SAVING THE sEMINOLES.
Result Of Missionary Work Among
Indians Of Everglades.

From the Christian Herald.
In the year 1905 DR.. W. j. Golden. ar
EnSlishman by birth, but Floridian by
several years adoption. was installed at
Glade Cross in the Florida everglades as
medical missionary. Before the doctor
had been here many months he had his
endurance and zeal in the cause put to
severe test. An epidemic of measles
with attendant pneumonia sent great
number of the Indians to the mission at
one time, number far in excess of
hospital capacity. equipment or service
In this epidemic sthe doctor treated
twenty-seyen of the pneumonia cases.
and out of all there were but two
deaths, both directly attributable to the
carelessness of the patients themselves
Through the long and severe ordeal the
doctor was cook, nurse and chamber
maid, sometimes also washerwoman and
seamstress as well as attentive physi-
clan and devout missionary But it
marked crisis. even an epoch. this lit
tie period of peculiar developments One
pair of stout hands. one alert. inteli-
gent and trained mind. and, backing ALL
one heroic SOUL saved the day, and the
issue may yet prove that they saved an
historic racial remnant from impending
extinction
Since that time of peril, sickness and
Seminoles have given their absolute con-
fidence to this medical missionary. In
witness of the great moral conquest.
note this peculiar tribal enactment of
June. 1908. At that time the Seminole
shot-ca-taw. or green corn dance, was
held. the most important of their yearly
festivals. marked. also, by the annual
council of the tribe. Here the chiefs.
assembled around the council fire in
solemn conclave, passed a remarkable
decree lifting the immemoriaT inhibi-
ton which forbade their people to re-
ceive instruction in the white mans way
or religion. One of the leading braves
was ordered to proceed as messenger
of state to Glade Cross, conveying the
tidings that this ban was formally re-
moved, and the Seminoles might hence
forth hear the gospel and receive bap-
tism if they so desired.
Since that time a few converts have
been baptized notable men Of the tribe
in each case. and numbers have come in
from the glade converts to gather about
che wilderness cross and listen with
earnest attention to the psalm. PRAYER.
litany and sermon. They are sngularly
devoted to music and have learned to
join in many of the hymns, which Dr.
Golden accompanies on a little melo-
deon.

THE EVIL FLY.
Swatting Only Palliative-Keeping
Things Clean the Cure.

From the Chicago Journal
The true cussedness of the fly seldom
shows forth till about this time in the
fall He is more numerous now than be-
fore. and seems many times a greater
nuisance.
He haunts doors and windows. watching
for a chance to slip inside. He prone
nades over your face while you are trying
to get a beauty sleep in the morning He
comes from garbage can and stable to
walk over every uncovered bit of food.
and he seems to take fiendish pleasure
in drowning himself in the milk pitcher.
The Chinaman who hates you bad
enough will kill himself on your door
step, so that his ghost may haunt you.
The fly loads himself with typhoid germs
and plunges to a milky grave that he
may start an Inflammation in your Pey-
er's patches.
Fly swatting now is necessary. but pal
liative. The buzzing pest is too well
grown to be destroyed. All that can be
done is to hold him in check, starve him
BY covering all garbage and stable litter,
catch and kill him when possible-and
resolve to make more effective cam
paign against this murderer of babies
