Speaking of Osceola and "Old
Nance" his brothers wife, which have
been interesting subjects of press COM
ment recently, reminds me. says f.
Nellie Beck in the Pensacola Journal,
Of many instances of Osceola's his
tory which were related to me by the
late Jacob Summerlin of Orlando,
king of the Crackers" and father
Of Messrs. Jasper and Sam Summerlin
the well-knoWn cattle kings of Polk
and Hillsboro counties. Mr. Summer
lin often told me of his familiar ac-
quaintance with OsceOla, and one time
when both were in a reminiscent mood
the old chief told of a certain massa-
ere in which he and his people had de-
strOyed a white settlement the awful
scenes of which he recited unmoved
Mr. Summerlin asked him if he did
not regret having taken so many lives
The old chief shook his head thought
fully for moment or two and then
replied: NO. White man kill Semi
mole. Seminole kill white man" But
after short silence he confessed that
there was one thing in his life that had
always troubled him, and for which
he was always sorry. Then with IN
usual exhibition of emotion Osceola
told how, when a young warrior. in a
frenzy of revenge. he had rushed upon
a white mother, tore the nursing babe
from her arms, and holding it aloft by
one of its feet had split the tender
body through with his tomahawk, be
fore its mothers eyes. That deed. and
that alone, Of all his savage life, the
Indian regarded as unjustified and was
ashamed of it. Mr.. Summerlin never
wearied of telling me the noble char
acteristics that distinguished him from
most of his kind, and always deplored
his death and the circumstances lead
ing to it as unnecessary and unjust
to that really noble son of Nature.

FOR CRUELTY TO ANIMALS

Mr.. Finney, a prominent Boston cap
italist, who spends his winters at the
Tampa Bay Hotel, was arrested at
Tampa on the charge of cruelty to ami
mails, by overdriving fine horse from
p Tarpon Springs to the city. The gen
tleman was driving two horses, and
one of them fell from exhaustion Just
across the West Tampa bridge, which
caused the officer to make the arrest
and carry the gentleman to the police
station, owing to the fact that he did
not have $50 bond with him. Mir.
Finney stated that he had driven the
animals from Tarpon Springs, a dis
lance of thirty-nine miles, in something
like five hours. This would not have
resulted in injury but for the extreme
heat, and as it was evident that Mr..
Finnney, who was accompanied by his
sister, did not wilfully injure the ami
mails, he was released from custody,

The Savannah stevedores are not
pleased with the outlook for their
business, at least for the near future.
The few sailing vessels bound for Sa-
vannah from Northern ports to load
the yellow pine means little for the
stevedores to do before long. There
are only about a half dozen vessels
bound here for lumber, whereas ordi-
narily there are many more. This
scarcity of schooner room may have a
strengthening effect upon the steamer
rate to Eastern ports, though no ma
terial rise has yet been reported.

pected to do all the laundry work be-
sides her regular duties of sweeping,
busting. cooking and chamber work,
and she is invariably expected to open
the door to callers. Now any en-
ployer who expects all this to be well
done by one servant, and to be done,
moreover, in a respectful manner, is
sure to have trouble. Such a woman is
equally sure, too, to be half the time
without a servant. This is the sort of
housekeepers who spend what part Of
their lives is not squandered in abus-
ing servants as class, in the waiting
rooms of employment agencies. Life
in the home of a woman of this class
is one of inconceivable toll and hard
ships unending. It means long hours
of hard work interrupted necessarily
by the demands of the door bell; it
means close, cramped, uncomfortable
room looking into an airshift or ugly
courtyard-a room unfit for a hard
working woman to sleep in.
The difficulties of this phase Of the
question are great, I will admit-so
great, indeed, that some years ago I
was obliged to discontinue this branch
of my business entirely. I found that
1t was impossible to get good general
houseworkers with either the capa-
bility or the inclination to put up with
such conditions. Occasionally there
were exceptions, to be sure. With the
introduction of the elegantly equip
ped apartment of five rooms and bath,

