Cowboys on the plains have no re-
spect for a leader who cannot ride,
lasso, cook or do any other stunt their
life demands better than the men in
his charge. Why is General Wood so
highly regarded except he is a mas
ter of his profession The store leader
must be more proficient and a master
of details. He must be in a sense a
good coffee rooster, tea expert, per
feet judge of canned foods, know what
constitutes quality in butter, cheese,
eggs. He must know service, have a
comprehensive knowledge of human
nature and be able to handle cranks as
we'll as cultured and experienced
housekeepers. If he can't know this
personally he must know enough to
be able to select, employ, direct those
who can fill the bill.

department officials welcomed them
in the name of the government, at the
capital of the United States, for what
is admitted the most vital conference
in American history
The commission was received with
the utmost simplicity and cordiality
and with every recognition of the fact
that Great Britain had given of her
very best. 1t is said, indeed, that no
foreign minister has left England for
the length of time that Mr.. Balfour
will be away since the congress of
Vienna, century ago.
