' A NORWEGIAN WORD.
Origin of "Budstikken," Which Means
"Spreading the Newt."
Tills peculiar word Is frequently
foil nil In Scandinavian communities ns
the name or a newspaper, sucb ns St.
Cloud HmlstikUen. It Is n Norwegian
void, l.UOO yours old nt the least nud
lias a very peculiar origin.
In those days, when the coasts of
Norway were ravaged by pirates, the
Inhabitants had to resort to nil sorts
f devices to warn those nt n distance
of the approach of these piratical craft.
When one was seen on the horizon a
man went up to the top of a mountain,
whore lie lighted n beacon (Ire. This
could be seeu for n long distance and
was known to be n warning. When
Jt was seen In the distance another
f.re was lighted on another bill until
nil over the country fires blazed from
every hilltop and the people prepared
to defend themselves.
They also had a system of messen
gers. The man who first sighted the
sail would take an arrow and send It
to his neighbors. From town to town
this arrow was sent until all were
warned. These were rather primitive
tvnys of tel;raphing, but were so ef
fectual that in the course of twenty
four hours all Norway knew of the ap
proach of pirates.
This system of spreading the news
was called "budstikken," and when
there were no more pirates the news
papers became spreaders of the news
mid so were appropriately styled "bud
stikken." Exchauge.
WESTMINSTER HALL
lis Bargain Counters, State Trials and
Coronation Banquets.
Westminster hall, whose old gray
, Trails have seen coronation banquets
nnd state trials, used to echo with the
bargains driven at shops or stalls
which at one time fringed its walls like
a modern bazaar. These were kept by
booksellers, toy dealers, sempstresses
and milliners. The rents nnd profits
went by right to the warden of the
fleet An engraving of the busy scene
was made by Mosely and prints taken
therefrom by Gravelot before 1773
showing how

A Fair Offer.
It was a political meeting In the east
end of London, and the M. P., an ex
ceptionally popular man, was address
ing his constituents. Tbe politician in
question rejoices in a luxuriant crop
cf hair. The audience was sympathet
ic for the most part, but there was
one uaan in the front row of the au
dience who made numerous interrup
tions. He was a coal heaver, appar
ently, and had but recently been heav
ing coals.
"Get yonr hair cut!" he shouted dur
ing a most pathetic passage in the can
didate's speech. The well known catch
phrase Beemed particularly applicable,
so a good many of the audience laugh
ed. But the M. P. was equal to the oc
casion. "1 will make a bargain with that
gentleman," he Bald. "I will get my
hair cut if he will get his face wash
ed." There were no more Interruptions.

Her Resignation,
"rapa," she said, "I am very angry
with Geraldine."
"What's Geraldine done?" asked her
father.
"Why, I told her a secret last Bum
mer," said the little girl indignantly,
"and she has just told me she's going
to tell it"
"That's very wrong of Geraldine.
Has she any excuse?"
"Why, I told her It was wicked to
tell a secret, and what do you think
she said? She said, 'h, I know, but
I've resigned from that secret'
"Papa," 6he concluded earnestly,
"you can't resign from a secret, can
you?"

A Father's Last Question.
A New York business mnn suddenly
said to his daughter, "Helen, have 1
been a good father to you?" "Certain
ly yon have. Why do you ask such a
question?" she nnswered. There was
no reply, nnd the girl, turning, saw
that her father's head had fallen for
ward on Ills breast. She went to him
nnd found that lie was dead. It was
only a case of heart failure, with noth
ing supernatural about it. Yet some
times it seems as if Death sent n se
cret messenger ahead to warn the
snlrlt of his coming, and the soul thus
warned rises and awaits the Presence
standing. No one could ask to die
with a kindlier thought In mind than
that which this man had. nor can ev

High School Notes.
Last Friday the Heptonian Lit
erary Society held its midterm
business meeting. Officers for
the coming semester were nomi
nated and other business trans
acted, after which a very pleasing
program was presented. The
society is made up of three classes
of thejhigh school and each class
is taking its turn in giving the
program. Last week's was given
by the Seniors and very much ap
preciated.
County Superintendent Notson
visited the high school Friday and
was very much pleased over the
progress being made. He made
a fine talk to the assembled classes
that will inspire them to better
work in the future.
Although the contest given by
Patterson & Son created consid
erable interest there were nojt as
many compositions handed in to
the judges as they would have
wished .
The winners of the fountain
pens are: Arthur Crawford, Sen

Henry Cohn, Sophomore and
Grace VanVactor, Freshman.
The winner of the pen in the
Commercial department was
Cecil Hale, for the best Rexall
announcement.
Land Cases Heard.
Bert C. Thomas and Paul B.
Power, special agents of the gov
ernment in the land office depart
ment, have been in Heppner all
week, engpged in taking testi
mony in several protested home
stead proof cases. Numerous
witnesses have been examined
for the purpose of convincing the
government officials that the
claimants were acting in good
faith and making bona fide proof s
on their claims. The passage of
the Borah-Jones billjin congress
will likely do away with a lot of
the red-tape in getting tittle to
government land by the settler,
and incidentally it may also lessen
the incentinve to fraud as many
impossible requirements now
placed upon the homesteader will
be eliminated.

Caterpillar Engine Arrives.
The Holt Manufacturing Co.,

six miles north of Lexington, are
going to try the experiment of
plowing with a caterpillar engine
for motor power. The outfit ar
rived at Lexington on Monday
evening and was taken out to the
farm Tuesday. It has a ten-plow
attachment, and plowing by this
kind of a machine will get over a
lot of land, providing theso does
not prove to be too soft. The ex

interest by people of the neighborhood.
