THE CONQUERING KITTEN
An attractive pen picture by Arthur Guiterman about a kitten. The kltteu observed, “I am two-sevenths grown And ought to establish a home of my own. My mother has taught me my duty, and that's To nick out a household that doesn’t like cats.” Then forth went the kitten, though not very far, And came to a house where the door was ajar; She entered, by no exclamations deterred. Rubbed up on the first human ankle and purred ; Then, seemingly taking her welcome as certain, She pounced on a ball and she played with a curtain, She tumbled, curveted, and ran little races, Exhibiting all of her wlnsomcst graces: And last, with a kitten's engaging persistence Attacking the line of the greatest resistance, Walked up to the man who looked stubbornly grim And curled In the lap appertaining to him. So now in that household, the home of her dream, The kitten Is living on chicken and cream.
