HOmeSteaderS To Save
Considerable Time

The following letter. which
will be of interest to homestead
ers on the National Forest, has
been received by Supervisor G.
H. Jennings of the local Forest
service office:
'The Forester has recently ap-
proved our recommendations that
hereafter in passing upon claims
cases, full credit for the time of
actual compliance with the resi-
dence and cultivation require
ments of the law, prior to the
date of restoration to entry un-
der the Act Of June IL, 1906,
will be allowed. This credit will
be allowed where such residence
and cultivation was under special
use permit or merely under suf-
ferance of the Forest Service.
I'm adopting this policy, the
Forester has been guided by the
action of the Department of the
Interior in a similar case clearly
indicating that Departments at
titude." "
This will enable many of the
homesteaders to prove up in from
one to two years less time than
would otherwise been required.

"A Gunner in the
Navy" Ably Presented

The Taylor Dramatic club made
a genuine hit with two audiences
last Friday and Saturday even
ings at the Taylor opera house in
"A Gunner in the Navy" which
proved good enough to be gener-
ally enjoyed by both houses.
The play was we'll done TIN ough-
out and there were a number of
very funny scenes.
Jess Tenney, as Jack Hardy,
was good enough to carry this
patriotic story through so that it
held the attention of the audi
ence. Miss Mary Hatch, as Elsie
Merrill, Miss Inez Perkins, as
Madeline Walby, Miss Estell
Webb, as Nellie, and Miss Dora
Palmer, as Mrs. Casey, all car
ried their parts excellently and
deserve special mention, in fact,
the whole cast was good and
everyone knew their lines. The
orchestra rendered fine selections
between the acts and scenes and
added much to the joy of the
evening. Snowflake sent a good
representation.

Armies of Animals.

Some idea Of the vast numbers OF
animals that Africa used to support
can be gained from a passage in w:
Scully's "reminiscences. It was Mr..
Scully's good fortune in 1892 to wit
ness the last great trek of springboks
from east to west of the Bushmanland
desert-a trek on a scale such as no
man will ever see again. Fencing, the
increase Of population and the distrib-
ution Of arms have almost eXterminat-
ed the once innumerable host. He
says, 'I have stood on an eminence
some twenty feet high, far out on the
plains, and seen the absolutely level
surface as far as the eye could reach
covered with resting springboks, while
from over the eastern horizon the ris-
ing columns OF dust told of fresh hosts
advancing"

Barney Earnato's Comedy.

In the journal South Africa the late
Sutton Vane, the dramatist, once told
this story Of Barney Barnato: "He was
the best amateur melodramatic actor
l ever met, a little rough; so is dia
mond, but the fire is there. He played
Claude Frollo in Victor Hugo's Els
meralda' splendidly, 1 playing Quasi
modo, the hunchback, with him. In
the great scene on the parapets the
hunchback tries to throw the monk
Frollo) into the street Mr.. Barnato
resisted vigorously. He seized me by
my hump, which came off in his hand.
1t was a sponge bag stuffed with va
rious articles. He shook his fist at me
and then, with quiet smile, threw the
hump from the cathedral roof. Look
ing over, he exclaimed: Good heav-
ems! I have killed policeman! Ire

audience

house, and, as there was a pleasant
view from the summit of the gate
house, he used frequently to sit there,
accompanied only by his dog. Here it
was that he was found one afternoon
by a wandering maniac, who crept up
stairs and saw the feeble old man doz-
ing.
Leap, Tom, leap"' he cried. and at
the same time tried to throw him over
the battlements. More had not phys
1cal strength enough to resist, but he
had the wit to say:
LET us first throw this little dog
over

the dog.
Pretty sport" said the lord chance1-

M. Esnault Pelterie, one of the best
known aviation experts, is of the opin-
ion that the day will come when COM
munication between the earth and the
moon and stars will be possible in
aeroplanes
Providing that radium Ia one day
found in larger quantities and that
some way Of Harvesting its energies
Is discovered by scientists, he calcu.
lates that an aeroplane weighing a
ton should be able to cover the 233, 500
miles which separate the earth and
the moon in three hours and five min
utes.
About 800 pounds of radium would
be necessary to provide the fuel fol
the Journey. At the current price
about $10,0Oe,o00 worth would be re
quirsd.

Shoes and Nerves.

Travellers say that the reason why
nervous people don't exist in China is
because it is there the custom to wea1
soft shoes. There is no doubt that hard
soled, creaking footgear is responsible
for much nervous wear and tear as
well as much physical fatigue in west
ern lands. Tired feet and tired nerves
will find solace in a warm foot bath
with a handful of sea salt in it. Move
the feet about or keep them still as
best pleases you as long as the water
is pleasantly warm; then dry them
with rough towel and put on a fresh
pair of stockings.-Dundee Advertiser

The Earth's Journey.

Our worlds journey in space is a
long one, if we are to accept the con-
cluSiOns Of DR. Turner of the Univer-
sity observatory of Oxford and Profess
scr III. G. Plummer, royal astronomer
of Ireland. Recent astronomical work
suggests that the sun and it's planets
form Il single unit in vast system,
the stars in which, though separated
by enormous distances, have a COM
mon center of gravity, and in response
to gravitatio all move in unison like
a stupendous machine. The paths Of
these stars, instead of being nearly
circular, like those of the planets
around the sun, are much like the oscil-
latiOns of a pendulum. The calcula-
tons show that on this elongated
course our sun must travel 100000, 900
years before completing a revolution
and that it passed near the center less
than million, perhaps not more than
100000, years ago and is now on the
outward stretch.

Scythe Was a Fixture,

Three years ago last summer old
Bill Shiftless got an Industrious streak
on and concluded he would cut some
weeds in his back yard. He went to a
neighbours house and borrowed a
scythe. When Bill got it back home
he was all tagged out and hung the
scythe over the limb of peach tree
and told his wife he would wait until
morning to NOV the weeds. I passed
by Bills house yesterday and the
scythe was still hanging over the
same limb.-Kansas City Star.

Bread of persia.

Persian native bread differs little
from that used a thousand years ago.
The Persian oven is built of smooth
masonry work in the ground. usually
Of those now in use have been used
for a century. The dough is formed
into thin sheets about a foot long and
two feet wide and slapped against the
side Of the oven. 1t bakes in a few
minutes and is set out to cool.
