Delilah at once got busy, put Samson
to sleep, hired a dumb barber who
could work without waking him up,
n phoned ali the lords to come in
at accrtain time, bringing the cash
or certified check.
Poor Samson awoke as clean shaven
as a convict, made a grab at the up
right piano, to play upon the feelings
of the Philistines, as was his won't, but
he could not bulge it, and his enc
mics gathered around, put out his eyes
and set him to grinding corn for his
board and no clothes. Delilah took
the money in silver dimes and ruined
her teeth biting each piece to see that
they were all genuine INC not plug
ged.
Now there was great rejoicing
among the Philistines, and they gave
n roof party, involving 5000 people.
and had Samson brought out in the
lower court to make sport for them.
That was a great mistage, for Sam
sons hair had grown again, and, after
making a little sport, he crept under
the house, found the two supporting
pillars n brought the whole thing

tail the two finally got under way in
a dash for the tall timber. But Absa-
Ions long, thick hair was standing on
end for some reason or other. and.
although he ducked to go under an
oak tree, the hair became entangled
in its branches.
Absalom reasoned with tine mule,
saying: 'Whoa!" Back up" "Drat
you long ears!" but the animal, re-
Yelling in the novelty of motion, saun-

suspense, and there he hung until his
enemies came along and put an end
to him without any danger to them
selves. This incident rather skaters

Authors would throw away their

them:

The first thing a young doctor does
on escaping from college is to grow a
formidable Van Dyke beard over his
boyish features. This disguise gives
him such a professionally experienced
