Frequently stories are told of the won derful sense of a dog, horse. monkey and many ether animals. but it Is rarely that cat Is regarded as more than a house. [ hold pet.
 But there is a good story told about a cat which is being raised in a saloon on Avenue B and 1wenty-second street. This animal has shown ability in a financial way which promises much for the future.
 The cat in question is only half grown, but several days ago 1t turned up in the saloon carrying money in it's mouth and delivered the coin to it's friend. Bartender Brown and the cat have been great friends ever since the animals klttenhood, and recently he noticed that the eat was very affectlonate. The cat rubbed about fis legs, and purred as if to attract att tention, Brown looked down and found between the cats teeth a new silver dol- lar. Half a dozen people witnessed the actions of the cat and the finding of the money and the dollar was pasted up in the window for day or two and the story was told many times. No one has claimed the dollar, so it has finally gone where the good dollars go.
