TO say the least, were antagonistic TO
the canons Of the church. Notwithstand-

being frowned upon by the archbishop
Of the diocese the congregation was
nobly supporting their pastor in the posi-
ton he had taken. Among his most
earnest supporters was an elderly Irish
man, who was confined constantly 10 his
home by rheumatism.
One day he sent his son TO see the
dignitary Of the church in regard 10 the
troubles that had been caused by the,
doctrines the priest had promulgated.
After a lengthy interview the son return

father the results Of the conference.
Among other things he remarked that the
archbishop had said most emphatically
that the priest would have 10 go II he

fence crawlers, backyard bawIers, rat
trap trailers, hallway howlers. yellow
striped yowlers, breakfast GROWERS, and
all were calling for catnip. Old Father
Busch. despite his fright resolved they
should not have any of the catnip, which
he intended TO sell for his breakfast He
clasped the herb to his bosom and kicked
out vigorously. But the congregation Of
cats was not to be bluned by Kicks. The
cats surrounded Father Busch, and one
gave him vicious scratch. sim he would
not let go of the catnip. By way OF
sop TO Cerberus, he picked out a little
piece of catnip and threw 1t among the
congregating cats. 1t was snapped up at
a bite, and the hungry cats were at him
for more. Then, as If they had IL pre-
arranged, all together made a rush at the
PROSTATE old man. Such a snarling and
scratching was never seen or heard before
In Williamsburgh. The cats struggled 10
get at the catnip, while the old man kick
ed with his feet and struck out with his
fists AS the cats were nimble, he did no
harm. He finally found voice enough TO cry
for help A policeman heard his appeal
and hurried to the rescue He shooed the
cats away with his night stick and lifted
old Father Busch TO his feet. The old
peddler stil had his catnip. The police
man wanted him TO throw 1t 10 the cats,
but he refused and was led of TO the
station bearing the catnip with MIN. The
cats followed at a distance until the
policeman charged them with his stick
again when they went slowly back to
their homes.

In this age Of retreuchment and curtail-

ask why the tract of between eight and
nine acres almost under the dome Of the
Capitol. where the land is worth at least 50
a square foot cannot be sold and the money
turned into the treasury, or the land used
as a building site for the new buildings
which are constantly being erected in the

This. however, is a paternal government.
