Vll 



vided somebody does not sit down on 

 it first. 



Even Rana Gerump knows that 

 greater and more extended effort 

 should be made to get rid of flies than 

 of mosquitoes, and shall a frog be 

 wiser than mankind? 



STAMFORD 



A Cat Assists a Lame Chicken. 



Here is a remarkable observation 

 vouched for by Air. James J. Horan 

 and his daughter, Airs. Weed. A few 

 months ago a young kitten was dis- 

 covered in the chicken coup. No one 

 knows how the kitten got there, but 

 evidence in the matter suggests that 

 the kitten did not idly crawl into the 

 coop, but desired the chickens' com- 

 pany. This seems to be the explana- 

 tion, because developments show that 

 the kitten has an affection for chickens, 

 and not the mere gustatory liking that 

 most cats have. As the kitten became 

 older it stayed with the chickens in the 

 nests, and here is the surprising part 

 of the observation. Among the chick- 

 ens was a lame one, apparently with 

 either a broken leg or with rheumatism 

 in the joint. The leg was almost use- 

 less, and the bird when sitting on the 

 ground had great difficulty in getting 

 up. But the kitten would go to the 

 chicken, put her nose under the wing 

 on the side of the lame leg and literallv 

 lift the fowl to its feet, assisting it to 

 stand on the one good leg until it ob- 

 tained its balance and could hop away. 

 Nearly every time the chicken stopped 

 and sat down, the cat would repeat 

 this remarkable oerformance. 



I know of but one observation 

 similar to this, and that is vouched for 

 by trustworthy observers at a stable in 

 a little town in Pennsylvania. A cat 

 that had become infirm through age, 

 had for a companion a dog that evet-y 

 morning and every night took that cat 

 in his mouth and carried her to the 

 house to be fed and then carried her 

 back in the same manner to a resting 

 place on the hay. While Air. Horan's 

 observation is remarkable and note- 

 worthy, it is not without parallel. 



Yesterday is an achievement, today is an 

 opportunity, tomorrow may be a victory! 



Happiness is contagious; share your own 

 with whomever you chance to meet.
