Show Story of an Intelligent Cat. A New Hampshire physician sends me the following cat story, for which he vouches: ,. "Among other queer tricks Dick will take off my glasses very carefully with his paw, hold them with one claw and survey them with great apparent interest. "The first time he did this was one night when he had been napping and I reading. He is a great pet, and going to him I bent over, without indicating by any motion my meauing, and said gently: " 'Dick, if you want to go to bed take off my glasses.' "He immediately reached up a paw and took them off as defty as though it were an old habit. Thinking this a 'happen so' I put them on and made the same request in different words, with precisely the same result. After one more repetition he yawned and plainly intimated that was enough."
