114. Harmony and Discord, (in two parts), Wm. J. Critchley, - - -$25.00 
These two groups go to show that there are mischievous, practical jokers in the cat family as 
well as in our own. Upon a bench, on the sunny side of a house, lie three kittens. Underneath 
the bench lies tabby, with eyes half shut, dreaming of mice, but little dreaming of the horrid 
spider which is slowly descending at the end of a string managed by a mischievous black kitten 
at an upper window. The spider descending suddenly at Tabby’s nose causes her to elevate her 
back so suddenly ’and high that one end of the bench is lifted up bodily, and the kittens are 
tumbled into a pail of water which is standing at the other end.
