Every young man who earns
wages ought to buy a lot and
make a start for home. The way
10 get a start Is TO save little
money each month and make a
payment on your purchase, and so
little by little, pay for your lot aud
build your hOOse. Don't spend all
your money on livery turn outs and
dances and ice cream to please your
best girl. After a while you will
need a home for that best girl and
the youngsters that some way or
other generally come around and
want to "put up" with you. Put a

their captoIs about tie beginning of April,
have just arrived here. They report that
Enin Bey was in q situation of great diff

ceived a summons from the Mahdi, dated
at Kbartoum, to surrender and 10 disband

tack If Enin refused. Emin also received
Il letter purporting to be from Lupton Bey,
urging him TO surrender as the only means
10 avert the massacre of the Europeans at
khartoum and Wadelia Edemin, an out
post, and confirmed the report of the
Mahdi stating that scouts on armed vessels
had appeared at the confluence of the Nile

Emin considered the Lupton letter a for

Mahdi, compensasing for the lack of pro-
visions by the rspidity of the attacks.
