An Odd Weakness of Many Of

CLEVELAND'S HAPPY PETS

funct Tomcat.

It Is strange fact that many of the
great statesmen of the day have deep
fondness for cats. Felines and old maids,
it has always been supposed, wandered
through life in loving friendship with
complete understanding OF each others
foibles. But in these days of the new
woman the regulation old maid Is said to
exist no longer; that she has been trans
formed into the Girl Bachelor. The latter
can have no possible use for cats, and the
lot of poor puss would be hard indeed II
several of the great men OF the day had
not gallantly stepped into the breach made
vacant by the determination of the old
maid.
| 1t Is difficult matter to explain the
why and wherefore of the affinity between
the statesman and the cat. The feline Is
era eisuccessful statesman must
possess that quality In abundant quantities.
A purring cat is soothing to the nerves.
and therein lies another reason. bhgA

watched and vuraciOus when alone, but
these traits scarcely come under the head
of craftsmanship. There is another way
Of looking at 1t. A statesman may possess

When she read that the little pang that
had always haunted Constance was sOOth-

she said to herself.

but Constance hoped she had lost her clear

There was the Juno of the East End hotel
in the receiving party; but Constance look

When at length she ventured to ask Dor

"Y0u didn't know? She died that very
summer of the fever. 1t was her sister

THE ELKINs CAT BRIGADE.
Senator Stephen B. Elkins allows an
army of cats to invade his West Virginia
home. Perhaps study OF the contented
and conservative disposition of the cat led
the Senator to announce that the United
States Senate was good enough for him
and that he wasn't counting Presidential
lightning.
Matt Quay is another Senator who can
claim the distinction Of being feline
fancier. His home at Beaver, Pa, is
also the home OF two cats, which Mr..
Quay claims are of exalted pedigree. His
friends say that Mr.. Quay contracted his
secretive habits by studying these pets,
one of which il said to be the descendant
of the favOrite cat of q Persian monarch.
