PATAG0NIAN INDIANS.

Customs Of the Remnants Of a Once
Powerful Tribe.
Normally the Tehuelches, as the
Patagonian Indians are called, are a
peaceable and kindly people. yet they
are tmpulsive. capable of strong preju-
dices. very revengeful and-often
with good reason-suspicious of stran-
gers. They are not to be trified with
and when under the influence of drink
are brutal and dangerous. They show
love for their children and wives and
kindness to their old people They are
divided into numerous tribes or groups,
each having its chief or cacique, upon
whom the burdens of government rest
but lightly.
They believe in good and an evil
spirit. whom they propitiate, and have
many stories. myths and superstitions
connected with the sun. moon and
stars. while the Staying Of horses and
drinking of blood form a conspicuous
part Of their superstitions. birth. mar
riage and death ceremonies, many of
which are most repusive.

The Incident Thsa Won Tom corwin's
First Fight For Congress.

The Incident Thss Won Tom corwin's
First Fight For Congress-.
'sWhen saw the oil painting Of Tom
Corwin in the treasury" said an Ohio
man. 81 could not but recall the story
told in Corwin's old home of Lebanon
OF how he won his first election to
congress. He was a young man and
already noted as an orator, but he
had hard district and little encour-
agement for election. He was making
his tour Of the counties and one night
stopped at the double cabin of farm
er known to be very fervent advo-
cate Of political policies of the oppo-
sition. Corwin talked politics care
fully with the old man and his sons
before bedtime. but had little hope of
winning single vote in the house
hold. In the morning the I'D man
took Corwin outside and announced
that every voter in the family would
be for him ON election day. This
astonished and delighted Corwin. who
could not help but ask why the sudden
change OF heart
The old man told how the opposition
candidate had stopped at his house
one night the week before and how
the host and wife had watched the
candidate go to bed To their disgust,
be actually put on nightgown like
those worn by a woman. This dis
gusted the rugged old pioneer. Then
Corwin was told how the old farmer
and bis wife had watched him go to
bed. and as he had not bothered about
a nightie they determined he was not
taken to frills. Corwin could see the
humor OF the incident. and In every
succeeding speech he told that night
shirt story on the other candidate,
holding him up to scorn. The result
was victory for Corwin. and be
owed It all to that story of Shirt

II properly handled silk is the strong

terials. but the various processes Of
manufacture that remove much Of the
natural gum cause It to lose SO large
an amount of It's weight that unscrup-
ulous dyers and manufacturers resort
to loading" dipping the thrown silk
into solution Of bichloride Of tin
Some are not content with restoring
the original weight of the raw silk. but

three or four fold. This operation
makes the skeins more valuable. but
It destroys the durability Of the fla
ments.
Stretching the threads to their elias
tic limit, so that given weight will
weave a greater number Of yards, and
steaming to give the material an IN
natural luster are other processes that
prove profitable to manufacturers, but
costly to the consumers and that cause
many people to regard silk as an I'M
certain and treacherous fabric. with an
inexplicable tendency to split, crack
and fall into holes. even though pack
ed away in drawers or hanging up.
The use Of cheap. inferior and de-
structive dyes is another practice
equally injurious and perhaps still
more common.-London Family Her

DANDRUFE, FALLING
HAIR STOPPED
Harmless, Old-FashionedRem-
edy Brings Back Color to Gray
Hair and Makes It Grow.


How many old-fashioned remedies are
being used, which goes to show that it
is hard to improve some Of our grand
mothers old-time, tried remedies. For in
stance. for keeping the hair dark, soft and
glossy nothing equals our grandmothers'
sage tea" Although, by the addition of
sulphur and other ingredients, this old
fashioned brew has been made more eff
fective as scalp tonic and color re-
storer.
Nowadays, when our hair comes out or
gets faded or gray, instead of going to
the garden or garnet for herbs and
making the ''tea" ourselves, we simply
go to the nearest drug store and ask for
a bottle Of Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Hair Remedy.
Druggists are authorized to sell it
under guarantee that the money will be
refunded il it fails to do exactly as rep
resented.
This preparation is offered to the
public at fifty cents bottle, and ia
recommended and sold by all druggists.

he would preach it. He finds the Bible
to teach universal opportunity for
salvation and everlasting life, but that
the gift of God, eternal life, will be
given only to those who will avail
themselves of the opportunity. Upon
all others will come the wages of sin,
namely. death. Those who sin wilful-

Armed Posses Seeking
Negro With White Tot

BURLINGTON. N. J., July 21.-Two
posses of farmers and county officials
are today searching the woods along
Schuyler Ferry road, near this city, for
a giant negro and a small white girl in
short dresses, who, the police believe,
Is the victim of an abduction. Farmers
have sworn to take the negro dead or
alive.
Ten days ago a young girl disappeared
from the home of her parents, in
Charleston, near here. In some points
the description of the girl coincide with
those Of the missing Charleston child,
for whom the police of the county have
been searching.
Deputy Sheriff Joseph Fleetwood and
Constable William fleetwood are in
charge of the search for the negro. A
farmers wife first saw the girl when
the negro fed from a hedge, dragging
the child after him.
