ANIMAL TOILETS.
Cleanliness Rules and Some Creatures
Wash Each Other.

Most animals love cleanliness. We
have all seen sparrows fill their feath.
ers with dust and then shake them
selves until they are clean. This is
one of their ways Of washing. And
we have all watched the cat lick her
self till she Is spOtless and shining.
For her toilet the cat makes use of her
tongue tail and her paws. y cats
tongue is rough, having all over it tiny
horny papillae that are directed in
ward. Pussy brushes herself all over
with her tongue, using the hard rough
pads under her paws upon those parts
that are beyond the reach of her
tongue. Her claws she uses as u comb
to take tangles and matted foreign
substances out of her fur. She also
picks her teeth with her claws.
The cat uses the pads of her feet like
a sponge, moistening them with sa-
Iva and passing them repeatedly over
her head and face Finally, to com
pIete her toilet. she gives herself a few
whisks with her tail.
Some animals wash each other. Con
doris, yultures and eagles after feast
of carrion fly to the nearest water and
splash about in ii until their feathers
are clean. The care that animals
which live together in communities
take to keep their homes clean is as
tonishing and is well seen in the nests
of moes and especially among the bees
and ants,-New York World.

Their old friends in Natchito
ches will be interested in readins
the following complimentary arti
les from the Toyah Enterpris,
about some former residents, Mr.
and Mrs. Ponder S. Carter (Mis.
l. Holsteinl who moved to loyal
several years ago on account Of
Mr.. Carriers health that has now
been restored.
After a most interesting account
of a very elaborate reception and
card party given in honor of Mrs.
Carter, who had been president of
the club, it goes on to say:
Mrs. Pope, the newly elected
president, in a few we'll chosen
words, presented Mrs. Carter, for
the club, with a handsome cut
glass celery dish, which she &C,
cepted in a beautiful address to
the club. There was also an i'm
promptu program of delightful
music given by Mrs. Pope, Misses
Andrew, Ruhrup, Rowland and
Hughes.
The hour for adieus came and
each of the many guests in bid
ding goodbye to the hostess and
honoree wished the latter bon
voyage to her new home, but with
expressions of much regret in
losing one who is so universally
loved in Toyah as is Mrs. Carter.
Judge and Mrs. Ponder S. Car
ter left Tuesday afternoon for
their new home in Ell Paso. They
had made Toyah their home for
six or seven years and had pur-
chased and improved a home
which was transformed from :
desert into one of the most beau
tiful flower gardens in the town. |
They saw life fitting away in a
small town without social or po-
Iitical advantages and decided to
AXE refuge in a city where they
can go somewhere and see some
hing. The Enterprise with their
many friends wish them much
and prosperity in their
new home.
The Natchitoches enterprise., 1915-09-02

While the calendar does not
rank 1915 as one of the every
fourth yearly epochs that marks
many a great milestone in some
lives, the young ladies of Natchi-
toches who have enjoyed a very
gay summer decided they would
wind up the seasons festivities
with a great dance and besides
being hosts, make it a regular leap
year affair, checking the boys
names to serve as escorts, making
out their programs, memphising
them, ect.
So on Monday night the great
hall in the Williams building was
the scene of one of the most bril-.
liant and enjoyable dances given
in Natchitoches in many a long
day. Between thirty-eight and
forty couples participated in the
grand march that formally opened
the program and as the girls all
wore their prettiest evening frocks
and the boys were in natty white
suits, 1T was very attractive sight
to watch them dancing to the in
spring music of Walkers band. |
A great many chaperons were
present and enjoyed the lovely
affair that the young ladies with |
the assistance of the young peo-
pies best friend, Mr.. Marcus,
wonderfully we'll, as
everything went off without a hitch
md all declared 1t the best ever.
