SKETCH OF ZETETIC CLUB.

The Zetetic club OF Weeping Water
was organized June IA. 1884, at tho home
OF one Of the five ladies who desired to
increase their store Of knowledge, that
they might be better, more companion
able mothers. that they might keep in
line With the. march of mental progress,
and that they might slook up and be-
you'd the things that are around"
Membership rapidly increased to
twenty. which was the limit decided
upon. Only married ladies being eligi-
BILE to membership. From then until
now the interest has never tagged.
Members rarely withdraw from the club
except upon removal. Attendance is re-
msrkably regular. Indictment indeed must
the weather be to keep the members
from ''Zetetic."
10 the fourteen years of it's existence
some sixty ladies have been connected
with the club Many OF those who have
left are now living somewhere between
the Atlantic and the Pacific. Some have
been instrumental in organizing similar
clubs, one Of which 10 Indiana 10 named
Zetetic, after the Weeping Water orig.
iral. Two only, of the charter members
now remain.
Four times death has entered and
claimed its OVID. The first programs be
ing written ones they cannot be repro
duced for this brief sketch. Among the
first subjects chosen were "Authors and
Their Works."
A year vas spent upon the history o.
the Reformation" following it thro'
Switzel land, England and France. Fol-
lowing this came English History and
Literature" Topics Of more miscel-
laneoue character were given q trial
among which were the United Stats
Mint" "flistory Of Old Coins" "Impor-
tations and Expectations" the much
vexed mormon Question" and History
Of the Jewe, Ancient and Modern The
ever present woman Question" was not
ignored. Such topics as women as

'.Bueiuess Openings for Women" have
caused some lively discussions az we'll as

was given place on the program. More
profound thought brought up the "Con-
cord Philosophers,' followed by papers

the club entered into full sympathy with
the immortal Shakspere. So interested

Columbian year, when il seemed wise to
give our attention to the Worlds Fair.

presented upon scientific and musical
subjects. Home and household affsin

tries and the laws pertaining to women.
For two years the study was devoted to
the history Of Germany. For several
years past the programs have been
intersperced with music, which adds
much to the pleasure Of the meetings.
This year an attractive feature has
been the child study department. Un-
der the auspices Of its leader, Mrp. Heller
OF Omaha lectured to an interested audi
ence. An open meeting on the came
subject attracted many mothers who
joined in the lively discussions which
followed papers upon such subjects as
"Will Breaking or Will Training" "Edu-
cation Through Child Study" and
Rights Of Children in the Home" Con-
siderable time has been devoted to par
liamentary Law" which seemed 90 for
midable at first, hut seems less 90 upon
nearer acquaintance. Original stories.
poems, eongs and essays have elected
much applause.
Book reviews find place upon the pro-
gram, also the literature and topics OF
the day.
Honorary membership has been &C.
corded to resident mimic GERS wives. Be-
ing. as a rules very busy class of
women, no obligations are imposed upon
them, but they are privileged to attend
all our club meetings. both social and
literary, and to take such part in our
program as they may wish
Roll call is responded to by quotations
from given authors or some stated sub
ject and many bright gems are gathered
in this way.
The subject is too great, We cannot
enter into the minutis OF it. What is
given will show something of the variety
of the material which has BEEN chosen
az subjects for study.
The social features of the club are q
large factor in its life. There are num-
berless teas. evening socials and
luncheons in which the husbands some
times participate. On one occasion they
were 90 grievtd because omitted from q
midday luncheon that they went in a
body to the hotel to dinner and ordered
their bill to be sent to the Zetetic club
for payment. An occasional banquet is
given when the husbands are always in
cluded and often few friends Of the
members are invited also. and when the
club chooses to keep open house or hold
an informal reception, all are welcome.
On all these occasions the club color

Gus in the decorations.

rider and bore man and horse to the
ground. The trooper was not pursued,
and when he returned to FL Banty and
reported what had occurred, squad OF
20 men was ordered out. On reaching
the spot where the tragedy had oc-
Cured they found plenty of evidences
scattered around. but it was not until
next day that they found the bodies OF
man and horse. The lion had killed the
mail rider by blow of his paw
smashing the skull over the right e'r.
The neck of the horse was broken. Inc
nan had been picked and carried along
the road for half d mile and then flung
aside. The body of the horse, which
weighed about 1900 pounds, had been
dragged through the bushes distance
of 50 rods and partly devcured. At
one spot where ravine seven feet VIDE
crossed the lions path, he had lifted the
body clear of the ground and leaped
across with it.
This was the beginning Of series OF
adventures and tragedies which made
tie big lion famous in many lands.
Forty soldiers from each garrison were
detailed to hunt him down, and were
assisted by 200 natives. The hunt was
kept up for two weeks, during winch
time the lion killed three natives. two
soldiers, and four horses, and escaped
unwourded. From the first 1t was
realized that he Was a queer beast.
He never roared at night nor growlesi
when sprirging at his victims. Not
withstanding his great size, he moved

craft of fox While the soldiers were

be ordered out again, when party OF
French hunters arrived from Port st.
Louis, on the coast. They numbered
six, and as they made ready to hunt
down the beast they were joined by
four officers from the garrisons. BY
the offer of large bribes about 20
natives were induced to lend their as
sistancc, and the hunt was entered upon
with great ardor.
The 80 or more men were divided
into parties of five each and stationed
at different points to beat over certain
territory. For the first three days moth
ing was seen of the lion. Then one
night as four out of the five men in
one party slept while the fifth stood
sentinel, the lion made a sudden dash
up to their horses, killed three and van
ished. This was at ten o'clock. At
midnight the beast was in another
camp IA miles away. He had entered
camp and was looking into the door of
a tent wherein two men slept. when the
sentinel saw him and fired his rifle.
The lion did not bound away, but
stared at the sentinel for few seconds
and trotted off. Two days later, after
the parties had consolidated and were
beating along the banks of ravine,
one of the hunters suddenly disap-
peared His rifle was found soon after,
but it was four or five hours before the
mystery was solved. Then his dead
body was found on an open spot three
miles from where the lion had
stealthily crept up and seized him from
behind. The beast had caught the man
by the shoulder and given him such a
wrench that his neck was broken. The
only marks to be found were on the
| shoulder. The body had not beer
dragged, but carried, and the lion had
not turned aside for any obstruction.

The first person to report the pres
ence of the Lion of Massina in
the province of that name in the
French possessions in the Soudan
was soldier. The province takes its
name from mountain 500 miles east of
the sea coast. \ Asingle soldier was accom-
panying the mail rider between the
military posts of FL Hanty and Walla-
do, and they were riding by night on a
road sKirting the base of he mountain.
Lions had been plentiful in that local
ity before the establishment of the
posts, which were % miles apart, but
the garrisons had been turned into lion
hunters until the game had been ex-
terminated or driven out. In the year
1872 soldiers and natives killed 20 lions
and trapped Is alive. During the year
1873 not even the roar of lion was
heard within 30 miles of either post. At
five o'clock in the afternoon of May ).
1871. the mail rider ard trooper left the
pos, CT FL Hanty. At half-past seven,
when they had made a distance of
is miles, and were about to water their
horses at a stream crossing the high
: way, the lion suddenly appeared.

got safe away. He did not kill the
man to satisfy his hunger, but dropped
the body after carrying it half mile.
In no case did he eat any of his human
victims, but would sometimes devour
almost the entire body of d horse. Aft
er IA fortnight or so the natives re-
fused TO render any further assistance,
claiming that the beast was possessed
of an evil spirit and even understood
all that was said about him. The SOL

abandoned for time.
