CAT DELIVERED ITS MESSAGE
Battle Scared Feline Proved 1t at
Least Had the Courage of Its
Convictions.

The other night l saw a clever cat.
He sat on the fence III the moonlight,
all alone, writes correspondent Of
the Boston Herald. He looked up at
the moon and opened his mouth. /
braced myself for what l Believed 10
be coming, namely, his effort at self
expression. But no, this was a clever
cat. Like o. Henry, he dealt in clever
surprises. In his attitude there was
something of suspense. My waiting
nervous system felt the strain of Ii.
Then he gave voice to a great silence.
He said nothing in a dramatic way.
With a self-satissed smirk on mis-
pussy face he jumped off the fence
gracefully and disappeared into the
night. He was a clever cat. He did
the unexpected in an original and
artistic way. He annoyed me, for he
failed to live up to my conception of
cats, yet l felt a certain admiration
for him.
The next night another cat sat on
the fence. This was a great cat,
though his appearance was far from
prepossessing. He was scrawny, and
his coat bore, all too plainly, the scars
Of many a "foughten field" The d.
vine light Of unrest burned In his
eyes. He threw back his head and
poured out his very soul In vigorous
expression, sincere and earnest, though
unappreciated. Nothing daunted by
the lack of applause, or by the shower
Of missiles directed at his SCARED
person. he gave full vent to his mes
sage In a form which, though uncon-
ventional, seemed best to At his muse.
Then. with an air Of utter abandon.
he shook the dust of the fence from
his uncOncerned feet and disappeared.
This" thought I. my ears still ring
ing, was truly a great eat. He had
message and he gave 1t. Let the
world receive 1t or reject 1t as it
will"

NEWS GIVEN BY RADIOPH0NE
to Learn Market Conditions
and Prices.

Agricultural market reports by ra-
diOphOne is the latest innovation an
nounced by the bureau of markets,
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture. This service was launched re-
Gently at East Pittsburgh, and with the
necessary radiOphone apparatus, farm
ers and others within few hundred
miles of Pittsburgh will be able to
learn agricultural market conditions
and prices Immediately after the close
of the markets. The reports are sent
from radio station KDKA over a wave
length Of $50 meters.
The departments experimental radi-
Ophone service follows shortly the in
auguration of sending agricultural
market reports by wireless. Sending
the reports by radlOphone would great
" simplify their receipt by farmers
and others direct, inasmuch as the OPP
Grafton of a radiophOne set does not
REQUIRE a knowledge Of wireless codes.
Instead of coming in dots and dasheS
the market news would be received In
English. the same as conversation over
an ordinary telephone.
