The Art Of Making Mistakes.
BY DIR. FRANK CRANE.

That most important thing in life, sue
cess. is learned only by mastering the art
of making mistakes.
Walking has been defined as a success
sion of falls forward.
Why should our mistakes irritate us:
They are the cement foundation of char
acter.
Anything you do well and satisfactorily
with smooth precision and faultless ac-
curacy. is deadly. For. in the first place
it ceases to interest you.
A man who could stand at one hole and
drive golf ball squarely into the mex,
hole every tinf, in one stroke would no,
care to play The game; it would be toe
much like fork. Furthermore, they
wouldn't let HIN play: no club would keeI
him; he would have to join a circus.
So why worry when your pen slips, OF
your tongue, Tor your heart, and you
write. say or leve the thing you shouldn't:
If you recognize your fault, are sorry fol
it, and try next time to do better, there
has certain juice entered into your soul
a certain toughness of fiber formed il
your character. that does you deal more
good than any faultlessness could have
done
For, bear in mind life is the thing, and
to make life sweet and human and help
full and rich in love and power, that is the
thing.
Life is progress; and progress comes
only by failure. every day. every hour
stumbling and rising again, being bruised
and healed. If you never missed. never
erred. nor misjudged, this earthly bal
would be no place for you. For you woulC
be dreadfully lonesome. And besides yol
would be stationary. Also a bore.
You are marked. by the recording angel
not for the number of things you do JUS
right, but by the spirit in which you ge
up and go at it again when you have
done things wrong.
Hence learn the art of making mis-
takes: that is, learn how to smile and OH,
them by how to profit by them anC
above all, how to keep from being poi
soned by the microbes of encouragement
they are liable to breed.

IN BUSINESS CIRCLES.

Trade conditions during the year have
been excellent, according to reports from
the Washington branch of r. G. Dun &
Co., notwithstanding the fact that there
have been ninety-nine commercial fall
ures during the year. representing assets
of $71S.455 and liabilities Of $500, 1874.
Most Of these failures were of smaller
business concerns.
To offset these, about go new firms and
business houses of all classes have been
established during the year. These in
clude several large financial institutions
which have begun business in Washing
ton during the past twelve months.
The Continental Trust Company. Nathan
B. Scott. president. was organized with a
capital Of 100000 and a paid-up sur
plus of 100000. The Fidelity Savings
Company was organized with Henry P.
Blair president. The North Capitol Saw
ings Bank was organized with Daniel d.
Mulcahy as president. The Seventh Street
Savings Bank was organized with Somer-
set r. Waters president The Washing
ton and Southern Bank was organized
with J. Selwyn TAFT president. In addi-
ton. the First National Fire Insurance
Company was organized during the year,
and the Commercial Fire Insurance Com
pany decided to increase its capital from
100000 to nearly a million dollars.
