In Philadelphia they tel story
of a man whose wife had arranged
an authors evening and persuad-
ed her reluctant husband to remain
at home and help her receive the
ffty guests who were asked to par
ticipate in this intellectual feast.
The first author was dull enough,
but the second was worse. More
over, the rooms were intolerably
warm. So. on pretense of letting
in some cool air, the unfortunate
host escaped to the hall, where he
found a servant comfortably asleep
on the settee.

the Philadelphian in the mans ear.

How seminoles Bury Their Dead.

Seminoes bury their dead on top
of the ground after wrapping them
in blankets. but always leave the top
of the head exposed. They build a
pen over the body and usually chink
ii with earth. When his squaw dies
the husband wears his shirt until it
rots off, which is not strikingly dis
tinctive. When the husband dies
the. squaw doesn't comb her hair for
three months. Little reverence is
shown for the dead. When Tom
Tigers grave was robbed and his
bones taken for exhibition the out
cry over the desecration was almost
wholly newspaper affair. The
nearest settlers were unalarmed and
TIE Indians Indifferent. - Golfers
