derstand the highest appreciation of a
good thing is sacrifice for it-as in

tain good wife had reminded her hus-
band that he needed a new hat, but he
had delayed because the pocketbook

way-there goes my hat. His c0unte-
nance has been as bright and smiling
ever since as if he had gotten instead,
one of Walls best beavers.
