Wife and Children Gone.
The letter was as follows:


Il have a wife and seven children,
and in 1910 l bought small home, the
first payment of which was made by
exchanging two lots, which l had
bought from money saved while !
served in the United States Army Now
II have lost my home, after paying
nearly one-half, being unable to meet
the payments on the notes when due.
AS the cost of living increased year by
year, our financial difficulties increased
in proportion, in spite of the strictest
economy on our part. We had to dis
continue our attendance in church be-
cause we could not afford to contribute
our share TO the minister's salary. Our
children very often remained away
from Sunday school because we did not
have the pennies TO give them, which
they wanted TO give in contribution,
and many a time they had to stay away
from the public school because their
GL-@s were worn out.
The constant strain Of the struggle
finally became too much for my wife
to stand. She became dissatisfied, left
home and children for a time: returned
home to Try again, but found it too
hard-so now we are living apart.
