with a grip In his hand en-
tered the smoker and queried Of the
half dozen Of us there: Co.,.
"Gentlemen, permit me to ask II
any of you have ever been scalped
by the Indians?'
That's a mighty funny question
to ask" replied fat man who was
smoking rank cigar.
II acknowledge that it Is, but I
! have a reason for asking. I myself
lost my scalp about two years ago."
1.-THE devil you did," wheezed the
fat man. You wasn't regularly
scalped, was you?" ..
II was. See here"
And he removed his hat and showed
fringe of hair around a pate as
shiny as q silver cup and as bare as
billiard ball. The fat man looked
at it for minute and then said:
But there Is no scar here"
mo, that's why I came here.
call your attention to my Universal
Lini,nent, which applied as soon as
possible after losing my scalp. and
the wound healed as you see. Not
the slightest scar to be seen. No one
would ever suspect had been scalped.
