The Cat Took the Pail.

Many milkmen in the lower section
of the city serve their wares in small
tin cans, which sre left upon the front
doorsteps. Generally the lids of these
cans are fastened down so tight that it
requires pretty hard tug to get them
off. On recent morning, however,
the can which was left at the door of
house on Watt street, below Ritner,
had no lid at all. This oversight on
the part of the milkman attracted a
homeless cat, which had been prowl-
ing around all night. The cat shifted
about the can, and discovering that it
was full of sweet milk speedily intro
duced her head into the can. 1t was
hard squeeze, and when she had
drunk he fill she found it utterly i'm
possible to withdraw her head. She
scratched and clawed, and finally
dashed off down the street like mad
just as the housewife appeared at the
door to take in the family's milk. The
cat hasn't been seen since, and the
milkman has lost brand-new can. -
