Occuitisn and the Removal OF These
DisHguring Marks on y BOY.

Dishgurinr Marks on y BOY.
When a youngster of ten years I
was visited by plague Of warts. From
my earliest recollection I had had on
my middle finger an old daddy wart,
but at the age stated this had multi
piled to forty or more, one being on
my lip and one on my chin. was con-
siderably worried over my growing
family of excrescences. and one day a
woodchopper in my fathers employ
who acted queerly. never wearing n
hat. for instance. said that he could
take the warts away with him. ! was
quite willing to have him try, and he
took me OF to quiet spot under a
willow tree. from which he cut num-
Der of small branches, and these he cut
again into little bits OF an inch in
length. making a notch in each one,
and this notch he set down over each
wart. having at last a collection of
forty or more of these little notched
sticks. These he put into his pocket.
saying that the warts would go away.
| could never say just when the proph-
ecy was fulfilled, but within six
weeks there wasn't wart on my face
or hands. and there has not been one
since that time. What | want to know
now. as | did then-and the conjurer
would not tell me--is what did it. |

warts went away, and all the medicine
had ever tried on them had no effect

AUTOMATIC FUNCTIONS.
How the subcoo.cIou. Mind Doe, n,
DUTY.


Did you ever think how often YOU
cat and never stick your fork in your
eye? You always stick your fork IN
your mouth. II you ate in the dark It
would be the same thing You would
never put out your eye by putting yonr
fork in it. Why? Because your sub
conscious mind is doing It's automatic
duty and knows very well that you eat
with your mouth and not with your
eye says the New York Herald Many
other actions are automatic. For in
stance. twenty people have gathered on
street corner to board passing car.
The very fact that they are there
means that the car will stop. The first
has already signaled the motorman.
So do the other nineteen. And the same
thing happens II ten people gather to
descend in an elevator. The first com
er rings the bell. SO do the other nine
purely automatically. The sign says
ring so each man takes this sign
to himself and rings. A shoemaker
once had shop in the basement of a
large building downtown. The shoe
maker worked with his back to the
door. Every time the door opened tho
shoemaker turned his head TO the left
to see who entered. For ten years the
shoemaker worked and turned his head
almost every hour in the day Before
many years had passed the shoemak-
er's head turned automatically. and
now that man has spent every cent of
money he has ever made trying to be
cured of this automatic habit. But his
head still jerks. so that he looks over
his left shoulder constantly.

WOOD PULP FOR SURGEONS.


A hospital steward at the League is
land navyyard has lately been makins
experiments in the use OF wood pulp
for poultices and surgical dressings
and has given his deductions in the
Medical Record. Wood pulp In its
crude form is obtained from manufac-
turers and comes in sheets of any size
or thickness. 1t is cheap.
When macerated in water 1t swells
and absorbs from four To five times its
weight in liquid. retaining the water
for a long time. AS the pulp becomes
soft a poultice OF any consistency can
be made by varying the quantity OF
water. BY using hot water the poul'
tice retains its heat longer than one
made OF faxseed or bread. Antiseptic
drugs soluble in water may be soaked
into the wood pulp.
Wood pulp can be nodded when wet
so that It can be used as splint--it
dries very hard. Crude wood pulp can
be sterilized by heating In an ordinary
sterilizer. Wood pulp 10 an ideal ma
terial for the country doctor, as 1t ia

GATES IS WANTED.
Wire and Steel Magnate Accused
of MiScOnduct-TO Re
Arrested.

New York. April 2S-The Times to-
morrow will publish the following:
Developments in the affairs of the
American Steel and Wire company like
ly to cause a sensation were made
known yesterday F'riday). Summons
are now in the hands of the law firm of
Lamb & Voss. for Chairman John W.
Gates of the company's board of direc-
tors and John Lambert, the president,
both of whom left this city for Chicago
last Wednesday, and it is the intention
of the attorneys to take further legal
proceedings which will include efforts
to get extradition papers if Messrs.
Gates and Lambert show no intention
of coming back to this city.
Magistrate Zeller, who granted the
summonses at a private hearing, has is
sued them in blank, so that the attor-
neys can fill in the dates at which they
may be made returnable.
The first complaint in the case was
Washington Seligman, of the firm of
Seligman and Van Antwerp. There is
second complaint whose name has been
withheld.
The summonses against Messrs. Gates
and Lambert were issued on application
made under section GIL of the penal code
of this state, head: Misconduct of Off
GERS and employees of corporations" 1t
reads, in part, as follows:
of any corporation or joint stock asso-
citation who knowingly concurs is MAX
ing or publishing any written report,
exhibit or statement of its affairs, or
pecuniary condition, containing any
material statement which is false, is
guilty of a misdemeanor."
Some time ago it was officially stated
that the directors of the American Steel
and Wire company, in view of the
prosperous condition of the corpora
TONS affairs, intended soon to retire
IS, GOO 900 of the preferred stock, the to-
tai amount outstanding of which $780,
OOO, 900 at par. On the strength of this
statement, Washington Seligman and
the other client of Lamb & Voss bought
Steel and Wire preferred stock When
Mr. Gates shut down y of the COM
panys mills and gave interviews on
Monday, April 16. in which he was quo
ted as saying that the steel and iron
business was in bad shape, and that the
demand for products of his company
was hardly so per cent in volume of
what it should be, the common and pre-
ferred stock began to tumble. They
have never recovered their loss. Mr..
Gates was quoted as prophesying on the
same day that the price of steel rails
would fall to about $40 a ton in a
week, which it by no means did, and the
men who later procured summonses
against them specify this statement as
unjustifiable.

to prevent the ceremony.
In connection with the elopement and
marriage by Justice L. F. Warder three
letters have come to light-two written
by Warder and one by Brokaw. The

this could be easily done.
Brokaw had been boarding in Indian
apoIis with the parents of the bride.
He is said to have two divorced wives
living in Ohio. The affidavit to the
girls age was made by a man signing
his name as T. 9. McAllister, OF Green's
burg, Ind. The parents of the bride are
