THE CAT.

From the standpoint Of utility. e1-
cept in SO far as decorativeness Is
utility, not much can be said for the
average cat these days. The cat en-
joys it's privileges without greatly con-
corning itself with the responsibilities.
And in point OF fact, it's services In
most houses would be superfuous.
The mousetrap now does for most
households what the cat formerly did.
Nor is the cat particularly distin-
guished by the affection for its mas
ter which Is 30 conspicuous in the
dog, its sole domestic rival for the
warm spot under the kitchen stove.
II you will note the cat carefully, you
will observe that it usually wants
something OF you when it comes
around. None Of it's calls are courtesy
calls. The arched back and the
"mew-mew" are eloquent Of its de-
sires. il it does not receive these
anything else that interests it, say,
nice warm spot in your lap to take q
doze on, the cat moves majestically
and inditerently away. Your person
atty has no particular charm for It.
1t admires the radiator more than 1t
does you. These characteristic symp'
toms OF self-centeredness and grave
detachment are reinforced by the eyes
of the cat. A cats eyes look at you,
but they seem to be looking beyond
you. They are like the eyes Of the
Gagged lion, which always seem to be
seeing the distant desert that 1t loves
and that is calling to it by night and
day.

Washington, D. c., April 6.-There
is no denying the fact that there are
millions of democrats in the United
States who love William J. Bryan and
have the highest regard for him polit-
ically and personally. There also is
no denying the fact that he is entitled

There are thousands and hundl eds 81
thousands of men in this country who
are unselfsh democrats, who have
been listening for some suggestion
from Colonel Bryan as to who he
tayors as the next nominee for the
democratic party for the presidency.
He has never announced himself in 50
many words and thousands are still
hungering to hear from him because
they believe in his sagacity and his
democracy and are willing to follow
MIN to any extent to nominate the
man that he favors.
