He Cured A Savage’s Stomach Ache And Became Chieftan Of Cannibals Chlel Cuviboranandl, plumed head man of the Guaymi cannibals, has Just returned to New York after an other visit to his adopted home in the hinterland of Panama. In New York he Is more prosaically known as A. H. Verrlll, author of 60 book;; on travel, ethnology and archeology Mr. Verrill’s elevation to chietuom among the cannibals came as the result of an expedition he made In search of the fabulously rich gold mine of Tisingal, in Costa Rica whose secret has been guarded for hundreds of years by the Guaymi cannibals. After incredible hardships he hap pened to reach the dwelling of King Polu, cacique of the Shayshan Ind ians, guardians of the lost mine. And there fate Intervened, to dis close the perilous secret. For the King’s daughter, aged eight, was stricken with an agonizing cillc. Verrill cured her. "Come with md” bade the king. Endless hours Verrill followed him. At last the king rhow ed him the mine. "There, hidden In rank growth ” says Verrill In the American Maga zlne, "lay wealth beyond one’s wild est dreams. Gold and the white mans lust for wealth have always been the curse of the Indians, and I am thankful that the secret of this lost treasure-place, the world’s richest gold mine, is so effectively guarded.” The Guaymis, Verrill explains, live among mountains that are still un explored. Verrill was warned not to go among them, but. In spite of 411 that, he went. For many days he dw'elt as a guest In the house of their Chief Neonandl. Atfer Verrill had been some time with the chief, a huge dance-festi val was organized for him, on a Re mote mountain-top. But just before the festivities the ’’dance chief,” or medicine man fell sick. “I diagnosed his trouble as only colic, and gave him some medicine,” said Verrill. “The others gathered about me and watched me rever ently, for word had spread that I was doctoring the dance-chief, a sacred personage. If he sought my help, I must be great Indeed.” Well, the witch doctor recovered, and VerrlU’s fame grew swiftly. Aft er the dance he w'as led into a tem ple and up to the altar. “I was absolutely duniiour.dec says Verrill, “for I realized l was being made a ‘medicine chief. When the ceremony was ended, I w,as a full-fledged Guayml chief, honored as no white man had ever been—ad because I had cured an old Indian's stomach-achet" “To whit do y«b attribute you; longevity^’ lnqutrt ft the young man “To then fact,” relied the old man, conclusively, "th^l (I never died.’* North Carolina.

Woman Weds A Man Never Seen Sixty-Two Tear Old Widow Lands G9-Year-Old Indiana Widower By Correspondence. A romance between two people who had never seen each other, wn ; culminated in Vlncenes, I«U., at five o’clock Saturday before Easter when the couple were married. They are now Dr. and Mrs. M H. Evans, of Joplin. Before Saturday they were Dr. M. H. Evans, of Jop lin, and Mrs. Ellen Winslow, of Hertford, Perquimans county. North Carolina, who is the historian of her family. The bridegroom is 69, while the blushing bride doesn’t deny that 62 summers as well as winters have passed over her head, yet they seem to have the affection for each other like the love of a couple in their teens. Their acquaintance came about through a queer twist of fate. Three years ago, Dr Evans wrote to the county Clerk at Hertford and asked him If he could furnish information concerning his ancestors who had settled there after coming to Amer ica from Wales. The clerk turned the matter over to his mother, Mrs. Ellen Winslow who is a historian of note. She gave the matter her personal attention ahd began communicating with Dr. Evans. Ur. Evans’ family was traced hack to 1650, when Peter Evans, one of the doctor's ancestors came to America from Wales to escape the Iron rule of Cromwell. More than a year ago Dr. Evans' first wife died, but the historic mat ter had not been complete and the doctor and Mrs. Winslow continued their communication ■ with each other. Finally, the history was nearly completed. Dr. Evans wrote for a picture of Mrs, Winslow. She sent a negative. The letters became more regular and Intimate. The feeling was mu tual and the couple agreed to get married. That was to have been last Christmas. Dr. Evans started for Hertford but was forced to turn back because cf motor trouble. Plans were changed. Vincennes was picked as the town they were to be married in, and Eas ter was set as the day. Mrs. Winslow came by train. Dr. Evans drove the 500 mites from Jop lin, arriving at Vincennes Just 30 minutes before train time. It was a happy meeting at the station. .. "She looked the way 1 thought she would,’’ said Dr. Evanif. ' ’ j :d "And he looked the Way I had lilm pictured, too," the new Mrs. Evans broke in with a smile. Each have three children," but there will be no "family quarrels," they say.
