Some Cats I Have Wet
By Joe Sappington.
I have owned many cats in my
lift' some of these cats were
won by conquests, some were
wooed and won to my side by my
gentle loving nature, while the
majority of them were bestowed
upon me by tin* sackful' at the
dark hours of the night by my
neighbors. It is remarkable
how generous one’s -neighbors
can be when it comes to giving
away cats.
One of the meanest tricks 1
ever had played on me was play-
ed by a “yaller" eyed cuss who
posed as my friend during the
day and loaded up my front yard
with cats at the dark hours of
the night, and it was by the
merest accident that I caught on
to his base trick. If came about
in this way: One night while at
supper my wife informed me
that we had about seventeen cats
and half grown kittens, more
than we had any immediate use
for. and asked me to quietly
convey a sackful of them, after
dark, to the outer edge of town.
Wo succeeded in rounding up
about fifty pounds of cats and
kittens, which we put in an onl
sack, and under the cover of
darkness f went forth to glad-
den the hearts of those who had
no cats. I had not proceeded
very far before a happy idea
struck me. and I decided to at
once put this idea into practical
op-ration, and immediately
changing my course I made a
bee line for flic house of the
"yaller” eyed friend referred to.
1 poured the contents of the
sack out into the corner of my
friend’s yard, threw the sack on
the porch and squalled out
‘CATS,’’ and then run for home
as hard as J could go. The mis

seems that when I threw the J such as digging tish bait for the
sock on the porch and yelled market, washing dishes and
"CATS,” it caused our neigh- j teaching a brood of motherless
bortoeome out onto his porch I chicks to scratch for hugs and

ovents, that he found the sack cused of murder. Nevertheless
