I Tho French statesman was seated at his desk writing the first king touch es to a new law which was highly favorable to King Louis XIII, and which the king had already decided to veto. The Cardinal’s cat, whose name, unfortunately, has been lost to posterity, was curled up asleep on the long, flowing sleeves of his mas ter’s court robe when an officer ar rived to announce the audience with the king. Rather than ddtsturb his pet, the Cardinal cut off the silk sleeve of his robe and appeared thus before his ruler and the nobles of the court of France. Tie astounded Louis demanded urination of his premier's uncourt- appearance, and the statesman ex' plained the situation. The King of France replied, “If ifis Eminence the Cardinal de Richeleue is so solicitous of the com fort of his cat, surely he must have at heart the welfare of the people of France. The new law shall receive my signature.” Thus a cat was responsible for the llaw of an empire.
