SHIVELY & DRISGOLL Phont 63-X A NORWEGIAN WORD. Origin of "Budrtikk.n," Which Maana "8prading th. Nawa." Thla peculiar word la frequently found in Scandinavian communities a the name of a newspaper. inch aa St Cloud Budstllcken. It la a Norwegian word. 1,200 year old at the leaat and baa a very peculiar origin. In those days, when the coasts of Norway were ravaged by plratea, the Inhabitants had to resort to all aorta if devices to warn those at a distance If the approach of these piratical craft When one waa aeen on the horizon a nan went up to the top of a mountain, where be lighted a beacon fire. Thla could be aeen for a long distance and waa known to be a warning. When It was aeen In the distance another Ore waa lighted on another hill until all over the country Area blazed from every hilltop and the people prepared to defend themselves. They also had a system of messen gers. The man who first alghted the tall would take an arrow and send It to his neighbors. From town to town this arrow was aent until all were warned. These were rather primitive ways of telegraphing, 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 newa was called "budstlkken," and when Ihere were no more plratea the news papers became spreadera of the news ind so were appropriately styled "bud itlkken." Exchange.

London Mall. A Fair Offer. It was a political meeting in the east and of London, and the M. P., an ex ceptionally popular man, was address ing his constituents. The politician In question rejoices In a luxuriant crop of hair. The audience was sympathet ic for the most part but there was one man lu the front row of the au Uence who made numerous Interrup tions, lie was a coal beaver, appar ently, and had but recently been heav ing coals. "Get your hair cutl" he ahouted dur ing a most pathetic passage In the can lldate's sieech. The well known catch phrase seemed particularly applicable, to a good many of the audience laugh ed.
