A NATURAL GAS PIPE LINE. A. F. Katnsoy hits boon iu correspondence witb Muj. C. T. Doxoy relative to a natural gas pipe line to Crawfordsville. Mnj. Doxej- hits implicit faith iu the permoueuc.v of the gas anil cousiders the disoussiou of its weakening as nothing but idle talk. Ho has shown his faith l»v hi works by largely investing his means, of which ho is amply provided, in thiB kind of property. He is still willing aud anxious to make further investments in the sauie direction. Aud with this end in view he has opened correspondence with Mr. Uamsey. He writes giving his experience as a practical man tint a six-iucb line from the Sheridan tlelds by way of Thorntown and Durliugtou will be amply sufficient to furnish an abundance of gas to the consumers at all three of the points aud that the use of eight inoh pipes on a line like this would be a useless expeudi:ure of money, no estimates that a six-inch Line inoluding the mains and strvioe for the ttnee towns could be placed in at a cost of S-75,000. Of this amount he stands ready and willing to subsoribo for 870,000 of the stock, the remaining capital to be furnished by the citizens. He rogtifls it as a tuft! and p»yiug investment, the b.st evidence buiug that the stock in none of the existing lines is

sale except ut a premium. The fact that the Major is willing to invest so largely himself should be an incentive to our home capitalists to put their money in the scheme. The Major expresses the belief that there should be no hesitancy on the part of our moneyed men to raise the n.(juired amount in §20,000, $10,000 und S3,000 blocks. It is Bubject worthy of thorough investigation and The Jouhnal believes that the scheme is feasible. At least it should arrest the attention of men who are seeking investments for their surplus capital.

There is a good deal of curiosity among the public to learn how the projectors of cheap aluminum ot Chicago are progressing. That light but valuable metal is yet worth about 81 per pound, but the Chicago men say they can furnish it for about 111 oeuts. They promise also to bring aluminum into the plaoe of Bilver, brass, tin and nickel, Aluminum is the asis of clay, is only one-third as heavy as iron, and does not tarnish with the using. The Windy City Men promise to L-uve a lot of it on exhibition at the great exposition of '93.

'IIK CATNIP GAHDEN.

Once npon a titnethere lived in the beantifu city of Denver a certain gentleman nf the name of Toll, andnhe was a jtul^e. All over the stale of Colorado and elsewhere, too, the jtnl^e was famed for his goodness and his learning. In fact he was so gonl and so learned that one Christmas eve Santa Clans came and brought him a sweet little baby son.

The jnd^e was very proud. "I will rear this little son to he a good and great-jurist." said he, "and when lam old and feeble he will )o the staff and comfort of my ape."

One of the first things Jnd^e Toll did was to hire a nurse to take eare of the pretty little boy. for ir. 90 happened, sadly enough, that the baby's moti'-T was not strong enough to rarrv the baby and amuse Itall the time. Tho nurse was a kindly old ladv, who had lived away down east, where there were many, many baby girls and some baby boys, no she knew about babies and just, how to take care of them.

This baby was vrrv fond of his nunns, and he would be in her lap and admire her antique style of architecture, or would pat her wrinkled cheeks and roo the sweetest baby music imaginable.

This made Judge Toll very happy. "How handsome the baby is," he would say to himseJf, "and what, a great jurist ho will become!"

But one day the ohl nurse came to the judge and said, "We must do something for the baby."

The judge was vastly astonished. "You surely do not meau to tell me that the baby is sick?" he exclaimed. "No, not exactly sie.k." said the old nurse, "bnt hp needs f/oning up. He is fat and strong and conteut-ed, hut there is a kind of look in his eye? that tells me he needs a tonic," "Then we will ell the doctor v.'^"There is no need of that.' prutested the old nurse. "The doctor would laugh at yon and say the baby is all right. But 1 know jnst as well as I know anything that tho child needs toning up!" "Well, hen, what shall it be?" raked Jndge Toll. "Paregoric, souills. castor oil, hive syrup, Itelhidomm?" "None of them," answered the old nurse, "for they are all drugs, and he doesn't need drugs. What he needs is toning up."

The judge said nothing—he did not know what to say. Of law, of politics, of mining, of literature, and of otherworldly things he knew much, but of baby tonics he simply knew nothing. "What the baby needs is-catnip tea," said the old nurse. "Nothing will tone up a baby's system like catnip tea. Down in Vermont an' Maine an' Mass'chnsett.s they always bring up their Uibies on catnip tea, an'that's why their bubie* make such smart men an* women.'' "But I thought catnip w.i» something cats ate." iutcrposed the judge. "Law me, an* so it is," said the -dd nurse, "but it's just a* likely living for human folks. Why, there's noihiu' in the world that'll tone up a weak system like a bowl of strong catuip tea. I hate to see this blcswcd child pinin' for wha be the makin' of him." "I know nothing about it at all," said Judge Toll, "but if yon say the Uiby need* catnip I will get some for him."

