The Centre Reporter S—— CENTRE HALL. PA THE CAY. From the standpoint of utility, ex. cept In so far as decorativeness is atility, not much can be said for the Average cat these days. The cat en- Joys its privileges without greatly con- cerning itself with the responsibilities. And In point of fact, its services in most houses would be superfluous. The mousetrap now does for most households what the cat formerly did. Nor 1s the cat particularly distin- guished by the affection for its mas ter which is so conspicuous In the dog, its sole domestic rival for the warm spot under the kitchen stove. If you will note the cat carefully, you will observe that it usually wants something of you when it comes around. None of its calls are courtesy calls. The arched back and the “mew-mew"” are eloquent of its de- sires. If it does not receive these marks of attention and falls to find anything else that interests it, say, a nice warm spot (n your lap to take a doze on, the cat moves majestically and indifferently away. Your person- ality has no particular charm for it It admires the radiator more than it does you. These characteristic symp toms of self-centeredness and grave detachment are reinforced by the eyes of the cat. A cat's eyes look at you, but they seem to be looking beyond you. They zre like the eyes of the caged lon, which always seem to be seeing the distant desert that it loves and that is calling to it by night and day. From year to year theme have come reports of the increase of deer in Con- necticut which western people have found it difficult to believe Last year there were complaints that the pro tected animals were destroying far mers’ crops. This year comes the story that the Connecticut game war dens have given warning that motor men on interurban electric cars must exercige the utmost care not to run down deer which happen to get upon the track, or they will be made to incur the full penalty of the law for killing deer out of season.
