not to be soothed by such artificial
methods as cradles and sugar plums

They want to know If the antfseptic

REGULAR AT CHURCH SERVICE
Two Philadelphia Cats Have Pro
nounced Religious Turn.

Opposite Hunting Park, on Old
York road, resides a family, Torpey
by name. The Torpeys own two cats
that are different from other cats in
that they go to church. AS regularly
as Sunday morning arrives the pair
of felines may be seen following the
Torpeys to St Stephens church
Broad and Butler streets. No matter
what the weather or transpirings on
back fences. the two pious cats brave
probable attacks by impious mongrels
and set an example that many hui
mans would do well to follow.
Neighbors will attest TO the truthful
ness of the statement that the church
going felines spend the very early
morning hours of Sunday in licking
themselves into that state of cleanli-
ness which is said to be secondary
only to godliness. Their fur is glossy
their paws immaculate, and not
whisker is out of place.
Arrived at the church, the cats con.
tent themselves with peering in at the
door. They are seemingly content to
delegate the praying to their owners.
Then they slip into the vestibule of
the priests house adjoining, curl I'D
and doze until church is out. when
they follow the Torpeys home and live
normal cat lives until another Sunday.
