The venerable rector of. St Luke'S

of his own on most matters and Is not
averse to expressing them. Recently,
unknown to him, the vestry decided
to have the next supply OF coal for the
church put in different cellar from
the one commonly used. When the
coal was delivered the rector, seeing
the drayman making what he thought
was a mistake In its disposal. inter

the darky place the coal in the cellar
always used for that purpose.
The senior warden several days
later was much annoyed to discover
that his orders had been disregarded
and that the coal was In the same old
cellar. With wrath in his eye he COM
planned to the coal dealer. The latter
declared that he had carefully ex-
planned to the drayman where to put
the coal. so to settle the matter the
darby was called up.

Seminole Finds Peace and Happiness

The Seminole Is the only Indian to-
day who Is as free as were his ances-
tors in the pref Columbian days. II all

ida we're to be blotted out Of existence
tho latter would still be enough of a
world for the Seminole's wants and
happiness. He is peaceable and hon
est and was never worthy of the ter
rible things done him 100 years ago
by the white man, when nearly every
body believed that the "only good In
dian was dead Indian"
The tribal religion Of the Seminoles
is far above that Of the other native
Indian tribes. It Is lacking In their
revolving and harsher features. Some
of them have recently become Christ
ians, and as such God is known to
them as E-shock-e-tom-e-see. while the
tribal god is called Hisa-kill-nussi. They
like to stand by the latter better than
by the former.
Marriage by wife capture appertains
among the Seminoles. After the par

marriage the young sutton sets roast
