General Booth and a Taumarunui Press reporter held the north-bound express up for about ten minutes the other morning. The General was busy dictating a message to the reporter. The General is very deaf and failed to hear the bell and the official call of “ All aboard!” and went on with his dictation .while the reporter, anxious for copy, kept his pencil going to the last moment. The officials did not want to start the train without the General being aboard, and were too mannerly to pull the General’s coat tails and order him aboard. When the distinguished visitor finished his tale he skipped aboard, and the train got under way. General Booth has a fondness for newspaper reporters. His father used to say that they were the hardest men in the world to convert. “Chance will not do the work.”—Scott. No one can afford to take chances with health.
