There was once a time when war.
fare permitted OF the display OF q
good deal OF kindness between victor
and vanquished. This was what was
called the romance OF war, which fin
ally disappeared on the invention of
the modern weapons OF slaughter.
These usually kill at great distances,
AID so all chance OF c%ombatants com
ing into personal contact is, rs a rule,
prevented. When we read the ac-
counts Of old battles Of the giving
and refusing quarter, we are remind
cd OF the days when the life OF a de-
feated nan was supposed to be for
feited to his conqueror. The aquar-
ter was the lodging OF the victor, and
thus when he gave quarter it was
meant that his captive was to be con-
veyed to his quarter, there to DO de-
tanned until set free or given up for a
reward or kept in slavery. 1t is clear
then that to refuse quarter, which
was sometimes decided to be done on
both sides, indicated such a state OF
horrible hate and fury between the
conflicting parties that neither life
was to be spared nor prisoner taken.
Men ceased to be men and became
worse than brutes.

Many ranchers IN thus country can
remember the time when manufac-
turers Of various kinds OF imiepments
were struggling to get their riding
breaking and sod plows and riding
c~ultiyators in the hands Of the farm
ers. Thousands % dollars were
spent, thousands Of the best statesmen
were employed to go to each farmer
and make u personal effort to try md
induce him to accept a pillow or cult
vator on wheels and pay for the same
when they were satisfied it wunld do
good work and tighten the burden Of
their horses. Go where you will In
the greaI corn growing districts in the
western and middle western states
and you will find that the farmer
rides when he sows his wheat, rides
when he reapes his grain when ripe,
rides when he plows his ground for
corn and rides when he cultivates his
corn. Why all this comfort? The
adding OF the wheel to these ma
chimes named removed go much tric
ton that the farmer could add his own
weight and then be vastly lighter for
his team than the old way OF the dead
drag. You can SEQ at a glance INTEL
ligent farmer, the adding OF the
wheels removed much OF the fric-
ton.
This is only John the Baptist as
f%orerunner for what is in store for the

In the Good Old Days n Man Had
Several.
In $he life of n modern business COM
munity n man must beware of too much
wisdom, says the Chau !nuquan. The
specialist is the man who succeeds and
having one set his hand to an occupa-
ton one dare never leave it under pen
atty of failure in what he has chosen as
his life work. In the west all this was
different. Versatility was n necessity.
The successful man must know how to
do many things. The ~gleanings of any
one field of activity were too small to
afford n living of themselves. This fact
was accepted by the citizens of the
country, sometimes with q grim humor
which marked the west.
y young lawyer in n western town
had out n sign which read: "John
Jones, attorney-at-lnw. Real estate and
Insurance. Collections promptly attend
ed to ut oil hours of the dry or night.
Good Ohio cider for sale at five cents a
glass" y storekeeper had on his win
dow the legend: wall paper and mar
ringe licenses" thus announcing two
commodities for which there was =
very small demand. One Of the prom
inent citizens Of such q town was a
gambler, n farmer, a fighter and .
school teacher all in one. There seemed
to the minds Of the inhabitants of the
country nothing incongruous in this
mixing up Of occupations, it being
tnken for granted hat a man would
endeavor to make n living in the ways
for which he seemed best fitted.
