For an answer to this | shall be very appreciative, Very, re ‘Spectfully, A KIRKLAND READER, It pains us exceedingly to be unible to an- Swer our anxious Kirkland friend from any save a very limited intimacy with wildcats. Thus far, the wildcat has been rather, remote from = our sphere. Our experience has been largely confined to and cramped by relations with wild politicians, wild poets and wild competitors, and it would be a pleasant and far from an onerous task to tell what made them wild, but only on very rare occasions has the wildcat taken any conspicuous part in our editorial career that we remember. However, there’s no reader who shall come to this fount of knowledge and go away athirst and unmoistened, and so we show what makes a wildcat wild by the following incident: One time, at the age of 16 years, we bor- rowed an absent-minded neighbor's best coon dog and went after coon down in the urban depths of Portage county, Ohio. We were clad in one straw hat, one calico shirt, one pair of uncle’s home- spun pants, and woodchuck skin moccasins, the latter fine protection against chestnut burs and that long, sharp, ribbony grass that gets between your toes and cuts like blazes, We were young.

Years had previously been spent by a $2.50 nurse girl to educate us in ghost stories, There were queer, creepy, groany noises in the tree trunks and feace corners. “We sat on the top rail of the fence and told dhe dog to go into the black, black woods and get some coon. Pretty soon the dog began howling and running in a circle. There was a how! with every jump, with the jumps coming thicker and taster. Lord! we there and-shook the whole fence with excitement! Oh, the joy of hunting, running down, cor nering, killing! In 15 minutes Towser bayed “treed,” and we felt our way through the dark woods to him, He was whooping it up before a blacker-than black hole in a big stump. He would not enter that hole. We took him neck and tail and pushed him in, That was one of the things that make a wild cat wild. In one second that hound was emitting yells of spiritual anguish that would have been fine samples for Dante to imagine. For one breath- less moment—mayhap not so long—we tarried to get fully posted. The next breathless moment, we were streaking it for Uncle Kitchel Pixley’s barn, hen-coop, smoke-house, corn-crib, anything that might come first, and all the way the circum- ambient air behind us was filled with hound and cat at their loudest.

Dear Kirkland Reader, poking a dog into a wildcat’s den makes a wildcat wild. We don’t know what you're going to do with a_ wildcat but you needn't be puzzled longer. Our plan makes ‘em wild, perfectly wild, unreasonably wild, FIGHTING WINDMILLS ail strongest endorsement of the McBride milk ordinance yet offered was that given by the dairymen, themselves, Saturday night at the Com mercial Club, when they passed a resolution urg- ing the council to put it thru. Funny, isn’t it, how part of the council holds out? The big civic organizations, representing the till citizens, have strongly endorsed McBride’s stand. Some of the biggest milk authorities in the countr have warned the councilmen of its necessity. And now, the dairymen have gone on record, saying they, too, want it If they don’t pass it now, they'll remind us, somehow, of Don Quixote, fighting windmills.
