story around to friends. One
looked thoughtful.
But I think that might be
fun" he said. Fun, that is,
if you're naturally iraScible
and need to let of steam. 1t
would be better than Snarling
at your wife or secretary, for
you'd sometimes break into
print and so satisfy your ego
as we'll as get rid of anger"
Then he grinned suddenly.
Kindred Spirit
"In a mild way, maybe I'm
a kindred spirit of your old
boy" he said. During the irri-
table drip stage of a head cold
recently, I almost fired off a
superior letter to a radio COM
mentator. I'd just heard from
an authority that Mark Twain
had NOT tossed off that re-
mark about everybody talking
about the weather and nobody
doing anything. So when this
radio Characterization I dis
like anyway - airily named
Mark Twain as the author, I
stopped sneezing and started
looking for pen and paper. I
never wrote the letter, though.
What restrained me was that l
couldn't remember the name
of the person who really made
the bon mot-some editor in
Connecticut, I think"
There I go again, leaving a
subject up in the air and my
self open to the caviller who
will be quick. I'm sure, to pick
up the challenge. One thing
certain, he will never by any
chance write to say "well
done" He'll just keep on rip
ping off nasty, disturbing little
beefs
Well, I won't cater to his
ego by printing his name. Not
even when he happens to be
right, which this time, thank
goodness he wasn't.

solve your problem. But cats
vary in their ability and in
clination to catch mice. ANY
kind Of a cat is good. but per-
haps "just plain cat" is the
best, although some Of the
beautiful longhairs can be
very decorative as well as use
full. A kitten has to learn to
catch mice and learns best
from a good mousing mother;
so if you get a two or three
months old kitten. it will be
another monthepr so before it
catches any mice. However.
if you get a grown cat, you
may have difficulty keeping
it in its new home. Like dogs.

first home, or they may be

loving and q warm place to
sleep. Cats or kitten will use
a box of sand or sawdust or
torn papers in the house if it
is available. They are subject
to few diseases, but the long
hairs coats need brushing to
prevent painful mats. They
love to sharpen claws on the
furniture, but prefer a scratch

vide, a log of wood by the
fireplace, or a short upright
pole covered with a piece OF.
old carpet. They can be left,
with plenty of food and water,
for a couple of days in the
house if you are away over
night. but they must not be
turned out to fend for them
selves while you are on vaca-
ton. There are numerous
books on cat care, most Of
which go into more detail than
you will ever need. You might
look through a couple in your
library and then forget about
them until your own cat makes
you curious.
I can't imagine our house
without at least one cat. We
have three females land must
keep three of the next kittens
so there'll be no more bed

takes a cat to bed! When in

to live peaceably with a dog.
Ours even play together. My
advice is to get a kitten--two

and protect it from small

squeeze too hard in their loving
hugs and hurt when they pick
