Lord Kitchener's S prominence has re-
called an old story told Of him after
the Egyptian campaign During the
brief period in which society tried to
lionize him, without much success, "a
young dandy approached him with a
handkerchief on which he begged
Kitchener to write his name. Your

hand coffin. It was made by the village
carpenter who frequently made cases
for Darwin collection. One day work
being scarce the carpenter asked for
something to DO and was told by Dar-
win that he could make him coffin,
which he did. The body Of Darwin is
said to have lain in it for two days be-
fore his burial ia Westminster abbey

then provided and the first passed into
the possession Of the carpenter and at
his death was bought by the publican.

3 he stepped into the dark street,
E it began to rain dismally. This
pleased him, for It added to the black
ness Of the night, and had tendency
to drive away any late pedestrian
He was not hampered by baggage.
Such articles as he needed bar of
soap, an air-pump, can Of nitro
glycerin, some fuses, a jimmy, dark
lantern, q revOlver-he carried in his
pockets, and, under his coat, a folded
grain sack.
Without pausing, without hesitat-
ing, he glanced searchingly up and
down the street. No living creature
was stirring.
A few strides took him to the side
window of a building. The sill was
on a level with his head. He tried to
raise the sash, but, as he expected, it
was fastened. So he took a stout knife
from his pocket, and, slipping its
thin edge under the frame, threw ali
his weight suddenly upon the handle.
With a report like that Of a pistol,
the lock snapped. For five minutes,
perhaps, the burglar crouched ia the
shadows under the window, watching,
listening. But not a sound, save the
patter of the rain in the street, did
be hear; not moving object did he
see.
Then carefully, noiseIessly, he
raised the sash and climbed in. He
was in total darkness, but knew ez-
actly where he stood. He could have
drawn an accurate, detailed plan Of
the interior Of the building knew
precisely how many feet it was from
the window to the safe; from the
safe to the front doors.
So although he could not see his
hand before him, he 5urned confident

Then he eircled to the right, around
the center Of the counter, and took
four steps more. Pausing, he reached
out his hand and touched the safe.
The burglar moved his hand gIeefuI-
~ over the door and laughed. The
bank was not provided with a vault.

TOM TRIPLET HAS AT
LAST BEEN TRIPPED.
Clerk Of TahIequah U. S.
Court Pleads Guilty
to Forgery.

agent for this work is a victory
for the commission, whatever
our opponents may say. We
requested it after charges had
been made, and every member
is 9nxious for a complete and
searching investigation, to be
begun at as early date as pos
sible. The result will be our
complete exoneration. / am
confident that no commissioner
has been guilty of any wrong
doing or has permitted his pri-
vate business affairs to interfere
with his official duties. Two
trust companies, whose names
have been drawn into the
charges, have, as ! said once
before, nothing whatever to do
with the work Of the commits
sion.
Provided there are no fur
ther delays the commission
should finish its work of allot-
ting Indian lands within a year
and a half from next January.
The work is being prosecuted
as rapidly as possible. We
have completed our work among
the Seminoles and are practical
ly through in the Greek coun-
try. We are now working
among the Choctaws, Chicka-
saws and Cherokees. We are
not ready to announce the con-
clusion of work in the Greek
country because an occasional
filing is still being made and
the government does not allow
us to close the books until every
has been given full
opportunity to be heard.
When our work is finally
finished Indian territory will be
fully equipped for admission as
a state. AS regards population,
wealth and all other requis-
ties, she is now ready, but she
cannot, of course, expect state
hood until the commissions
work is ended. The commits
sioners are quite as anxious to
close the work as anyone else
can possibly be to have US. -
