Robbed Feline Mother TerrorIzea West
Chicago, Avenue Station.
The desk sergeant and operators at
the West Chicago avenue police station
we're completely routed a few days ago
by a pet cat that has made the station
her headquarters for several months,
says the Chicago Chronicle. The Off
GERS were forced to fee from the desk
s~ergeant's room and seek places Of
safety in the captains office until the
wrath Of the animal subsidized. The
cat recently gave birth to five kittens.
They were the pride OF her existence
and she carried them from one BART
Of the building to the other. Several
of the kittens were killed and one CIV
en- away, whi3e the mother cat was out
one day, and when on her return she
found but one of her little mes she
became frantic. She first searched the
station from top to bottom, and falling
to find any Of her kittens she bounded
into the 9esf0ergeapt's room, splitting
and crashing her teeth. So ferocidus
was her entry into the room that the
occupants were warned of the danger
and prepared for the attack. The cat
leaped on the desk sergeant's back and
was about to imbed her teeth in his
neck when Operator Hunt knocked her
to the floor. Now Infatuated, the cat
went after the officers like an enraged
bull after his ~tormentors, and the po-
lice fed from the scene in a hurry. Not
until the cats fury had abated did they
dare return to the room, and even now
they keep a keen eye on the %revengeful
mother whenever she comes near
them.

The spasm at the top of the wind pipe or bronchial tubes,

sERENADE OF WOLVES.
Started by n yisitor.to the Zoo whs
Knew the uuptIng Song of
the Pack,


In the Century Ernest Seton-Thomp-
son, who used to be known as wolf"
Thompson, from his familiarity with
this particular form of wild animal,
tells how he started a wolf serenade at
the National Zoo" in Washington.
"While making these notes among
the animals of the Washington zoo, I
used to go at all hours to see them.
Late one evening sat down with some
friends by the wolf cages, in the light
Of n full moon. said: Let us see
whether they have forgotten the mu-
sic of the west put up my hands
to my mouth and howled the hunting
song of the pack. The first TO respond
was n coyote from the plains. He re-
membered the wild music that used to
mean picldngs for him. He put up his
muzzle and 'yap-yapped' and howled.
Next an old wolf from Colorado came
running out, looked and listened ear
nestly, and raising her snout TO the
proper angle she took up the wild
strain. Then all the others came run
ming out and joined in, each according
to his voice. but all singing that wild
wolf hunting song, bowling and Yell
ing, rolling and swelling. high and low.
in the cadence of the hills:
They sang me their song OF the West
the West.
They set all my feelings aglow;
They stirred up my heart with their art
less art
And their song of the iong-ago."
"Again and again they raised the
cry, and sang in chorus till the whole
moonlit wood around was ringing with
the grim refrain--until the inhabitants
in the near city must have thought all
the beasts broken loose. But atlength
their clamor died away, and the wolves
returned, skunk back TO their dens, si-
lently, sadly thought, as though they
realized that they could indeed join in
the hunting song as of old. but their
hunting DAYS were forever done"
