around hin, eager u ses what master
hasgos. There was boy among these
dsrkies that had svincsd I stropp dis.
position to move things when they
wanted moving, or 10 other words to
pilfsr occasionally.
Nov Jack. says bio master, look
here, this ihashins b TO make people
tell the truth, and II Jou have stolen
anything, Or lied 70 me, II will knock
you down"
why, master, says the boy, I never
lied Or stole anything in my life."
Well, take hold on this" and no
sooner had the lad received a slight
knock than he fell on his knees and
bauled cut: "Oh, master! did
steal your segars and little knife,
and have lied ever 50 many times please
to forgive me-"
Tho same experiment was TIED
with like success on half dozen juve.-
niles. At last an old negroe who had
been looking on very attentively,
stepped up. ~
MASTER said be, "let Dis niger
try. Dat ar mashcen is well enuf to

The machine was then fully charged,
and he received stunning shock
lie looked first at his hand, then at

he, II 'aint best to know too much.
