Down along the wharves in New

one man whom they regard with APP

II don't know all Of them" he says.
NO man could and besides there are
changes all the time. But if / don't
know them, they all know me, every
cat Of them. And they're wise; cats
are as wise as any beast that lives.
every cat on the block runs to meet
me, but they are always on their
good behavior. Now, here's n place
where l leave meat for six cats. They
follow me when | give it to the por-
ter. They are the cats that belong
here. and all the rest OF the cats
are waiting ~peaceably for me TO come
ont. Now, see those four cats run
ahead and into the next place; they're
the cats that belong there, and they
line up to meet me.
But that IS a small part OF the
wisdom Of these cats. Five mornings

outside the doors until it lacks only a
little of 9. You see there are calendars
hanging up in every Office to tell the
day of the week, and clocks, too, and
there's nothing 10 hinder the cats
from consulting them. If they don't
