forthwith made the sign of the Cross This
old man.. who acted with good judgment In
all business matters was In other respects
so simple and credulous that he took in the
most ridiculous fables as gospel truth. He
believed in sorcery. and was convinced that
any day one could see horsemen metamor-
phosed into pigs, coins changed into dry
leaves, and the devil take possession Of the
body of an animal.

Soon the news spread that Zenone, on ac-
count OF his debts. was to be driven out Of
the city in a fortnight and condemned to
perpetual exile. The people were very sorry
when they heard it. Zenone was loved by
the working class and especially by the
women. God. who created woman. willed
that she would be more beautiful, more ten
der and more graceful than man. but also
that she should be more fragile, more deli
cate and more liable to physical ailments.
For this reason women have more need of
apothecartes than men have. That Is why
the poor girls Of Padua were frequently
seen in Zenone's store. Now they grieved
on account of his disgrace, and since they
were unable to give him money they shed
tears for him.
The most sorrowful OF all was Barbara,
the servant of the miser Nicola Becchino.
Indeed, her sorrow exceeded that of all the
other women. The chroniclers of Padua do
not reveal to US the reason for this SYM
pathy. and We can only suppose that Bar
bara was sorry for Zenons because she was
compassionate SOUL and because Pity, the
daughter Of heaven. lodged In her bosom.
A less pleasant abode Pity might easily
have found. Barbara, who was hardly more
than; 30 years old, was fresh and had a rood
figure She had the reputation, ana de-
servedly. Of being sensible person: She
certainly was very quick-witted, ana when
She wished she could do what she pleased
with her master. However. on the present
take. -" ~
The following morning. as the rising sun
illumined tho lofty ramparts and towers
OF the city. she took courage and resolved
not to despair. for she said to herself that
perhaps with the help Of God she might
yet hnd some way to soften tho heart Of

The annual stockholders meeting Of
the American Telephone and Tele.

New York city the other day, marked
the twenty-ffth anniversary Of the in
vention OF the telephone by Prof. Bell.
In q retrospect of the progress since
that time, the report Of Acting Presj.
dent Alexander Cochrane said:
twenty years ago there were AZ.
$50 telephone subscribers in the Unit
ed States, and s9,714 miles Of wire in
use for telephone purposes. At the
end Of last year there were s0s.ss0 ex-
change stations equipped with our in.
struments, and 1851. s01 miles Of wire
were employed for exchange and toll
line service. The estimated number
OF daily exchange connections is $685..

SAGE WARNS GEORGE GOULD
o Great Railroad Magnate Would
Invite Formidable Opposition.

Russell Sage has warned George
Gould against attempting to become a
railroad magnate, limiting that there
are those who would never permit him
to become q power in railroad affairs.
''Mr. Gould has laudable ambition to
become great railroad magnate,''
said Mr.. Sage. "But if he should at.
tempt this he would invite opposition
that would prove formidable.
Railroads can be built now for much
less money than formerly. There ia

MUST INSURE WORKERS.
Jew Law in Holland Which Requires
Employer to Provide for
WOrkmen If Injured.

Minister Newell has forwarded to
the novel law just adopted in Holland
which requires employers in certain
branches of labor to insure their en-
ployes against pecuniary losses which
are result of accidents happening to
them in the course of their daily Ia
Dor. The law elassifes 81 trades
where the insurance feature applies,
and establishes an institution knows
as the State Insurance bank.
This bank notifies the employer Of
the class in which he is placed, and he
is required to make sworn reports OF
all accidents at his place.
The State Insurance bank provides
medical and pecuniary assistance to
any employe who, in the exercise of
his calling, shall be accidentally in.
jured in such way that he is no
longer partially or entirely capable Of
doing his ordinary work. In case of
death funeral expenses are to be paid,
and these indemnities extend in fxe /
proportion to all the relatives of the
employee dependent upon him for sup
port.
The capital for this paternal insur.
ance society is furnished by assess.
ments on employers, graded according
to the class of work and the number
of their workmen. The law has re-
ccived the approval of the queen, and
great interest is manifested in this
experiment in the way of paying met
wages and insuring them against &C
eidents for which they were not re.
Gponsible.

SINGLE METAL SPAR.
Innovation Planned for the Chal-
lenger Shamrock II.
Designer CrowninEshteld, Of Boston,
Expresses Approval of Plan-Ono
Objection Named-Herr>xnoMs Re.
fuse to Make Any Comment.

Designer B. B. Crowinshield, who
has charge of the plans and construc-
ton of the new cup yacht indie.
pendence, was asked at Boston the
other night to give his opinion of
the innovation referred to in dis
patch from Glasgow in connection
with the spars and rigging of Sham
rock H., Sir Thomas Lipton's chal-
lenger.
The dispatch stated that the top.
mast and all topmast fittings would
be abolished and that the yacht
would have single metal spar.
Mr.. Crowninshield without hesita.
ton expressed considerable approval
of the plan. He said he believed
strongly in the single spar. for the
same reason given in the dispatch, as
it did away with extra weight and
slmplified the rigging.
The only objection, he said, might
be the fact that the Shamrock's top
mast could not be housed if severe
wind came up. This feature, how
ever, he said, had probably been fore
seen by the yachts designers, who
were competent men, thoroughly con-
versant with their profession. On the
whole, he said, he believed the change
Ia construction was good one.
Relative to the dispatch from Glas-
gov to the effect that Shamrock II.
is to have pole mast combining
mainmast and topmast in one contin-
uous steel tube from step to truck,
the Herreshoffs, at Bristol, R. l., had
no comment to make when the matter
was related in their Office. By per-
sons in touch with the members of
the Bristol bodybuilding firm it is
recognized that the housing Of top
masts on this coast in the month of
August will be hardly necessary; that
some hundreds of pounds Of weight
will be saved aloft, but that it may
be necessary to rig several sets of
spreaders on the spar, something
after the plan adopted on the main
mast of Shamrock I.

The Kendrick gazette. [volume] (Kendrick, Idaho) 1892-1968, 1903-08-14

Tuesday was bad day for chicken
houses in Kendrick, two having burn :
ed that day with some poultry. The
one belonged to Will Long at the up.
per end of town and the other to Mr..
Reeves on the John Crews place lust
above town. 1t seems that the LAD les
under took to fumlgate the buildings
by burning sulphur IN them. In some
way both buildings took fire and burn
ed to tue ground the loss however in
either case not being very great. When
Mr.. Longs building burned an alarm
of fire was turned and our citizens and
fire brigade turned out promptly to
put out the fire. 1t might have re-
suited seriously as it stood near other
buildings which if they had taken fire
would have resulted in much loss.
This makes our usual three fires in
succession and we trust we will now
have season of rest.
