Clubwomen Fear Stephens
Will Overlook Them
Historian May Ungal-
lantly Ignore The Sex
in Fire Book

There is a fear abroad among the
women of the Outdoor Art League that
the sex is to be sighted by Professor
Henry Morse stephens in his compila-
ton OF events which crowded upon each
other thick and fast on and after April
is, and investigation must be made,
even though an idol be shattered.
Henry Morse Stephens, professor Of
history, University Of California, and
director OF university extension, B. A.
Oxford, 1880; NJ. A, Oxford, 1882, has a
wonderful familiarity with the happen
ings in the world for an indefinite Pc
riod of the past; he has lectured on
kings and queens, the rise and fall of
empires. political situations, church plots
and beheadings with a wisdom and
knowledge that have satisfied the pow
ers that be in several universities, but
there is a suspicion that he may have
met his Waterloo in dealing with the
local tale.
At the meeting Of the Art League
yesterday afternoon one member re-
ported that she had seen in some paper
an article on the history Of the earth
quake and fire that Professor Stephens
is writing under the supervision Of the
history subcommittee of the rehabili-
tation committee. In this a list was
given OF those who were 10 be espe-
cially mentioned for their bravery and
other achievements at various mo-
ments, but not one woman was even
vaguely referred to or hinted at as
having participated in the brilliant
deeds that iIlumined those dark days
The Outdoor Art League, under the
direction of its able chairman, Mrs.
Lowell White, has long been noted as
having the courage of its convictions.
The unanimous opinion of the mem bers
yesterday was that the matter must
at least be looked into, so Mrs. White
was instructed to write to Professor
Stephens and ask If women are indeed
10 be omitted. and If so if the neglect
is by his choice or by the direction of
the history committee. Mrs. White said
last night:
I am not sure that such is the case
and that we are to be left out I saw
in the papers some time since that all
kinds of people were being asked TO
send in their impressions of the disas
ter. but according to the reports our
side of the affair is being ignored l
think that too little has been said thus
far Of what women had TO endure and
the bravery they displayed in regard
TO their hardships. and If we are TO be
left out Of this history certainly think
il is time TO rebel
I have been instructed to write to
Professor Stephens, who has always
been so courteous and helpful to US,
and inquire into the true state of af-
fairs We will take no definite action
in the matter until we hear from him.
Il may be the fault of the committee,
and If so we viii communicate with
them
The question awaits an answer and
is vital issue in the inner circles OF
woman clubdom.

Did Indians Use Parchment

From the Kansas City Journal.
A local newspaper man at Otonga, Okla,
made a very lucky find the other day by
accidentally learning about an old Indian
history. The details are written out on old
parchment paper and proved to be an ,ac-
curate history of the Cheyenne and Arapa-
hoe Indians. 1t gives an account of their
religious rites and beliefs along with the
traditions of the tribes. 1t deals freely
with the tribal government for over, 100
years and is very extensive in covering the
relations with the United States govern
ment. -
Many important fights with troops and
description of the burying grounds where
some officers were inferred are among the
things. 1t was originally written In Indian
language and has been translated by
George Bent, an old-time Indian scout and
plainsman.
The affairs of several other Indian tribes
who have been affflated with the Chey-
ennes and Arapahoes are dealt with in
the history.
Among the things dealt with is the his
tory of the sacred arrows that were stolen
by the Pawnee Indians and secured only
recently by the Cheyennes by exchanging
several hundred ponies.
The translation will be put in shape and
published in some newspaper or maya

A TRAVELLERS TALE.
Tiger Eaten by Python in a Tree in
Ceylon.

From the London Express
A thrilling narrative which was publish
ed recently by well-known magazine told
how the author was chased into a tree by
tiger and there found a python await
ing him.
The tiger began to climb the tree and
while the python was engaged with a par
rot the author crawled along a sloping
branch. When the python returned to the
place where it had left the writer it found
in his stead the tiger. which, according to
the story, was almost full-grown man
eater.
1t is then described how the python seized
and strangled the tiger. and after crush
ing its body into a pulp was in the act
of swallowing it when the author, having
descended the tree@and4 regained his rifle
shot 1t.
The story Is authenticated by ethe au-
thor's sworn statement. but according to
DR.. Blandford of the geological society and
other eminent natural!sts, tigers in the
first place cannot climb trees: secondly do
not exist in Ceylon; and thirdly, when i'm
mature do not attack human beings unless
they are wounded. In, addition, .pythons,
according to DR.. Gunther. are unable to
swallow anything larger than a haf-grown
sheep.
