Z rather reckless phrase sometimes accuses
forward children OF being too smart TO
live" Our Dumb Animals relates story Of
a humane housekeeper who concluded that
her pet cat was too smart TO die.
There were three cats In William street
family in Norwich, Conn, and as the lady Of
the house concluded that one was sufficient,
an edict Of death was passed on the old cat
and her kitten The question OF the manner
of death was settled and chloroform pur-
chased
Some days passed before the e1ecutioneI
sould muster courage to execute the sentence,
and finally the lady put some iaudanum into
the cats milk, thinking to produce stupos
that would make the chIoroforming more
EASY.
The old cat tasted the plilk, cast her eyes
suspiciously about her, and refused TO eat.
The kitten rushed 70 the dish, but was VIC
Iently knocked away by the old cat, who took
e corner of mat and covered over the dish
70 hide it from the kitten and prevent ber
from taking the medicine.
The lady could not believe it possible that
the act was Intentional, and uncovered the
dish. The cat again knocked the kitten from
it, AID covered it more carefully thai before.
The repetition of the protective act was to"
much for the lady, aad the cat SID her two
kittens were allowed to live.
