Show I Uncle Walt iCTT.T.rwrt TIMB. Oh. it sort o' Mnu to ma. aa t ' ' eternity, and consider how much work I have in view, that the btrveet earthly crime la this thin of kJllina; time, which ao many Mle fellows seem to do. ; t em evymor In haete; I have not an hour to waste; I've a mill km thing to do before I dte; ami the minutes as they flee are as precious unto me as he dla-mnfKU' dla-mnfKU' the! an entrees wants to buy. Now he com, with nerve sublime, some tired bore who's kfiMna; time, and he haa : a (lint ol stoiiee h would tell; by my writing desk he stops, and he rurgle and he yawps, till I take an ax and kill htm. with a yHl. People partial to this crime of. annihilating time might be pardoned par-doned If they'd only kill their own; but they murder yours and mine kill our moment as they shine, butcher minutes which are rightly ours alone. Which la why I say In rhvme that the men whe kill our time should he banished to an Island In the sea. where, among the leafy bow'rs. they can kill a string of hours and not have a chance to bother you and me.
