CAT SPENDS WINTER WITH
ZOO COLONY OF RACCOONS

st. Louis, Mo.-An old gray cat
which was adrift and without shelter
found home and friends among the
raccoons in the zoo in Forest Park
four months ago, and spent the win
ter as sharer of their lairs and their
food. Attendants have several times
attempted to drive the cat away, but
she has invariably returned to the
raccoons.
The raccoons seem to enjoy the
cats company, and although they
fight viciously with one another, they
never modest her. AS a sort of re-
quital of their hospitality, the cat
has adopted some habits of the rae
coons. She spends her time in the
lairs with them when the weather
without is disagreeable, but on bright
days climbs to the upper branches OF
the tree inside their inclosure and
stretches herself, as they do, to enjoy
the sun.
In addition to her distinction as
the party to an unusual fondness for
raccoons, the cat is the only mem
ber of her species on exhibition in
the zoo.

Sunday And Not at Church
This is Sunday, April 21, and I am
sorry to say I was not at church
to-day, and you will probably feel
sadder yet when you hear I was fly
ing three times to-day. Remember
ing your Puritan ideas on the proper
enjoyment of the Sabbath, it makes
me stop and think as I go tearing
through the air hunting someone to
kill instead of the things I used to
do-go to church and Sunday school.
It was very cloudy when we left for
the first patrol, and all we did was
dive under. through, over and above
clouds, with every now and then the
Boche "archies" taking pot shots at
us. We might as we'll have come
home, for no Boches are up on
cloudy days, probably due to scarcity
of essence. Besides, I was riding
behind O motor which was far from
healthy. Such coughing and spit
ting / never heard. 1t sure had the
consumption bad, and every minute
expected to be let down to the ten
der mercies of the trenches, with
their "wiggles" and shell holes. But
although she shook the machine like
man with a chill she kept running.
On account of the clouds we could
not fly high, only about 900 meters,
and at this height 1t was very inter-
esting especially when we flew over
Reims, looking down and seeing the

streets.
