The apostrophe does not always appear after the O to Irish spelling.--Washington Star. At he was lighting his pipe, a young Shawnee suddenly went into a trance. No one expected such a thing of him. He was dull and given to drinking to excess, and trances were so rare that perhaps the Shawnee in that v i l l a g e h a d n e v e r heard of them. So they took It for granted that he was dead, lamented loudly after the fashion of their people, and prepared for a funeral. •„ Nothing watt further from their -thoughts than that the supposed corpse would revive, and one may imagine their consternation when the Indian spoke again. However, he had that to tell, which caused thorn to forget their tears: "I have seen heaven,, Call the nation together that I may tell (hem what has appeared to me!" V He announced that he had been given a wonderful new revelation from the Master of Life. , He had visited the spirit world and seen behind the veil of past and future. He had found that evil is punished and good rewarded there, and he also learned that the Indians were not living a good life. Here he denounced witchcraft and strong drink, and stated that those who continued to drink would have a flery punishment hereafter; the pain of burning would be theirs, and flames would shoot from their mouths. Sorcery and "medicine" were also Wrong, thfe prophet stated, but other of the old Indian customs were "the right ones and should be reinstated. The old should be respected and the infirm taken care of. Property should be own^d In common, as had been the case in ancient times. White men should not be allowed to marry into the tribe, and in fact, civilization should be rejected entirely. The Sfiawnees should return to the old ways of life, ag. they were before the white men 4me. And thus, said the revelation, happiness would come oace Again to the red man's heart. His Indian hearers received these commands with considerable excitement. The belief in a Messiah was strong In every one of the vanquished race, and this seemed to be a message of hope. The strong personality of the prophet Impressed them, and although he was blind In one eye, the other seemed to hold a magnetic power. The name he- now assumed was Tenskwatawa, "The Open Door," and he became known to the whites simply as the "Prophet." It is doubtful from his intrigues if he had any real belief in his "trances." He would have appeared more genuine if he had avoided politics. However, he adroitly directed suspicion of witchcraft against those who spoke in his disfavor, and sonfetimes went too far in his zeal, thus harming his cause. Greenville, Ohio, was the site chosen by the Prophet for his headquarters. Here the campaign assumed a businesslike air. Indians from other tribes flocked to hear the vigorous speaker, and his representatives were sent from, the Black foot country to Florida, spreading the report of his -marvelous supernatural messages. . > An eclipse of the sun occurred In 1806. Tenskwatawa had predicted this event, and the fulfillment of his words served to stamp him as a true prophet. , The other tribes accepted him without further question and began to work, along the lines he had planned. There were two outstanding points about Tenskwatawa's propaganda: within four years, fye said, some awful catastrophe would happen, and only those who believed in the prophet would be safe. This added to the numbers gathered around him. Then, Jhe northern tribes advanced the Idea that a confederacy could be formed which would drive the white men back, and this idea was eagerly adopted. At the battle of Tippecanoe, in which more than a thousand converts to the Prophet's creed were engaged, Harrison won a decisive victory over the Indians, causing them a considerable loss. As Tenskwatawa had claimed that he could avert death in; battle, this blow was a severe one, and he lost his prestige on this account - His work, however, had acquired too great an impetus to stop. The War of 1812 brought this ferment to its height. The British were quick to see the advantage of such an Indian ieague on their side, and made good use of the opportunity. The Creek war of 1813 was another result of the Prophet's teachings. After the War of 1812, Tenskwatawa was given a pension by the British; He lived for some years in Canada finally returning to the United States; and died In Kansas in November, His burial place Is unknown. \ (©, 1(32, Western Newspaper Unto*,) MHowoqa • , <••?' -.,*1,4.-- Aid Social iwffl iiold their annual chicken Sinner and bazaar at the M.