Judge Toll went all over town for catnip —into every drug store, every grocery ami every doctor's office, hut not a sprig of it could he find anywhere.

MYou

will have to send erwt for it." tin-

druggists said "it doesn't grow out here in Colorado." "Then send east for it I will:" cried Judge Toll. And bo he did. That very night he wrote to an old college friend in Massachusetts informing him of his dilemma, and asking him to send forthwith a goodly supply of catnip, no matter how much it cost.

Well, in about three weeks' tamo, there Oftm* aJoog a large express package from the east, and when the judge opened it he found that it contained forty nine bunches of green catuip. Oh! how fresh and fragrant they were, ami how their green leaves ami assertive.odors took one back acrooH the arid plaius and muddy rivers to tile ferny wild woods of dear old Yankeeland!

,4The

baby shall have catuip tea three

times a day now!" cried the judge. "Here's euough to last a year," said the old nurse. "I tell you what we'll do, we'll plant some of these bunches in the yard, an' whenever we need a few leavr-.s for a tea we can Rtep out and pluck them. So we will have au ever iucreasin* supply." •'That's a good plan," said the judge "We will plant theae healing herbs at once, and they shall beautify and perfume our premises.''

That afternoon Judge Toll planted the catnip herb in pretty rows iu his front yard, ami thereafter carefully irrigated them every morning and evening. It was surprising how noon tho plant* took root, and in les* thai) seven days they were as flourihbing in their adopted soil a* they would have been on the hills of Vermont. Whenever the okl nurse wanted to make a too she stepped out into the yard and plucked a few catnij) leave*-, Ktoejed them iu hot water, and there it wa~. as natural a catnip tea aa ever simtner»^i on a stove or trickled down a baby's throat. The catnip boahes meauwhile thrived and shot out fresh sprigB and leaves, and thoir fragrance fllhxl the air for a great distance.

Uncle Suth Cooley, who livee ou Capitol bill, one morning hobbled down to the Toll place and loaned ovor the fence and gmed tenderhy at the thrifty herb. "Je»t as nat'raLas ever," sakl Uncle Seth slowly and sadly, as his nostrils dilated. "Jest

I'd kind o' like to «raell 'em and take'em homo to Mitty." Ami old Mm. Baxter came over from Kvaiih' addition and begged "bookay," too. She cried softly over the coarse, green leaves, as If the Right of them awakened memories of tho time when old Uncio Daa'l and Rho •tsrted out In life together lu A little framo cottage "at Diiinmcihtnn, on the West river, just nix miles f'm nrnttlelioro'." Oh, yes, the Yankee folk r.-inie from all parte of the city of Jlnnvt-r to s«^-tlmt wonderful front yard, to pluck the catnip leaves ami to tell the marvulou.s storii-n of the cure.s the herb had efTfctcd. And all this time the rowBof catnip kept KrowinK ami uroivIng and growing, and t)ie frngrinice went up and was wafted hit her and hither by tbe breezefi.

Away up on top of very high mountain near i3el Xorte there liwil an old Maltese cat, the maternal ancestor of many generations of her «[K'cic.s. She hail come across the plains iu a prairie Kchoonerin •BB with party of emigrants, und now Aa lived la the hoHpitable loft of the t*-"'

Now I lie i.it her :il hail hcaril about cat nip. but b.'iil never MM'ii any. The tales -vviiicli lie Maltese cat liail told about hoi", xperiiMice-i with the favorite wivil befotv she left her kitteiihooil home in Maine had been hautled aruuiid among the other cats of Colorado ius quaint legemls. All the other cats had heard tell of the subtle glories of catnip, but none had ever lieht'ld or even wliilTeil the grateful herb. I "Where?" a.-kel uvonty young caLs in chorus. "Ol.: I don't know," replied the old Maitt'se cat. "but 1 can smell it., a-mi I going Ut follow up the riii'iintil I iiud it-" I

With tlie.-e portentous words the old Maltese cat whiskiil her tail, gave a wild "Wee-o\v," and st-irted on a run lor Denver. IW0 miles away. ee-ow-ow!" cried the other catj.—auil the kittens too—and ott they started for Denver, giving the old Maltese hot race over bill and valley, peak and plain, mead and wold.

