The Gene.i. of "a Patriot.

One night In 1776 the Duke of
Gloucester, the royal brother of George
III, then hiding from his kingly broth

BILE party of aristocrats at the expense
Of the king of England with q trench
ant account of the Boston tea party"
His cynical sympathy was expressed
for the American rebels, and he dwelt
upon their need for recruits to fight
against his brother. The table laugh
ed at the tale, which was the first the
most Of them had heard directly on the
preposterous ambitions for freedom of
the new world colonists. Among the
company was a silent, solemn young
soldier who had listened intently to
the recluse until the dinner was finish
ed. Then he strode across the room to
the duke.

help them fight for freedom! Tell me
how to set about itI'' he cried, his sal

none Of his idle comrades had ever

ON AN lNspHcA,oN TOUR.

and Expresses Satisfaction.

and Expresses Satfsfactlon.
j. George Wright. UnitedStates
Indian inspector with headquarters
at Muskogee, was in the city this
morning. He is on a tour Of inN
spection of the work of the var
ious surveying crews now engaged
in the Chickasaw nation.
To the reporter Mr.. Wright ex-
pressed himself as being well
pleased with the work of the town
site commission at this place and
says that he thinks there will be no
trouble in getting the plat ap
proved.
Speaking of the townslte work
in the Chickasaw nation, Mr..
Wright said that several surveying
crews are now working at various
points establishing the exterior linn
its Of townsites under recent in
structions from the department,
and it is for the special purpose OF
inspecting this work that he is
making this trip.
Mr.. Wright appears very much
interested in the early and equi-
table settlement of the tribal ta1
question and deprecates the fric
ton now existing been the triba
authorities and the non citizer
merchants. He says that the.
should reach some amicable con
clusion which would be just t.
both sides and that if the non-cit
izens have a grievance they shoul'
present it properly to congress AM
not delay matters by long and ted
ions litigation.
He denied emphatically the re
port that he had taken steps inde
pendently or in conjunction wit
the Indian authorities looking t
the calling out of federal troop
, to enforce tax collections.
Mr.. Wright is a very pleasant
) affable gentleman and spoke with
out hesitation on every subjeC
/
brought up during the interview
thus proving himself an exceptio
= to the average special officers {
the government who usually affet
secrecy and mystery as to the
/ mission and purposes when the
8 visit a place.
Mr.. Wright left on the moo
d train for Chickasha and oth'
points in the western part Of Il
\ nation.

Ardmors Military Company.

: In conversation today with b
". Henson, captain of the Ard
more military company, the re-
porter learned that the quiet which
has prevailed in military circles
here for the past two months is
not to be taken as indicating an
abandonment of that organization.
Captain Henson says that the
extremely warm weather would
make regular drill irksome on
the boys, especially as they cannot
secure their guns and accoutre
ments until congress meets next
December. AS soon as COO
weather begins the company viii
resume its regular weekly drills
and get in good shape by the time
the reQuisition for arms is hon
ored.

vice for the Chinese campaign
Captain Henson said that he hat

mentin which thanks were ten
dered for the offer and tn
assurance given that if call TO
volunteers was issued this compan.
would receive recognition from th
department and be mustered int
service.
