SLAVES OF HARRouh l.ENls4ANp GENERAL
.... ....sr.t SMITH
This General who is always ready to
sacrifice himself, next went into the
Legislature, elected by the people who
thought he was saint; and will il be
believed that there are some people who
still believe he is a saint. Roars of
laughter. 1t is hard to convince some
of those deluded people that he is not a
saint still, but I don't believe It for one.
