it is always ourselves we rob, not time.
Maybe you can waste your own time
by being late in keyplug engagements
and feel that the loss, if any, is your
own affair. But it is also the affair of
the man you keep waiting. You waste
his time,too. If your time is worth-

In many cases it may not matter

ODIUM ATTACHED TO CARD
Numerous Explanations as to Why the
Nine of Diamonds Is Called the
Curse of Scotland.
While the nine spot of spades- is
looked upon as a fatal and vindictive
card in the trying of fortunes, it is the
nine or diamonds that bears the odium
of being jailed the curse of Scotland.
All writers agree on the card, but as
to the cause of the stigma attached
to it there is a diversity of opinion
and it is difficult to decide which of
the many theories is correct. One the-
ory is that after the Culloden strug-
gle the duke of Cumberland picked
up a nine of diamonds from the floor
and wrote on it an order for the death
of the insurgents. To clinch this ar-
gument, it is declared that the identi-
cal card is preserved at Slains castle,
Aberdeenshire. Another explanation
was that a Scotch member of parlia-
ment. a part of whose family arms was
the nine of diamonds, once voted for a
malt tax for his country. Still another
view is that diamonds represent roy-
ulty and every ninth king of Scotland
having been a tyrant and a curse fur-
nishes the key to the mystery. One
writer explains it by stating that the
last queen of Scotland taxed herub-
jects heavily to . pay for nine jewels
for her own adornment. The “last
queen of Scotland” in her own right
was poor, pretty Marie Stuart, against
whose memory has been tossed the
mud of countless, accusations by her
bitter critics,-and she • might as well
bear the nine o’ diamonds slander
along with the others.

Jie king’s Instance he was dismissed
from office. Thereupon he left the
toriess and joined the whig party,
whose chef he soon became, leading
them in their splendid opposition to
Lord North and the war which ended
in American independence. “
Fox was kept out pf office by the en-
mity of the king during 22 of the beat
years of his life (Lord Grenville final-
ly refused eform- cabinet without
him), but managed inspite of this to
fight valiantly fpr many-good meas-
ures, including Indin government re-
form, a better libel law and the abol-
ition of the slay trade. He risked
his life rising from a sick bed to speak
for the latter.
Gambling: which /His father taught
him as a child, was Fox’s besetting
sin. He lost thousands by it but when
in 1793 his friends paid his debts and

.touched a card again. |
Fox was one of the greatest orators
who ever spoke in the British- parlia-
ment. He is said to have possessed
“above all moderns that union ofrea-

The closing years of the life of John
Bunyan were peaceful, unlike in that
respect the yurs that had gone before,
but they were bsy years, devoted to
preaching, to the work of a pastor and
teacher. Of- these closing years,
Fronde, in his “Life of Bunyan,” ed-
ited by John Morley, writes, “Happy
in his work, happy in the sense that
his influence was daily extending--
spreading over his own country, and to
the far-off settlenfuts in America, he
spent his last years in his own land
of Beulah, Doubting Castle out of
sight, and the towers and minarets of
Emmanuel and growing nearer and
clearer as the iys went on.”
His end was brought about by ex-
posure when he was engaged in an act
of charity. A quarrel had broken out
in a family at Reading with which
Bunyan had some acquaintance. The
father and son Were at variadice, and
in the hope of reconciling them Bun-
yan "journeyed from Bedford to
Rending on horseback. He sueceeded,
but at the cost of his life.
Returning by London, he was over-
taken on the road by a storm of rain
and drenched to the skin. Thia
brought on a chin.' He reached the
house of a London friend, Mr. Strud-
wick, but he never left his bed after-
ward. In ten days; he was dead. The
exact date is uncertain. It was to-
wards the end of August, 1688, be-
tween two and three months before
the landing ef King William. Bun-
yan was sixty years of age. He was
buried in Mr. Strudwick’s vault in
the burying ground at Bunhiu Fields.
