An Arkansas Boy.
Arkansas Traveller.
“Pa,” said the Rev. Mulkittle’s son,
“Samson was a strong man, wasn’t
he?”
“Yes Samson was the strongest man
that ever lived.”
“Tell me about him.”
“It was intended that Samson
should be the strongest man, and be
fore he was born—”
The bewildered expression on the
child’s face arrested the minister in his
narration.
“Before he was born?” asked the
boy.
“Yes; before—that i*, before he was
found in a hollow stum—”
“Just like little sister.”
“Yes; just before he was found an
angel appeared and foretold of his
strength, saying that no razor must
touch hia head.”
“Was the angel afraid that the razor
would cut him?”
“No; the angel meant his strength
lay in his hair, and that his hair must
not be cut off.
, “It I let my hair grow long, can I
lift more than I can now?”
“I don’t know about that.”
“Are women stronger than men?”
"No.”
“But they’ve got longer hair.”
“Yes; they have longer hair.”
“A woman couldn’t whip you could
she!”
“No; not easily.”
“Was Samson a democrat?”
“I don’t know.”
“But why don’t you know? I’d know
if I was as old as you. How many men
was it that Samson killed?”
“One thousand.”
“He was bad, wasn’t he?”
“No.”
“But when a man kills anybody he’s
bad.”
“The Lord was with Samson.”
“But the Lord says you musn’t kill
anybody. Did Samson go to heaven?”
“I suppose so.”
“He is the strongest angel there, ain’t
he?”
“You are getting foolish again.”
“But I want to know. Will yon
know Samson when you go to heaven?”
“I suppose so.”
“But you won’t fool around him,
will you? If he wuster hit you he’d
break your wings, wouldn’t he?”
“Go to your mother. The next time
you attempt to question me about the
Bible I shall whip you.”
