SUPERIOR INTELLECT ONE of Sam's mules took it into his head to stop dead on the j main street of the town, and it was 1 twenty minutes before Sam could persuade the animal to move a single step. And then the other mule balked! Sam pleaded, threatened, cursed, but to no avail. The critter wouldn't budge an inch. If the mules made Sam mad, the steadily growing crowd of specta- j tors that gathered about his wagon, ' offering comments, suggestions and jibes, reduced him to the state of a j raving, gesticulating maniac. Pushing his way ahead of the re- i calcitrant mules, Sam turned, lev- I eled an accusing finger at them, and shouted, "I'll conquer you, I'll conquer con-quer you!" Sensing some doubt on the part of the spectators, Sam added, add-ed, "Don't think I can do it, eh? Well, I can, 'cause I've got more sense than both of you mules put together!"
