Did it ever strike you that everything
worth having has price and must be
paid for? Do you want friendship-you
must pay for it with friendship. Do you
want love-you must love in return. Do
you want to be trusted-you must trust.
Do you wish to be honored, you must
honor. And so on.
On our first page will be found an inter-
esting letter from Lieut.. John a. Towers,
who is now stationed in California, giving

his new home. It was written to his
father, who has kindly given it to us for
publication. We know it will prove in
teresting to our readers.
A husband reading, while his wife sat
near him embroidering pair of slippers,
remarked: "What surprises there are in
statistics. A German physician afirms
and proves by figures that half of the
female sex are touched with insanity.''
"He is right" replied the wife dryly, "for
more than half the women prove it by
getting married"
