DICKENS DEAF KITTEN.
II Was Not Fool by Any Means--A

At the cat show we ran across an
Englishman who CHANGED to know
many unrccorded tales of Dickens, and
during lull in the "meows" he casual
ly inquired, Did you know, by the
way, that Charles Dickens was devot-
ed to cats? He was indeed lover Of
all animals, and frequently became the
slave of his pets. Williamina, little
white cat, was a great favorite with
the entire household, but regarded the
great author as her especial friend. She
selected corner of his study for her
Individual property and one day COM
mitted the indiscretion of bringing In
her little family of kittens from the
kitchen, one by one. Dickens had
then taken away, but Williamina
brought them quietly back. Again.
they were removed,b but the third time
of their return the little mather did
not leave them in the corner. Instead
she placed them at her masters feet,
and taking her stand beside them
hooked imploringly up at him. That
settled the question.
Thereafter the kittens belonged to
the study and made themselves royal
ly at home, swarming up the curtains,
playing about the writing table and
scampering behind the book shelves
until they were one by one given away,

from her devotion to Dickens. became

somewhat reproachfully while she re-

the light again became dim that the

he found her deliberately putting out
the candle with her paw, and again
she looked at him appealingly. She

From Sylvan Valley News, Brevrad NC.
1t may be q question whether the
editor of a newspaper has the right to
publicly recommend any of the yari-
GUS proprietary medicines which flood
the market, yet asa preventative of
suffering we feel it a duty to say a good
word for Chamberlain S Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy We have
known and used this medicine in our
family for twenty years and have al
ways found it reliable. In many cases
a dose of this remedy would save hours
of suffering while a physician isawait-
ed. We do not believe in depending
implicitly on any medicine for Il cure,
but we do believe that if a bottle of
Chamberlain'S Diarrhoea Remedy
were kept on hand and administered
at the inception of an attack much
suffering might be avoided and in very
mano cases the presence Of a physician
would not be required. At least this
has been our experience during the
past twenty years. For sale by DR..
