Walked Through Back Streets.

men-George Kramer used to creep
down from his retreat and take walks
through the back streets-alene All
others he reasoned. were in bed and
safe from the peril that was always
with him. So George Kramer used
to walk at night, with the white death
ever at his elbow.
The years went by and then Mrs
Caroline Walsh moved into the Furman
street house Mrs. Walsh Is mother,
she has a great mother love, which
means love for all She got to know
the coughing man" by conversations
through the panels of his door. She
saw his face rarely. But she hearten-
ed him-this mother, who was the only
one in the house to think, except with
loathing. of the coughing man."
Mrs. Walsh used to step to the
door almost every morning and ask If
there was anything she or her children
could do for Kramer-any little err
rands. Usually they would go to the
grocery store for him and leave the
food outside the closed door, because
Kramer insisted that they should not
come near him.
A few days ago Mrs. Walsh and the
children went out of town. When
they returned, and before she opened
her own door Mrs. Walsh knocked at
the door OF the coughing man" No
answer. More knocks. and still no an
swer Then the janltor broke down the
locked door.
The man who had walked alone with
the white death for II years had con-
sented to go to q far country with
his grim companion
The only possession OF value he left
behind him was ST. BY just 81 had the
coughing man" overcomputed that
margin of necessity which had been
the measure and the iron bound of his
life of sickness.

FIVE TRIBES
SCHOOL MONEY

Muskogee, Okla, Sept. 4.--John b.
Brown, superintendent of Indian
schools, returned from Washington
Monday, where he had been called for
the purpose of consulting with Com
missioner Valentine and the depart
ment OF the interior as to the disposi-
ton of the 100000 appropriated by
congress for Indian schools in eastern
Oklahoma. According to the proyi-
sions OF the Gore resolution the $780,
900 is to be expended at the discretion
fthe secretary OF the interior for the
aid OF public schools in the Creek,
Choctaw, Cherokee, Chickasaw and
Seminole nations, and the interior de-
partment is not to be hampered in the
method Of distributing the money.
According to the plans outlined at
Washington it is not the intention Of
the interior department to interfere
with the district school boards or have
anything to say as to how the schools
are to be conducted, course of study,
etc. 1t is conceded that the people
residing In the vicinity of the differ
ent schools are the ones competent
and capable of regulating such matters
am dthat in the matter Of education
the state Is supreme.
It Is intended by the government in
the school districts where the state
tax is inadequate to conduct dis
trict board with the understanding
that the board will do everything pos
sible to compel the Indian children to
attend school. In other districts where
some school taxes are collected the
government will pay per capita of
twelve and one-half cents day for
each child. In other districts where
good su mis- collected by the state and
district and where Indian children re-
side an equitable amount will be turn
ed over TO the district trustees. 1t is
figured that there are in the neighbor-
hood of 10000 Indian children of
school age in the five nations and that
the $780, 900 appropriated annually will
go a long way towards educating them,
1t is expected that the 100000 appro-
priation will be an annual affair and
will continue until all the Indian lands
are taxable. AS announced some time
ago, a large part of the appropriation
will be distributed in the Choctaw and
Chickasaw nations, where the supreme
court of the United States held that
practically all the Indian lands were
non-taxable
Mr.. Brown states that the money is
ready for immediate distribution and
that contracts with the district school
boards will be entered into at once
The government will not operate any
additional schools, but will work in
complete harmony with the state and
county officials.
