Microbes and Cate.

A Chicago man is organizing to km off the cats. He Is a doctor, and he gives as a reason for his murderous intent that the cats’ whiskers are the roosting place of numerous unsightly and terrifying microbes, , .ready to pounce upon their victim at the first chance. In order to expedite the massacre of the felines the doctor has Invented a sort of gibbet trap, which is s»ld to terminate the cat In the most painless manner. The doctor is now being assailed on every . side, especially by the women, who have token, the cat tribe to heart. We do not expect this man’s microbe scare will result in the death of a single cat People are getting tired 1 of microbe scares. There are too many of them. If they run from all! the microbes that are discovered they; will keep on the run. A person should know how to live—how to keep clean, pure, temperate, brave; hopeful, and then snap his fingers at the microbes, especially those on the cat’s whiskers.
