There Were Limits Beyond Which

Mss wILLARD's CAT.


A famous pet OF Miss Willard at her
Rest Cottage home, in the Catskills.
Was a large Angora cat named 'Toots.'
Many readers of the Companion may
have seen picture OF Toots. for the
sale OF his photographs spread his re-
nown along with that OF his distin-
guished mistress. and coined money for
her cause.
In this way he Is said to have contri-
buted $4,000 to the treasury of the
Woman .Christian Temperance Union
probably more than cat ever earned
before.
Toots had some rather unfeline pecu-
liarities. He loved his bath as we'll as
any schoolboy loves to 'go in swim
ming" and his appetite WAS very es-
thetic.
He would luxuriate over the smell of
a bunch Of English violets. and then
eat them, one by one; and when his
favorite reward for doing his lesson
was not a piece OF meat. but sprig of
umbrella palm. which he devoured as
eagerly as girl chews caramels.
He learned to stand before visitor
and receive a caress or pat on the
head, and to make a bow for good-by
and he generally minded his manners.
Indeed. this was all the recognition he
gave Miss Willard herself when she
greeted him again. after being two
years away. Toots was neveR a senti-
mental cat. =
1t is natural to use the past tense in
speaking of this pet of the great phil
anthropist, but puss still hears his own
praises and the praise of his late Ia
mented owner.
Mrs. Leland Norton. president -of the
"Chicago Cat Club" now has charge OF
the handsome creature. and he enjoys
himself in the mature dignity OF his
eight years. honored not only as being
1.-The Willard cat" but for the good he
has done-Youth's COMPANION.
