The SIMPLE LIFE
OF A COMMONER
Continued from page n.

however, get away and in due
time reached home, but alas, too
late 10 see my father who had been
/ buried two days before.
The few days at home were soon
expended among friends and rela-
tives and once more my eyes were
turned southwark. A little incident
occurred on the train near Louisville
which never fails to give me pleas
ure whenever i recall it, and at the
same time admonishes me of the
folly of plotting from memory the
past events in our lives or of brush-
ing them aside as things of little
consequence in the more engrossing
matters of the present. The things
that we may have said or done in
all the years of the past are not
alone the heritage we leave to our
| families and to general posterity,
they should also be ever present,
abiding incentives to the joyful per-
! Torrance of daily good, for we can
neither call to mind the pleasant
things strewn along life's pathway or
live over again the happier moments
ef years long gone by without being
the taller and richer for the expert
ence.
When the train pulled out of
Louisville every seat was occupied
and even the aisles were filled with
passengers who were unable to OBJ
tain seats. There was an immense
amount of going to and fro in the
border states during the war, and
the carrying capacity of the railroads
in these sections were wholly in
adequate to meet the demands made
upon them. l had fortunately OBJ
tanned a seat sometime before the
train left the Louisville depot, so l
felt entirely comfortable, but at the
first station after leaving the city
several persons boarded the train, all
men, comparatively few women ira
Iveled much in the South at that
time for obvious reasons Among
the new Corners was a feeble old
imam, shardly able to make his way
in the crowd Without seconds
thought l arose and invited the old
gentleman to take my seat. At first,
noticing my uniform, he declined,
but upon being pressed he thanked
me and took the seat, while I stood
in the aisle, thinking no more about
it. Almost Immediately, however, a
gentleman who was standing near
the front of the car. and had wit
messed the incident, came to me and
to my surprise, extended his hand in
a friendly way and said: Captain,
! saw you rise and give you'ah seat
to that po' old man, ! want to
thank 20, sub. If all the Yankee
officers were like you. this wah
would soon be ovah, suh." OF course
blushed and thanked. the gentle
man for his courtesy, at the same
time, gently insisting that Yankee
officers should not be thought of as,
strangers to acts of common human
ity or to ordinary politeness. My
friend soon left the train and as far
as ! know | have never seen him
from that day to this. Close cen,
nections were made for the South at
Nashville, and at Pulaski i rejoinedI
my company and received warm
welcome from the boys.

WE BUY wool,
Bring your clip to us and get full
market value and accurate weights.
OUR TWO MET0HDS

Last year we handled wool for
our customers on lie per pound COM
mission,s securing from $3.50 to
$500 more per 100 pounds, than
they could get elsewhere. We are
going to continue this plan this year.
The reasons we can afford to
handle wool on 1c commission are
these: We have no money invested
and no grading to do as each lot is
sold separately at the top of the
market for that grade.
We have advertised in the farm
papers; have received shipments
from all over the. northwest and are
known as large handlers of wool.
There is no question but what we
can get you more money than you
can get elsewhere.
Every man we ship wool for is
more than satisfied.
Call and let us show you what we
are getting back in net cash for our
customers, after paying freight and
our 1c commission. It will surprise
you.
If you don't care. to wait week
for returns, or for any other reason
you prefer it
We will Buy for Cash
paying you highest market price.

New York, n. T.. Nov. 2.-The cas-

count caused the stock market to wa
yer for a time after the opening to-
day, but before trading had been long
under way the movement became defi-
nitely upward The demand was
steady and well diversified, although
the buying was hardly as active as
yesterday, owing to the fact that the
most pressing requirements for COW

til Union Pacific had been marked to
1853, Lehigh valley to III, Reading to

ARBITRATION IDEA
SAYS 1t Would Be Wicked to
Arbitrate Vital
Disputes

New York, n. Y, Nov. Theodore
Roosevelt has an article on 'Arbitra-
ton, pretense and reality" IN the cur
rent number OF The Outlook After
referring to the situation in China and
TripOn the writer says;
1T would be not merely foolish. but
wicked for US as a nation to agree to
arbitrate any dispute that affects our
vital interest or our independence or
our honor; because such an agreement
would amount on our part to q COW
enant to abandon our duty, to an agree
ment TO surrender the rights OF Amer
lean people about unknown matters at
unknown times in the future.
such an agreement would be Wicked
II kept, and yet, to break it-as ir
undoubtedly would be broken IL the &C
casiOn arOse-would be only less
shameful than keeping 1t. A self-ex-
ecuting arbitration treaty Of such a
kind cannot be devised simply because
no such treaty that can be devised can
execute itself or ought to be exec
uted by 8 nation IN time Of strife"
