CATS FOR THE ARMY.
Greatest Among: Them Is “The Colo
nel,” Father of Gen. Merritt’*
Felines for Manila.
Gen. Merritt took with him vrhen he
mailed for Manila three cats, active and
youthful children of “The Colonel,'*
the ancient but able guardian of
the commissary depot in Jessie
street. The kitties were sent to the
general on a requisition to the gov
ernment from him for that number
of mice catchers. It is not generally
known, but it is a fact none the less,
that the United States annually pur
chases large numbers of cats for use

Philippines.)
in the great storehouses of the army
and navy. “The Colonel” and his fam
ily are well fed and eared for by the
authorities in the commissary depart
ment. Not long ago a new attache
went out and got a terrier for experi- r
ment. Soon afterward the terrier was
found by three large rodents badly
scarred and wounded, while “The
Colonel” stood guard over five and had
not a scratch to speak of his vastly
superior victory. The terrier was
shipped. Cats are liberally used on
all the ships of the navy, and often are
the caues of preventing very serious
interference by rats with the machin
ery. “The Colonel’s” long and faith
ful career in the army has won him in
numerable friends, who look forward
to a hale and happy old age for their
feline friend. It is the government’s
need of cats that causes “cat meat”
