honest-to-goodness New Englanders,
although Mr. Munroe said his father
and mother were both, born in Bos-
ton. but he was born out west and
Mrs Munroe said her, mother, Mrs
Amelia E Barr, visited in New Eng
land and was fond of it. Mrs Mum
roe gave her paper on the Seminoles
and no one knows them better than
this pioneer. Mrs Munroe has lived
in the camps and for three decades.
Seminoles have camped on their
grounds and have visited at her home,
SO she knows as much as pale face
may of their customs and way OF
thinking. She was most interest
ing speaker as she is most interest
ing woman.
While we are on the subject of the
Indians, it may be well to say that
much of the bad effect of the murder
of Tigertail by white man has
been overcome by the prompt way
the whites have gone about hunting
down the murderer. The Indians are
satisfied if the whites avenge the
murder by the white mans justice.
1t has taken years to bring the In
dams to have much faith in the pale
faces and it was expected that this
murder would bring back all the old
prejudices and that the Indians would
desert the white mans village and
retreat to their ancient home in the
Everglades. But Charlie Billy, the
new chief, has let it be known that
thew will remain in various camps
about the outskirts of Miami. An
other feature of the case, which has
been helpful, is that the whites are
raising fund to help his destitute
widow and children and it is already
nearing thousand dollars. This has
made a profound impression on the
Indian village at the Tropical Gar
dens and it is said that unborn gen
erations will be told of how one chief
was murdered by the whites, but that
the murderer was punished and that
the whites gave of their money that
the chiefs squaw should not suffer
poverty.
We have with us Howard Heinz
president of the Heinz Co. of Pitts
burg. Pa, but we mustn't get into

tional Cash Register Company of Day

he is a man who is known in the
