In Little Old New York
BY NORMAN

East-side a couple of afternoons
ago, and he had it. There are al
most as many cats in New York as
there are people, on the East-side
particularly. This unknown per-
son bought, or stole. or begged,
about half pound of powdered cat
nip and scattered it in the roadway
at Houston and Lewis streets.
The cats came rushing from
every direction. There were a doz-
en-, then there were two score, then
there were a hundred, then they
couldn't be counted.
They rolled, and howled, and
yowled and wriggled. They rubbed
delighted noses in the catnip, they
lay down and wallowed IN uncon-
scious joy. They fell over each
other. Past feuds were forgotten,
and bitter enemies grewled side by
side.
People flocked to the scene, ana
laughed themselves tired watching
the fool cats. Policemen came, and
couldn't figure on who to arrest.
IL was more than an hour before
the orgy was over and the last
shamefaced Thomas had crept away
to sleep off his jag.

year. On cabinet days he is u.s.
ually the first to breeze into the
white house. For, cabinet days or
not cabinet days. these are the
days when Mr.. Ballinger is ON the
jump.
The reason for this is, it's Mr..
Ballinger's move just now.
Ballinger is a worried man. He
looks and acts it. 1t is said that he
has actually wept over the scrape
he got himself into by his attempt
to conserve the country's resource
full land looters. Still, there's a gilt
ter of hope in his eye. He has great
faith in calcimine.
From the curbstone it looks as if
willing hands may direct the
"whitewash" spray, but the sprayee
mustn't stand still, like a barn and
take only one side of the stream.
He must be on the move.

However, being on the move is

Along toward noon on cabinet
meeting days the secretary of war
steps in swiftly. The next one per-
haps will be the secretary of COM
merce and labor, who does not have
to walk SO fast because he takes
longer steps. Then, maybe, Philan-
der G. Knox treads in with his own
peculiar gait. He is suave, and bows
and smiles, although without halt
ing. His troubles are as none be-
side those Of Ballinger. Comes
also Jas. Wilson of Tama county,
Iowa, who is bent only by years,
and not very perceptibly at that.
Franklin MacVeagh hurries in, but
he has only the nations bank roll to
ponder over. Wickersham comes
miling-beamfng, in fact. Frank
H. Hitchcock hastens along, also,
his pinkish brows knit over the
postal deficit-or perhaps the
patronage question. The secretary
Of the navy arrives and disappears.

NEW YORK, Feb. 11.-You can
believe this or not, as you like, but
it's true. 1t happened on AID street,
near Eighth avenue. on a recent
mild afternoon.
A stout gentleman with a red
face, standing on box, got a crowd
around him with an Grafton about
the present high prices of meat and
eggs and things. Then he an
nounced that he was prepared to
beat the egg trust by underselling 1t
with eggs he was able to produce
at practically no cost at all.
Beside the red-faced man stood a
young chap he called Tommy. Com
manded to lay an egg, Tommy
would open wide his capacious
mouth, and there would be an egg,
which the red-faced one would take
out and lay on small collapsible
table. When Tommy had laid" a
dozen eggs, the orator would sell
them at trifle less than the present
grocery rates.
All afternoon the game went on,
md many dozen storage eggs were
sold. II doesn't take much of
magician. to do this egg trick. but
II seems as n It did take some In
eenuity to think of that way OF
making II pay.
