THE KITCHENER MYTH.
The other day, at a dinner party in the North, says a writer in the Pall Mall Gazette, a lady declared she had postive proof that Lord Kitchener was alive, the proof being that the sword Lord (Kitchener, took with 'him on board the Hampshire was now in the Tower of London, being kept for him. A letter was at once written by one of the guests to an officer stationed at the Tower to ask if this was true. The answer came that there was certainly a sword of Lord Kitchener’s in the Tower, in a glass case, together with Lord Wolselcy’s sword and Lord Roberts ’ revolver. But on further inquiry it turned out that the sword was an old Royal Engineer sword worn by Lord Kitchener in his younger days, aud not a Field Marshal’s sword, which would be the only one he would Lave had o n the Hampshire.
