DIR. W. G. Overstreet had letter,
addressed to his friend, DR.. HARE,
lying on his de>k the other day. 1t
was addressed to Wien, Austria. Not

-"Warts," remarked Coroner
Muehl few days ago, are very Gu
rious things. Thy come upon a
person mysteriously and disappear
sometimes under seemingly ridiculous
circumstances. They seem sometimes
to yield to the most trivial influences
and many an Old housewife possesses
the magic power to Danish them. have
heard old women say that sure way
to get rid of wsrt was to get two
common s.raws, cross them upon the
excresence and then bury the straws
in the earth. After they had lain
there long enough to partly rot away,
they should be taken up, and then it
would be found that the wart had
disappeared from the individual seek

known Tenth Missouri Cavalry" said
Mr.. Cofey, "and these bugle notes
called back the old war days and ex-
perieaces. There were numberless diff
ferent calls-reveille, mount and dis
mount, feed, boots and saddles, water,
and charge. 1t is quite remarkable
how soon and how accurately the cav
airy horses would learn and respond
to these various bugle calls. They
distinguished between them as intelli-
gently as did the men and
governed their movements in
many ms ances with even
more promptness and accuracy
than would their masters. They be-
