THE PRICE.
If one sets one's heart on the ex
ceptional ? on riches, on fame, on
power ? the chances are he will be
disappointed. He will waste his
time seeking a short cut to these
things. There is no short cut For
anything worth having one must
pay the price, and the price is al
ways work, patience, love, self sac
rifice ? no promise to pay, but the
gold of real service.

lies have announced their conditions!
of peace, and they are more severe
than formerly olfered the Turks.
Since the Turks have made over
tures for peace the Balkans have

terms which may cause a continua
tion of the fight.
The allies announced this morning j
that they would call off the fight If
Turkey would aj?ree to secede

poll and the inlands of the Aegean
sea. Their previous terms only re
quired the giving oyer of Adrianople
and one port on the Aegean, since
the resumption of hostilities the
terms of settlement have become
more severe.
