more than any other cat in tho world.
When he was kitten he was taught
many things--to jump over stick ut
the word Of command, to lie on his
back with his four paws sticking up
when told he was dead. TO shake
hands and to chase his tail. So ac-
complishcd was he that he was always
being put through his tricks to en-
tertain people.
This went on for long time. Ono
day, however, William ate too much
and was very sick. When somebody
came to order him to do his tricks he
could only lie on his side and cry
pitcously.
So they did not make him perform.
That taught him something, and
whenever he got the notion that he
was going to be called upon, over he
went on his side, his fur turned the
wrong way. and he meowcd like a
dying cat,
They soon found out that hc was
malingering, but his cleverness so
impressed his mistress that she
would not permit him to be disci-
plined. and William has enjoyed u
holiday from that day to this.
