SITS Half Century The Lady a Puzzle to Man

first place, the lady abbess was over
lord Of an immense property, and in
many cases had all tho rights Of a
baron, which rights she administered
with great gusto and no small ability.
The clustered lady was not always
bound by vows and travelled about the
world taking her pleasures where she
found them, much to the distress of
good st. Boniface, who spent precious
hours writing letters Of protest to
such men as he hoped might have some
control over their gaily used freedom.
The historian Bede writes aghast, Of
the virgins Of certain abbey who
spent all their leisure time weaving
fine garments with which to adorn
themselves like brides.
In the double monastcries, the prob
lens that the lady caused were legion.
Occasionally, Miss Putnam says, senti-
mcnt would allow an abbess to pre-
pare q winding sheet for friendly
abbott during his lifetime, which was
a token Of esteem much appreciated
in those times and which certainly in
dicates degree Of association at least.
In Spain certain monks were allowed
to kiss the hands Of certain nuns in
greeting. But for the most part the
convent ladies we're kept separated
from the monks and their voices might
"mingle only in recitation, songs,
sighs and groans.'

Her book suggests brilliant and
extended society chronicle, full OF
lively gossip about receptions, balls
and parties, together with anecdotes
about the many distinguished individ-

intimate description Of General Grants

as it appeared to the wife Of great

A Notable Organizer
Mr.. Stone made his Chicago Daily

and authoritative STATS that any Amer
team journal ever had. 1t was while
he was at the head Of it that he be-
came associated with Whitelaw Reid
in promoting the invention and prac-
tical development of the linotype, a
device which must always rank among
the three or four greatest achievements
in the mechanism of the "art pre-
servative of arts" 1t was agreed that
the work of perfecting the machine
should be conducted in the Office Of
The Tribune, and the first twelve
machines, when completed, we're placed,
at Mr.. Stones suggestion, in the COM

room OF MIR. Stones Chicago Daily

says Mr.. Stone:
"Before the organization began to
make any profit, | sold my entire
interest to my partner, Mr.. Lawson, at
precisely what it had cost me. To-
day the device is in universal use."
In Mr.. Stones early years the cleo
trio telegraph was novely, not yet
fully come into use. He saw it's mar
velous development, the successful
employment of submarine cables, and
finally wireless telegraphy, become
commonplace; along with the telephone
and che airplane. He would have been
interested keenly in remaining in the
sanctum and participating in the
changes which these things wrought in
the individual newspaper. But he
chose otherwise. So in 1883 he sold out
his interest in "The Daily News" to
Mr.. Lawson and agreed to keep out Of
Chicago journalism for ten years.
II was too proud to confess, either
at home or to the public, the real reason

Another Roman was even more pes

with the uncertain creatures. "If we
could get along without wives," he
said. 1--WE should all dispense with the
nuisance. But, since nature has de-
creed that we can neither live very
comfortably with them nor at all with

soapboxing in favor Of marriage, and,
from all accounts, persuaded not few

wives as lesser evil than doing with

"A mountain lion, measuring II feer

on the Big Butte by Hilario Saizar, a
Spanish riding boss in the employ of
Andrew Little
Saizar brought the pelt of the lion
to the probate judges court the first
of this week to claim the bounty of
$50. It was a fine specimen and
when dressed weighed $50 pounds.
Two men were unable to raise it so
as to suspend it from a tree while
being skinned, and the hide was re-
moved while the beast was lying on
the ground.
Saizar came upon the animal while
it was devouring two sheep it had kill
ed. He was within Is feet of it when
he discovered it. He took two shots,
the first one hitting the lion in the
foot and the second shot pierced its
heart. These animals are seldom
found below the timber line and it is
supposed it followed the sheep or
trailed deer down from the mountains

LOSE STOCK BY
FIRE
Former Emmett Boys Sustain Loss
@ When Store Burns.

/ A letter received this week from
| Raymond Fowler, who with Abe Hit
! has been conducting general mer.
chandise store at WItten, So. Oak.
tells Of serious loss they sustained
when their large stock was wiped Out
| by fire a couple Of weeks ago. The
Trip County Journal contains the
| following account of the fire:
"a fire of unknown origin which
completely destroyed large stock
of general merchandise and building
occurred at Witten early last Satur-
day morning.
"The fire was discovered shortly
before six o'clock Saturday morning.
The alarm was given and the citizens
of the town rushed to the scene, but
the flames had gained such headway
that it was impossible to extinguish
the fire and save anything from the
building. There is no water system
in the town and it was only by hard
work that the fire was kept from
spreading to other buildings.
"The stock of merchandise was
owned by Fowler & Hit, who had
purchased same from Henry Struss
only week before. The stock was
valued at between $1,000 and $1a,-
900 and was insured for $4,000.
The building, frame structure AK
60, was owned by L. N. Kennedy and
was partially covered by insurance"
With true Western grit, these two
young men are not discouraged by
their misfortune, but will start up
their business again, as the following
extract from their letter indicates:
Abe and / were just little unfor-
tunate, but we are going back INTO
the business in another building and
try again. We have had a dandy
winter and the crops are all looking
fine for this year. Abe, Marvel and
/ have all been staying at the hotel
the past year, and even though IS
miles from railroad town, with cars
and the good roads we do lots of go
ing, have enjoyed every day among
the Indians and had dandy time.
Best regards to ALL"
