Warts are curious things. They coma
and go mysteriously. although their going
is frequently marked by exasperating de-
lays, and there are almost as many infalli-
ole 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 peoples.
I'm my opinion said a club man. who
was discussing the subject with a friend
one day, Ia wart is merely the outward
correspondence or some mental excre-
scence- Get rid of that and IL goes away

Europe. For about three years I had had
a wart on my little finger. on which 4 had
tried everything L could hear Of, but with
out effect 1t only grew larger.
We'll. in the excitement OF preparing for
the trip and OF the journey itself / forgot
all about my wart, and when l looked for

man sitting in the cabin. writing. Ii
seemed impossible for "A strange man to
be aboard. and the officer told the sailor
TO look again and see IL ne had not
been mistaken. When the sailor returned
he had a slip OF paper in his hand.
The man is not there now, but this
paper lay on the table where he had
been sitting he said. On the sheet

Bats and Mosquitoes.
Philadelphia Record.

1~nllaQelpnla RECORD.
Down in the Neck" said an old resi-
dent OF Long lane yesterday. the people
nave no terror of bats. not even the wom-
en- folks In fact, bats are encouraged
just as soon as the mosquitoes make
their appearance in the early summer.
Now. there's Mrs. Young, who lives in
the lane. She says she is really fond of
bats. She had two sheltered behind picture
frames in her parlor all last winter. When
spring came and she heard them rustic she
moved the frames and let them out OF the
window at night. and recently they came
hack with a family OF three young ones. IN
ole night they cleaned out all the mos
quitoes from the second story. and the
next night she shut the second-stOry win
dOws and opened those on the top floor.
The bats came in and devoured all the
n osquitoss there. OLD Neckers never drive
a bat out of the house. for. contrary 10
popular belief, the creatures are quite
harmless, and keep the air clear OF ali in
sects. They are not covered with yermfn.
as some people think. but. on the con-
trary. have a fur as soft as seaiskin, with
a clean skin underneath. Id rather have
bats in my house any time than mos

Hank Jones. an old trapper who passed
through Portland some months ago on his
wav from Idaho TO the klamath country TO
engage in the business of extirpating coy
otes for the sake of the bounty paid for the
scalps of these pestiferous animals, arrived
here Saturday on his way back 10 Idaho a
very much Disguised man.
He said hat from what he had seen In
the Oregon papers in regard to the number
OF coyote Tcalps which had been turned In
and bounties paid on. he had imagined that
he could make a fortune in the klamath
region IN one season.. The number OF coy
otes he saw running over the cattle ranges
when he got into Klamath county encour-
aged him IN his idea, and he FASTENED to set
all his traps. The first night he caught
several coyotes. but was astonished to md
that only one OF them had & scalp The
others were bald-headed-that is. like old

Notice to Teachers.

The next annual institute will
be held at Salisbury beginning
Aug. IL and continuing two
weeks. The institute will be con-
Quoted along an entirely new
plan, the object being to discuss
methods of teaching rather than
subject matter. No attempt will
be made to prepare teachers for
the examination which follows.
On this account many have ask
ed to be excused, but no such re-
quests have been granted.
The school law makes it the
duty of every teacher to attend
the institute and [ am sure no
Charlton county teacher wishes
to evade his or her duty.
The August examination will
be held at Salisbury August %
and "A. This will be the last ex-
animation held until next March.

Tie DrOuth Broken.

