Decree of Pocahontas

At a very interesting council held Thursday evening at the tepee (K. of P. halD. during which MT. and
 Mrs. Miller and Mrs. Crowder were Guly initiated into the mysteries of the order. and several other applica- tions received it looks very favorable for the realization of the class of 25
 young women for the team work.
 It was decided to comply with the
 desire of the committee of arrange
 ments for the forthcoming Aztec
 feast, to be given under the auspices
 of the board of trade and a com
 mittee was appointed to prepare a
 float for the purpose.
 It was also decided to inject into
 the social functions of the lodge the
 historical and instructive features
 tha: are now being used by Mari
 oopa Tribe No. 10
 These records have been found to be productive of increased interest by members of the order. and are the trails by which those whom the Noble Redmen were privileged to designate as palefaces, can become better acquainted with the doings of the order, and are a source of edu-
 cation in the history of the primitive
 red man. dating from the year E. C.
 500 to the present time. and are beneficial to those interested in the study of Indian history, blending as they do the fraternal teachings of the order with the many traditions. legends and superstitions, with which | the history of these great people is | so wonderfully replete, are founded upon the actual events as recorded l by such well-known authorities as Van D. Honeyman, F. M. Blair, and | other historians, and being presented Tn such an entertaining manner that they add materially to the already in | teresting councils of the order. and afford an opportunity for the devel- opment of many talents now lying dormant in the personnel of the tribe
 The historical trail of the evening was that of Chief Ticoc (Wounded leg), and would seem by strange coincidence. to be in perfect har- ] mony with the customs Of the Aztec
 nation, for the conduction of this particular trail comes under the charge of Bro Pheby, who is suffer- ing from a dog bite on the leg. tNote by the Editor: Don't set your dog on him, as we desire to save him for a more noble death. This is not to be construed that it is our desire that he meet the fate of Chief Tizz COG, who was poisoned by q woman | in 14S6.)
 Whilst this chief enjoyed only very brief administration, we are in | clined to suspect that Chief Pheby holds this particular chief in some eNcusable reverence. for he it was who imported into his province some architects and thus established an
 era of architecture, evidences of which are frequently being un- | earthed. This chief began the build ing of the great Temple Teocalli. which was the scene of such fear full slaughter of victims of religious
 sacrifice at the ceremonies of dedi- l cation by Chief Ahuitzotle, already
 noted in the report of the doings of Maricopa lodge No. 19.
 i We were most pleasantly enter
 tained by our young visitors, Misses
 Blake and Derting. by piano solos,
 and recitation by Rossa Pheby. The beautiful singing by Miss Dor othy Wilson, given the evening be- fore, displayed an exceptional talent, which will not be overlooked by a | wide-awake social committee ap- l
