A BARGAIN.
A Jow in Ilussia was ordered twenty strokes with the knout. The whipping man was also a Jew, so the other was able to "square" the affair for 20,000 roubles. It was arranged that the one should merely crack his whip while the other screamed. This was done nineteen times, but the twentieth stroke was genuine. "Why did you do that?" cried tho victim.
"To let you realise what a bargain you have got," the other said.
