Kilkenny Cats.

The expression Kilkenny cats"
comes from an ancient Irish fable
which tells us that the two notorious
cats Of Kilkenny fought so savagely
that at the finish only their tails were
left This Is said to be satire on
the dispute Of the municipalities Of
Kilkenny and frishfown over their
boundary lines and kindred things.
History relates that the towns fought
so long and desperately over the points
In dispute in the seventeenth century
that both were reduced to utter bank
ruptcy.
Some authorities contend that this
story Is really founded on facts and
that II had its origin during the Irish
rebellion OF 1903. According to these.
II was one OF the pastimes OF the Hes
sian soldiers garrisoned at Kilkenny
to tie two cats together by their tails
and toss them across clothesline for
fight
Caught at their cruel sport one day
by one Of the officers. one Of the SOL
diers drew his knife and slashed on
the eats fails Asked to explain the
presence Of the severed tails. the sol
diers said the eats had devoured all
else.
