of the arrival here six years ago of

the Leon B. Hasklns household. -
Ssssy la of tbe Manx breed, which
produces bob-tails and six-toed feet
Instead of the normal five. Sassy,
herself, has a long tall, but has be
queathed to the world Innumerable
kittens with mere stumps. During
her six years here, Sassy has pro
duced sn average of approximately a
dozen kittens a year, which adds
up to an Impressive number of prog

Among most famed of her descend
