Smallest Tribe
SEMINOLE INDIANS ARE
SCARCELY KNOWN
They are Not History Makers
But Their Affairs
are Clean.

The Seuinoles the smallest and
least known Of the five civilized tribes
are the best governed of all today.
and .heir affairs are IN better condi-
tion and their nation more prosper
GUS than any other of the FIVE. Their
land which is under lease is SO under
more favorable terms to the indians
and the leases are held by a better
class Of white farmers than are found
in any other nation. This is largely
due TO the fact that the seminole5
have. ever since they have lived ia
their present homes been fortunate in
a Just and patriarchial form Of govern
ment. They have had chiefs who gov
erned wisely ana have had excellent
counsel in their affairs
Tho SenEoles are part of tine
Creek tribe. Nearly century ago
they left the Creeks who were living
IN Alabama and went TO Florida.
They lived in the everglades and in
the swamps of that country for long
time and we're called Seminoles by
the Creeks. the word meaning wand
erers. The Creeks lived exclusivly
along streams. when In Alabama and
for that reason were called Creeks in
stead Of Muskogee, which is their
correct name.
The Seminoles remained in Florida
many years after the Creeks came to
Indian territory When they did
come the Creeks did not admit them
so their tribe again but sold them
the present Seminole nation and got
a good round price for II There arc

752 citizens composing the tribe
There is left some 10000 acres sur
plus Land which will be sold and lis

and refuse to advance. Why do ye not obey? Have to commando"
 Rabenius took a step towards him. and on his white wig he had conn piete wreath of yellowed leaves.
 Captain" said he, "among the dy- ing the servant of the Lord alone com mands. For three years have I seen Bengt Getting in the ranks, but yet have never seen him speak with any. Now, on the threshold, before the Judgment Seat of God. no man can force him to keep silent"
 But with whom should have to speak?' asked the dying dragoon. bit- terly. My tongue Is as grown up and stricken. Weeks and weeks passed without me saying a words Nobody has at any time asked me ,bout any thing! Only my ear had to keep at the ready. lest did not hear the orders . Advance march,, were we ordered: march through marsh and snow. There was nothing to reply!"
 Rabenius knelt. and gently took his hands in his.
 But now will ye speak, Bengt Get ing? Speak, speak. since all now gath CT to hear you. Of us all you have now the right to speak freely. Have ye a wife. peradventure an old mother at home, whom ye would that I will greet for thee?"
 My mother starved me and forced me into the troops, and never since then has a woman had any words to say to me than: Get out of the way. Bengt Getting; get out. get out! What do ye want with us?"
 ''Then have ye nothing at all to be sorry for?"
 T am sorry that I as a child did not spring into the mill stream, and that when ye stood before the regiment and exhorted us to go on again in patience I did not step forward and fell ye with the musket."
 Nay, will you have what troubles me? Have ye never heard the bag gagers and outposts say how in the moonlight they have seen their dead comrades hobbling back in throngs to the troops. and heard them cry: Greet my mother for me- they call them the Black Battalion. In the Black Battal- ion will now walk. But the worst is that will be buried in my miserable rags and bloody shirt. It is that which troubles me. A common dragoon does not wish to be buried like to the good General Liewen; but I think on the comrades killed at Dorfsnicki, for each one of them the king ordered to be given out two boards for a cofip and one clean white shroud. Why should
