DUFFY VS.. THE CATS.
Prosecuting Attorney Declares War on
Johnny Horns Feline Tribe.

ooHhhy EclInc
John H. Duffy VS.. Johnny Horns
cats: application for restraining Or
der" That is. an entry that may go
upon the records of the district court
shortly.
Between Prosecuting Attorney Duffy
and Johnny Horns cats state of war
exists. The approach of this band,
herd or bunch Of cats upon the borders
of the Duffy territory, singly, in pairs,
In commands or in armored trains, is
the signal for the commencement of Il
battle beside which the battle of
Efandslaagte pales into insignificance.
Bootjacks, garden tools, law books, any
old thing handy, are heaved at the in
truding felines, who usually flee. Their
warfare is of the guerrilla kind. If Mr.
Duffy could only get them all together
in one place there would be general
massacre. Because he can't he is
wroth He would like to adopt Wey-
ler's reconcentrado plan but the cats
will not stay still anywhere long
enough to be corralled.
And because of his failure to abate
the nuisance, the dignified prosecuting
attorney, in his despair, is thinking Of
calling upon the courts.
The epicurean tastes of Johnny
Horns cats are the cause of the war.
1t should be known that the reserva-
ton of the cats is close to the Duffy
cised all her housewifely skill in the
preparation Of a pudding that would
melt In the mouth of her liege lord
1t was a dream of cookery, a dainty,
toothsome dish, sweet savored and de-
licious. Upon the back stoop it was
placed to cool.
Happening by the back yard Mr..
Duffy saw the Johnny Horn cats gath,
cred about dish upon the stoop.
D Johnny Horns CATS remarked
the prosecuting attorney why don't
he keep his cats home and feed them
himself? I see what makes my butcher
bill so big
Then he went in the house and sat
down to dine. What have you got for
dessert?" he asked his wife.
"a pudding. John" was the reply.
Where is it?'
"On the back stoop"
Mr. Duffy paled. His fingers ner-
vously clutched the table cloth.
Bring it In" he commanded hoarse-
ly. "a Micks always got to see his
whole dinner before him" Mrs. Duffy
went to comply with his demand
An empty dish, a scream, a tear!
That was all.
Then the war began.
