We all sympathize with the birds in
their persecution from the hands, or
rather from the paws and jaws, of the
family cat. Generally the cat has
everything its own way but it is pleas
ant to know that occasionally the
tables are turned The Waterville
Mail thus describes ii recent episode:
"A young robin had fallen from its
nest in the maple tree beside the house
and was lluttering on the ground. 1t
had not been there great while before
it was discovered by cat from a
neighboring store. The cat craWled
along close to the ground and was just
balancing itself for the fatal spring on
the helpless bird when the mother bird
returned to the nest and discovered the
situation. The parent bird came down
with savage SWOOp, striking the cat
with sufficient force to roll ii over and
over three or four times. Before the cat
could gather and get upon its feet it
was attacked by a second robin, the
mate ofthe first, which had appeared at
the first outcry. Inside Of 10 seconds
from the time of the first swoop half
dozen other robins had arrived to the
aid of the first ones and each were
striking the cat such quickly repeated
blows that he came to the conclusion
that he was not wanted in that vicinity
and as soon as possible skulked to COW
er about as bloody as If he had been
kicked through barbcd wire fence"
A good Rockland minister had pre-
pared an address for the Sunday school
scholars. His subject was a wicked
and a good heart. and to make II more
interesting to the children he had
drawn on blackboard two figures Of
a heart joined together. One was mere
~ an outline drawn with white chalk !
the surface appearing black. This was
to represent a bad heart. The othe.
figure. filled in with chalk, represented
clean white heart.
