This calls to mind Benito, who owned

try saloon where he drank much

such 10 that missionary. BenitO would

and had broken one of the mules ribs

seemed 10 make him worse when he
did break loose The mule and the
woman and the dog felt uneasy during
one of those quiet spells, because they
knew it was merely a calm before the

To Reform a Bully
Faithfully did the missionary strive
to encompass the soul and conscience
of Benito with the doctrine. but some
way or another he could not make BE-
stick. There were some of us who
believed it was not the missionary s
fault. nor the fault OF the doctrine ne
taught, but THAT his pupil did not have
enough brains inside of his head t0
understand what was expected of him,
or, If he did understand, not enough
strength OF character to comply. ArEu-
meut is wasted on an of his Kind.
Force is the only law they know The
most effective way 10 reform q bully
is 10 use a club.
