Little Gladys 'Sehultz, of jjgjnville, Indiana, lias n pet eat of which she is, very fond, and which is always at her' feet or around near her. Miss Gladys is about ten years old, and is very assiduous in practising her music lessons on the piano wheu she is not in school. While this is going on the pet cat, Cottie, is either at her side or purring around at her feet. Jt seems to like the idea of the music, and will oftentimes sit with undivided attention on a chair by the girl's side watching the movement of the girl's fingers along the keyboard.
After leaving the room a few days ago with the cat sitting on a chair, Gladys came back shortly to lind Collie sitting on the piano stool trying to imitate her example and play on the instrument. The cat would strike the keys with her paws and seemed delighted at the effect of the tones produced, repeating it sc"eral times, to the delight of Mrs. Srhnitz ami Gladys, 'who were looking on. Since that time it has become a frequent occurrence for Collie to climb on the piano stool and give vent lo her feelings in music.
