HOW IT FEELS TO BE scaLPED.

NHlCdSO lItOuHus There is a man living now in Eng 1 land who can tell how it feels to be scaiped. His hair Is now hanging in the public library in Omaha. That Is. | part of il Is there. lie has fringe around hls head still and another part
 may still be on an Indian reservation. l if the Indians are at all careful dpout preserving relies of that sort 1 William Thompson. an Engllshman. once in the employment Of the Union Pacific Railroad. Is the man whose hair
 is scattered over two continents. He is getting along nicely with a small rem
 nant of hls original headgear. Thompson was one of i've men who were sent on a handcar out of Omaha in the early days of the Union Pacific to splice a telegraph wire. It was in August, 1867. The railroad, only ex- tended to North Platte. The rest of the trip to Denver was made by stage. and
 a periIous trip 1t was There had been
 trouble along the line, and the squad
 of five men were sent out to locate and
 remedy 1t.
 It was located near what is now Gen.
 tral City. It was discovered that the
 Indians had cut the wire. Scarcely had
 the lInemen stopped their car when
 they were fired on by a party of Chey- SOANNC@~sS9 grass. The men returned the fire,
 but seeing that they were hopelessly outnumbered took to their heels.
 Thompson was shot in the arm while running, and the next moment one of his pursuers knocked him to the ground by a blow with tomahawk. He was stunned but not rendered unconscious. He had the presence of mind to felgn death. and the Indian supposed that all that was necessary was to take the scalp. As 10 what follows Thompson says:
 With the deftness of an expert the savage whipped out his knife and made incisions around the top of my head. When he had cut the skin loose all around. doing 1t with great speed. he Jerked the hair off. The sensation was just as lf a red hot iron had been touched to my head
 The Indian in his hurry tucked the scalp lock lnsecurely in his belt That Is why 1t happens to be In the Omaha library. Thompson did not dare to move. and while he lay there. pretend ing to be dead and suffering from hls wounds, another Indian found him. He decided there was a little more hair on the dead mans head which might as well come off. so he repeated she some more around the corners.
 In the meantime other Inaians had placed obstructions on the track From where he lay Thompson could hear the approach of a frelgh. train carrying Government supplies. He could not flag 1t, and he heard the engine crash Into the obstructions. The next mo- ment the train was A wreck. with the Indians firing on the train crew.

retribution upon the villyun of will l yuns when Mir. Hoar smiles--and when l he finishes one of the yarns he looks out of the car window for a long while getting it all settled and slowed away in his mind, suppose. before he takes up another one. He doesn't take any interest whatever in the comings and goings of passengers when he has got a stack of dime novels, and I have seen him lean out of the car window in Philadelphia station and buy a couple of apples from the fruit boy while still keeping his eyes glued to the pages of his absorbing work of fic- tion. The stun rests his mind, of course. and gets his thoughts away from the more serious affairs of Amer ican public life. Nobody familiar with the characteristics of American public men of eminence needs to be informed as to how profound a student Senator Hoar is and has been all his life. He is I should say, easily the best read man now in the Senate. It shows the cathollcity of his mental taste when he can derive an equal amount of en- joyment from Virgil and from a con- sideration of the miraculous deeds of Riley the Red-headed Roarer of the Rockies.
 The late Tom Reed was another eminent New Englander who was de- voted to red-hot paper-covered yarns, but his bent was toward the Histl Eureka" type of detective stories. He read them every time he got a chance. and he was as absorbed a looking statesman when he was in the middle of a Cap Collier or an old Sleuth' story as can be imagined. He read them with particular gusto when his mind was worn out with the exciting affairs of the Congress during which the 'Czar' title was fastened onto him. He used to retire to the Speakers room, leaving one of his colleagues in the chair. and reach into his desk for his dog earned detective yarns, and from a wearied-looking distraught leader he would lapse into the very picture of happy juvenility as he turn ed the pages of the tremendously ex- citing narratives of the deeds of the extraordinarily slippery detectives
 He hated to be disturbed, too, when he was right in the middle of one of these yarns. I remember one occa- sion when two or three of his Republi-

He purchases them at a little cigar and news stand on the avenue between the Capltol ana Sixth Street. The proprietor of the .tora always smiles broadly when he sees MT. Hoar entering the place ana turns to the counter where the dime noyels are stacked up without even in- ouiring of the Senator what he wishes. He merely gathers up the latest assort- ,aert of Gouge-E Eye Georges and Dan tbe Devil Destroyers, and Billy the Rites and wraps them in neat pack age after the Senator has cast his eve over the titles with an expression of mingled delight and anticipation.
