Alligator Hunters.
The men are great alligator hunt
ers. 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 Ian
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 feet 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 ak 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 from the body. and the

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 tho young warrior
made an attempt to rescue her he was
put in fail. 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 he am
pushed and killed his Jailer. General
Thompson. and a companion who hap
pened to be walking with the officer
at that time. The awful slaughter OF
the o. s. troops, known as Dade's
Massacre, followed. The United States
was unprepared to act quickly and
vigorously and after . series OF bloody
skirmishes word was received from
Washington that tho Government had
decided to permit the negroes to go
with the Indians II they would emi-
crate peacefully to Arkansas. Just as
this was about to be carried out some
| OF the slave holders objected and the
Indians, fearing that the treaty was a
ruse, fed to the wood with their war
| cry.
osceola was their leader 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
banself q military tactician OF no low
order. He was finally surrounded by
our troops and captured. He died in
prison in 1898, and is buried at Fort
MouItr1e, near Charleston, South Car
DINA. This chieftain is the national
hero of the Seminole tribe.
The dark days Of massacres ana
| savage warfare between our troops
and the Seminoles have passed and
as far as the United States Govern
rnent Is concerned there are no In
dams in Florida for. according to the
old treaty. they emtgrated to Arkansas
long ago. 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 100000 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 IL
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
I Florida Seminoles." The Department
of the Interior has set aside twenty
three thousand acres OF land to be
held in trust for the Florida Indians
so that when they are finally driven
from all other property they may re-
