUS CONDITION.
Loosening Rocks at the Horse Shot
Curve a Menace.

The attention of the Hudson Rive
Railroad and Ferry Company is calle'
to the dangerous condition of the
Palisades at the Horse Shoe Curve
The rocks there are not all sole
where the cliff was blasted at the
curve, and on February 20, during the
heavy rain and wind storm, severa.
small boulders slipped from their bed
and went crashing down on the
track, any one of which striking the
roof of a passing car would have
gone through with a crash and pos
sible danger to passengers. The
company would do we'll to have a
competent man examine the cliffs all
along the route up the hill, sounding
every foot of the way to find if there
are any more loose stones liable to
fall. "A stitch in time, saves nine,
is an old saw which may be OF value
to the railroad people if they but
heed this suggestion.

Mistakes.

By George William Jordan.
There are only two classes of peo-
pie who never make mistakes-they
are the dead and the unborn.
An oyster never makes a mistake
it hasn't mind
Let us be glad of the privilege OF
making mistakes.
Mistakes are the growing pains of
wisdom.
Mistakes are the assessments we
pay on our stock of experience
Mistakes are the raw material OF
error we can transform into higher
living.
Mistakes are the misdeeds OF judg-
ment
Mistakes are the profit and loss ac-
count OF wisdom.
Even a great mistake Is only an
episode, never a whole life.
Mistakes are always part OF learn
ing.
Man becomes great not through
never making mistakes, but by protlt-
ing by those he does make.
Man becomes great by building a
glorious to-day on the ruins OF his
yesterday.
Man becomes great by rising with
renewed strength, finer purpose and
freshened courage every time he falls
Regret without regeneration IS an
emotional gold brick.
Realizing mistakes is good; realiz-
ing on them is better.
False pride perpetuates our mis-
takes, deters us from confessing them,
debars us from repairing them and
ceasing them.
False pride makes a man eclipse
himself with himself
