RIsKED HIS LIFE.
To Save Cat from Drowning.

IO Ddp6 CdJ lIOLli 0IO WAllA6v
 Touched by the dying and pitiful "meows of a tramp cat which some one had thrown into the Park river, Antone Disheroke, living at SS Arch street, divested himself of nearly all his clothing this morning in Bushnell park, and went in swimming in the muddy water of the river to rescue the cat at the risk of his own life,
 Antone was crossing the bridge at Ford street when somthing in the wa ter attracted his attention. It took him only an instant to see that it was a cat, in dire distress. It took him an- other instant to determine what he should do, and he did it.
 Rushing down to the water side, he threw off his shoes, stockings, trousesr, coat and shirt and into the water he went after the cat, while an as tonish- ed audience on the bridge wondered what had made him grow crazy so sud- denly
 Out to the middle of the river he swarm, and then with pussy in one hand, held safely above the water, he made his way back to the shore and dressed.
 Pussy appreciated his act and settled down in his arms as though he was an old friend. At the corner of Ford and Asylum strets he stopped, not knowing just what to do with his new found pet.
 Policeman Callahan seeing the crowd and hearing somthing said about, 'just in time to save his If, thought he had a drowning case, and was about to send in an ambulance call, when he found 1t was only cat. Antone then went into a butcher shop and had the cat wrapped up in paper to shield it from the vulgar gaze of the public, and buying a half pound of liver, started for home to give puss much needed tonic.--Hartford Post.
