STORY OF "sELF.MADE" CAT.

Tho Nomad 0. tho Nine Lives, BY A. Frances
FTebo. Iuntratci by Clara r. Atwood. Pub
lIshcd by sherman. French Company. Boston,
This life story of q self made cat aims
to inculcatc in both young people and
grown ups kindness and loyalty to the
dumb animals in their power, 1t Is an
especially strong plea for the unfortunat te
cats that every spring and fall, as the
changing seasons bring In their train a
change OF residence, are abandoned by
their faithless owners, who have made
them for a few months their pampered
and petted playthings.
Few domestic animals are more sensitive
to kindness and cruelty than puss, yet
perhaps because he has as yet no spe..
cial commercial value unless he be of
fancy breed-few are SO often cruelty
neglected. In recounting his experiences,
the Nomhd tries to make his human COM
panons understand the feline point Of
view Of the horrors of abandonment as
well as the pleasure OF a warm corner
bred dependency of his kind upon the
Just treatment Of man.
The adventures of this ambitious cat
are many and varied-now. sad now
merry-and he makes the best he can
