Elizabeth City's No. l Ladies'
Man Cat least. that's what he
thinks) is definitely on the make
for one of the towns comeliest
young matrons.
AS congenial, handsome and
virile as her husband is, can't
see how she can possibly see
anything attractive about this
anemic- looking "slicker" who is
making such play for her.
He revels in playing the role
of a heart-breaker. 1t is not that
he is infatuated with the girls
he stoops to conquer. He is
mtrely infatuated with himselt
and seeks to break girls hearts
solely to please his own vanity.
When he is satisfied that he has
won a girls heart, he drops her
like a hot potato and singles out
another victim upon whom to
exert his dubious charms.

Fitchew, Europe's P0lecat

The fitchew, according to authori-

what the ferret, weasel and mink
are to the States. Over there it
is recognized as the polecat, name
we apply to our skunk, according
to writer in the Detroit News.
It is slender-bodied creature about
II inches long, extremely blood
thirsty and, like the weasel, will
always kill more than it can devour.
1t is an expert swimmer and kills
great numbers Of fish in any stream
1t invades. In Europe it is con-
sidered highly predatory and is a
menace to domestic poultry and all
game birds and small animals. Its
fur is coarse and the color is black
