OFFER OF $3.50 REFUSED
FOR FREAK BLACK CAT
Suspends Itself by One Paw When
It Goes to Sleep-Native
of Africa.

NEW ROCHELLE, N Y, December
13-Mrs. Charles l.. Ketchen of Alpha
place has a cat named Kinky. 1t is jet
black, with long hair like a Persian
lamb. which curls lightly in cold weather,
and has a long body and a tail two feet
long. 1t does not walk like other cats
but prances like a horse. Nor does it
sleep like other cats, for it slumbers
hanging to a door knob or shelf by one
paw. as a sloth does with its four feet
Furthermore. it does not scratch.
kinky has one bad habit. It goes out
nights. Often it will sneak up to the
attic, climb out of the window to the roof
and leap to a tree that overhangs the
house. Often when it is pursued by it's
owner it will leap to the branch of a
tree and, hanging by one paw, blink at
her and wag it's tail. 1t loves worms, dig
ging in the garden for them, and eats
bugs and flies for dessert.
Mrs. Kitchen got the cat from c. A.
Hunter Of Long Island City for s. few
days ago. She has had an offer of $3.50
for it, but refused 1t. She intends to eX-
hibit ii In cat shows as a freak.
Kinky came from Africa. The story
is that a sailor found him with the rest
of the family. its mother and four sis
tiers. few days old on the South African
coast about a year ago. When the ship
reached New York mother and sisters
had died and gone overheard. Kinky was
the only one left.

ARIZONA DEMOCRATIC,
REPUBLICANS ADMIT
Recall of Judges Eliminated
From Constitution Almost
Unanimously.

PHOENIX, Ariz., December 13.-The
first state election in Arizaona has re-
suited in a sweeping democratic victory
for senator's and representatives in Con-
gress and state officers, according to .ad-
missions Of republican leaders, though
figures are not available.
Amendment to the constitution eliml-
mating the recall of judges, believed to
assure statehood, passed almost unani-
gnously Figures on the amendment
vote ceased to command attention early
last evening.
Early today there appeared to be little
hope for any republican on the state
ticket, with the possible exception of
Cleveland for secretary of state.
Figures on the legislature are not avail
able.
1t is indicated that Cochise county will
go democratic by a good majority. though
the city of Bisbee may join the republi-
can ranks.
Pinal county reported the democratic
state ticket elected by 10 or 80 majority.
The counting of votes was very slow.
The definite result may not be known
before tonight.

Red Cross seals to the number of
100000 are now on sale throughout
Washington. Thousands have already
been sold, and the sale is increasing
every day. The fact that all of the
proceeds go to aid the day camp for
tubercular patients, at 18th and I-pshur
streets, which is conducted under the
direction of the Red Cross, makes the
seals popular.
The moving picture theaters here are
all showing cuts Of the Christmas seals
at the beginning and end of each per-
formance. This is being done. also, at
Chase's. Burton Holmes Is also showing
pictures of the seals when he gives his
lectures here.
At the Summer School for colored chill
dren has been sold already two large
orders of stamps. and an order has been
placed with the committee for more The
stamps are selling rapidly at four other
colored schools here.
In the House office building in a single
day 1000 stamps were sold. and 2.OOO
more were ordered Immediately. The
Columbia and Belasco theaters are using
cuts of the seals on the first pages of
their programs.
