SNAKE FROM GREAT SPIRIT
Rather Glides Into Seminole Council
Circle and Indians Call It
a Messenger.

Great CONSERVATION was created
among the members OF the Seminole
council at Wewoka, l. t.. recently when
a large rattlesnake elided into the tent
where the assemblage was being ad-
dressed by the attorney OF the nation.
Capt. A. j. McKennon. CAPT McKen-
non was about to kill the snake when
one OF the councimen stopped him, sx-
planning In broken English. Him rat
tesnake; he came to Seminole council;
no other snake do that. He sent by
Great Spirit He go south; that mean
Mexico. We must all go Mexico soon"
The captain was told that the rattle
snake had long been messenger to the
Seminole tribe from the Great Spirit.
They told him that Just before their
fight with Jackson In the south, many
moons ago. great rattlesrake crawled
from the bank OF lake and came into
camp. The medicine men assembled
and told the members Of the tribe that
great trouble was about to come upon
them. They would have great fight,
and as the snake went west, part OF
the tribe would be driven west. They
said that the rattlesnake had been
looked upon as messenger ever since.

SAvACES DESPISE LABOR.
Hardest Task of African Missionary
Il to Persuade Dusky Ma
tives to Work.

The hardest task of the missionary
among tropical sayages is to teach them
the dignity OF labor. Where every bodily
want is supplied freely by nature. the
chief motive to work, the earning of
ones daily bread, is absent But the les
son Is being learned This was shown
some months ego In Toro---a central
African country lying to the west OF
Uganda at the foot OF the snow clad
range anciently known as the Mountains
OF the Moon. The kings birthday was
celebrated by an exhibition of native
work. There were 200 entries a smaller
number than the previous year, but the
standard was mucn higher and the va
riety greater. The queen, who was her
self a prize-wjnner, presented the priezs.
and the king showed much interest. Yet
ten years geo, when the first native Ba-
ganda missionaries went to this people,
they were sunk In the lowest depths OF
savagery. In some respects, this exhi-
otion in the heart OF the dark continent
was more interesting and remarkable
than that In st. Louis.

Search Being Carried On in Texas for
Vast Wealth Buried Dur
ing War.

A number of MeXicans with teams.
plows and scrapers are excavating In
that vicinity, claiming to have In their
possession maps and charts showing
treasure to be buried there to the
amount OF 100000 In Mexican doub
looms. The treasure is buried near what
is known as the Bull Tank, and the party
has agreed to pay the owners OF tho
land on which they are at work GER
tain per cent of tho find for the priv
ilege Of excavating. This treasure Is
said to have been buried during the
Texas and Mexican war. Ii Is said q
tradition has existed that large sum
In Mexican doubloons was buried some
where on the banks of Pond creek, and
another that there WAS treasure Of con-
siderable amount in Mexican money
buried at some point along the banks
OF the Brazos river near Marlin, Many
excavations have been made TO locate
the buried treasure, both on Pond creek
and the l@razos river There efforts
were not only made by home people,
but strangers have gone in and exca-
vated among whom were Moxicans. A
Few years ago 1t was no uncommon
thing to see deep holes dug along the
banks of these streams, presumably b,
parties in search OF the lost treasure,
but If any money has ever been found
In this manner the fact is not known.

Question as to Wholesomeness of Bi-

the Dealers.

oysters are plentiful to an extent that

beds In some parts OF the coast. after
they had been carried to market and
found unstable, comments the New

between typhoid fever and raw oysters
has 10 do with the overstocked markets
there Is no telling. Some scientists hold
the oyster as not guilty OF carrying In
fection, but oystermen here and abroad
have been found to be given to the habit
Of keeping oysters In water rich In sew
age, and 1t has given the bivalve bad
name There Ia no doubt but some oys-
ters are the healthiest sort Of food when
eaten raw, but who can tell the con-
taminated? II a goose has been killed.
to the loss OF many golden eggs, as II Ia
feared has happened in the raw oyster
business, 1t Is the fault of few OF the
ignorant or unscrupulous. and the oys-
termon must find their way out OF tho
difficulty as best they can. The public
appetite for raw oysters was all that
could be required by the interest Of the
oyster gatherers. 1t has lessened be-
cause public confidence has been abused.
