Edgar Province has lost his
big tomcat. Handsome and
dignified old Jiggs, whom ev

from his own fireside, although
he did go off on a quiet bat at
long intervals deupite his se
date years, Mr. Province has
hunted for him far and wide
without result and has come to
believe that the ancient feline
has answered the last grim call
of nature. If such is indeed the
case, Jiggs’ many friends hope
that he now sojourns in some
spiritual cat Valhalla where
spiritual mice will provide him
with everlasting amusement j
and cats may yowl from back-;
fences without danger of miss- j
iles from irate humans who j
cannot appreciate the delights j
of broadcasting love-longings i
in the romance-stirring light of
the moon. *
