YARNS OF THE DAY
Taking the Count.

A doctor in an Iowa town had been
very busy for several days and was
worn out and sleepy when he got to
bed one morning about 2 o'clock.
Just as he dropped off a summons
came from a house half a mile away.
The lady of the house, the call said,
was dying of a heart difficulty.
The sleepy doctor got into his clothes
somehow n went to the house, where
the patient very stout Woman-Was
in bed, breathing stertoriously.
The doctor could find nothing spe-
cially wrong. but the woman was pan
icky.
Cough" he ordered. She could not.
Then he put his a over her heart and
said: Count slowly"
Next thing he knew he woke to hear
the woman counting family:

AusTRIA's REAL AIM.

The master spirits of Austrian
diplomacy once went upon a mission
to the capitals of Europe in the at
tempt to persuade the nations to for
bid the formation of the italian states
into united nation. The attempt
failed. But Austria still retains her
dread Of new powers, her jealousy Of
new nations, her system of obstruo-
ton toward such neighbors as she may
direct or coerce.
According to The Outlook, which
talks as If with a thorough understand
ing Of the situation, Austria is not
nearly SO troubled over the prospects
Of Servia and Montenegro extending
their boundaries over lands which Aus
trta herself covets as she is troubled
over the formation of a permanent
Balkan confederation. She does not
want Servia to gain access to the sea.
She looks with Jealous eye upon the
wonderful success of the Bulgarians.
But Austria worries Jess over land
grabbing in which she shall not share
than over the raising OF a new owe
upon her borders. Her appeal to the
other members Of the triple alliance is
said not only to include taking the
spoils from the ~victors, but taking
over the complete control, and possibly
Undertaking the complete subjugation
% the Balkan states.
In her isolation, the United States
Of America AN scarcely think OF such
diplomacy as this being based upon
anything else than pure greed and
frank l~ittleness. But Austria is a sort
OF hub among the nations Of Europe.
She is placed in the middle of the prize
ring. Her diplomacy is that of one
who feels that existence depends on
keeping every rival as weak and as
small as possible.

new RULING FOR
nOMESTEADERS
IMPORTANT CHANGE IN HOME
STEAD LAWS REGARDING TIME
OF CULTIVATION IN AN ORDER
JUST ISSUED BY ASSISTANT
COMMISSIONER.

The department of the interior has
just modified the new homestead law
in d most important particular. By
the order just issued by the general
landefice and signed by S. V. Proud
fit, assistant commissioner, the matter
of time of cultivation of homesteads is
modified so that it is practically ruled
that instead of a homesteader having
to cultivate so much each year his final
proof will be allowed on his showing
that his total cultivation shows the
required average. The circular, which
is addressed to the landoffice, reads
follows:
Your attention is directed to the.
following provision in the act approved
Aug. "a, 1912. making appropriation for
sundry civil expenses of the govern
ment for the fiscal year ending June
80, 1913.
"That the failure OF the homestead
entryman to give notice Of election
of making final proof S required by
the act of June 6, 1919, being sec.
statutes of the United States relating
to homesteaders, shall not in any wise
prejudice his rights to proceed in ac-
coFdance with the law under which
entry was made.
In view of the foregoing paragraph
50, circular No. 1922, of July Is, 1912,
is no longer in force.
I'm this connection you will observe
the following provisions Of paragraphs
Is and 10 of said circular.
BY this section / am authorized
under rules and regulations to be pre-
Scribed by me, to reduce the required
area Of cultivation, Acting hereunder,
| have prescribed the following rule
to govern action or where the home
stead entry was made prior to June
6, 1912, but through failure of cleo
ton must be adjudicated under the
new law.
Respecting cultivation necessary to
be shown upon such an entry, in all
cases where, upon considering the
whole record, the good faith of the
entrymen appears, the proof will be
acceptable If it shows cultivation Of
at least one-sixteenth for n year
and of at least one-eighth for the next
year until final proof, without regard
to the particular ear of the home
stead period in which the cultivation
Of ~one-sixteenth of one year and OF
at least one-eighth for the next year
until final proof, without regard to the
particular year of the homestead period
in which the cultivation of one-six-
teenth was performed,
1.-THE new law also requires that the
proof shall be made within five years
from date of entry, and If the entry
is to be administered under that law
the department is not authorized to
extend the period within which proof
may be made. but when submitted after
that time, in the absence OF adverse
claims, the entry may be submitted to
the board of equitable adjudication for
confirmation"

Basket Ball at Gym Friday
night; Nezperce Hi VS.. Reubens.


Just as most of our citizens had
finished supper last Tuesday evening
and we're preparing to enjoy a siests
or otherwise, as their wont might be,
the alarm of fire was sounded, feebly
at first, but soon in most emphatic
tones, as stronger hands reached and
manipulated the bell rope. The FIRE
was readily located by the populace
as it had eaten its way through the
roof of the T. P. o'connor home,
which sets well up on a hill in the
northeast part Of town, by the time
the alarm was generally responded
to. The hose carts we're hurried out
but deserted before the FIRE was
reached as the house stood beyond
reach from the city water mains, and
little could have been accomplished
had water been available, for when
the blaze vas discovered by the only
two occupants Of the house, Nike
and Miss Tessie o'connor, it had
so far enveloped the structure that
they we're able to rescue nothing but
a trunk and center table. Beyond
the total destruction of house and
contents no damage was done.
The origin Of the FIRE seems to
have been from a defective fiue in
the attic over the kitchen.
Insurance to the amount of 5000
vas carried on the house and $500
or the furniture. The loss consider
ably exceeded this.
Mr.. and Mrs O'conner we're alb
sent on a visit at the home of their
son-inlaw, VIM. Charltan, of near
Spokane at the time of the FIRE, re-
.uning last night, accompanied by
