ed the commitment. $50 you

Blake. "Well, we'll accommo-

in the prisoner went. Then the
Sheriff nearly paralyzed him by
saying, "You know all Jail pris-
oners have to be vaccinated." !"
''You will have to tie me-" said
the prisoner. He will, therefore,
be vaccinated after all. Some OF
the holiness people" expect
the Jail doors to miraculously
open or the walls to crack, so
