THE KANGAROO

The kangaroos are regarded AS
among the most remarkable of ami
mails. Everything about their habits
is extraordinary. 1t was said by a
visitor in Australia that about twenty
or thirty years ago that they were
as thick to the square mile as jack
rabbits are today and that was i'm.
possible to avoid the countless .flocks
that swarmed on the island. OF course
things have changed since then but
they are yet good many living about
the island.
The hind legs of the kangaroo are
powerful weapons. One long claw
hard as bone. or steel and sharp as a
knife gives him an implement. and

a man or beast with one blow, but an
old fellow has strength enough to

MY CAT

once had Maltese cat. When
he was a little kitten, mamma AMI
got him at a neighbors house and
took him home with us and he was
contented and we kept him for three
years. We had him trained to do
many tricks. When he would look
at our canary bird we slapped him.
We called him Malty
We moved him several times and he
staid with us. But when we moved
across the rcil road track into another
part Of town he wanted to go back.
But all day he slept in his place on
the rockingham, but in the evening
he wanted out and mamma let him
out We think he went back to the
old place and got killed by the cars.
But there will never be another cat
like Malty

THE LION

OF the cat family, living in Africa and
southern Asia. The long shaggy name
which surrounds Its head, gives it an
appearance Of great size. But the
tiger Is larger than the lion.
A full grown lion is about ten feet
long. They are a brownish color with
a darker colored name
Their prey is the, giraffe. buffalo,
and zebra.
They live in the forests, and hide
among thickets and jungles.
