SOLDIERS AND PEACEMAKERS.
Human experience, repeated over the centuries,
indicate that men who make war successfully arc
not those best qualified to make peace. A cursory
survey of history in all that is needed to sustain
this statement. In the beginning tribes went to war
for any one of a number of causes, but, whatever
the reason, the result was the same. The victor an
nihilated the vanquished. To exterminate or ensluve
neighbor, to devastate his cities, raze his strong
holds, desecrate- his temples, overturn his gods, anni
hilation being the penalty of defeat. It was the
boast of Attila that the grass never grew again
where his horse's hoofs had passed.
Good reason exists for the conviction that good
soldiers are seldom well qualified to negotiate a
lasting peace. They think in terms of war; arms
and victory are their lives, and terms to the van
quished, however generous and liberal, are the gifts
of the victor rather than the rights of the-loser.
Thus treaties of peace, conventions entered Into
where conqueror dictates to conquered, usually con
tain the germs of the next war, for any agreement
Into which compulsion enters as a factor will be
sustained only until the weaker side feels itself
strong enough to resist imposition.
One great exception to this rule stands out clear
and sharp against the background of history. Ulysses
g. Grant sought peace. He knew it could come only
out of victory, but when he had broken the power
of his adversary till he could no longer resist, the
magnanimous hand of a great soldier was out
stretched, and he said: "Let us have peace!" It
was not a defeated army Grant sent home from
Appomatox, but a group of brothers who had come
off second best in a trial of strength, and who had
not been deprived of any of their dignity or rights
because they did not win.
Clemyiceau, Tiger of France, undoubtedly de
ires peace, permanent and durable in all regards;
but he is far more effective at carrying on a war
than he is at settling for harmony after a war. He
does not differ greatly from many another great
man in history, for the warrior is almost never a
diplomat. lie supports his .arguments not with
reason or persuasion, but with might, and right
cannot rest on might. This man is a type; his spirit
animates a great people, but only when it is sub
servient to the greater spirit, that of justice, will it
bring that people to true greatness.
When the soldier dominates the field, and a set
tlement to end the conflict is to begin, then the
Statesman should come in; not the merely adroit
shuffler of phrases, seeking only the better of an
Immediate bargain, but the broad-minded construc
tive man, whoso vision comprehends a world wherein
relations between nations rest on the substantial
basis of the square deal, and not on an advantage
that is present, but may shift to the other side at a
slight motion of the wheel.
THE BOY'S ROOM.
You realize at once when you enter it that it
belongs to The Boy, for there is none of the ex
quisite daintiness about it that characterizes his
sister's room. His football is on the bookcase, his
tennis racket on the chiffonier, and his roller skates
under the reading table.
The bugle of his scout patrol seems strangely
silent as it lies among his books, for you have a
vivid recollection of the ear-splitting notes that often
issue from its throat. The pictures, too, speak elo
quently of him; a camping scene, a beautiful copy
of a collie, and his particular favorite, "The Lone
Wolf," from tho frame of which flutters the blue
ribbon which he won at the poultry show.
And the dresser! No one, unless they have a boy
in the house, would guess how often you arrange
that article of furniture. The top is littered with
small change, some bolts and screws, worthless to
anyone else, and a partly empty box of cartridges
loft from his latest hunting expedition. The half
open, drawers reveal a marvelous collection of bits
of string and wire, anil several burned out batteries
from his flashlight. Your discarded handbag is full
of marbles and the springs from an alarm clock
that he has bten trying to repair.
A book on mechanic and a rouh drawing of n
bridge across a rivr tell of The Hoy's dreams of
the day when hi' will be numbered among tho world'
builder. And in the midst of all this confusion U
a little bent anil scratched snapshot of hi sifter,
who is also hi chum. '
As you torn to straighten up hi featured be
longing ou whisper to yourself, "Oh. busy, mis
chievous Bay, when you enter thnt Urger room of
Hit may your ril hand build beneficially for
your fellow-men, my your joy and f'saaui bring

pany. Another might be any one of the numerous
rpots on which Noah Newbank parked hi bull tcms.
One marker might recite that "Hero stood Colonel
Fred Evans, when he held his memorable convert
tlon with tho Sioux squaw." It would not be inap
propriate to designate tht camping- ground of "I'm-
afore" Smith, or where "Bill" McManus Inspanned
hi "bulls."
These are just suggestion". Many other might
be added. The ground around both Tierro and
Fort Pierre is historic In many senses, and all tho
event of a day that has gone should be conimcmo
lated by such designation as will perpetuate the rc
mcmbrance of a race of real men.

