A Ba.cksmith,s Revepee.

An item Of news typically Russian comes
from a village near Tomsk, where lives a
blacksmith named T~eneyakof. His wife
had been persistently unfaithful, and final
~ her husband dragged her to his forge,
tied her up by the hair, then shod her with
a pair of iron shoes which he had specially
made for the purpose. The woman natu-
rally tainted when the nails were driven in
to her feet and would have died had she
not been rescued by the villagers. The
rescuers contented themselves with turning
the husband over to the local authorities,
who released him after W. days impris-
onment. The writer Of the dispatch a v
that the breaking Of marital vows is com
mon among the Russian p~easantry, and
the authorities treated the husband l~enient-
~, as a means of showing that, in their
opinion, the unfaithful wife simply got
her deserts.
