Il. Il. ACCIDENT NEAR MoNTFoRT.-
AS the Milwaukee passenger train was
nearing Montfort last Tuesday afternoon
it collided at crossing about two miles
east of the village with farmers team,
killing one horse instantly and demolish-
ing the buggy and throwing the man
over into the cattle guard. One side
of his face was badly mashed, besides
shaking him up considerable. Our
informant says that the mans name is
Keegan, and he lives near Mineral
Point. He had been visiting friends
at Montfort and had started to return
home. He left early enough to go as
far as Cobb where he intended TO stop
for the night. He saw the train in time
and thought he could get over the cross
ing first. He applied the whip to his
team but when they got as far as the
crossing they stopped and would go no
farther. The tram came along and the
engin caught the team as related. The
train stopped as soon as it could, went
back and got the unfortunate man and
brought him to Montfort where he re-
ceiyed the necessary medical attention.
Yesterday he was reported to be able to
converse freely and will soon be ready
TO mako smother start bcmeward.

THE CAssvLLE CURRENT Its an
nouncement for the coming year the
Current says: 1.-The Current is year
old. 1t is starting on its second year.
The publisher whose name it carries is
not accountable for its shortcomings
since his announcement of an engage
ment at Milwaukee. 1t is admitted that
in that time the paper has been some
what neglected. We trust this number
will in part re-enlist the interest of its
patrons. They shall have as good a
paper hereafter as their patronage will
sustain. To have part of the work
done at Lancaster is known to be OBJ
iectionable to patrons. Accordingly
preparations are making for change.
1t Is intended that the Current shall be
printed on its own press, and that its
publisher will stay with it. And what
are the friends in Cassville going to doF
Is their business enough to sustain the
paper under such conditions?

THE FREE READING RooM.-Among
the good and pleasant things that have
happened in Lancaster this year the
establishing of the Reading room should
be particularly mentioned For long
time number of people here had felt
that something of the kind was needed,
but the establishment and maintenance
of free reading room in town of this
size is matter of considerable difficulty.
This, however, has been accomplished
by the w. c. T. Union, and few more
attractive rooms of the kind can be
found. 1t is a comfortable, quiet place
to read the newspapers, the latest maya
zines, or a good story. We congratu-
late the ladies upon their success thus
far and wish them a continuation of the
same through 1887.

WAITS CAT.

How She sa~ed Her Masters Life When
He Wss shut Up In Londea Tower to
starve to Death. .r, t.af ..7,
You have all heard of Wilmington
and his cat, and am sure you enjoyed
the story of the poor prentice boy and
his one pet. So now I will tell you of
another good old English puss. There
are many stories of faithful, noble
hearted dogs saving their masters
lives; but we do not expect cat to
help us. because she is so much weaker
than dog. Therefore, want YOU to
admire this dear pussy the more; and
l want you to see the ennobling power
of love. For it was the great love for
her master which taught her how to
save him; and it's Joy to think how
well her unwearied efforts succeeded.
She was a city cat, used to climbing
high walls, and taking her walks over
the roofs, for she was born in London,
and lived somewhere near the Tower,
perhaps in it. Her masters name was
Sir Henry Wyatt, He lived in
.'troublous times, days so dark that
it makes one shudder to look back
upon them
The Maryville times. (Maryville, Tenn.) 1884-1944, 1886-05-05

swhen the cat. tho rat. and Lovell. our dog.
Ruled all England under the hog
as the country people said, when they
turned against Richard Ill. in their
horror and indignation at the murder
of the little princes in the Tower In
this feeling Sir Henry Wyatt fully
shared, He longed to oyerturn the
cruel tyrant, and bring back the red
rose of Lancaster. Many of the great
men in England were of the same
mind. But their first attempt failed;
Buckingham, their leader, was defeat
ed at Shrewsbury. while Sir Henry
Wyatt was imprisoned in the Tower
and left to starve.
Now think what that means. Think
what 1t must have been to find himself
shut up in that grim old fortress. be-
hind stone walls. eleven feet thick.
When he looked through the iron
barred window of his prison at the
battlemented wall beyond, and heard
the clang of the heavy portcullis, even
his brave heart must have sunk like
lead. For who would reach him therep
As the dull, dark wintry days closed
in, the pains of hunger grew sharper,
and he knew that the cruel Richard,
the ''hog" as the country people called
him in their hatred and contempt, in
tended to starve him to death. But
that lofty wall of stone could not keep
out the dark-ringed tabby cat, who
loved him so well.
Now, you must fancy here in the
frosty winter nights, when cats love to
roam, creeping. unnoticed, over those
dreary roofs, watching the iron-barred
windows, until she caught sight of her
masters face. Well, cats at least can
climb. She got upon his window-sill,
and how she must have purred in the
delight of finding him again! Sir Hen
ry was SO thin and changed, that even
his cat knew that he was starving. So
she went to the nearest dovecote and
caught pigeon, which she brought in
her mouth and dropped through the
iron bars of the window.
With what gratitude the poor fam
ishing prisoner must have devoured it!
And then puss returned the next day
with another pigeon in her mouth, and
so she kept him alive.
Think Of her unwearied love, for she
visited him every day, bringing the
birds she had caught, until he was set
free. when Richard was slain on Bos-
worth field.
Perhaps you wonder how acat could
find Sir Henry in his prison. But at
that time the Kings Of England lived
in the keep of the Tower, and held
their court there. The keep is the
strong old tower in the middle of the
Enclosure, where the prisoners were kept.
So that the palace and the prison were
under the same guard. Most likely
Sir Henry Wyatt had been gentle
man of the court, and had left his cat
in some part of the vast Notifications,
gateways, walls and towers, which
make up what we call the great Tower
of London. So it came to pass that
the cruel purpose of this wicked King
in the heart of his strongest fortress,
in the midst of his bravest guards, was
defeated by the love and perseverance
of a pussy.
Among the small things, and the
things which are despised, but with
which God so often chooses to con-
found the mighty, remember Wyatt
cat.-Elean0r Shredder, IN Little Folks.

1t would seem that the trait Of for

cultivated like toy pigeons. Mr..
Beecher's father, the venerable DR.. Ly-
man Beecher was, as is well known,
often absent-minded and forgetful, as
men who think very earnestly are apt
to be. When he was the president Of
Lane Seminary 1t was very poor, and
found difficulty in adequately support
ing its faculty, SO that Mrs. Beecher
was often sadly straitened pecuniarily.
The old story goes that at one time,
when she received sum of money, it
was the occasion of great rejoicing, as
it would enable them to pay bill for
carpet which had been too long stand
ing So she committed the money to
her husband, charging him to attend
to the payment Immediately. In the
evening the doctor returned from the
city in high spirits and described mis-
sionary meeting he had attended, in
which was much enthusiasm, very elo-
quently reporting the addresses which
had been made. Doctor" interrupted
