INDIAN PRINCESS FIGHTS WHITE
DEATH.
("Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
Williamsport, Pa., Sept. 28. "Ze-Bo-Nah,"
an Indian princess, 25 years old,
and a daughter of a chieftain of the
New York Mohawk tribe, has started a
tuberculosis camp of her own along the
Susquehanna river several miles below
this city.
It is Pennsylvania's quietest con
sumption sanitarium. And it's an ef
fective little institution, though the
number of patients is limited to two or
three at a time. It is a single tent,
packed away snugly in the fringe of
forest along the river, and it is as still
as the Sahara desert.
"Ze-Bo-Nah" gives her patients the
Indian outdoor treatment. She makes
them fish, row, svim, walk, and do
everything that helps to make them ro
bust. Then, by way of emphasizing
primitive methods, she keeps them
sleeping under the canopy of the trees
night after night. She treats them to
herbs of her own selection, and to some
ofthe Indian delicacies.
The cured consumptives number 20,
and all have been restored to health
through her personal care. She finds
her daily delight in fighting the disease
that has claimed to many of her own
race, and that also has such a tight grip
on the paleface. .
"It's a little private war I'm waging,"
she declared determinedly. "Some day
I'll get a reward. I ask none1 here;'1
CHALLENGE!
In order to create interest in athletics
among the student body and afford some
diversion we, . the undersigned, propose
to fake the initiative and start the pig
skin oval rolling by measuring brawn
and prowess with the blacksmiths of
Chemawa. We, the Farmers, hereby
challenge the blacksmiths to a game of
football on Chemawa 's gridiron in the
near future, exact date to be settled by
mutual agreement.
The Farmers.
