CATNIP SPREE

4 story comes from Brooklyn. to
the effect that a new remedy for cat
concerts has been discovered. and
strange TO say. it is as agreeable
to the cats as to the audience
Heretofore broken glass bottles on
the top CT the wall, shotguns and
other offensive means have been
used TO drive away the feline per
former. and generally their success
has been limited.
There was block or Brooklyn

stayed at Rome this summer have
been unable 10 sleep en- account Of

and other noises indescribable in

decided TO do something about it.
but the question was, what?
some OF the people wanted TO have
the cats chloroformed. but it was
ironically suggested that they might
come back TO live out their other
eight lives in their old home, and
that live cat was at any rate bet
ter than the intangible ghost CT a
cat Perhaps. however. the real
reason may have been that the in
dignation meeting feared the wrath
OF absent neighbo-s should il be
discovered that the pets Of various
families had been murdered on ac-
count Of their innocent songs. How
ever that may be, the determination
plan was vetoed. Broken bottles
and nails and things are all very
well On fences. but one cannot cover
a whole tin roof with them. Finally
an old lady suggested catnip. The
neighbors tried it. Trey sprinkIed
a quantity Of catnip in each back
yard. The result is said TO have
been a gorgeous catnip spree for the
cats. and entire relief for the neigh
borhood but it Is feared that when
the absent ones come back in the
autumn and find that the household

And DER the land deep hush lay,
Have you forget that autumn day?
A seabird eircled overhead,
The trees dropped silken leaves of

A few late blooms their glory spread
While time sped by with mufled
tread.
