kept up his old friendship for John hay

is spelled entirely different. But / am
SO young that I cannot remember much
about the time when the poem was written.
My father lived in Warsaw from 1888 to

P1rTsBURo. July 2.-Oyama Is the name
of big black tomcat. who for the past
year has been an honored occupant Of the
nineteenth floor OF the Friok Building
All the stenographcrs and office boys give
him choice bits out of their lunch baskets
and he has the privileges Of the floor in
every sense Of the word.
Oyama has always taken great interest
in the elevators. He has heard people
yell Down nineteen!" so often that he
concocted little meow of his own, which
sounds just like the request to be taken
down. Yesterday afternoon he was alone
on the floor. He stood in front of the ele-
vator and gave his meow. The elevator
stopped about six inches above the floor
and the doors opened.
Oyama saw the opening and darted
through. There was nothing to stop his
descent and he didn't stop until he reached
the sub basement, which is two floors under
the street. One of the janitors went down
with a cr,imb tray to pick up the remains.
But there stood Ovama, looking bit shaken
up, but still as peart as ever. He hadn't
even broken a leg.
