Scalped by Indians 56
Years Ago; Dies in Bed
CJreat B*nd, Kans.?Scalped and left
for dead by Comanche Indiana on the
famous Siinta Fe trail 56 years ago,
Allen YV. I-Jd wards lived to u ripe old
age, dying at Ida home at Waukomls,
Okla., at seventy-four. He Is survived
by his wife and several children.
It was while he was a boy of eight
een that Mr. Edwards almost lost his
lif?? under the scnlping knives of the
Indians in Kansas. With a company
of freighters he traversed the Santa
Fe trail with a Russell, Majors and
Waddell wagon train hound from Ne
braska to Santa Fe.
At Walnut creek, near (ireat Bend,
the wagon trnln was ambushed by a
war party of hostile Comanches.
Edwards had been cut off from the
wagon train at the first attack and
stunned by a blow from an Indian war
club. Thinking his victim dead the
Indian warrior coolly sculped the hoj
ami then left him to join the assault
against the wagons which had been
drawn up in a circle by the freighters.
British Insurance Pays
for Surgical Operations
London.?Surgical Insurance Is the
newest thing In England. Several com
panies now Issue policies for a small
premium each year which guarantee,
if the holder is obliged to undergo a
surgical operation, that all expenses,
including the services of a high-class
surgeon, at the best of private hos
pitals, will be paid. Applicants for
such Insurance must pass a medical
examination, and men over fifty and
women over forty-five are not consid
ered desirable risks.
The fifty-year age limit In the case
of men as against forty-five Ui the
case of women rather upsets the pre
vailing ldeu that the expectation of
ll'e is greater in a woman than a man.
The head of a family may also, In
the same policy, Insure his wife and
rhildren against operations. Dental
operations are not included in the poli
cies.
Water Is Literally
Their Staff of Life
The most amazing race of human be
ings is undoubtedly the El Molo, a
tribe of "Ushmen," who inhabit the
desert wastes bordering Lake Rudolf,
in Kenya colony, Africa. This tribe
represents the only known specimens
of semiamphibious people and it is a
curious fuct that any tribesman dies
if he is kept without water for about
three hours. As a rule they drink every
hour during the day, for even an hour
and a half without water cuuses crack
ing and bleeding of the lips, the Bos
ton Transcript says.
The El Moro tribesmen spend their
days swimming in the waters of I.ake
Rudolf and lishing from frail rafts
constructed with palm branches. Fish
is almost their only diet and they have
no opportunity of varying their menu,
unless they are fortunate enough to
spear a hippopotamus. The water of
Lake Itudolf is undrinkahle to anyone
hut the El Moro. for it contains a
large quantity of soda and has ati oh
jectionable taste. The proportion of
soda in that lake Increases yearly, and
it Is believed to be this fact that lias
caused the "fishermen" to become a
deformed race.
No Remorse
When Are sweeps through the woods,
one feels that at last there is some
thing that can do justice to a hornet'?
nest.
An Adventurer
A good clerk appears to be per
sonally interested in what >?>u want
to buy. He appears so, because he is.
Each sale is a little ad\enture for him.
When Pep la Needed
We have no delight In reading a
newspaper which "never hurts our
feeling." Who would have a diet of
nothing but butter, unsalted at that?
Prunes Redeemed
Prunes suffer under undeserved
calumny. To 3 rents' worth of prunes
add -0 cents' worth of clotted cream
and they ore redeemed.
A Real Disaster

COMPARISONS
Diamonds and charcoal are
essentially carbon yet their values
and usefulness are as far apart
as the poles. So it is with
Scott's Emulsion
Many imagine that all oils are
similar, but when the usefulness
of cod-liver oil is compared with
all other fats, the difference in
value is as far apart as common
charcoal and diamonds.
Scott's Emulsion is cod
liver oil made pleasantly
available to build up those
who are rundown or weak.
