This cat story comes from Pont Ste.
Maxence (Oise), and for such a small
place It Ia an extremely tall tale, says
the Paris Messenger. 1t would appear
that resident In the place. who is an
enthusiastic angler, used to keep live
bnlt in small tank on his premises
The angler also had cat who natu.
rally was fond of fish, raw or cooked
This being so, his owner covered his
tank with wire netting to keep pussy
out Of temptation.
But the cat knew trick or two and
went to the nearest refuse heap for
some fowl giblets which were provi-
dentially lying there. These she took
to the tank. let them hang into the wa
ter from the netting and began fishing
on her own account. When the fish
nbbled at the bait. puss would catch II
with nimble clawi The angler, no
ticing the trick, threw the bait away,
but half an hour later puss was at It
again.
We hardly know which to admire
most. the cats ingenuity or that Of the
concocter Of the story.

Some light Is thrown on the position
which a public library should take in
regard to the fiction Of the day by the
recent statement OF London librarian
as recorded In The Library World. Ac-
cording to his experience, many Of the
books most conspicuously advertised
are In great demand, but are not read
This one huge book, which could hardly
be read inside week, was drawn
eleven times In month. and II Is n
common thing for one Of these books
Of the moment to be drawn one day
and returned the next, the consumer
evidently finding the goods not up to
the advertisement. This shows that an
artificial demand can be created for a
book Just as for any other article Of
merchandise II sufficient effort and
skill are used In advertising 1t. But n
public library can well afford to walt
little and see how much real worth
there Is In a new novel. and librarians
are more and more coming to this
point of view. The statement that
such and such novel has been re
jected" by library Is usually an error.
the truth being simply that the library
has not selected IT. No library could
afford to buy everything. even II 1t had
the funds.