There is no cause for alarm or dis
NAL forebodings, however, and those
who really know will readily agree
have you believe otherwise are re-
stricted to three classes: First, those
who are not accustomed to keeping
servants and do not know how to man
age them; second, the small house,
keeper who only keeps one; and the
clubwoman anxious to display her
smattering of social economics, who
probably does not keep nor ever has
kept a maid in all her life. By such
as these the so-called servant girl
question is vociferously agitated. It
needs but a moments consideration to
see that opinions from such sources
upon the subject of domestic service
are absolutely valueless except as
those opinions refer to certain individ-
ual experiences. Such women make
the mistake of generaliAng from in
sufficient data, They are the people,
and the only people, who raise this hue
and cry about so-called hired help.
They are the people who predict anar-
chy in the kitchen and servants hall,
and dismally croak of a coming revo-
luton in housekeeping methods. This
revolution, according to the papers
read periodically before various mis-
taken but well1meaning organizations
of women, seems to have for a pivot
what the erudite social economist
chooses to call the eight-hour system
or the tWo-platoon method. Under

ways a menace, always curse. Its
distinguishing feature is to exclude
1t is ossif1ed self1shness. It has rise
usually in humility, often coming in
the name of liberty, and by bestowing
a benefit gets a grip on things; then
it begins to consume, and ceases to
produce.
The Superior Class is a burden. No
nation ever survived it long, none ever
can. This volunteer Superior Class
has always thought that good is to
be gained by avoiding labor; by wear
ing costly and peculiar clothing; by
being carried in a palanquin. by being
waited on by servants; by eating and
drinking at midnight; by attaining a
culture beyond the most; by owning
things that only a few can enjoy
these are the ambitions of the self
appointed Superior Glass. Most Of the
colleges and universities have cursed
mankind by intoxicating the idea that
to belong to this Superior Class was
desirable thing. The thought of edu-
cation largely is that it sets one apart
and fits him for good society. To be
useful is not enough; you must be
clever-hence came Oxford and Cam
bridge, and offer to bestow degrees,
vouching distinction, that will place
YOU in the Superior Class-for a con-
sideration.
The Superior Glass lives by its wits,
or on the surplus earned by slaves or

worked domestic factotum to be found
in the average fiat or apartment. The
woman, perhaps-indeed in many cases
has little more genuine culture than
her maid; sometimes, it must be con-
fessed, not as much. The woman
probably never boosted a servant until
her marriage or a sudden raise in her
husbands salary. It is a novelty to
the young housekeeper (for the woman
who has trouble with her servant is
usually rather young woman) to
have someone to fetch and carry for
her, and, being a novelty, she is likely
to abuse the purpose for which her
new acquisition is intended. In short,
she overloads the girl with work-with
more work, indeed, than any human
being could do or be expected to do
in one day and do well. And right here
is the secret of the one-servant en-
ployer's trouble-she is too hard a task
master. The general houseworker in
variably has too much to do, and Or
der to get through her work at all she
must of necessity do it hurriedly-
and work done hurriedly must always
be more or less badly done. For in
stance, the fiat or apartment in which
you will most often find one servant in
charge varies in size all the way from
five rooms and bath to eight or nine
with possibly two baths. The family
may number anywhere from two to
seven or eight persons. If the family
is very small, the one servant is eX-

ing servants during the summer
months in the country. Such system
gives them chance to leave for the
city on an early forenoon train, see
their friends, spend the night in town
and get home again in time to help
serve dinner the following evening.
The servant is not to blame for all
the misunderstanding and inconve-
nience which her employment usually
bears with it, The employer is to be
held responsible for one exceedingly
grave error, and that is the laXity in
the giving of recommendations. No
employer should give a recommended
ton to a servant who was not in ev-
cry respect worthy of 1t. A recon-
mendation should be given only with
the utmost conscientiousness, and a
vast deal of trouble for the future en-
ployer thereby saved. AS it is, the
average servants recommendation is
not worth the paper it is written on.
If servants were made to understand
clearly that they could not expect rec
