He has a snug fortune end a bouse out on Long lslund because be knows bow to cater to cat aristocracy. Host persons per-sons think' cntnlp Is Just catnip,' just as there were certain ones lh olden days who spoke of "opening wine." There are qualities of catnip Just as there used to be Burgundy and Graves and Chateau Yquem. . When he first went Into the business busi-ness of providing the delicacy for the pampered favorites of catdom, the catnip cat-nip man had only a basket and a smiling smil-ing face. He knew, however, tne banks where the sweet herbs grew. lie was not content to serve ordinary ordi-nary leaves, so to speak, but be went In for high-class "Brst chop." There are tunny persons who own estates on Long: Island." They tlht not care if the man who ministered to the happlneaa of cats did stop beneath their hedge or wulk about the private grounds to gather up his wares. ' He soon found a, way to force or cultivate catnip with extra large leaves. Whenever he found a little bed of the herb growing luxuriantly-of luxuriantly-of Itself he thinned "It . out so as , to give" the tinrdft's't of the plants more room. If the quality of the plant was good but the soli nt up to his standard, stand-ard, he .brought a baHket of fertiliser and improved the bearing qualities. On certain days the catnip man. makes the rounds of the stores where cuts are for sale with a basket tilled with bunches of selected, highly cultured cul-tured leaf. He never gives just the run of the bed. Every sprig Is hnnd sorted after It Is hand picked. When .winter comes and the supply Is more scarce, he hen cured catnip ready. It Is no drug store herb, all pressed Into a rnke. Hit is full-flavored leaf. Ills italcn may seem to be smnll. yet Uiuny f the largest dealers buy this catnip tit wholesale. When he sells In Paddy's market and In that neighbor- j hood about Ninth avenue and Forty- second street, he gives good, liberal portions and makes nixMly sales especially es-pecially in winter. By supplying the tonic for Mine all the year round and building up a clientele the catnip man snm found thut he was slowly but eufvly nmimtitHtlng a fortune. He hulit a hmi.iH on catnip revenue," bought ne Innd on catnip, "and on cntnlp he brought tip a lurge family and 'cturntcd them."
