MAKE YOUR OWN DECISION.

@#.a MAKE YOUR OWN DEClSlON.
Human life and business are alike in that neither
ever stops on dead center You are either going for
ward or backward and it is the same with your bust
ness This applies to you, too.
If you are the responsible head of business, your
effort during the day has been either for the gain
loss of that concern If you working at trade, and
your days work was done in slovenly manner you
dissatisfied and is harder for you get good start
the next day.
Every man has to watch himself to keep keyed up
to gait that will make his work effective You can not
keep in condition without constant training Sometimes
you get rut You may be slowly walking ahead, and
still be on travelling sidewalk that is carrying you
backward faster than you pushing yourself for
ward.
And isten That invisible platform is right at your
side all the time and it always has the appearance ofbe-
ing the smoohest path 1t is hard to keep from stepping
on it. Sometimes you get it and don't know it. 1t car
ries you back before you realize what has happened
Then you have get off and to get back up to the
place you started from 1t requires lot of energy to
gain back the lost ground and you get that
lost time back.
There are many of those roads that travel back
ward Indifference is one and lack Of decision is another
They both run in the wrong direction for you.
Lack of decision kills about as much time in this
world as any one thing The man who never makes up
his mind until he has consulted everybody, and even
then is ready to open up the question for reconsdera
ton never accomplishes anything. The positive man
will make mistake but he will not be long in rectfyng
it, It is better to make occasional mistake than to
never make anything.
The man who does forcefu work, decides how he is
going to do thing and does it that way He does it just
as good and as hard he can, and then dismisses it
from his mind He does not confuse it with half dozen
other unsettled things in his mind He concentrates his
thought and his energy and his effort His focusing
power is perfect to the limits of his ability.
Half decided things clog the mind. Make your de-
csion do the work and close the matter Men who do
that can sleep when they go to bed
You will never develop a good judgment unless you
make final decisions Your judgment will improve as
YOU trust it, depend upon it and use it.

Charley Comiskey started it

Charlie Murphy has offered
$4,000 for the artillerymen.
And it is possible some other
manager will slip one over and
kick it higher. Murphy's offer is
a record for minor league players.
O'Toole Is a strikeout pitcher
He caused IT Milwaukee players

HOW THEY sTAND-BEFoRE AND AFTER


1t all started in the second.
After Pettigrew had famed, Har-
rison singled to center, then Ber-
tie gave Coltrin a free trip and
filled the bases by doing likewise
with Lamline. Mr.. Stovall, the
right fielder for the Pippins, then
came up swinging his trusty club,
but he was destined not to use
It for he was presented with four
of the wide ones and he walked
1eisurely down to the initial bag
and Harris trotted home.
Mike then decided that Hall
had contributed enough to Port
lands run column and sent in
Tex Baker, the new twirler.
The bases were full and it was an
awfully bad spot to be dropped in
so Baker can hardly be blamed
for the two other runs that cross
ed the pan.
After the spasm in the second
the scores didn't come over with
such speed, although Portland an
nexed one each in the fourth and
seventh. The Tigers woke up in
the fifth stanza and filled the
bases by a hit and two walks.
Baker then came up and had a
chance to tie the score with a
homer but all that he did was to
slam a hard liner to Coltrin, al
lowing Rocky to score and being
pegged out at first himself. Bas-
sey then arose to do his duty, but
could not connect and the fracas
was over.
We put another on the score
board after Lamline had acted
mean and hit two players In the
solar plexus and Speas muffed
Bassey's fly. The eighth and
ninth were featureless in the way
of scores for both sides and the
game ended with six scores to our
two. We might have had anoth-
er II Coleman had stayed on third
after slashing out that three-bag-
ger In the fourth instead of try
ing to steal home. But then the
Pippins had to win yesterday with
the McCredies present in the
grandstand.

American association. Charlie
Chech held the latter with four
teen strikeouts until O'Toole per-
formed.
But O'Toole has another claim
to notice. Last summer, with
Sioux City, to which team he was
loaned by st. Paul, he caused Is
Lincoln batters to swing fruitless-
ly.
Owner Lennon of the Saints
says the money does not appeal to
him. He is willing to sell, but
wants players of class in trade
as we'll. 1t is probable the club
with acceptable material Will have
the call.
The Cleveland club has offered
Catcher Grover Land to st. Paul
in exchange for Kelly.
The offer by Murphy Is a rec
ord breaker. The old Boston club
paid $4,000 for Mike Kelley and
the same for John GARRISON, at
different times, but no organiza-
ton has ever paid this sum In a
lump for two players. The record
cash transaction to date is be-
lieved to be $4,000, paid by Nc
Graw for Marquardt and Durham.

continues in the style he is now
hitting up.
Victoria has another pitcher to
take the place of Smoke" Thorn
as. He is giant and halls from
Los Angeles where he has been
pitching for several years. Vic
toria claims to have hopes for
that pennant yet, and from the
way they are keeping things hot
lately it looks like they will crawl
up some closer than they are at
present anyway.

ship their boat overland to White

steam down the Yukon river to

Pixies PEAK AUTO
ROAD Is PLANNED

The county commissioners OF Fl
Paso county, with the assistance of
Colorado Springs, Colorado City. Nam
itou and the little resort towns of
Ute Pass, are planning TO build an
automobile road to the summit OF
Pixies Peak within the next two years.
1t is estimated that It will cost be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 and It is
probable that a subscription list will
be started In the near future. 1t is
figured that such road would be a
valuable addition to the scenic attrac-
tions of the Colorado Springs district.
Last Sunday former Mayor D. N.
Heller OF Colorado Springs, now a res
ident Of Cascade, accompanied by the
county commissioners. made a trip
OF inspection over the old wagon road
from Cascade to the summit of the
peak and 1t is their belief that with
a comparatively small amount Of
work. this road can be made passabie
to all automobiles. Although It was
abandoned several years ago. the old
wagon road is still very good in places
in spite of the fact that Its grade OF
from 4 to 10 per cent. 1t woud be nec-
essary to reduce this grade to max
imum of 1o1a per cent, but the COM
missioners believe that this is possi-
