Recklessness.

We ought to be contentcd
With conditions as they come.
Fate can't be circumvented,
And you've got to suffer some.
Well miss the wintry blowing
When the sultry sunbeams dance.
And July is fiercely glowing
But I'd like to take chance.
Every hope is Il dclusion
When it once is realized.
Wealth that comes i'll great profusior
By the prudent is not priced.
They declare in language pensive
That our sorrow we enhance
BY an idleness expensive
But I'd like to take a chance.

 So the Indians and the slaves were let alone and they lived in peace and harmony for many years.

Mexico City, June 27.-Foreign Min ister Aguilar made public today mes- sages sent to the Latin American countries, in which the government of the United States is accused of rerf1dy and with concentrating troops along the border with hostile pur- poses toward Mexico. The messages. in answer to communications from South American countries offering their services to mediate between the United States and Mexico, say that after the incident at Matamoras the United States began to gather it's armed forces along the international line with the intention Of aggression against Mexico It is asserted that Mexico is not seeking war. but if it is forced to fight it will go to the last extreme at the cost 'of the blood of it's sons and the destruction of it's wealth.

 The Seminole still has his allisatc i. catching industry in part of the swamp as yet untouched by the big dredge, and for time he managed to sell these to advartaga to the mission trading post about seventy miles from Ft. Myers. But the European war has claimed even the people of the Florida wilderness as victims. The shutting off of the European market for these hides has been the final blow and the struggle of the Seminole today is one of the pathetic instances of the far-reaching effects of that awful conflict now being waged be- yond the seas For a time 1t was feared that they would starve. but friends came to their aid and they are managing to eke out an existence.

 Alligator Hunters.
 The men are great alligator hunt CTS. In hunting these a steady nerve and an unerring shot are essential. The Seminoles go out in canoes on dark nights carrying a bull's-eye lan- tern and from time to time throw the light over the water. When a gator is located the Indian steers his canoe to point about ten feat from his prey and puts a shot between the eyes of the monster. Before the gator can founder out of reach the Indian grabs his ax and sewers the spinal cord and drags the carcass into the boat The alligator possesses an extraordinary vitality, the nerves often being active for several hours after the head has been severed fror1 the body, and the

GOVERNORS MEET IN MORMON TOWN
 TALK PROBLEMS

Salt Lake City, Utah, June 27.- Some of the big problems confronting the nation are likely to be advanced measureably toward solution by the ninth annual governors conference which met here today, providing such problems may be solved through the medium of intelligent discussion by men well qualified to speak on the subjects assigned them. The attend ance at the present conference is by far the largest and most representa- tive since the first of the annual con- ferences of governors met at the white house nearly a decade ago in response to an invitation issued by President Roosevelt.
 More than three -fourths of the states of the union, including virtual ly all of those lying west of the Mis- sissippi, were officially represented at the opening of the proceedings today. Gov. William Spry of Utah delivered the address of welcome and response for the visiting executives was made by Governor Roland H. Spaulding of New Hampshire
 I1Cpdl dleuucSS LOT larger pdTL1Cl- patton in world commerce and the state and federal legislation necessary to launch and develop new policies and new methods are to constitute the general subject of discussion by the governors during their four days sessions. Mobilization of American resources, industries and commerce. distribution of the immigrant, and land settlement policies are among the subjects that will receive atten- tion. The recent course of events in Mexico renders it likely also that some phases of the general subject, preparedness for national defense and the relation of the state thereto, will be presented and discussed by the governors.
 Among the governors who are sche- duled to address the conference are Edward F. Dunne of Illinois. James Withycome of Oregon, Ernest Lister of Washington, Charles Henderson of Alabama, George A. Carlson of Colorado, George w. P. Hunt of Ari- zona, Hiram w. Johnson of California and J. A. A. Burnquist of Minnesota.

Cooly Insists He Did Not Love Marian Lambert, and
 Only Pretended.

Waukegan, Ill.,, June 27.-iWill H Orpet, the youthful defendant on tri- al for murder, resumed the stand to- day to give further intimate details bearing upon the tragic death of Mar ian Lambert, his former sweetheart.
 After few questions by his attor- neys, Orpet was turned over to the state for cross ss-examination.
 What were your relations with Celeste Youker?" asked Attorney Pot ter.
 The courtroom became very quiet as every ear was strained to hear Or pets reply.
 "There was a tacit understanding between us. I had known her six years" he said.
 "Did she return your affections?'
 "Not always"
 "Did you tell any one you saw Mar ian take poison'?"
 "No, did not"
 "Did you tell reporters that Marian and other girls of humble parentage felt flattered at the attentions of col lege men?"

 Orpet was asked about an automo- bile ride which Marian and Orpet took last September. It was on this trip that the relations between the young pair passed the bounds of nor ality, witness admitted.
 Were you in love with her?"
 Did Not Love Victim.
 Orpet hesitated for minute, then replied:
 "Judging from my letters later, I think not"
 'tOh, you were desperately in love with her. were you note"
 Not then; that came later; judging from my letters"
 "Farly in your correspondence after returning to the university you did tell her that you loved her, did you nct?"
 "Yes, sir.''
 The attorney called attention te a letter which the defendant wrote to Marian last September, in which Or pet told Marian that everything she did interested him. In another letter he spoke of ''this kind ssof~ weather; makes me think of fussing." s .sWhat do you mean by 'fussing?" "It means paying attention to a girl" explained Crpet.

 Osceola.
 It was at this period that the famous warrior Osceola came into prominence. His wife, being an Afri- can slave, was seized and carried away and when the young warrior made an attempt to rescue her he was put in jail. His one idea was to get revenge on the White man for the cap- ture of his wife, so he pretended. to be repentent, and. when released h. eaIn- pushed andHkflled his jailers General Thompson, and a companion who han pened tos be walking with the officer at that time. The awful Slaughter of the U. s. troopsf' sknoMn as Dade's Massacre, followed. The United States was unprepared to act quickly and vigorously and after a series of bloody skirmishes word was received from Washington that the Government had decided to permit the negroes to go withA'the Indians if they would emil grate peacefully to .Arkansas. Just as this was about to sbe carried out some of the slave holders obJectetl and the Indians, fearing that the treaty was a ruse, fled to the wood with their, war cry. OHceola was their leader-a hero among his people. Tall and erect, with eyes which fairly looked through the person who met his gaze, this Indian swayed his warriors and proved himself a military tactician of no low order.<-, He was finally surrounded by our troops and captured.

Somebody, however must have found the Florida Indians, for in 1892 an agency was set up near Fort Myers for the purpose of assist ing the Indians and an appropriation of $6,00o.O0 per year was made to run it. A sawmill was built and a school opened, but the Indians did not take kindly to the institution and 1t was abandoned. Since that time the welfare of the Seminole has been looked after by missionaries and q society known as ''The Friends of the Florida Seminoles.' The Departm ent of the Interior has set aside twenty three thousand acres or land to be held in trust for the Florida Indians so that when they are finally driven from all other property they may re- tirs to this place and live there with out being further molested
