Tammany-Indian war chief, saga
more, sachem and friend OF the white
mans best remembered today by
the society that bears his name. But
he was famous century before Tam
many Hall was built
Historians were few and amateur
romancers were many in the Pennsyl-
vania wilderness of olden times. So
for one true story of the great Tam
many there are 20 fanciful legends.
And oftentimes 1t is hard to separate
fact from fancy in telling of the old
sagamore's career.
Tammny was ruler of the Delaware
Indians early in the seventeenth CEN
fury and was leader of the Lenni-Len-
nape confederation of New York and
Pennsylvania tribes which in those
days waged eternal warfare against
the fierce six Nations" and the saw
ages who lived on and around Manhat-
tan island. He was king, rather than
a chief, and ruled his wide domain
wisely. In various native dialects he
is called Tamenand, Temane, Tam
inent and Tammany His huge pal
ace-wigwam" Is reported to have stood
upon the site of Princeton college
Welcomed William Penn.
When William Penn and his fellow
Quakers landed in Pennsylvania, with
a charter to Eettle that region, it was
Tammany, according to most accounts,
who first greeted the great English
man and who made him and his COM
panions welcome guests of his ma
ton" Tammany it was who smoothed
the way for the newcomers and in
duced the neighboring tribes to receive
them peacefully. He is said to have
been a party to PENIS celebrated
treaty with the natives, and to have
cemcnted so close a friendship be-
tween Quakers and red men that,
while English-Indian wars waged con-
stantly in nearly all the other colon
les, Pennsylvania was immune from
bloodshed.
So mighty was Tammany and SO
deeply revered that his tribesmen in
later years were wont to bestOw his
name upon any person on whom they
wished to confer special honor. The
Indians looked on him as sort of god
and would travel hundreds of miles to
bring him their troubles for adjust
ment. 1t is probably to some of these
worshipping Indians rather than to
any really authentic facts that we owe
the following tale of Tammany's Prov
ess, a story that used to be told and

women,s Convention Closes.

NOTlSUS SiOSSSs
The fifteenth annual convention
of the Wisconsin Federation OF
Women's Clubs came to a harmonious
close at Green Bay, after it had been
freely predicted that a warm fight
would occur on the floor Of the con
vention over the redistricting plan.
After discussing the subject the del
egates decided to put the matter up to
a special committee, which will make
its report at the meeting in 1912. Mrs
w. H. Crosby, president, appointed
Mrs. Charles Morse, Berlin, chairman
of this committee. The delegates in
dorsed the sentiment of a resolution
pertaining to woman suffrage, but did
not adopt resolutions.
The next meeting place has not yet
been decided upon and it developed
that four cities are now in the run,
ming for the 1912 meeting. They are:
Racine, La Crosse, Eau Claire and
GAINESVILLE, Eau Claire and La Crosse
are the cities being considered as
most probable places for the next
meet.
Mrs. G. M. Caples gave & talk re-
garding the National Conservation con
gress which was recently held in St
Louis. She pointed out the fact that
there were three delegates from the
entire state of Wisconsin appointed
to attend this big meeting, while other
states of greater distance sent large
numbers.
The state of Missouri" she said
sent 453 delegates to the convention
and far distant Alaska had represen-
tation of "a"
The majority of the delegates are
hard at work in an effort to bring
about an endowment fund of $4,000
Mrs. w. H. Crosby, state president
of the federation, announced to the
delegates in meeting that all of heT
personal expenses while travelling
throughout the state during the year
will be donated to this fund.
A plan was agreed upon by the del
egates to have every member of the
different clubs in the federation
pledge themselves for $1.25, and il
this plan can be carried out the rails
ing of the $4,000 will be assured.
Mrs. Morris, the first president OF
the federation, announced that she
would pledge the sum of $1.25 from
each member of the Berlin Woman s
club, thus boosting the fund SIS.

If Your Food Fails to Sustain You,
Change.

One sort of diet may make a person
respondent, depressed and blue and a
change to the kind of food the body
demands will change the whole thing.
r A young woman from Phila. says:
For several years I kept in run
down, miserable sort of condition, was
depressed and apprehensive Of trouble
/ lost flesh in distressing way and
seemed in perpetual sort of dreamy
nightmare. No one serious disease
showed, but the 'all-over' sickness was
enough.
Finally, between the doctor and ia
Their, l was put on Grape-Nuts and
cream, as it was decided l must have a
nourishing food that the body could
make use Of.
1.-THE wonderful change that came
over me was not, like Jonah's gourd,
the growth Of single night, yet it
came with rapidity that astonished
me.
During the first week I gained in
weight, my spirits improved, and the
world began to look brighter and more
worth while.
"And this has continued steadily, till
now, after the use of Grape-Nuts for
only few weeks, I am perfectly well,
feel splendidly, take lively interest In
everything, and am changed person
In every way" Name given by Postum

A townful of Shawnee Indians, clad
In weirdly fantastic mourning, howled
the death-dirge about a great wigwam
one day in 1925. In the wigwam lay
a hideous, one-eyed man, whose name
had long been known and hated by
every white settler in the west. He
was Ellskwatawa, the Prophet
brother of the famous Tecumseh and
deadly foe to the United States gov
eminent.
A few days before this scene OF
noisy mourning the tifty-year-old
prophet had been in the act CT light
ing his pipe when he sank to the
ground, lifeless His followers had
been horror-struck For they had
deemed him immortal. His death
meant the loss of their wisest, most
powerful leader. They laid the body
In state upon pile of furs in the
wigwam and began the death dance.
When the dancing and feasting were
ended the tribe marched in sad pro-
cession to the prophets bier to carry
him to his grave. AS they neared the
pile of furs the silent figure upon it
suddenly sat up.
A Weird miracle"
81 have been in Paradise for three
days." calmly remarked the supposed
ly dead prophet, as his frightened
tribe-folk shrunk back in horror. Il
have talked face to face with the
Great Spirit and have brought you a
message from him. Call the nation to-
gether that | may impart the tidings
to ALL"
When the awed nation" had as
sembled the prophet proceeded to de-
liver his message" which included a
command that the Shawnees cease
from lying, stealing and drunkenness,
and which in various points strength
ened the prophets authority over
them. This was but one of many SIM
liar tricks by which the one-eyed
genius held his peoples allegiance
and reused them to frenzy OF 10y
atty toward himself.
The prophet led strange, adven-
turous life, many of whose incidents
can scarcely be explained by natural
causes. AS brother of the mighty
Tecumseh, he won war fame and
wealth. He helped Tecumseh by over
awing the Indians with miracles" Be-
tween them the brothers swayed near
~ all the western tribes. In 1908 the
prophet secured large tract of land
where the Tippecanoe and Wabash
rivers join, and he rallied to his stand
ard more than a thousand braves of
different neighboring tribes. To his
followers he was more than a mere
leader. He was also their medicine
man" and supernatural master Yet,
despite all this, he governed SO badly
that soon all but 300 Of his men de-
arted Nothing but Tecumseh's aid
