A Famous Poet and His Cats

"One night, during my visit to the
Court Of Napoleon III, at Compiegne."
writes Madame de Hegermann- Linden
crone, in Harper's, II was little dis
mayed when I was told that the famous
poet Theophile Gautier was to be my
dinner companion. / was awed at the
idea CT such a neighbor, and feared /
should not be able to cope with the
occasion. Would he talk poetry to
me? and should I have to talk poetry
to him?
II tried to remember, during our
promenade down the hall, LongfeIlow's
Psalm of Life in case he should expect
anything in this line. and tried to re-
call something he himself had written.
II might have spared myself worry,
for from the time he sat down at the
table he talked of little else than cats
and dogs. He loves all animals q
liked him for that, and one could see
that he preferred them to any other
topic. In appearance ] think he much
resemble Charles Dickens. I have only
seen the 'latter'ss photographs, but had
he not rather skinny hair. brushed any
which way and al stringy beard? I
fancied him SO to myself, At any rate.
Gautier looks like the Dickens Of the
photographs. -.
II can't remember all the nonsense
The Bon Homme County independent. [volume] (Tabor, S.D.) 1904-1913, 1911-09-07

he talked. He said he had eight or
10 cats, who ate with him at the table,
Each had its own place and plate, and
never by any chance made q mistake
and sat in another cats place or ate
off another cats plate. He was sure
that they had q heaven and q hell OF
their own, where they went after their
death, according to their deserts, and
that they had souls and consciences.
All his cats had classical names, and
he talked to them as IL they were hu
man beings. He said they understood
every word he said. He also quoted
some Of his conversation with them
which must have sounded very funny
Cleopatra, have you been in the
kitchen drinking milk on the sly?
Cleopatra puts her tail between her
legs and her ears back and looks most
guilty. and know then what the COOK
told me was true. Then again Julius
Caesar. you were out extremely late
last night What were you doing" He
said that when he made these re-
proaches julius Caesar would get down
from his chair, and with his tail high
in the air would rub himself against his
legs as much as to say he would never
do 1t again. - 81
depend upon It, he added, they
know everything we do and more.

A Tulip Craze.

The world saw something new under
the sun in the 18th century, in the way
IF a tulip craze. It began in Holland
ind spread all over Europe. There
was a marvellous demand for the bulbi
ind intense rivalry In producing new
varieties. Rare ones sold at fabuloui
prices. One man is said to have paid
81, 200 for single bulb. Sometimes the
ownership of q bulb was divided into
shares. People simply went wild o
he subject of tulips. Bulbs We're nfiel
3argained for before they came into
existence and many were sold that
never did exist Men gambled in 3
somewhat as they now speculate in
wheat. Whole fortunes were In astad
n plants and many wealthy ia lies
we're financially ruined by the craze.
The city Of HARLEM Is still the Irin.
,ipal center of production Of tulip bulbs
Sor the European and American mar
ket. but the speculative mania has new
~ been repeated.
