Different in habit* from any other Indiana in this country the Florida Seminoles, now numbering leas than 500^ibulej?contiiiue to maintain their independence in the depths of the Everglades. Long embittered at the United States, they still refuse ,to swear allegiance to Uncle Sam and are practically allowed to govern themselxff. , At any rate, they have the power of life and death over their member* and in other ways mete out their own laws irrespective of state and nutiorH al statutes. Not *o long ago they caught, trie<l and sentenced to death a tribesman for murder. The penalty was exacted with a club. Just now these Indians are deeply stirred by the case of a Seminole maiden who succumbed to modernism to-such an extent that Bhe donned flapper garb and otherwise imitated the white girls. She is deemed subject to tribal punishment for turning renegade. One of the peculiar Seminole customs is the wearing of knee-length skirts by the men. Some of .the younger braves now occasionally wear trousers. A Pathfinder editor who recently made a tour of Florida saw j a Model-T Ford filled with Seminoles bound for town being driven by a Seminole youth in immaculate white duck trousers. However, those Seminoles who g* to live with the whites are ostracized as far as the tribe is concerned. Women also wear the bulky onepiece Mother-Hubburd&ike garment, but their skirts drag the ground. Children are named after the mother instead of the father and married rnqn and women live in separate shacks. ' As soon as a child can take care of itself it is given a hut of its own. Seminole boys can't marry until they have been "warriors" for at least a year. To become a warrior the boy attends an annual meeting of the council, or Green Corn dance, and fasts for three days. On the third day he strips himself of all clpthing and lies flat on the ground, face down. Then a live coal of fire is placed on his back between his shoulders. He must remain in this position without flinching until the coal has lost its heat. After this ordeal he becomes a warrior of the tribe. When an Indian woman loses her husband by death the head of the council appoints a man to look after her and her children, to see that she is. provided with food and given protfcetfen until she again marries. But she/'is get obliged to marry her protector. When a man marries he is required to supply a place in hi* canu) for his mother-in-law, and iMMVtbr her. The, Florida Seminoles are made up of two distinct tribes. The northern tribe, locally known as the Cow Creeks, Speak the Mushogean language; the southern or Big Cypress Indians, use a dialect known a3 Miccosukee. The Seminoles are among the healthiest Indians in the United States, hookworm being their chief annoyance. Qnly a few whites brave the Everglades to live among the Sefninoles. The Seminole roadway is the murky, slimy water, which connects up their swampy retreats. "V 7. : Henry Colin Campbell is on trial this week at Elizabeth, N.
