My brother, to whom he be-
longed, thought him beautiful,
and was always boasting that
nothing could scare him or make
him run. I had a cat named
Felix. He was a beauty and so
good, but that dog Roswell made
his life a burden. Whenever
Felix saw him he arched his
back and spit, because, you
know, a cat can't stand every
thing, even if he has a sweet
temper. One evening the boys
had been rubbing phosphorus on
their hands to scare US in the
dark. I thought I should like
to see how phosphorus cat
would affect Roswell I told the
boys that Roswell was becoming
a coward, and I believed Felix
could make him run. I took the
cat into the woodshed and rubbed
phosphorus on him. Then I called

bill was passed in the legislature that arrests

amount due is under 500. This bill has for
two years effectually killed off that kind Of in

The Legal Aid Society in such matters can
go further than attend to individual cases. 1t
can do excellent preventive work. says Mrs
Whitney. For my part, I consider such work
among its most important. But it requires
more time and money than the society has at
its disposal. and, of course, the cases must
have it's first attention. I sincerely hope the
