Show CAT IN A PIPE ORGAN. Unusual Experience of a Hotel Cat In a Muilc Dox. A few nights ago, when the big aeo-lian aeo-lian at the Great Northern Wgan its usual evening programme it didn't seem to work just right, says the Chicago Chi-cago Chronicle. The aeoliau was doing its level best to play the wedding march from "Lohengrin," but made an awful mess of it. The first strain, which everybody remembers re-members goes "Ruru-ium-te-tum," was followed by "meouw-wow-ow." All the crowd looked up at the organ and trie7 to locate the spot where the unusual accompaniment ac-companiment came from. The next strain of the anarch was followed by a screeching yowl that was heard clear up to the G floor. People at dinner dropped their knives and forks and . looked nervously at each other end then at the doors and windows. Just as the third yell came out of the aeolian Proprietor Eden was seen on the second floor stealthily moving toward the instrument in-strument with a ladder in his hand. Mr. Eden crept up close to the aeolian and listened for a moment. Then he put his ladder against the right side and s!owly made his way to the top. When he r;ct up he reached over and put his hand down inside of the E flat pipe. There were no results at first. Then he stood "on tiptoe and shoved his arni to the shoulder down the mculh of the pipe. Then followed a terrible yowling and scratching, but the colonel pulled and with a noise like the departure of a tight cork from the neck of a beer bottle bot-tle he pulled the hotel cat out of the pipe and carried it down to the baggage bag-gage room, where it belongs. |
