VEGETABLE MINT JULEP
SENDS CAT ON A "T00T"
Special to The Herald.


LA JOLLi. Feb. 2S.---Col y. Tremen,
the well-known resident Of this place,
who attained considerable national
prominence last summer by grating a
strange plant which produced the true
ambrosial nectar, has again entered the
limelight with a remarkable feline
which he associates with his wonderful
botanical production of last summer.
The cat, q large bob-tailed gray
which he calls Julius Caesar, like other
cats, occasionally feels ill., and for re-
lief goes to the nearest catnip bed to be
cured of his ills.
Now. it happens that Colonel Tre-
mems bed of bartender plants adjoins
the catnip, and by some mistake the
cat began to nibble at the joy-produc-
ing bush. In short time the mystic
bush's potent influence began to assert
itself Julius began to act as IL an
other Brutus had stabbed--or shot
him. In little while he was fighting
with all the cats in the neighborhood
and when he returned to the Tremen
home he was somewhat the worse for
wear. Colonel Tremen, although rather
provoked at the havoc the beast caused,
could not help exulting over the feline
recommendation of the merits Of his
bush.

to leave his prison. For a time he
did not go near the saloons, but in
fit of melancholy the trick animal
went on a spree and for three days
and nights did not return home.
When he was finally located sucking
cider through a straw MIR. Plummer
lost no time in communicating With
the Dwight institution, with the result
that Gyp was sent north by express
this afternoon. The cure, IL effectual,

BIG CAT MAKES FRIENDS
WITH DENlZENS OF POND
Special to The Herald.


BITTEN, Ohio, Feb 23.-One of the
most remarkable instances of animal
friendships ever known in these parts
comes from w. e. Fueem, n farmer
living twenty-three miles from this
city In addition to his well stocked
farm Of cattle, horses, poultry and dogs,
Mr., Fuelem takes especial pride In his
maltese cats and also in large clear
water lake which he has stocked with
various kinds of fish,
Recently MIR. Fuelem found the re-
main of several large trout lying about
the farm, all of them partly eaten, and
he suspected that the maltese had dis
covered the finny denizens of the pond.
For while the depredations continued.
but he could not discover any of the
cats in the act and so could not take
preventive measures. But a week ago
they ceased as suddenly as they had
begun.
Mystified at the strange case, Mr..
Fuelem took a day off to watch the
pond and see the "why" of the strange
proceedings. His efforts were rewarded
this afternoon when he saw his large
tomcat, Jumbo. dive into the pool and
play around with the fish with the ut
most freedom. The sagacious brute had
discovered some catfish in the waters
and had decided to make peace with
the fish by cumming with them.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.-Under a
rule recommended from the committee
on rules by Mr.. Dalzell of Pennsyl-
vana the house today amended its
substitute for the La Toilette sixteen
hour railroad employees bill by an af-
firmative vote of 279, there being no
negative votes cast, Both Republic

amendments made to the bill strength
ened 1t greatly and that 1t would be
satisfactory to the president.
The most important amendment
adopted by the house is the elimina~

It occurs, which has the effect of re-
lieving the railroads of responsibility
for overwork. unless it is permitted
or required with the knowledge of rail-
road management that an employe has

NEW CONTRIBUTIONS

Yesterday might be called "beach

paign Quite unannounced two women
of nearby beach towns turned $1,000
each into the fund. The first came
in the morning, when Mrs. Adelaide
Tichenor, Long Beach club woman and
social leader, called on the general
secretary, Miss latham, and inquired
about the progress of the campaign.
After expressing her interest in the
success of the project she quietly an
nounced her desire to give $1,000 toward
the building. Coming unsolicited as it
did, this contribution was received with
great appreciation.
Another $1,000 came in the afternoon
in almost the same way This time the
gift was from Venice, Mrs. Mary A.
Shipman being the donor. Mrs Ship
man is 81 years of age, and she sent
her contribution through her daughter,

CLovERPoRT. KY, Feb 29.-Wes-
ley Plummer's rat terrier "Gyp" Is to
go to Dwight al, to take the Jag
cure. Sounds like a prevarication,
doesn't IT, but It's true, and the story
is too remarkable TO be hushed up,
even though Mr.. Plummer feels the
disgrace keenly and would fain Keep
It out of the public prints.
GYMS fondness for liquor was ac-
uuired in a remarkable way. When
the dog was a mere puppy Mr.. Plum
mer taught him a number of trlcks,
and finally, after a years work, Gyp
was able to tur:. a flipflop In the air,
stand on his head, dance a twostep
and give a good imitation of fellow
who had imbibed too freely.
Several stories we're sent to the
metropolitan papers concerning Gyp's
wonderful tricks and offers galore
came to Mr.. Plummer for the dog, but
he refused to set a price.
Finally, in q spirit of fun, a friend
of Mr. Plummer decided to reward the
performer one day after he had gone
through his numerous tricks in local
saloon. A glass of beer ,Jas placed
before him and to the surprise of those
in the place Gyp Tapped up the con-
IeIlIS anu WdBBGu boii iOh 'iiS'S
and of course he got it. After several
rounds of drinks the animal started
for home in dazed manner, but Mr..
Plummer was ignorant of the affair,
and not until he happened to enter a
saloon one day and catch Gyp in the
act of being a "good fellow" did he
surmise that his trick dog had been
going the pace that kills.
Goes on Spree
AS he walked in Gyp finished a
schooner of beer and stepping back
from the bar turned three handsprings
to earn another one.
OF course Mr.. Plunmer was sur
prised, but after his surprise had left
him and the bartender explained that
Gyp was one of his best customers
Mr.. Plummer was indignant.
Taking Gyp home he decided that
the animal would not be allowed his
liberty again, and for weeks the
terrier was kept in the house. Even
