Making Of Mistakes.

Big men make big mistakes. Lit
tie men could not make big mistakes
If they tried; they haven't the ca
pacity. The fellow Of strong PERSONAL
ity, the man who grabs at an oppor-
tunity with all his might, and goes
straight toward its accomplishment
hurriedly, Is more likely to make big
mistakes than the weakened of the
world who are timid and afraid. But
the mistakes do not amount to so
much with him-that is the point. The
little fellow who makes mistake Is
lost. But the big fellow Is only en-
couraged by making mistake, and
often is able to drag success over his
errors as giant might drag bull
through the underbrush. The little
fellow is not to be blamed. but the
big fellow Is to be admired.
