ORIGIN OF WOMAN,
The C~heyennes Say She Was Sent
to Punish MAN.

Among the many interesting traditions
that have been brought to light recently
Ply a gentleman who has been making a
careful study of legends and folk lore of
the Cneyenne and Arapahoe Indians of
the indian Territory Is one that accounts
N an odd way for the origin of woman.
II IS little wonder that the Cheyenne and
Arapahoe Indian braves look down upon
t Their women as inferior beings in view Of
that originally all men were created With
long, sleek, .comeiy tails. These tails
We're their delight, and they adorned them
with paint, beads and walmpum. Then
the world was at peace; discord and wars
We're unknown, but men became prosper
Gus and grew proud and envious and for
got their Maker. He, becoming displeased
at their conduct, sent a scourge upon
them to teach them humility and TO make
them realize their dependence on the
Great Spirit. He amputated their tails.
and from these beautiful appendages
fashioned wonen Women, say the Chey-
ennes, still retain traces of their origin,
for we find them ever trailing after men,
risky and impuisive. There are strange
resemblance between many other Indian
legends and some of the familiar incl
dents in the Old Observation-Disclosures

SMELLING WORK. GO UP IN SMOKE
a Loss of s1,OOO,OOO Suffered in a
Blaze at NatrOna.

Tarentum, Pa, March IA destructive
fire broke out at 6 o'clock this evening in
the works of the Pennsylvania Smelling
Company, at Natrona, and for time
threatened the destruction of the entire
plant A rough estimate places the loss
at 100000, probably covered by insur-
ance, which is placed through the Phila-
delphia offices of the company.
The greatest loss is sustained through the
melting of the tanks, in which gold and
silver solutions were stored, and their
escaping into the river Some fdea of tbia
may be gained when it is said that 100000
ounces of silver and 100000 pounds of
copper were produced monthly. The de-
partment consists of a large number of
frame buildings, covering an area of three
acres, and which contained blast fur
naces, smelling furnaces and lead lined
tanks for storing the gold and silver So
lutions
The works possessed fine electrical an
paratus and chemical appliances, and were
the finest in the United States The in
Xestment in this alone amounts to 1910
900. Nearly 600 men were enploved ana
the plant was being run double turn
The flames spread with such rapi,Itv
Uhat II was with difficulty that the men

the origin of the fire, but 1t was learned

water was allowed to escape into a fur
mace which caused an explosion Tie
