There is large, handsome cat about a
dozen years old which is owned by Henry
Dubois which is known as "Jim, the vii
Iage cat" that exhibits some remarkable
feline intelligence. He is not afraid of
dogs and pays his round of calls daily at
certain business places. He goes to Lewis
Ford's for peanuts, to HOyt & Harris for
milk, to 0. W. Locke's for cheese, to the
meat market for meat, and to Hildreth's
drug store for sedatives. One day a while
ago he walked into the drug store and
stopped at a certain draw, waited, scratch
ed and said as plainly as cat could he
would like the draw opened. The clerk
opened it and took out some valerian. The
cat made great ado over it and some was
- IL,
ish and now every day he goes after his
valerian as constantly as for his milk. One
of his traits is jealousy. He viii not visit
any house where another cat is living, but
feels perfectly at home anywhere if no
other cat is seen.
