Uncle Dick and Lisa's Old Time Animal Tales

The is a certain cat of clerical associations and impeccable social standing who swims like a fish, and what is more, appears to enjoy it like any duckling. A Pug dog in the family seems to think the performance unnatural, and whenever the cat goes down to take his bath the pug follows, showing every sign of jealousy when visitors applaud and express surprise. The other day Master Pug could stand it no longer; he, too, took a plunge, and in a few moments, having reached puss, seized the creature by the throat and hold her head under water until life was nearly extinct. Fortunately, some one saw the deed and rushed to the rescue, but even this painful experience has failed to deter the cat from taking her favorite amusemant.-Boston Herald.
