A FOREIGN NATION ON FLORIDA
SEMINOLE INDIANS RECOGNIZE NO GOVERNMENT BUT THEIR
OWN.

1912. In the seven years Of fighting
the United States had lost 1866 lives
and $4,000, 900. The Indians had
suffered severely in the numbers kill
ed. h whole Seminole tribe, with
the exception Of about 800, was re-
moved to the Indian Territory, where
land was apportioned to each men,

cd into the Everglades. where white
men could not penetrate. They rep
resented the bravest and most de-
termined of their tribe, who preferred
death from poison and fever to sur
render. They were bitter toward their
hatred Of Americans was intense. Al
though homeless and depopulated,
their spirit was unbroken. This is
typified in the favorite school recita-
tion. THE Seminoles' Reply" by G. w.
Patton:
Il lothe We in my bosom.
scorn We with mine eye.
And III taunt ye with my latest
And fight We till 1 die!

And I ne'er will be your slave:
But I'll swim the sea Of slaughter

The Everglades, to which the In
dams ~retreated, are vast tropical
swamps. thickly overgrown and
marshy. and Astounding in alligators.

Seminoles selected the driest places
they could find for building their huts.
and long residence i'm the >swamps,
they gradually become, immune
to the diseases and poisonous bites.
Today these last relics Of the semin-
ole tribe live wild and free. just as
they did centuries ago. They have
scorned civilization and observe the
customs handed down from their an.
cestors. Their dress IL unchanged.
Although 1t is as primitive as 1t was
before the time Of Columbus. 1t h
unique in showing a higher stage OF
advancement than any other tribe.
The .Seminoles are practically free
from the vices introduced BY the white
a which have caused the downfall
OF most Indians. They still observe
the primitive custom of winning
bride by capture. After the girls par
ents have consented to the marriage
the suitor has to capture her in a race
at the July Corn Dance. The brides
groom then goes to the brides home
to live. Men are not allowed to marry
before they are Is years old, and
women before they are 81. Such laws
insure children sound physically and
mentally: The Florida seminoles are
said to be gradually increasing in
number.
Thus these indians have defied civil
lization. They have fought untiringly
to retain possession of their lands, and
are still living in the same place where
Ponce de Leon first saw their ances-
tors 1886 years ago. They believe UNI

tional campaigns be paid out Of the
national treasury. The necessity for
abating the campaign fund abuse is
urged. but 1t is being argued that
since some means must he found to
pay for legitimate expenses. II the
government prohibits funds raised as
they have been, It will have to foot
the bills itself to solve the difficulty.
Startling as the sugestion 10. 1t
must be remembered that the nation
is already contributing very heavily
toward the campaign in the printing
and dissemination of franked cam
paign literature. Most Of the cost Of
the recent session Of congress might
be similarly charged to the account
of the campaign. because congress
was chiefly engaged in the manufac-
ture of campaign ammunition. To
have the treasury pay unofficial spell
binders and furnish transportation
for them would not be stretching 1t
very much.
But taking the existence Of an
abuse as a precedent for extending
it is virtually to assert that two
wrongs make a right. The nation is
already contributing too much from
the public treasury for partisan cam
paign purposes. a great deal Of 1t.

be backwoods constituencies that read
and believe campaign literature that

them. The newspapers. after all, are

100000 in Gold
BANK OF ENGLAND HAD A
HARD TIME RAISING IT FOR
A CUSTOMER.
(Pearson's Weekly

VSOSnlysl go. A..
All in gold, please"
These are words heard many times
a day by the cashier of a bank. on
presentation of a check. And in this
instance they were spoken BY an or
dinary-sized, quiet-looking gentleman
to n Of the cashiers Of the Bank .of
England.
Nonchalantly the latter picked up
the check. and, at the same time az he
for the till.
Then he drew up suddenly and care.
fully scrutinized the customer. For
the check was made out for f1.0O0.-
900! Possibly he thought the poses.
sor OF the check was one of those
amiable lunatics obsessed with the
idea that he is worth endless money
not an uncommon experience of a
bank cashier.
But. in fact. the gentlemen was one

Cotton company, which had arranged
to buy out for cash the leading Ameri-
cjn concern, the Willimantic Thread
company Of the same business. and
the money was required to ship to
America IN order to save the rate of
exchange. which would amount to
many thousands Of pounds. The
money wal to be shipped by the Luz

last available date Of doing 80 before
the option expired.
Such are the traditions and discf.

the sanity Of the customer. but quietly
remarked. II suppose this Is all right.

