PINKAMINK TRIBE AT VENISON FEAST

Order of Redmen Banqueted On Anniversary of Organisation of the Local Tribe. The Redmen of Pinkamink tribe had a big pow wow at their hall Monday evening and at 7:30 o’clock sat down to a banquet of great proportions and superior quality. Could the aboriginees of America, in whose commemoration the order was founded, have looked in upon the 138 braves and the groaning table they surrounded they would have found dishes vastly different from the viands prepared by the squaws of a century or two ago. The modern Redman bears no resemblance in habits or tastes to his almost extinct brother. He believes in greater variety and greater quantity and better seasoning and more attention to service. At this function all the modern notions were complied with and the tribesmen report a feed of rare excellence. The menu was as follows: cream chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy, escalloped macaroni, French peas, olives, pickles, bread and butter, pie, cake and coffee. Following the supper the first rank was conferred on A. E. Wallace. During the degree work J, W. Lambkin, of lndianapolis, filled the chair of Saehem. He is the Senior Great Sagamore of Indiana and later in the evening he spoke at considerable length about the order, paying a high tribute to the local tribe, which was organized just one year before and whose record for advancement, he said, exceded every order in the state.
