There used to be a story of the Presidentsfather, who was a man of rare strength and lov-ableness of character, telling how one day, goingto a meeting of the Chamber of Commerce, hefound a little kitten some thoughtless boys hadworried, and, carefully wrapping it in his hand-kerchief, put it in his pocket and carried it withhim to the meeting and back to his home, whereit was safe.
