As she turned to go Douglas, his
eyes twinkling, said: wait. won't

"He seems very NICE"

GOVERNMENT SCOUT.

JoHu beury NucVA, kuoNh 40
Uncle John" in Del Rio, where he
lives-known as "Gunpowder" in the
West that wss-faced the Sioux alone
few days before Custer led his men
to death in the tepee village of the Lit
tie Big Horn river.
As a government scout, it was the
business of "Gunpowder" to visit. the
Sioux village as a spy, while Custer
and Reno waited on the safe side of
Sioux territory for news of the war
ring tribes strength,
"Gunpowder" rode out alone TO-
ward the forbidden mountains OF the
Sioux into the traps they had laid for
"psle faces" and, with bands OF In
dians circling around him, finally
reached the wigwam village where
Sitting Bull" big chief Of the Sioux
nation, was preparing for war.
MUST AVOID SUSPICION.
my only salvation was to avoid
suspicion" Mr.. Wilcox explained. Il
met the warriors like friend, asking
for the chief. L unsaddled my horse,
took off my ammunition belt and I'M
loaded my guns. Granted an audience
with Sitting Bull, / told him that /
was looking for lost mining outfit
and described some miners who
were located not far away. The
chief therefore believed my story, and
invited me TO be his guest for the
night.
Sitting Bull and 1 had supper TO-
gether and the chief confided the fact
that I had better stay with him in his
wigwam, as the braves were going to
hold a heap big pow-wow in honor of
their intention to scalp all the whites.
/ peeped out later and saw about
5000 warriors doing the war dance
that meant death to the pale face"
ESCORTED OUT OF CAMP.
After spending the night with the
chieftain who, a few days later, mas
sacred Clusters men with his blood
thirsty warriors, "Gunpowder" was
given an escort out of camp toward
the mining outfit he was supposed to
be looking for. 1t took hard riding
to circle around the watchful outposts
Of the Sioux, back to Clusters camp.
After delivering his report, he was
sent 500 miles away for reinforce
ments.
IF Custer knew there were 5000
warriors waiting for him, why did he
attack with only a handful Of men,"
Mr.. Wilcox was asked.
Politics." he replied. "Custer was
ordered to do what he did
WINS COGNOMEN.
"Gunpowder" received his title in
most peculiar way. A party OF
several scouts had started out with
three days rations, into the noun
tains Of Montana and Wyoming. They
were supposed to receive supplies
from a relay post on the third day.
The supplies never reached thcm-and
they were gone 80 days. They had to
live on what they killed. Wilcox grew
so tired OF meat-cooked even with
out seasOning-that one day in deS-
peration he "salted" his slab OF buffa-
10 with gunpowder, with the fond
hope that he would thereby season it.
After that he was known as Gun
powder" throughout the West.
WOUNDED IN BATTLE.
"Gunpowder" took part in the fam
Gus battle of Plum Greek, where So
men fought overwhelming numbers OF
Indians and finally retreated to Fort
Corncy, 12J miles away, fighting every
mile of the way, with all but two OF
their men injured. Mr.. Wilcox was

.Dimples on Her Arms Add
Greatly to Milady's
Charms.

Want 10 elbow your way to beauty,
girls? II can be done!
But that wouldn't be polite" you
say
Oh yes it would. As polite as a
little boy the week before Christmas.
All you need is grapefruit and
two elbows. As San Antonio is the
market-place for luscious Rio Grande
Valley and Winter Garden grape
fruit, that part Of the recipe for sue
cessful elbowing can be obtained
easily--for the price of about one
dime.
THE INGREDIENTS
Given the grapefruit and the ell
bows Everybody has the latter, some
people more than others,) you first
eat the grapefruit-for no reason ex-
cept that it wouldn't do to waste
one-and be sure to leave plenty of
grapefruit juice in the shells. Then
add some quinine to the juice (Which
will not make the task a bitter one,
as you may think), and place your
elbows in the grapefruit cups, deep
in the solution you have just mixed.
Lean on your elbows and also on
the grapefruit for some time, and you
will emerge with dimpled elbows!
Yes, sir--don't mean maybe.
Acid and quinine contract the skin.
And after elbows have been soaked
in the Contracting" mixture just re-
vealed, dimples appear when the arm
is Strengthened out. ....
The grapefruit-quinine mixture was
first tried in New York.
San Antonio girls have discovered
that it works"
ALL FOR ONE DIME
Never again, therefore, need I'M
dimpled maidens bewail the smooth
condition Of their elbows. Nevermore
need these sad words rend the air
"Dimples, dimples, eyeryhero-but
not a dent for me-"

Fire and Police Commissioner Phil

traffic any worse than those that in

So the commissioner didn't do a
thing but put up new traffic signals
at the intersection Of Houston and
North Alamo streets and the plaza.
The signs. located in front OF the
postoffice, read: No left-hand turns.
This has big significance to the

because after one makes the ."drag"

too long a time to return to Houston
