NEW MONARCH
IS RULING AT
COUNTY jail.

Old Tom, for many months mon
arch of the county Jail kitchen
forces and dictator of feline policies
about the bastille, is no longer king.
Instead Sergeant Mike, a very few
weeks old, weighing not more than
couple of ounces and completely
black, is ruler in the kitchen, and
he rules with claws Of needle sharp
ness.
Old Tom sulks about the outside
of the jail, perhaps embroiled in
political intrigue to regain his lost
prestige.
Sergeant Mike, like the infant
Michael of Roumania, takes his du-
ties seriously. He has a terrible
handicap to overcome. Black cats
from time immemorial have been a
sign of bad luck. Little Mike has
set about in big way to disprove
the age-old theory. He has already
won the support Of prisoners and
jailers alike, and seems on the road
to success.
Sergeant Mike was found one
morning wandering disconsoiately
about the jail yard. He was re-
manded to the kitchen. where Old
Tom held sway. Whether as the
result of intrigue or natural ability,
Sergeant Mike soon had replaced
the veteran.
Now Sergeant Mike directs the
destinies of the kitchen, watching
with approving eyes the concoction
Of food stuffs for the many dodgers
in the bastille.
Occasionally he makes his way to
the first floor. whereon is the sher-
ifs office. There Sergeant Mike
turks in corners and under desks,
attacking officers and stray bits of
paper alike in quite intrepid man
ner, and Haunting his complete
blackness for all the world to see.
