Warts are curious things. They
come and go mysteriously, although
their going is frequently marked by
exasperating delays, and they are al
most as many infallible cures as there
are warts. the only trouble with these
cures being that they are useless when
applied to the particular wart you
happen to have. They are only good
for other people ). I'm my opinion"
said a club man. who was discussing
the subject with Il friend one day. "a
wart Is merely the outward CORE
spondence of some mental eXcresence.
Get rid of that, and it goes away.
Let me give you a bit of my own ex-
perience," he continued. Last year
l went to Europe. Fol about three
years l had had a wart on my little
finger. on which l had tried every
thing | could hear Of, but without eff
feet. 1t only grew larger. Well, in
the excitement Of preparing for the
trip and of the journey itself, | for
got all about my wart, and when I
looked for it, about six weeks later.
it had vanished, without leaving the
slightest mark. l simply forgot it, and
it had no mental condition to feed on.
! see you have one on the back of your
hand. Forget all about it for a few
weeks. and it will go away of ITSELF

Married in spite of His Motber.

Say, | can't get married tonight"
was the beginning of a conversation
over a telephone about 1880 o'clock on
a Wednesday night several weeks ago.
WHY" was the natural reply of the
usher to whom the groom-elect was
talking. We'll was the reply, the
old lady has destroyed my wedding
suit; everything, even the shoes" Such
was the actual plight of a groom. who,
in spite of his mother, was married at
a well known North Baltimore church.
The usher was quick-witted enough.
however, to realize that the day was
not Sunday and that "a full-dress suit
could be gotten downtown. The nut
fit was secured. but the waiting cler-
gyman and guests, who were told that
the delay vas caused by sudden illness
in the groom's family, do not yet know
the real facts. The mothers disap-

SUCCESS OF WEST POINT.


United states Military School Probably
the Best In the World.
The course of study in the United
States Military Academy at West
Point is extensive, but it is very thor
oughly covered. The secret OF the sue
cess of the academy is simple. Its
keynotes are two. In the first place
the academy board-the faculty-is
composed of permanent professors
who teach mathematics, physics and
the like, and of officers temporarily
assigned who are the heads of the de-
partments of military engineering. tao
tics, law. ordnance, etc. The perma-
nent staff maintains traditions that
have been approved by the experience
Of war. Of camps. of active service.
All the present officers of instruction,
without exception, are graduates Of
the academy and represent what is
best in the whole service. The sec
ond keynote of the peculiar success Of
the school consists in the proportion
ately large number of instructors con
pared to the number of pupils. The
register for 1901 bears the names of
sixty-three officers who are charged
with the instruction Of 391 pupils.
There is one instructor to six pupils.
nearly. This enables the classes to be
divided into small sections for reci-
tations. In mathematics, for example,
the sections consist of about ten ca
diets who recite to one instructor for
ninety minutes daily. The mathe-

of two years. No single days work
can be neglected without detection.

risk of losing his commission in the
army, and besides this. he is punished
