Hunting Hanover Cats.

Devotees of the cat, and they are
not all old maids, either, are crying
aloud for protection against the noe
turnal hunts of the "cat tribe" a
newly organized society at Dart
mouth College, and unless laws are
made fixing Il close time on tabbies
the species IN Hanover will soon be-
come extinct.
1t was not until recently that the
existence of the organized gang Of
cat thieves came to the notice of the
townspeople. Cats were missed, to
be sure, but the belief was that they
had strayed. but when some rare
specimens, with long silken hair,
collals of colored ribbon. and SOM
nolent purr disappeared never to
come back, an investigation was
begun. The result was startling.
and the whole town is seething with
indignation.
1t seems that the biological work
at the college requires each student
to dIssect several cats, and instead OF
giving the small boy Il chance to
make few quarters by bringing in
some of the old nocturnal yowcrs
that nobody ever would miss, they
organized with a view of combining
pleasure with study.
Lean, good-for-nothing cats that
coax clubs and old boots when the
stars shine are not to the liking of
the students. They decided to cap
ture cats of some value. This would
lend a tlnge Of daredcviltry to their
raids, and at the same time set the
town by the ears.
Within two weeks scores of cats
have disappeared, but it was not
until within Il day or two that the
existence of the scat tribe of Dart
mouth was discovered. Husbands,
big brothers and fathers are laying
for the boys now, and future raids
raids are likely to be made lively
enough for the most venturesome of
the students. Cats are killed as soon
as captured, and there is no discrinn-
inati OIL as to sex, color or voice.
