AN UNDERTAKER'S DILEMMA.
He Wuted to Pawn at Caaket to Bur
a Slirond.
' "I have had many queer experiences
in my business," said a pawnbroker
whose three gilt balls hang in the vi
cinity of Twelfth street and Columbia
avenue, says the Philadelphia Record,
"but I ran up against something the
other day that simply took my breath
away. A man very shabbily dressed
in black, and looking like a broken
down minister, came into the private
office and asked to see the proprietor.
I went out to him. 'I'm an undertaker,
said he, 'and I want yon to help me out
of a difficult-. You can do it without
any risk to yourself if you want to.
I may as well confess to you that busi
ness is pretty bad with me, but I've got
a case now which will pay me well, if.
I can only carry it through. I just need
a little money to do so. You see, I've
failed in my business several times,
and it's pretty hard for me to get credit,
but ' 'Well, well, hurry up,' I inter
rupted. 'What do you want me to do?'
'I'm coming to that now, said he; I
was going to say that I managed to pre
vail on the cabinetmaker to give me a
casket on time, so I've got that all right.
But the relatives of the deceased re
fuse to advance me any money until
I've supplied the shroud. I haven't got
a cent, and the funeral is fixed for to
day. Now, I want you to take the caa
ket with its silver trimmings as a
pledge, and give me enough money on,
it to buy a shroud. Then, you see, I
can get enough from the bereaved fami
ly to redeem the casket in time for the
funeral. What doyou say?' I told him,
after I had recovered my breath, that
I couldn't think of such a thing, and he
went away very despondent. I don't
know how he got out of his difficulty,
or whether the deceased has bee
buried yet." ' .

OKLAHOMA IS BOOMING.
It Mir Become at State Before Either
Ifevr Mexico or Arliona.
Oklahoma was organized as a terri
tory in Mas, 1890, a little more than
seven years ago, having been, cut off
from the Indian territory. At that time
the population of the territory was
60,000 33,000 male and 27,000 female
and was almost exclusively native-born
white inhabitants, the total number of
foreigners being 700; of colored inhab
itants, 2,900, and of Mongolians, 2,500.
Oklahoma was the last of the terri
tories to be let in, Arizona having been
admitted in 1863, and New Mexico in
1850; but its growth has been so rapid
that there is now talk of making Okla
homa a state. It is said that no other
territory ever gained population so
fast, and if the proposed new state were
admitted it would outrank 15 of the
present states in population. The pres
ent population of Oklahoma, it is said,
exceeds 500,000, and the number is ia-i
creasing at a rate so rapid that unless
it be stopped Oklahoma will have, be
fore many years, not only a larger pop
ulation than Chicago has, but even,
though this seems incredible, a larger
population than Chicago claims.
The development of Oklahoma haa
been promoted enormously since its
establishment as a territory. The rail
road business has been developed
largely within its borders, and ' the
early settlers who went out in wagons,
in carts and on prairie schooners have
now all the facilities of modern travel.
In 1880 there were not 300 miles 'of
railroad in Oklahoma and the Indian
territory, then united. On the admis
sion of Oklahoma there were not 100
miles of railroad within its borders,
though at that time the Indian terri
tory had 1,200. On January 1, 1892,
the railroad mileage of Oklahoma had
risen to 390. On January 1, 1896, it was
430, and is now nearly 600 miles;
Oklahoma is modern in some other
respects. In 1S96 there were more
business failures in it than in all the
other territories combined more busi
ness failures in the year than in New
Hampshire and Vermont, together."
But business in Oklahoma has been
good and there are, it is said, 00,000 in-.
dividual farm owners. The material
prospects of Oklahoma have been im
proved greatly during the last three or
four years by many additions through
immigration of women, who now are
nearly as numerous as the men. There
are enrolled in the Oklahoma school
more than 75,000 pupils and- there are
nearly 2,000 teachers there. .
The soil and climate of Oklahoma are
favorable to the production of corn
cotton, sorghum, flax and fruit, and it
is remarked as an encouraging indica
tion of thrift that the inhabitants, un
like those of New Mexico and Arizona,
have only seven holidays a year, Wash
ington's birthday being- one and Dec
oration day another. Some 53,000
votes were cast- in Oklahoma at - last
year's, elect-ion 11,000 more than in
Florida, and 22,000 more than in Dela
ware and of these the plurality for
the successful party was only 1,100
Oklahoma desires to be a state befor
1900 and its desire may be realized.
