JUNGLE TOMS CABIN"
Drama That Never Grows Old a
Opera House Saturday Night.

Uncle Toms Cabin" that beauti-
full and tender play of social life and
of particular interest to women and
children, will be presented by Leon
Washburns Stetson's Uncle Toms
Cabin" company, at the Bennington
opera house on Saturday, November
2.
Written by a woman, Mrs. Harriet
Beecher Stowe, Uncle Toms Cabin"
is one of the few dramas that appeals
principally to the fair sex, and has
for it's leading characters people
whose prototypes can be found today
in many fashionable drawing rooms.
In no play of recent years have the
passions been so strongly drawn up
on for dramtic material as in Uncle
Toms Cabin" Love and sympathy
predominant throughout, while selfish
ness and hatred are important ad-
juncts to the happy elimination of
story that is brimful of interest
Uncle Tom" the central figure in
the play, is man who in turn shows
weakness and strength. He is vic
tim of circumstances, and is fairly
happy and contented while being the
slave of "Massa Sinclaire" who is a
man of the world, of character and
self respect. But, there comes into
his existence a man whose entire
character is despicable, and through
his efforts to force his ignorance and
brutality. conflicting struggles ensue.
and the battle is bitterly fought I'M
til the triumph of right and honor.
Apart from Uncle Tom" there are
a number of characters drawn with
equal finesse and color. They are
made to play important roles in the
life of "Uncle Tom" and all are
figures of prominence in the develop
ment of the story.

STOPPED TRAIN IN
TIME TO AVERT
ACCIDENT
Frank N. Thompson Showed
Presence of Mind
WAVED BURNING MATCHES
Herd Of Cattle Wandered on to
Bridge and Blocked the
Track.

Frank M Thompson, who lives on
the town farm road, happened to be
at the right spot last evening and in
the possession of the right presence
of mind to prevent what might have
been a serious railroad accident.
Five or six head of cattle shortly
after dark wandered upon the rail-
road bridge just north of the Vermont
soldiers home crossing, and, as the
bridge floor is composed of crossties.
the feet of the animals went through
between the timbers. All of the six
were hopelessly imprisoned in the
bridge and one was directly across
the track.
No knowledge of the obstruction at
the bridge had been received at the
local station when the 6.15 passen-
ger train left here on its usual run
to North Bennington Just what
would have happened had the train
run into the bridge when blocked by
the cattle is, of course, problematicaI
but the chances are that it would
have been derailed.
Mr.. Thompson, who was on his way
to the village on foot by the way of
the railroad track, heard the cattle
struggling in the bridge before he
reached the structure. When he ar
rived near enough to ascertain lust
what the situation was he realized
that there were good possibilities for
an accident. He knew that 1t was
ABOUT time for the train to cross the
bridge and endeavored to alone take
out the cattle. They were too tight
ly wedged between the ties. however
and he was forced to give il up He
knew that he did not have sufficient
time to secure assistance and soon
heard the train approaching. AS a
last resort he lighted a couple of
matches and ran toward the train
waving the little brands in his
hands. Fortunately Engineer VIII
liam II. Sibley saw the two moving
sparks, threw on the air brake and
brought his train to a standstill lust
at the entrance to the bridge.
Mr.. thompson and the train crew
pulled the cattle out from the bridge
and the train went on to North BEN
nington. The cattle were the proper
ty OF Nathan Smith and had wander
ed from a mountain pasture into the
valley Losing their way they walk
ed into the bridge in the darkness.
