10 expose the corruptness OF the Fallites.
Slccptown were placed at their disposal
| And there sat upon this counsel, Daniel.
aon of Kinnon, and Thomas, son OF
| Flanagan. and Edward, son of Lott.
And forthwith these three wise men sat

pearcd in their midst three wise men
from the far off land Illinois, who came
at the bidding Of their great father,
Pinkcr, son OF Kcnton, and were named
respectively, Amos, Amazla and

| Aud thus spake Daniel, son Of kinnon,
10 Amos and his fellows. The Fallitcs
have conspircd against us and we are
east down and need assistance. For so
Ia the halls of the tabernacle OF Iro-on
aud shall be lei away captive. And
they shall continue to reign in this land
OF lro-on while we shall do menial
service. Now, therefore, Amos, we
implorc thee To help us. We ask that
thou shalt go to the country of the
| Fnllites aud there stand witness To the
corruptnesa Of the people We ask TINT
thou shalt enter into their intrigucs that
you may become wise thcrcirom and
impart thy knowledge TO us; that YOU
cat oi their bread and drink OF their
wine, and that YOU shall worm thyself
into their secrets and make record of
them that may convey them hithcr and
| a ...l
shall make OF them fools for we shall
have them brought before the magistrate
and have them punished most horrible.
And Amos spoke and said. Concern
thysclf not Daniel for we shall go TO
these people and shall take them by ways
they know not and lead them by paths
they know not, hence, We shall make
darkness light before you and crooked
things straight These things we shall
do unto them aud iorsake you not.

there. Aud they drank and felt refresh
ed. And the wise men poured into the
pockets OF Amos and his kinsmen the
treasures oi their cxchequer amounting
in all TO iSS shccklcs OF silver or lGl

visited the house of one Daniel. son of
Banncr-man, who kept plenty OF VIM

son of Eldrcd, who was wise in the
knowledge of squnro worries. And
William shook the worries and taught

when Amos had his lill of the worries he
called upon the wise men Of the land OF
the Fallitcs, among whom was Solomon,
son OF lIolly-stir, and David, son oi
| Lockwood, John, son of Parks, and
mnny others OF the chief men OF the
Fallitcs And Amos said to one, 1--WE
