He's big and strong and good looking. Sam came of his own accord to Probate Judge Webster and asked to be sent to the reform school at Lansing. "I think a year down there would make me a good boy," said Sam, "and I want to learn." "Look here, Sam," said the judge, "You go back home and try to make good-and I'm betting that you'll succeed," Sam will report to the Judge regularly as to how things are faring.