VIKINCS AND THEIR VINLAND.
Recently there ha been considerable revival of
interest in what is generally referred to as "pre-
Columbian voyages to America." Doubt has been
cast on the saga of Eric the Red and Lief tho Lucky,
question being raised as to whether either of these
or any of their kind ever saw tha hor of what
now Is called America. On tha contrary, much of
what is put forward as proof of their presence I
being presented.
Archaeology is a progrcHxive science, and it has
faithful allies in geology, zoology, anthropology and
ethnography. In each of these great discoverie
have been made of recent years, the result of re
search and study, and many conclusions of the past
have been revised, modified or abandoned in view
of more light. A to the claims of tha Norsemen
for recognition as to precedence over Columbus or
his immediate imitators to being tha first among
European to reach the shore of what wa to be
come the New World, much evidence i being un
earthed. One of tho most dependable bit Is tho
existence near the town of Hampton, on tha Massa
chusetts coast, of a granite boulder, marked with
three crosses. This is reputed to mark the site of
tho fight between the vikings and tha red men
("Skreelings," they are called in the aga), which
terminated the effort to colonize Vlnland.
That the Norsemen did reach Iceland and Green
land is admitted; that so bold a crew should not
come to Labrador is improbable, and it 1 qulto easy
to believe that they mad their way farther south,
to the shore of New England. One legend ha a
viking making his way a far south a Texas, and
returning after years of wandering to the farm of
Greenland. The sad aspect of tho cast for the viking
1 that he did not possess the enterprise to follow
up his find. Otherwise, he might have won a far
more worthy place in history than 1 represented
by the crumbling walls in Greenland and the cross
marked tone at Hampton.
IN THE WAKE OP THE OLD INDIAN TRAIL.
Alono- tha hisrhwav between what wa formerly
the Sioux and Pawnee Indian reservations are large
tracts of alfalfa, fields of rustling corn, and gulches
securely fenced. Here, prize winning horses and
high grade cattle graze, among the clumps of na
ivo ash. nines and scrub oak. from the short blue
grass which has replaced the prairie grass of long
ago. In the distance is a group of buildings, pro
tected by groves of forest trees and orchards whosa
trees are laden with fruit. This represents the
modern home of one of Nebraska's early pioneers,
who came before "grasshopper" times and won out.
As he nears the sunset of life, tje thoughts oi
this hardy conqueror revert more and more to an
other icene. when all was a wilderness. The high-
powered motor of the tourist i a dilapidated,
weather beaten prairie schooner jotting along the
rmio-h trail with the slow oace of the tired oxen.
In place of the fields is a vast expanse of rolling
prairie verging into a dry wash.. The humble home
a nod shantv and stable, of the same material;
the little black patch of exposed soil proving tho
resourcefulness of these stouthearted homeseeKers.
There is no well, for water is obtained from, water
loles with which to supply the needs of the one
cow, the oxen, and even the family. Near sunset
th Graceful form of a deer moves along the hori
zon; while the mournful howl of a lonely coyote
is heard with the approach oi darkness, to De re
peated and answered at intervals throughout the
ight. With the approach of dawn, these sounds
re replaced by the booming and cackling of the
rairio chickens as they arose from sleep.
As he recalls the nast. the white-haired hero of
the nnirie fonreta the hardships, for with these
scenes are intermingled the joys of the conquercr
in subduing the wilds. This is what lightens the
burden of fHe homesteader.
NOW WATCH IOWA FLOURISH.
Iowa's sons and daughters are chanting a hymn
about "where the tall corn grows," forgetful of
that majestic and tuneful lyric penned years ago by
Freeman P. Conway, one stanza of which rang:
"AnO she lia maids whow laughing eyra
Would niitke a lover' paradise.
Iowa, my Iowa."
Mifs Winnifred Tilden, director of women' ath
letics at the Iowa State college, astonishes the world
by announcing that she has discovered a number of
physical defects and deficiencies among the girls
under her care. Some of these are due, she says,
to faulty carriage, some to improper development,
and some to under-nourithmt-nt. All the thing
will be remedied by a compulsory two-years' couse
in physical training.

see before him the drab, plnchy ex

And, as he is about to lip into this,
he meets a friend, Ccrald Mare ton,
on of a wealthy manufacturer of

he elder Marston with his skill at

pout as foreign representative of tho

brilliant success.
There is a girl, April Curtis, with
whom ho has grown up, tlie Curtlses
and AVhatley being close friends and
marriage between Roland and April
being taken for granted.
About his feelings for April Roland
Is often In doubt. April Is the sweet,
gentle, clinging typo of girl. Her
whole life Is bound up in Roland. She
blushes even at pronouncing the word
kiss." After the Dolly affair he
goes to see April.
Oently he drew her by the hand
toward him and she made no effort
to resist him. "April," he mur
mured, "April." It was the first
real kiss ot his life. His mouth did
not meet hers as it had Dolly's In
a hungry fierceness: he did not not
hold her in his arms as he had held
Dolly, did not press her to him till
she was forced, a Dolly had been,

AROUND NEBRASKA
THE HOME DAYS.
When tha goldenrod has withered,
And th maple leave sra red;
When tha robin's net I la empty,
And trie crlrK.l t prayers are aalJ.
In the alienee and tha shadow
Of the awltlly Imiltnlni full
Come tha deer and happy hoint daj
X)3y we love th beet of all,
Then th hou.ehnld gather, early,
And the firelight leups and alowt
Till tha old hearth, tn Ita brlshtpe.i,
Weart the glory or th rote;
Then tha grand. Ire thinks ot etnrlef
And the children counter tweet,
And the floor la Just a keyboard
rot the bauya pattering feet.
Oh, th dear fae of the mnlher,
Aa the tuika the bablea in;
Oh. tha big vulca of tha father.
Heard o'er all the merry uln;
Home, and happy homely loved one.,
How they weave their epulis around
II eurt and llf and creed. nnd memory,
In tha lannalead a holy ground!
When tha goldenrod ha faded.
When th maple leavea aro red;
When tha empty neat la clinging
To the branches overhead;
In th ellenre anil th ahadow
Of tha hunylnc later fall,
Coma the dear daya, com th home days,
la th year th beat uf all.

Item dltnr argue that thi great
display of th iuneet color has a very
bad psychological effwt on th mind

into a tat of quletud by th ropsat
el flat of red and the effectiveness
of tho .danger signal lost. Ther I