The word passed around, and the ery Went up here aud there like wildfire, "Catnip! catnip! catnip! We're going to get some cat nip!" The tidings reached Alamosa, and nin along the whole of the mountain range of Colorado. The excitement was intense—eats hurried from every house, cabin, barn, stable, shed and mine, ami joined the vast procession. Every city, town, hamlet and camp was insuinlly deserted by its eat population. .Such a yowling had never before been heard, such a seething army of cats had never been seen.. The miner in his lonely hut, hearing the awful rush, sprang from his cot and cried: •The snow slide! the :mow slide! Hun'for your lives'" Hut it. was only the cats on the gallop to Denver! Oh, it was a prodigious spectacle, and the old Maltese cat led the van:

Judge Toll was dreaming pleasant dreams that, night, when he was awakened therefrom by a din which threw him into a old sweat. He crawled out of his bed, slipped anxiously iato his trousers, seized his faithful shotguu and stole softly to the window. The strange noise seemed to come from the front yard—yes, from the rows of cat nip bushes.

Then the judge peered out of the window, and what do you think he .'aw!1 Myriads of cuts—billows of oats! Cats of every size, weight, color, sex, condition and description. Black ejus, white cats, t-abbie cats. .Maltese eats, tortoise shell catfi, brindle cats, spotted eats, striped cats, brown eais, yellow cats, mauve cats, gamboge cats, long cats, sliort. cats, tall cots, fat oats, lean cats, stump tailed cam, one eared cats, wali eyed cats, three legged eats, mamma cats, papa oau and kittens— oh, yes, kittens of every kind and without namlier! And there they were iu Judge Toll's front yard, amoug and on the rows of catnip bushes—purring, sprawling, yowling like so many demons. "Pur-r-r," said tlie old, wayback -Maltose cat. all the way from Del Norte—"purr-r-r! oh! isn't this lovely? It's the first catnip I've had in troing on twenty-live years— purr-r-r! 1 thank heaven that 1 have lived to see this grateful fruit introduced into the liocky mounfciiu region!''

Aud then all the other cats—there must have been a million of them—purred in chorus so loud that it sounded like au awful, lingering peal of thiuuier. Bat this was not all. Oh.no! By the bright moonlight Judge Toll could see myriads and myriads of other cats surging down from the mountain ranges and through the valleys and over the plains—from Georgetown, Salid.i, Idaho, Golden, Boulder, Cre-sted Butte. Tlncup, San Juan, Pueblo, Chuohanus, Buena Vista, Conejos, Dnrango, Manitou, Leadvllle, Ouray, Huerfano, Kokoma, Monument, Rosita, Saguaolie aud Trinidad—the foot hills were alive with aits, the mountain peaks swarmed with cats, and cats, cats, cats swept- along like a swirling torrent toward one focal point, Judge Toll's catnip lit-d 1

And, lo! the cats were coming from other directions, too—from the arid plaius of Kansas and from Deer Trail, from Monotony Water Tank and from tlie dreary confines of Xebra.ika. The breeze blowing from tlie north brought the noise of vast armies of cats on their way from Laramie and Cheyenne!

The cats already in the jiv!front yard-—how* they purred am' yowled, and how tho spark shot from their furry backs affectionately lip against tl nipl It was in fact a carniv urnalia!

nat-

The judge said to himself, "I will shoot in among all these trespassers and drive them away. What right have they todevastate my beauteous exotics?"

But then came the second better thought. Would it not be cruel to deprive these creatures of t.lie long denied pleasure they were now in joying iu thecatnip bed? None of them, save the old Maltese, had ever before seen or tasted the precious herb they knew of it only from the legendary lore with \. !iich the old way-back Malteso cat liwl rev.-iled thom, their fathers, their mothers, their grandmothers, their grandfathers, and so on ad infinitum.

And the rnoro Judge Toll thought it over tin more he became satisfied that he ought, in all humanity, to let the catastay and enjoy thecatnip. 8o at last he went back to his bed and renewed bis slumber as best lie could.

When lie got up next morning aud looked into his front yaitl notu "v' was to btiscen, nor yet a vestige of tin' catnip ei'.lxr. The turf was widely rent and torn up, and every leaf, twig, sprig and root of cauiip had di-apls'iirod. It was conjectured that, tlie rats rook it all away witb them. Thoy must have bad a terrible battle over the remnants of tho feast, for here and there on the lienpoiled turf lay eyes and ears aud bits of l.liis anil tufts of fur—silent but eloquent evidences of the last tragic scene Bf all.-- Kumme Field.
