An Unfinished Portrait of Longfe11ov


About two months ago, Mrs. Edwin G.
Burleigh of the Maine World Fairicom-
mittee, wrote to Mrs. Caroline Dana
Howe, and made request, through her,
that the Women's Literary Union of this
city, should furnish portrait of Long
fellow to be hung in the Maine building
at Chicago. Mrs. Howe remembered to
have seen a portrait of the poet in the
Thomas mansion, and upon mentioning
the matter to Miss Chorlotte Thomas an
offer of the portrait was made and ac-
cepted. 1t is an unfinished portrait; that
is, lalthough the head is perfect the
shoulders were never completed. 1t was
the work of the artist Charles o. Cole,
formerly of this city. As nearly as can
be ascertained it must have been painted
in 1910 when Longfellow was 33 years old
and a professor at Harvard. He was
here at the time on summer vacation.
The picture has been insured for 5000
and sent to Gen. Mattocks at Chicago.
On the back of the picture is inscribed:
"This picture was presented to Charlotte
]. Thomas, when. Mrs. Cole broke up
housekeeping in October, 1892, to be kept
by Miss Darling until called for"

This Boy Seems To Be an Imposter.

A boy of sixteen was soliciting money
on Fast Day to take him, as he said, to
his home in Philadelphia He represent
ed that he had been working in restaur-
ant in Montreal, where he had scalded
his arm very badly. His employer had
paid his way to this city where he was
left without means to go further. He
was trying to collect money that he
might leave at once. Some kind hearted
individuals supplied his wants and col
lected some money for him. Later he
was taken to the Atlantic House and the
landlord requested to furnish him with
meals and lodgings until his case could
beinvestigated. Supper was given him
after which he went out for a walk and
has not been seen since. AS he may still
continue soliciting, thelsecretary of the
Associated Charities requests persons
not to give him money. 1t rs true that
he has a bad arm, but the rest of his
story is considered very improbable.
