Uncle Dick and Lisa's Old Time Animal Tales

     Punxsutawney, Pa., July 20.-An old cat’s mother love was greater than her aversion to water. Under the rear porch of Mr. and Mrs. C. K. McCartney’s house is an old abandoned well. The water is sixteen feet below the ground surface and is several feet deep.

     While the mother cat was watching one of her kittens play another little toddler gave a “yip” as it tumbled into the well. The old cat heard the “S. O. S.” of her offspring, tore under the porch and without any hesitation jumped into the well, sixteen feet below. In a couple of minutes she came from under the porch dragging the wet kitten by the scuff of the neck.
