but for his principles. Mr. Steifen's
first article might therefore be called the
awakening Of a physically courageous
man into q morally courageous man.
No reader Of this first article BY MI

slammed Terry fierce WALTON in tho
mouth, and Terry got mad and cut
loose. In Il minute Chocolate was on
the mat.

Chocolate rubbed his stamach again
and yelled back:
Trow up the towel, them,
we amt got no towel" they yelled
Chocolate, almost all in from the
pain, yelled back:
