LEADING MISTAKES IN LIFE
Writer Has Recorded Ten, Of Which
Most Of Us Assuredly Have
Our Share.

Some of us may be glad to be told
that there are only ten life mistakes,
for there seem to be so many more,
but a recent writer has catalogued
them. Perhaps these are only the ten
leading ones from which the smaller
errors arise. Let's look over the list
and see how many of them are ours:
First, to set up our own standard Of
right and wrong and judge people &C
cordingly; second, to measure the en-
joyment of others by our own; third,
to expect uniformity of opinion in this
world; fourth, to look for judgment
and experience in youth; fifth, to en-
deavor to mold all dispositions alike;
sixth, to look for perfection in our
own actions; seventh, to worry our
selves and others with what cannot
be remedied; eighth, to refuse to yield
in immaterial matters; ninth, to re-
fuse to alleviate, so far as it lies in
our power, all which needs allevia-
ton; tenth, to refuse to make allow
snce for the infirmities of others.

Marshall Refuses Troops.

Realizing that the situation was des-
perate, Local Agent c. A. McNutt sent
in a hurry call for the police, and
telegraphed Governor Marshall for
troops. The latter, however, declined
to order out the militia until ne was
assured the police were not able to
cope with the situation.
The standing of the freight train
tied up east and west traffic until af-
ter daylight, five passenger trains be-
ing held in the local yard and later
annulled. Up to that hour the local
police were unable to secure coupling
pins from the company. Because of
this fact the police expressed them
selves as believing that the stalling of
the freight might have been a strate-
gic move on the part of the Grand
Trunk to make it appear that they
could not secure protection from To-
cal authorities and that it was neces-
sary to call upon the state for troops.