The cashier excused himself for a
moment. and the customer. was soon
Joined by the secretary.
The necessity and urgency Of the
case were explained to the latter, who
undertook to find the money within
seven days.
Thereupon the Bank Of ENGLAND

cities Of the United Kingdom for their
surplus supply Of sovereign. but on
the sixth day they were still about
$4,000 short Of the required amount.
This was finally made up Of 10 yen

MISSOURI o Us?

1t has remained for Missouri to
show us how to beat the high cost Of
living. not permanently, perhaps, but
Tor long enough to a v sufficient to
pay for a few square meals. It came
about through the combination Of a
grocery drummer getting stranded in
Princeton, Mo-, with a shipment of
breakfast food and the existence in
Princeton Of a Helping Hand So
ciety." Both the drummer and the
society needed a helping hand and
extended 1t to each other. Five of the
most prominent families in town, af-
filiated with the society. resolved to
eat nothing but breakfast food for a
week, the saving to be turned into
the treasury Of the society. The re-
suit offers an interesting tabulation.
One family Of three accustomed to
spend $3.50 a week in an effort to get
enough to eat on the usual menu
managed to live through the week on
81 cents worth of breakfast food. A
family Of four that had been paying
$40 for a weeks food got along with
$1.40 in breakfast food. A family Of
five that ordiarily spent $10.75 for its
meats found $1.40 bought more than
enough cereals for them when on
fined to that diet. A family Of six
that had been In the habit Of eating
$12.25 Of the weeks payroll found
$1.75 purchased a sufficient, II not
satisfying. weeks rations Of that par
tfcular breakfast %provender.
This test would seem to establish
that somewhere between three and
four boxes Of breakfast food is
enough to feed n person a week
II he or she eats nothing else. Twen-
ty persons in all took part in the K
pertinent, so that 1t may be taken as
setting an average. The family Of
six lived on 26h cents a day; the ia
mily of four on 20 cents. The five
families saved $46.94 in the aggre-
gate.
But there is something more than
the financial side to be considered.
Take the testimony of the head of the
family Of five: 1.-The first day." he
says Everything was lovely. The
secon day I rather missed my wife's
cooking. The mex day 1t was terri

THE MARRIAGE PROBLEM.

The question Of improving the race
through the establishment Of more
stringent laws governing marriage
always furnishes q most interesting
and limitless field for discussion at
mothers' meetings, eugenics societies.
and sometimes ever when clergymen
get together. The incest thing about
the problem is that a solution Is not
at all necessary.
At a convention Of physicians at
: Burlington, N. J., DR.. g. o. Young, q
/: resident of that state and author Of
several medical works, made the
startling statement that there are
nor than $4,000, 900 mentally weak
children In the United States, the re-
suit, principally, Of disease and ILL
mated parents. This is the remedy
he suggests:
We can get much Of value from
a. the laws Of ancient Greece in this
respect. We should stand for
statutes that require not only
physical examination Of prospec-
tive bridal couples. but there
should be a still more strict ex-
animation as to the Incompatible
ity Of their respective tempera-
ments Where there is such a
sameness in the temperament Of
parents the tendency Is always
toward weak. deficient and short
lived children. Such a match is
rarely happy for the parents
themselves. There should be op-
posites in the temperament Of
each to make a successful love
match. The state should see to
It that there is the right degree
Of incompatibility.
All married men will agree with
DR.. Young. They will admit that II
is all right for husbands to be bad.
tempered, surly. extravagant. and
Jealous, and that the wives should be
sweet-tempered. agreeable. and eco.
nomical. Naturally. such difference,
in temperament should tend to hap.
piness in married life-for the hus,
band, at least. Where the husband ii
kind to the wife and the wife kind
TO the husband there apparently is q
discouraging lack Of that delightful
difference in temperaments that
makes for complete happiness.
Certainly the various state legisla.
lures should take the hint offered by
DR.. Young and provide bureaus where.
In experts can be installed to decide
Just what temperaments should be
