Tom Cat Is Devoted to His Old Home

his home beneath the chair of the
switchman at this crossing.
At night Tom quietly leaves his
friend when the last car has passed
and wanders off down Y street to a
nearby lumber yard, where he has
made his bed since the destruction of
his birthplace.
At five o'clock every morning back
he comes and takes his accustomed
place beneath the chair, where his
saucer of milk awaits him. No matter
how inclement the weather, Tom al
ways manages to find his way to the
switchman's stand, and there remains
all day.
Tom was the only member of a
family of six kittens who refused to
depart from the depot when workmen
began to demolish it, and despite the
fact that nothing remains to mark the
once famous structure, this feline
creature Is so strongly attached to the
surroundings that he cannot be in:
duced to forego an uncomfortable
home for luxurious quarters uptown.
