LITERATURE is FOOD FOR CAT
Chicago Feline Destroys Magazines
and Papers, and Defies Guns, Dogs
and Poison.

Chicago.-A cat-a ghostly, incom-
prehensible animal that thrives on
poison, dogs, bullets and walks in and
out of traps unscathed-ha furnished
Chicago with a mystery, which bor-
ders on the uncanny.
Each night during the last five
months malicious and predatory
feline appears at stationery store,
sometimes alone, sometimes in COM
pany with fellow cats. Then follows
the digesting of amagazines and sta
tionery.
Hundreds of dollars worth of sta
tionery and magazines have been
ruined by the weird animal Hun
dreds of attempts to trap, poison or
shoot it have been futile.
Traps have been set-large traps,
traps which might snare a bear and
traps delicate enough to capture rat.
They have been found in the morning
overturned and sprung but without
cat.

The girl is unable to explain her

says she has been in constant alarm

aspects of the notorious Ella Gingles

HISTORIC FRIGATE
BURNED FOR JUNK
Santees Final Voyage Was
From Baltimore Harbor.
HAD SUNK AT ANNAPOLIS.
Vessel a Practice Ship At Naval
Academy After Usefulness AS
Fighter Was Over-Saw Years
OF Service AS Prison.

Boston, Mass.-On the beach Of
Governors Island was burned for
Junk the historic wooden frigate,
Santee, remnant of the early days of
the navy, one-time practice ship of the
midsbipmen at Annapolis and known
TO practically every officer in the serv-
ice through the fact that for years
she was used as prison for dis
obedient middies. The Santee, which
was in Admiral Farragut's feet at
Mobile burned fercely, her timbers,
dried by many years, making fine fuel.
The blaze was visible for miles at sea.
The old warship had been bought by
a junk concern for her brass fittings.
The selling of the historic vessel
was not considered by the govern
ment until after she had sprung leak
and sunk at her dock at Annapolis.
After the sunken vessel had been
sold for junk, the firm which bought
the historic craft had her towed to
Baltimore, where she was drydocked
and made sufficiently seaworthy to
stand the trip to Boston for dis
mantling.
The Santee was built just before
the Civil War, but because of mis-
take in her design she was never used
for any important service. Tradition
has it that the error was pointed out
To the designer by his young son, and
the designer shot himself on the deck
of the vessel. The mistake was that
the portfolios were built directly op-
posite each other, thus affording an
open line of fire to an opposing vessel.
