Democratic Sentinel, Volume 9, Number 15, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 8 May 1885 — The Festive Cat. [ARTICLE]

The Festive Cat.

The cat sings on the fence. The cat is sad. You can tell that from the song it sings. Cats sing most when they are most sad. The boy hears the cat and is sad too. The boy has a toy gun. He thinks if he could shoot the cat it would make it less sad. Kind boy! At least it would make it sing less. The boy hides behind the bush and shoots. Has he shot the cat ? No, he has shot his pa. How his pa howls! He is the sad one now. But the hoy will be sad soon. Will he be spanked? You bet your uttermost picayune he will—spanked till he is blue.—Minneapolis Tribune.
