Uncle Dick and Lisa's Old Time Animal Tales

Because the students of the Kansas University, at Lawrence, are stealing all the cats they find loose in the town for dissection in the zoology classes the people of the city have applied to the state authorities for assistance. They demand that the state furnish the cats to the university and that cats be sent to the school that are not family pets and are not considered valuable.
The city of Lawrence has been made almost destitute of cats and kittens during the last few weeks. Six hundred cats are used for dissection in the zoology class during the spring terms. Heretofore it has never been possible to get enough cats for the class work. This year the university authorities offered as a prize that each cat that was brought to the laboratories the student should be allowed one “cut” from his classes.
One student has already brought in sixty cats, and he has enough “cuts” allowed him to give him two holidays each week until the end of the term, and he has a few to sell to other students by simply giving them the cats which he captures.
