CAT DELIVERED

be coming, namely. his effort al self
expression. But 10. this was clever
cat. Like q. Henry. lie dealt In clever
surprises. In his attitude there was
something Of suspense. My waiting
nervous system felt tie strain Of it,.
Then he gave voice to great silence
He said nothing in a dramatic way
With self-Satistied snlirk on his
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 | felt certain admiration
for him.
The next night another cat sat on
the fence. This was great cat,
though his appearance was far from
preposSessing. He was scrawny, and
his coat bore, all too plainly, the scars
Of many "foughten field" The di-
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 form which. though uncon-
ventlopal. seemed best to fit his muse.
Then, with ain air of utter abandon,
he shook the dust Of the fence from
his unc0ncerned feet and disappeared.
This" thought l. my ears still ring
ing, "was truly great cat. He had
a message and he gave it. Let the
world receive 1t or reject 1t as it
will"

WHEAT SHOWS
ABOVE GROUND
Rains of Last Week Excel
lent for Giving Grains
Good Start.

Wheat is beginning TO show above
the ground in some parts of North
Dakota according t o reports gathered
by The Herald from several sections
of the state.
In the southern part Of the state
preparations are well under way for
the planting of corn. and other later
crops according to the reports
The Northern part Of the state is
less advanced than the southern as
far as seeding Is concerned. but even
in this section from rs to 80 per cent
of the wheat is in the ground and in
some places the new shoots are be-
ginning to appear.
Although recent rains have delayed
seed De- to some extent they have put
the soil in good condition ,as far as
moisture is concerned. Arrival of
warn weather will now bring the crop
rapidly forward.
In the territory surrounding Grand
Forks wheat seeding is practically
completed. and although the weather
has seen cold during the last few
days, and the crop has thus been held
back to some extent the general con-
dition and prospect r reported to
be excellent.
Rain fell in most sections OF the
state Saturday. in some cases turning
to snow.
