pad stuffed with straw in front of

waded the creeks and sloughs on his
way TO Springfield. The little lad was
In his fourth year that summer. He
slept and talked much on the way and
kept Samson busy with queries about
the sky and the creeks and the great
fiowery meadows.
They camped the first night In a
belt OF timber and Samson writes that
the boy "slept snug against me with
his head on my arm lie went to sleep
crying for his mother" He adds;
1T reminded me Of the old days of
my young fatherhood. Mr.. Nimble'
wanted to pick al the flowers and
splash his bare feet In every stream.

felt her grace and charm and spoke
OF II with enthusiasm. But To him
and to her there seemed To be an I'M
passable gulf between them. She
changed her mind about that, how
ever, when she heard him speak and
felt the power Of his personality and
saw his face lighted by the candle of
his spirit. II was handsome face

Hardship and malarial poison had

And then I started The Fool~Killer,

the old press from getting rusty.
From the seclusion Of these wooded
hills there will go forth each month
a bundle of literary dynamite that
will shake the rotten foundations OF
society and cause the church Of
Mammon to at least turn over in its
sleep.
The Fool-Killer is monthly mus
tard plaster for the blood boils OF
Society, Church and State.
It is written with red.h poker
dipped in razor-sOup.
It rides the devil a. straddle without
a saddle, and spurs him at every lope.

humOr, and seasoned with sarcasm.

every word raises a blister.
