NAVY Is
WEAKER

WASHINGTON, d. c., April &c.
Secretary of the Navy Daniels
yesterday made public state
ment that the navy at present is
stronger and more efficient in
every way than it was at the end
of the Taft administration.
He said the U. s. has 225 yes.

OF recent improvements, he
said, the new l4-inch guns in the

COCOANUT OIL MAKES
A SPLENDID SHAMPOO

II you want to keep your
hair in good condition, the less
soap you use the better.
Most soaps and prepared
shampoos contain too much
alkali. This dries the scalp,
makes the hair brittle, and is
very harmful. Just plain null
sified cocoanut oil (which is
pure and entirely greaseless) !,
Is much better than soap or
anything else you can use for
shampooing. as this can't pos
sibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair
with water and rub 1t in. One
or two teaspoonfuls viii make
an abundance of rich, creamy
1ather, and cleanses the hair
and scalp thoroughly. The
lather rinses out easily, and
removes every particle Of dust,
dirt, dandruff and excessive
oil. The hair dries quickly
and evenly. and 1t leaves it
fine and silky, bright, fluffy
and easy to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoa
nut oil at most any drug store.
1t is very cheap, and q few
ounces is enough to last ev-
cryone in the family for
months.

ance on one evening of Tahan
(Rev Joseph X Grifis) In his great
lecture, up From Savagery." Attired
in full Indian Dress he relates as thrill
ing a life story as ever fell to the lot
of any man in America.
Mr.. Griffis' mother was quarter
breed Usage woman. His father was
white man, scout known all over
the frontier by the name of California
Joe. Their home was near the present
site of the city Of Gainesville, in
Texas.
A band Of Kiowa Indians raided that
section when Mr.. Grif1s was but
babe and carried into captivity large
numbers Of the inhabitants. They
killed his mother, and Chief Zepkho-
eete Of the KiowaS took the baby with
him, back to the country Of the Kio-
was, and presented him to his wife,
who decided that his name should be
Tahan, which means Texas man"
The story of his capture was told the
boy long years afterward by an Indian
of the tribe who participated in the
raid.
The boy loved his foster parents as
though they had been his own, and
they took the same care Of him that
they did of their own children He
tells many interesting stories of how
foV oh 4hoAfn~nn 10
ents, respect for the only gods they
knew anything about and of his ia
theirs instruction In hunting buffalo
and other game and In horseback rid |
ing and long distance listening. He
also tells many stories of privatioR on
the southwestern plains and how they
drank water from buffalo tracks and |
ate their meat raw. He learned how
to kindle fires In a pouring rain with
out matches and to tie horse to
hole in the ground; also how to tell
the tribe to which an Indian belongs
by the shape of his moccasin as left In
the dust tracks.
Tahan witnessed the so called battle
between the Indians and Clusters Sew
enth cavalry along the Washita river.
In what is now known as the state of
Oklahoma. The captives, Of whom
Tahan was one, were driven on to the
settlers camp, and it was just follow
ing this that Tahan learned he was
not Kiowa Indian and that the chief
and his wife were not his real parents.
The white men contended that he was
not an Indian and that he was a cap
tive among them, and the story of the
raid into Texas then came out. The
Indians were compelled to give him
up, and one of the white men took
him into Texas, where he slept In the
quarters Of the horses.
One nignt, however, he became so
lonesome and homesick that he took
one Of the horses and hit the trail to-
ward the Kiowa country and eventual

camp and to his old Indian compan-

Old Soldiers Outing as

(By Mai. Will A. McTeer)

A number of the ''boys of '61''
had a days outing at KinzePs
Springs and they appeared to be
boys again in fact.
The grand scenery Of the
mountains with the refreshing
breezes, the fine, ice cold water
flowing from the springs, the riv-
er with it's ripping waters flow
ing down stream, the mountain
peaks surrounding the place all
join in making this one of the
most delightful spots for rest and
refreshment to be found. Add
to these, the hospitable, pleasing
manners and joyful expressions
of Mr.. and Mrs. Kinzel, as we'll as
their attendants, tends to make
one loath to leave when the time
for departure comes.
The boys" were boys again to
such an extent that when some
lively music struck up, one of
them who is said now to be rap
idly approaching 80, jumped to
his feet, and, as if sixty years
had not passed over his head pro-
ceeded to shuttle off the old fash
Toned jig.

How About Your Old Clothes?

In the town of Ozark and in a radius of a few miles of Ozark there are many families in actual want of food and clothing, and in Ozark there are several hun dred homes whose attics are filtered with out-of-style and cast off clothing which should be turned to mighty good account these cold days. Better hunt up a load of clothing, then call Roy Bell or John T. Greer and a wagon will call for it. The calls for childrens' clothing has been very frequent in the last few days and the stock on hand has been exhausted.
