“I’m sorry” said McNoil "Honest

Samson released his prisoner A
number In the crowd which had gath-

and shouted “Hurrah for the

A constable took Samson’s hand
and said : "You deserve a vote of
thanks That limn and his friends
have made me more trouble than all

“And I am making trouble for my- '

It will never happen again”
“Where do you live?” the officer
asked
"In New Salem”
“I wish It was here We need men
