find very useful 1 like this place
very much as it helps to build up a
man. We have some very nice Off
GERS but of course they are strict
which is necessary to make a good
army. The Y. M. G.. A. are doing a
great work here in camp where they
have a building. This afternoon they
are having a minstrel show made up
of boys from the different batteries.
The Y. M. C. A. building in my camp
where [ am writing will seat nearly
1000 people.
We have lot of visitors on Sat-
urdays and Sundays.
Some Sundays it is estimated we
have 100000 persons visiting here.
We have football and baseball games
don't get lonesome. Well I will close
hoping this will find you as it leaves
me, well and happy.

Friend Rev. Kelley:
l received the scarf and socks
whoch the Red Cross sent me and I
thank them very much for them. We
will be stationed here all winter I
think, and the things you sent will be
warm. It seems more like home here
than it did at Aver. The days here
are pleasant but the nights are cold.
[ am feeling fine and hope all Iras-
burg people are also.
VIII have to close with many
thanks to the Red Cross,

An ANONYMOUS Book.

Two young ladies of literary tastes
were once discussing their reading,
when one of them remarked: 81 have
been engaged with a delightful work
for a week past" Indeed; what is
it," "Anthony Trollope's autobiogra-
ply" "Who is the author?" REALLY,
[ don't know. I have looked over the
title-page and through the preface, but
[ can't find any reference to the author
at all. Whoever it is is charming
writer and seems to have known the
novelist very Intimately" 9TH get it
and read it, but it is too provoking,
isn't it, that SO many delightful au-
thors of late are writing anonymous
ly?"

rheumatism and 1umbago are awful
things and cause great pain and mis-
cry, but Foley Kidney Pills can rout
them.
Mrs. G. H. Eve1and, Duncan Mills,
Ill, writes the following letter: ''I
was stricken down with lumbago and
was unable TO turn myself il bed A
neiGhbor brought me q half bottle OF
Foley Kidney Pills, and said ske had
been similarly afflicted and that they
had helped her. So I tried them and
vas completely relieved by the use CT
two Or three bottles. L have had
splendid success with them and have
never known them to fail. I most
heartily recommend FOLEY Gidney
Pills"
Foley Kidney Pills tone up weak.
inactive, sluggish kidneys, rid the
body Of poisons, give appetite, energy
and refreshing sleep after pain. Don't
neglect kidney trouble. Remove the
cause with Foley Kidney Pills.

Plato or Socrates?

IF Socrates is conceded to rank as
the greater, or more influential of the
two philosophers, it is largely because
of the devotion and ability of Plato,
his admirer and biOgrapher. Accord
ing to Plato's "Apologia," Socrates was
really the supreme man of his age,
foremost in originality and in thought.
Platos great humanity-his uncon-
sciOus prophecy of Christianity was an
exhibition of that--his application of
philosophy not simply to morals in the
abstract but to q nation, or a PERSONAL
ity, has won him great popularity in
all ages. and there are many who put
the Stagirite in the second place, and
consider Plato his exponent as the
greater, and more influential of the
two. Really, it is wise not to attempt
comparison of these great Grecians,
but to read thankfully what their wis
dom has given TO the WOrId.-Ex-
change.

CoWardice and Bravery.

To make men towards give them
continually ease with every comfort
and pleasure; to make men brave
give them continually harnesses,
hardships, hard work, with every dis
comfort and misery. AS ease and
pleasure weaken and soften the soul,
producing cOwardiness and fear, so
hardships and misery strengthen and
burden the soul, making it determined
and brave; as only pleasure makes a
man love life, only misery will make
him deteSt it.

rHY EATHER,s FRIENp.

From The Youths Companion: In
the will of the late Justice Lamar OF
the United States supreme court there
was one very unusual legacy. He be-
queathed his friendships to his fam
lily,
dueath friendships many and NUM-
erous In the hope that they viii be
cherished and continued. True friend
ships are the most valuable OF our
earthly possessions, more precious
than gold, more enduring than maFhle
palaces, more important than fame.
sas AS Henry Drummond has well
said, Friendship 10 the nearest thing
we know to what religion isl
The family that inherits such wealth
issstruly rich. But it is a legacy that
Friendships cannot be locked away In
safe or lent to historical exhibits and
museums. Like love and faith and
courage, they belong to that intangible
treasure of the soul that must be kept
from destruction by constant service.
It. 10 not alone material things that
trust doth corrupt"
How many of US have let slip
through busy or careless fingers the
our youth? We did not mean to do IT.
indeed, we have often regretted the
loss until, as the years pass, the regret
gradually fades away, And IL that 10
true of our own friends. how far more
true of our fathers friends. Yet there
have been families where friendships
have passed down from father to son
for several generations.
There 10 food for thought here. How
many fathers are building up fine and
leyal and seryiceable friendships that
they can with pride and gratitude be-
Queath to their sons? How many
mothers are storing up like treasures
for their daugitersf The question does
not end there, How many young peo-
pie Of today are fitting themselves to
receive such legacies2 How many In
all the varied and urgent calls OF life
are needing the challenge to make
themselves worthy Of friendships by
being loyal and fine tempered and gen.
erous friends themselves? a!t,
Z "a man that hath friends" the old
Book OF Wisdom declares, must show
himself friendly" and again, Thine
own friend and thy fathers friend for
sake not"
