A Cat Cured of Catching Trout


London Field.
Dame Evans dwelt in neat
little farmstead on the banks of the
River Brain. She was kindly,gen-
ial soul, and great favorite with
those who lived in the few houses
scattered round about. When the
Squire went a.fishihg, he never
passed Dame Evans door without
calling in to drink a draught Of
fresh milk. The good dame was a
favorite OF his, as the keepers well
knew. Now Dame Evans owned
fowls and pigeons. and possessed a
cat, as most danes do. 1t was not
one Of the big, burly, lazy
type, but sleek, slim, brown
striped, middle-sized creature, with
a hungry look. 1t was not one of
| those cats either that content
themselves with killing and con-
Stunning the legitimate mouse or
rats; but demOniacal feline
atrocity that harried the pleas
ants, slew the cartridges, murdered
the rabbits and young hares with
secret persistency that forced the
head keeper to curse heartily and
deeply. Nor was this the sum total
OF the demon cats misdeeds, for in
the autumn, when the big fish
were spawning and sluggish, she
was won't to kill them with the
skill and ease of an experienced
otter. "Shockin', shOckin', when a
cat takes to fishin'," said David,
the head keeper "she'll nefer, meier
leave it off,"
And David would have shot the
good DANES cat, only he feared her
word with his master. But one
day in the autumn the rain began
to rise, and the Squire went out a
spinning while David bore the land
net. Every pool was tried at head
and tail, and every ripple spun
most carefully, but not a fish would
fasten. So the Squire smoked phil
osophically, and David grumbled
to himself according to his custom
when the day was blank. AS soon
as Dame Evans was reached the
Squire stood his rod against the
side Of the door while he obtained
his usual draught. Dame Evans

ing, and invited David to taste her
home. brewed. Wherefore David
ceased grumbling and applied his
glass, while the good dame and
the Squire discussed pigeons and
poultry. Suddenly prolonged
scream was heard-a very DEVILS
howl, followed by the clatter OF
the falling rod. The good DANES
cat had gone for the metal min
now, and was fast by paw and
snout in the sharp arming of the
trace. "Sieze her, David" yelled
the squire, and David grasped the
four.footed poacher round the
neck in no gentle manner. Out
came the knife and in a twinkle
puss was free. When David
dropped her over the courtyard
wall on to the soft earth in the
garden, she lay motionless. Yet
though Dame Evans cat is still
alive and well, David swears that
since this eventful day she has
never tished in the brook for
trout"

NORWICH, n. Y, March 1.-Alonzo Phil
lips Of Alton was shot aud killed by Mrs.
Florence Parker. Mrs. Parker, who is
about 40 years of age, was recently married
to Duncan Parker, who is over 60. The
marriage caused considerable comment I'm
the community and the neighbors decided
TO have little fun at the expense of the
newly married couple. They accordingly
organized "horning," as it is called.
In body, about 30 strong, they proceed
ed to the home of Parker, where they
made night hideous by noises of every con.
ceivable kind. Not content with this, they
threw snowballs and stones at the house
The callithump went on uninterruptedly
for a time, but finally Mrs. Parker appear
ed at the door and told the crowd that they
had gone far enough, and that if they did
not stop some one would get hurt.
Her warning was received with jeers, and
the noise continued with increased vigor.
Suddenly a flash was seen, a report heard,
and Alonzo Phillips fell to the ground NOR
tally wounded. He was taken to a neigh
boring house and died soon after
An inquest was held, and the jury found
that he came to his death from a shot fired
by Florence Parker. Mrs. Parker was ar
rested. Phillips was a respected citizen
and had been prominent in local politics.
He leaves a widow and several children.
The village is intensely excited over the
killing, and while the Phillips family has
the deepest sympathy of all there an many
who think that Mrs. Parker was perfectly
justified in her act.
