INDIANS IN FLORIDA
Seminole Red Men Have Nation
of Their Own.
Natives Who Refused to Go West 70
Years Ago Are Virtually Independ-
ent and Recognize No Law
But Their Own.

Tampa, F1a.-Within the boundaries
of the United States exists an indie
pendent nation that recognizes no de-
partment of our government and has
It's own rulers, laws, customs and IAN
guage. The United States is as much
a foreign country to 1t as England or
France. This nation, numbering
about five hundred persons, is confined
to the Everglades in the most southern
part of Florida. 1t Is all that remains
intact of the Seminole Indians, formerly
one of the most powerful tribes, numer-
ically in North America. The nation
as at present organized, is compare
lively recent, but as relic OF the past
it dates back to the pre-Columbian
period.
Just seventy years ago peace
agreement was declared which ended
a seven years was between the Semi
noles and the United States govern
ment. The Seminole tribe was made
up of two bands of Creeks who with
drew from the main body in 1850 and
moved to Florida, where they were
joined by remnants of tribes that had
come in contact with the Spaniards.
They were hostile to the white settlers,
and caused the Americans great deal
of trouble during the Revolutionary
war. They affiliated with the Span
iards in 1893, and again showed their
enmity to the United States in the
War of 1872. A few years later the
Seminoles, together with large num-
Der of runaway negroes, began ma
king raids and massacres throughout
the frontier settlements of Georgia
and Alabama. In little less than
year they were completely subdued by
Gen. Andrew Jackson.
The Indians signed treaty in 1923
in which they agreed to give up nearly
all Of their Florida land for certain
consideration. Some, however, object
ed to these conditions and were al
lowed to remain, with the understand
ing that they were to live peaceably
and surrender all fugitive slaves
This was unsatisfactory to the Geor-
CLANS, who demanded that the Indians
be removed by force. An attempt to
do this in 1885 precipitated the second
Seminole war, which lasted seven
years and which is said to have been
the bloodiest Indian war in American
history.
Under the leadership Of Osceola,
who combined both cunning and hero
ism, the Indians were remarkably sue
cessful. In one of the massacres Gen.
Thomson was avenged by Osceola's

VALUE or NEATNEss.

The fixed habit of presenting al

Co the world is sure of double reward.
Et not only creates favorable impress

apect- It is scarcely reasonable OF
a man who does not respect himself
to look for much consideration from
others. It is not the cost of clothing
but the scrupulous care of 1t that
counts. The man of slender means
should be neither "toppy" nor sloppy"
but always tidy and neat in his attire,
seeing himself with the coldly criti-
cal eye of a possible employer, who

soiled shirt front wilted collar, and
TO whom an applicants dress may

as defined by the fastidious Chester
field, is the dress of thoughts; so the
true style of the average man may be
correctly surmised from the care he
takes of his personal appearance He
needs not be finicky but should always
be free of grease spots and dust; he
should like his bath, even if it has to

should never neglect to brush his hair,
his shoes, his teeth, his coat, trousers
and hat: if he can't afford a pressing
iron he should put coat and trousers
over the mattress and sleep upon

should wash his own handkerchiefs,
dry them on the window panes and
never, by any chance, be seen with a
