Fly EMIL ANDROssY

Vienna, February 10.--(Special. )-The well authenticated report that Count Aerenthal. the Austrian foreign minister. is to retire at the conclusion of the reeu- far session of the delegations, will be re- garded with regret by all those who are anxious for the preservation of the peace of Europe for Aerenthal has been one of the most powerful influences for peace in Europe during the recent crisis and for this reason has been the target for bitter and persistent attack on the part of the Austrian war, party.
 It is we'll known that there have been very serious differences of opinion be- tween what is the party in Vienna. head ed by the heir apparent, and Count Aeh- renthal. who recently scored an impnr- tant success in the enforced retirement of Baron Conrad von Hotzendorf, chief of the general stan. Baron Conrad, it wss openly stated at the time, desired to force hostilities with Italy. but was prevented from doing so by the decision of the peace loving Emperor, who practically compelled him to resign his post.
 The ostensibie cause of the foreign min ister's retirement will be his health. He has been and is very sick man. but if 1t were not for the persistent warfare against him he undoubtedly would hold on until the European situation is clarl- fled.
 An amusing story has just come to light from the village of Bunyevac, near szege- din. A small farmer, named Naval, when attending the cattle market, met an old friend named Slnko They retired to a cafe, where they remained talking for a long time. As time went on they became mellowed. and their tongues were rem dered less discreet and Sinko in burst of confidence intimat ted 10 Naval that he had at one time sighed for the latter's wife, who was celebrated throughout the region for her beauty.

Talk That Is Just Talk

Who has talked most about dong

and lawyers. What have they done?
Nothing that you can notice.
When the people get a chance,
there is a difference. In Oregon, TIT
people initiated and adopted a law
providing that the supreme court
should not reverse a decision for err
rors made by a trial court, IL SUD
stantial Justice had been done. Tie
law also provided that, even II the
supreme court reverses a case, IT is
to render the judgment that the low
er court should have rendered, II the
record sent up will enable IL TO do so.

counts. And when 'neurotics' ana

Your Anatomy

That employers liability commits
sion, which has just reported to con-
gress, puts valuations on various
parts OF our anatomy that will be dis
puted.
Compensatory payments for an arm
are for ~ months; leg, Go months;
an eye, 30 months; thumb, 10
months.
II you had 10 lose either an arm OF
a leg. which would you choose? Much
depends upon what your calling is but
probably the majority of whole people
would vote 10 do without the leg. Yet
almost invariably, the one-armed mar
looks upon the one-legged man as the
mere unfortunate, and vice versa.
Undoubtedly, the fellow who earns
his living by brain work, and espe-
cially he who can have a beautiful
typewriter lady, would sacrifice the
arm. But the vast majority or work
ers are dependent upon use OF their
hands, and so that commission, is
right in placing the higher value on
the arm.
| But when 1t comes TO placing much
higher valuation on an eye than on a
thumb. IL is evident that that com
! mission never lost q thumb. Man Is
much more beautiful with two eyes
than with-nne,-bu t-it-is \ fact thai
