President Harding which took him
from bridge to engine room, but
without his finding any section of
the ship better to his liking than
the galley and dining room. 1t is
there that he spends most of his
time either mapping, when "Off
duty or sitting dignifiedly erect
during meal hours.
Mister Meyer is well aware that
Captain Paul c. Grenning is COM
mander of the President Harding,
and in apparent Difference to the
fact Stands by the shippers chair
at the captains table at dinner.
Whenever a special dinner or party
is served in the large dining salon
Mister Meyer is sure to be found
right on the job, intently watching
the stewards at work, an expression
on his wise face of seeming salts
faction at the excellence of the
food provided and service rendered.
Though always in the dining
room during meal hours Mister
Meyer never has been known to get
under any persons foot, to beg for
food or to attempt to jump in a
diners lap. He is thoroughly re-
served at such times and haughtily
refuses to be petted. Social relations,
he evidently considers, have their
time and place, and they apparently
are not be suffered or enjoyed eX
cept in off duty hours.
Mister Meyer, who by now is
known to hundreds who have travel
ed between New York and Bremen
on the President Harding, likes to
be petted, however, especially by
pretty young women, and generally
has a few favored friends on board
on whom he calls on deck or in their
Staterooms. He is fond of good per-
fumes and scents, and does not OBJ
ject if some fair passenger to whom
he has taken a fancy, allows him
to sniff a delicately perfumed hand
kerchief or endeayOrS to dust his
snowy white chest fur with powder.
In fact he rather enjoys the eX-
perience and has been known to
deliberately invite the latter atten
ton by playing with a powder puff
on some young wOman's dressing
table until his fur has been powder
ed to his hearts content.

New York, June 27.-There was
a time when cats, large and black
ones especially, when found on
board were considered evil omenS,
to be promptly thrown overheard.
But that superstition, believed in by
sailors of by-gone days, no longer
exists, and today many an ocean
going vessel boasts, as its mascot
and particular pride, a huge black
cat. the pet of all on board.
The President Harding of the
United States Lines, has a black
cat which has the freedom of the
ship, and which even has a title in
keeping with the dignity of his sta
ton aboard the liner. This naughty
feline. Mister Meyer by name, is
known to the entire personnel of the
big liner as milk Steward" and
with the Chief Steward, reigns over
the dining room during meal hours.
Mister Meyer was found one day
year ago aboard the President
Harding when but a wee kitten.
Incidentally he refuses to answer to
his last name alone, but will res
pond if called by his proper title.
lie hlIIeu WAS lOuUu ny the hdS-
ter at Arms on the promenade deck
of the liner, then at Bremen. The
soft cries of the little creature
sounded so much like Meyer" that
he was instantly christened that
name by the dining room stewards
TO whom he was taken to be fed
The warmed milk the kitten was
given evidently struck just the right
spot, and impressed on the juvenile
cat mind the fact that the President
Harding's galley and dining room
were just the proper place for him
to make his headquarters. The cat
attached himself to the pantryman
whose duty is to bring milk from
the big refrgeratOrS to the galley,
and meowed for a drink every time
a new cOntainer was brought in.
The habit of insisting by frantic
mewingS, that the can be opened,
in order that he might have taste
of the contents poured into his
saucer for inspection, speedily re-
suited in the Mister" title being
given Meyer, together with the rat
ing of milk Steward.

legs he started an inspection OF the
