Bhakspeara, the bible, and newipepers. . I
like Dr. Htrsch'a uggetlon." When I read

said he read all thf law, went eraay. and
complied hi book,-"Th Science ef Plead
ing.' Then I read Blackstone- and - then
Chltty, etc.. for one year. The plan was to
build up a legal mind. ' ;
So, In literature. I advise the reading of
Bhakspeare and the bible.- Keep one or the
other In your pistol pocket. It la a weapon
that soma day may project yourself furtner
than a Jap electrical gun.
Let me conclude with a few lines quoted
from Emeraom
" There 1 no end to th aufflclency of char

what la called aucceaa; It cannot but aucceed.