he1ong continued drouth was
broken in this section last Satur-
day morning by nice, refresh
ing shower Of about a half hours
duration, and that was followed
by magnificent rain the great
er part Of Sunday night and a
considerable portion of Monday
morning.
The total rainfall was estimat-
ed at nearly three inches, and an
untold amount of good was ac-
complished by the many times
welcome downpour.
The terrific heat was routed,
wells replenished, stock water
made abundant in ponds, creeks,
branches, etc.; pastures will be
revived and if the rains continue
in sufficient quantity there will
be plenty of grass during the re-
mainder of the season.
Some farmers even claim that
they will make half crop OF
corn, while several others say
that they will raise many ''nub-
bins" that would have been i'm
possible without the rain.
Fruit will also be very much
benefited.
The ground has been put in
fine condition for fall plowing
Some have planted gardens anc
the cloud of gloom that over
spread our fair county and state
for eight or nine week now has g
silvery lining, and the faces Of
despondent farmers and business
men, which have been so long
and SO sad, have rapidly assum.
ed their wonted smiles.
All are truly thankful for the
desirable change in crop anc
commercial conditions, but in oul
rejoicings we must not forget te
ascribe the praise to the great
ness and goodness of God.
| Gov. Dockery's proclamation
setting apart last Sunday weeE
as a day of fasting and prayer
for rain, and which was pretty
generally observed by Gods peo.
people in Missouri, has evidently
been answered.

The Oklahoma Land Lottery.

In Uncle Sans big land lot
terry for the new territory that is
to be thrown open to settlement
in Oklahoma next Tuesday,
August 6, the first and second
prizes in the Lawton district were
drawn by James E. Wood of
Weatherford, Okla, and Miss
Matte R. Beals of Wichita, Kas.,
respectively. These two prizes
are estimated to be worth from
$4,000 to $4,000, each. Miss
Beals is a native of Missouri.
In the Ell Reno district the first
prize was won by Stephen A.
Iolcomb of Pau's Valley, I. T.,
and the second by Leonard
Lamb of Agusta, Okla.
Twenty-Five names were drawn
in each district up till noon the
first day (Monday). At noon
Col. D. P. Dyer, w. A. Richards
and Judge Dale, the commission
ers appointed to conduct the
lottery, announced that no more
names of the lucky ones would
be called from the booth, but
that they would be published
from day to day until the drawing
was completed.
The fortunates from Charlton
county up to yesterday morning
were:
Geo. T. Tisdale and Miss Alma
Singleton, Keytesville; Jos. D. G.
Croco, Cunningham; A. j. Har-
dy and D. B. Howard, Sumner;
Miss Maggie Harris and Luther
Starks, Salisbury, and Chas. A.
Keyte, Brunswick.
Their numbers run from $50,
drawn by Geo. T. Tisdale, to g.
479, drawn by Miss Alma Sin
gleton. All of these numbers
come in the class of good lands.
Considering the number of
Charlton county people who reg
istered, our county has already
gotten her full share of "the new
country" and there are some
thing like 1000 quarter sections
yet to be drawn.
It is suspected That George M.
Dewey of Keytesville or the edi-
tor of the COURIER will draw the
last and most worthless tract in
the entire lot. But George and
"us"are glad we were born hand
some instead Of either rich or
lucky.

Killed by Lightning.

Lille Harmon, aged 6 years,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Fred
Harmon of near Bynumville, was
killed by lightning about 2o'clock
p. m. last Friday.
She and her little brother, about
two years older, were playing at
the corner of the smokehouse,
when the lightning struck the
corner Of the building and ran
down the corner-post where they
were playing. Both children were
struck, and it was thought at
first both were killed, but after
the mother had carried the boy
to the house he began to show
signs of life and has since appar-
emily fully recovered from the
shock. The little girl, however,
never moved after she was found.
The children were struck on
the head, little above and about
half way from ear to forehead,
the boy on the right side, and
the girl on the left. The only
marks that could be seen were
where the hair had been singed.
The skin was not even Redeemed.
But after little while the little
girls left arm and leg began to
look dark as if bruised.
Mr.. Harmon was in ST. Louis,
where he had gone with a ship
ment of stock, when the sad ac-
cident occurred, and arrived
home to his grief stricken family
at 6 O'Clock a. m. Saturday..
The little girl was buried in the
Johnson cemetery, near Lagoon
da, Saturday, July q.

Scott of Green City, Frank Laut

animation September 2 before en-
tering the academy, and Ralph

Courtney and Preston that the
shippers all struck good mar
ket, and that Illinois has splen-
did corn, hay and oat crops all
the way from Jacksonville to
Chicago, but that through the
section of the state adjacent to
ST. Louis crops are nothing like
