»igood manners; these theorists' say, for MONDAY EVENING TO TINKER WITH YOUR CARBURETORY jj TEMP , JUNE 6, 1921 CAT DELIVERED ITS MESSAGE | Battle-Scarred Feline Proved It at Least Had the Courage of Its | Convictions. | — I The other night I saw a clever cat. } He sat on the feice in the moonlight, | all alone, writes a correspondent of the Boston Herald. He looked up at the moon and opened his mouth. I braced myself for what I believed to be coming, namely, his effort at self- expression. But no, this was a clever cat. Like O. Henry, he dealt in clever surprises. In his attitude there was something of suspense. My waiting | nervous system felt the strain of it. Then he gave voice to a great silence. | He said nothing in a dramatic way. With a self-satisfied smirk on his pussy face he jumped off the fence gracefully and disappeared into the | night. He was a clever cat. He did | the unexpected in an original and artistic way. He annoyed me, for he failed to live up to'my conception of cats, yet I felt a certain admiration | for him. | The :next night another cat sat on the fence. This was a great cat, though his appearance was far from prepossessing. He-was scrawny, and his coat bore, all too plainly, the scars of many a “foughten field.” The di-| vine light of unrest burned in his eyes. -He threw back: his head and poured out his very soul in vigorous | expression, sincere and-earnest, though unappreciated. Nothing. daunted by the lack of applause, or by the shower of missiles directed. at. his scarred| person, he gave full vent to his mes-; sage In a form which, though uncon- ventional, seemed best to fit his muse. | Then, with an air of utter abandon, he shook: the dust of the fence from lils uniconcerned feet dnd disappeared. |’ “This,” thought I, my ears still ring-| ing, “was truly a great cat. He had| a message and he gave it. Let the world receive it or reject it as it wilL” b First Use of Kerosene. About the middle of the Nineteenth century kerose.~ was used in lamps | instead of whale oil, lard, olive oil or some other such oil. The change was the result of the development of the wells iu the United States. —_— i Revolving Door Etiquette. The etiquette of the revolving door has yet to be standardized. At pres- ent there are two schools of opinion on the subject. One holds that when a man and » woman appreach a re- volving door it is the man’s place to | go first, pushing the door slowly so | as to allow his partner to follow In | the next compartment without any ef- | fort on her part. The other contends thut ladies first still holds sway. It is the man to step aside, let the womin start the door revolving, and. then | jump into”*the ‘compartmnent behind ber. In this way, it is contended, the man may assume control of the door and guide it until the woman ahead of him is safely out. - The bitterest rivalry prevails between the two schools.—Argonaut.
