How SaM was Cai-ght An old lady who
ws making some jam was called upon by
a neighbor. , "Sam, yon rascal, ehe said,
"you'll be earing my jtm when I'm away.''
Sam protested he'd die first ; bot the whites
of his eyes rolled hnngrily inwards the
bubbling crimson. "See her. Sam," said
the bid lauy, laking ep i place of chalk.
"I'll chalk venr lips,' and ihen on my return
I'll know if you've eaten any." So fraying,
she passed her forefinger over the thick lip
ofherdarkey, holding the chalk in the
palm ef her hand, and not letting it touch
him. When she came back, she did not
need to ak arty questions, for Sim's lips
were chalked a quarter of an inch thick.
