The man who said ‘‘squirm, old nature,’ to his stingy spirit, when forcing himself to part with his money, had an easier time of it after all than if somebody else had forced himto do it. Fancy the internal “squrming’’ of the victim ot impe- rial fun, as pictured in the following extract: ‘‘The late Emperor Nich- olas, Autocrat ofallthe Russians, the most tron-handed ot modern times,’’ it 1s said, “held one thing 1n particu- Jar aversion, viz., with avarice. ing with a great dignitary whom he had often bantered because of sting- wealth coupled He was once travel- iness. “At one of the stages the carriage had to undergosundry repairs, and the gentlemen went forward on foot.

Crouching low, she awaited developements, and stood to spring upon his ratship.

A little chick wandered too nigh and he was seized by the rat, which Was in turn pounced upon by the cat, and the cat was caught in the mouth of the dog, The rat would not cease his hold on the chicken, and the cat, was scene. in spite of the shaking she ting from the dog, did not let go the get- rat.
