A Scottish clergyman had a parishioner who was a. rabid politician with distinct democratic leanings. One day when the parson called he was informed of an interesting event that had happened in the household, the parishioner’s cat having produced a nice litter' of kittens. “And do you think they’ll bo interested in politics, John?” “ Deed, yes, sir, they’re Conservatives.” The parson was surprised.
