Instructions relating 10 tho proper
handling Of a Mauser rifle which were
furnished to Spanish soldiers during
the war with Spain. that during a
moments leisure, they might diyest

was said that one OF the veterans
also had on exhibition specimens OF
hard-tack printed with 6Tst-ald in
structions for dyspepsia. and bullets
tagged with data pertaining to gun

mentioned, together with the remain
