I contribute money to any cause,

The following popularity known as

Y T has been a matter Of fact for the
past year that Mr.. Bowser has
been down on the Bowser cat. His
principal reason for his feelings
against the feline is that the cat al
ways seemed to take Mrs. Bowser's
part against him. He has seemed to
