India during his residence in the Pun

Mr.. Booth-T Tucker was in the British

already inclined toward the Salvation
Army. and such an inclination made

man had been drinking. He was in a
bellicose humor. and he began at once
to pick a quarrel with Mr.. Booth
Tucker. The latter said nothing to help
on the quarrel. but nevertheless the
German worked himself into frenzy.
Finally he exclaimed:
Zone or the other of us two, sir, will
not leave this room alive"
Stay here and die. then" said Mr..
Booth Tucker, and he arose and went
out quickly. slamming the door behind

Answer. You deserve to have your
letter answered. L is evident that if
you bad saved more time from cards
you might spell better. A mans time
is his largest capital. If he spends
part IN mere amusement he does not
have so much to spend in study for
his own improvement. Your minu
basket has SO many chips that you
did not save room enough for apples.
1t Carnegie had spent his time at
cards instead of study he would new
er have thought out the new process
for steel. If Edison had been dane
ing instead of studying electricity, we
should not have heard of him. If
you want your life saved from inlet
tered ignorance that cannot spell, yet
think you are good enough now you
will have to use your time for some
thing worth your While This is a
grand country. A man can stud y at
home through University Extension
courses till his et rnings for his family
are doubled. But no one amounts to
much who thinks he has no need to
improve and can afford to waste bis
time.

church to save men, TO save their

their bodies so they will net reek with
