A well-known Napier resident famed for his benevolence and belief in the kindliness of human nature, had that belief rudelv shattered the other day, when he accosted, in Napier -South, a small bov who was crying most.bitterly (relates the “Telegraph”). Inquiries as to the cause of the tears elicited the information that a family of kittens hitherto domiciled at the lad’s home, had all been drowned bv his mother. The benevolent resident beamed at the manner in which his faith in the milk of human kindness had been thus justified hut his satisfaction died when the lad added. "You see, mister, mother promised me I.could do the drowning.”
