gift of gIadness and of pain,
And whether we pay for pleasure or
whether we pay for sin,
1t is always paying the price for life, no
matter where we begin.
We say we have had lot we've enjoyed
and we've shared in the BEST
We sit sometimes With a little dream OF
old content in the breast;
And then when we look away and think OF
the things that were nice
1t all comes over u.s. lucky or sad, that
we've had to pay the price:
The magnate pays it for his, as the pau
per pays it, too;
And the saint pays just as the sinner does
and the unSaved have to do;
In all that we have and hold or in al
that we've thrown away,
1t is sure in the end to come to this, thai
there was price to pay.
We pay it for love and peace, for cheer
and comfort and song;
We pay for SHINING and going astray, we
pay it for doing wrong;
In all that we are or seem,- In gladness
or grief or pain,
We are always paying the price for the
things that we lose or gain.

The great George Washington, who
could not tell lie or. better. would
not if he could, hardly suggests him
self as suitable audience for a fish

less, it is not likely that any modern
fisherman, however small his catch

soldier, who came over to fight for US in

slips We're the delight of his fellow Of

Once when dining at Dobbs Ferry
with General Washington and his staff
the conversation turned on fishing, and
the baron averred that a single expert
ence had eXtinguished all his aspira-
tions to- shine as a fisherman. He had
fshed for three blazing hours on the
glaring waters of the North river zone

100. 1t was misery, not pleasure, and
after all he had caught only two fishes.
What kind of fish were they?" in
quired General Washington.

them was whale replied Steuben.

"An eel, baron" corrected the young
officer, laughing.

1t was not the German baron, but
