AN ANECDOTE
A mouse being chased by a cat fell into a vat of beer. The cat sprang to the edge of the vat and called 'Aha, Mrs. Mouse, you had better have let me eat you, than drown.' 'Yes,' replied the mouse, if you will save me from this, you may eat me.' The cat went to the edge of the tank and extended his paw, and the mouse landed and ran -hastily into its hole. 'Come out,' demanded the angry cat; 'redeem your promise and let me devour you.' ' Oh, no,' said the mouse, ' when I made it I was in liquor.'
