Roof Playground for Cats.
When the Morris Refuge, of Philadelphia, Pa., was remodeled several years ago, the thought that the haven for homeless animals would have a roof garden never entered the minds of the officers. But now there is a recreation ground on top of the building.[Pg 57]
Here dozens of cats, safe from humans, safe from fatal contact with hard substances thrown by outraged citizens, and safe from their natural enemy, the dog, pass their lives in quiet.
The entire roof of the institution is caged in with poultry wire. One end is covered. The cats play with gum balls, roll in beds of seductive catnip, and in general lead happy, peaceful lives.
Woman Sticks in Gangplank.
If Señora Rosalie Gonzales, who has a plantation in Guatemala, makes any more ocean voyages, gangplanks may have to be enlarged. The señora admitted sixty years and 310 pounds. She came to New York to purchase a wardrobe, the supply of finery being limited in Guatemala just now. Going aboard the United Fruit liner Sixola, she fell on the gangplank and became wedged so she could not get up. A carpenter cut away part of the rail.
