PROMPT

ON CATNIP BUSHES.
A STRANGE CAT-ASTEOPHE.
A Judge's Expcrlenen with
Four Dozen Odoriferous Cat
nip Bashes for His Bab-.
The Hon. Charles H. Toll, of Den
ver, has had an exciting experience.
For two years he was Attorney-General
of Colorado, and it was near the
close of his administration which,
by the way, was characterized by
lingular probity and ability that a
son was born to him. One day the
nurse came to Judge Toll, and said:
"The baby has been ailing for a
week ; we ought to do something for
him." Judge Toll thrust his hand
down into his pocket and pulled out
a fifty-dollar bill. "Get him what
he needs, and if that isn't enough
I'll give you a check for my whole
bank account." The nurse shook
her head. "What he needs," said
she, "is a simple remedy, a mild
tonic. Now, I was brought up down
East, and I was taught the efficacy
of catnip tea. I know of no better
stimulant for an ailing babe."
"We'll buy a ton of catnip," said
Judge Toll. "It can't be bought
here in Colorado vou'li have to
send East for it." "So Judge Toll
telegraphed that very day to Boston
for the wholesome herb. In about a
week four dozen healthy catnip
hushc3 arrived from Massachusetts,
and Judge Toll was the happiest
man in Arapahoe County. "We'll
plant them in the front" yard," he
said, "so when the baby get3 sick
we'll have a nice lot of fresh catnip
on hand for him." Accordingly the
four dozen catnip bushps were
planted in rows in the front yard of
the Toll estate on Welton Street.
In a day or two their fragrance be
gan to permeate the circumambient
atmosphere. Old Uncle Seth Cooley
came down from his place on Capital
Hiil and leaned over the front fence
"and gazed tenderly at the odorifer
ous herbs, and said: "Wa'll, now,
I'll be gosh, darned if this doesn't re
mind me of old New England. Our
home place down to Pelham, close
on to Shutesbury Plum Trees, was
evcrlastin' full o' catnip. Say, Jedge,
gi' me a'bookay o' them, will ye?"
Naturally, Judge Toll was very
proud of his catnip garden, but one
night he was awakened from his
pleasant slumbers by ;i frightful
noise in the front yard. It seemed
to him as if the sluiceways of sheol
had been opened upon that once fair
spot. He slipped into his trowsers,
and peered out of the window. Cats !
Cats ! Ten thousand of the creatures
purring, yowling, howling, rolling,
stretching, and crooning over those
catnip bushes!
There were cats of all color, size,
sex, condition, breeding, habits, and
manners; black, white, yellow,
tabby, maltose, brindle, tortoise-shell,
striped, speckled, crushed straw
beny, maroon, gamboge, cats big,
little, fat, gaunt, one-eyed, stump
tailed, toothless, hoarse, lame cats
a confused, seething mass of these
motley felines, all purring and roll
ing ameng: the catnip bushes. Nor
was this all.
By the clear moonlight Judge
Toll could see thousands and thou
sands of other cats hastening hither.
They were coming down from the
mountains from Leadville, Crested
Butte, Georgetown, Central City,
Manitou. Aspen, Idaho, Boulder,
Longmont everywhere the foot
bills wore alive with them, and they
wero headed toward the one local
point, that catnip bed. On the east
another multitude of cats swept in
from the arid plains of Kansas from
Deer trail, from Monotonv Water
Tank, and the desert solitudes of tho
eastern confines of Colorado. Some
came over tho Kansas PaciGc, others
over the Burlington, while from tho
north there was wafted a din that
betokened that another army of cats
was on its way from Cheyenne.
It was an astounding spectacle
nay.it was prodigious. et Judge
Toll understood it all yes, in a mo
ment the whole truth flashed upon
him. These cats had lived all those
years far from the influences of civil
ization, and had never been able to
enjoj' the advantages of the herb
that is essential to the symmetry of
the feline nature. They'had heard
what catnip was, but they had never
tasted nor whiffed any. What a
revelation Judge Toll's front yard
must have been to them! With
what celerity they availed themselves
of the boon when the breezes bore
the perfume of those catnip bushes
to their mountain and prairie homes!
His unerring shotgun was at hand,
but Judge Toll had not the heart to
interrupt their pleasure the won
drous carnival of cats was permitted
to proceed undisturbed all that night
among the catnip bushes.
When Judge Toll went out to the
yard next morning, not a vestige of
thoso fair herbs was visible, nor was
there a cat to be seen, but, scattered
here and there on the despoiled turf,
an occasional eye, a truant bit of an
ear, a casual quarter section of a tail,
or a desultory tuft of hair, gave pa
thetic evidence to the tragedy which
had been enacted over the last few
relics of that once smiling garden.

An old woman a few days since
approached a stand on which was
' displayed several large tubs of but
ter. She took a nickel from her
. purse and, making a scoop through
the butter, tested what she gathered
on the coin, after which the follow
ing conversation took place :
"Is that fresh butter?"
" Yes, ma'am."
"Country?"
"No, ma'am; tub."
"What's it worth?"
" Twenty-five cents per pound.
" Have you anything better?"
"Yes, ma'am; here you are
thirty cents."
Tasting it and shaking her head
doubtfully, she said :
" Havc'you any other kind?"
"Yes, ma'am; here is some for
fifteen cents per pound."
" Give me a quarter of a pound,
please?" said the woman. The
dealer recovered sufficiently to com
ply with the demand.
