The George Memorial Fund

The Henry George memorial fund is
repeating the history Of most attempts
to build monuments to noted men in this
country. When the man dies monu-
ment fund is started on with great eclat.
and the money comes in rapidly, but
presently the stream of contributions
stops and the committee is in despair.
The George memorial fund has reached
this stage. Unfortunately the worthi-
ness Of the subject Of the commemora-
ton has usually little effect on the pock-
cts Of those who should be contributors.

The many days of his life have
never seen more enjoyable enter

Sunday, July 1, which was his
seventy eighth birthday, the oc-
casion being celebrated by re-
union of his children and twenty
six grandchildren. From eight
until ten O'clock the gathering OF
his children and grandchildren was
abundant evidence of the love and
esteem in which he is held by them
While father, mother, sons anC
daughters were sitting in the open
hall, talking over past events anc
looking at the little ones playing
their games, the joys of their child

wildly to their minds.
Delicious refreshments were
served in the cool, open air during
the course of the day, which PROVED
a most pleasing feature of the oc
casion.
The afternoon was very much en-
joyed with songs and recitations b.

perse. bidding their venerable
father farewell, and trusting tina

Indian chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1882-1902, 1897-12-23

part of his own arm and asked
himself how an injection there
could possibly affect every nerve.
He became curious to know how
one felt who dreamed pleasant
dreams nder the influence of mar
cotics. He ended his speculation
by having a quantity of the drug
and a syringe sent to him along
with full instructions, carefully
skulled and crossboned, as to how
to use it.
Scrupp had little of the modern
scientific spirit which investigates
before it believ S, and which sac
rifices scores OF animals to its in
vestigations, but he deemed it wise
to begin his experiments in the
use of morphine with cats. He
killed one before he learned to put
1t to sleep. After that he knew
just how to send them, as he i'm
agined, to a happy dreamland.
Cats could not tell him how the
experiment made them feel, and
no other children sickened, so one
evening Scrupp injected himself.
The third time he did it he felt no
desire to break away from the hab-
it, and some of his pupils noticed
that the schoolmaster was growing
pale and restless, but said no word
about it, for that is the Indian
child's way.
He would have died prematurely
from the effects of morphine if the
now famous Doctor Maria Pless of
Kansas City, had not come to the
Indian Territory to report on
1.-The sanitary condition of the
schools of the savages, and the in
ception of germ diseases therein"
Miss Pless had been one of the
very first of the moderen type CT
women to take up the study OF
medicine seriously, and she had
struggled through unbelievable
difficulties in her training to come
out, applauded by her professors,
to the end. She was young, Wig
orous and enthusiastic when she
came to visit Scrupp's school. 1t
was not long before she changed
her inquiries regarding the schol-
ars to speculation concerning the
condition of the teacher. A shrewd
guess backed up by pretty eyes
and a sudden direct question
brought a confession from the
schoolmaster's lips.
Yes. He had been using NOR
phine until he could't leave off. 1t
wouldn't be long anyway, and
why did she interfere? Nobody
understood him, nobody cared ],
and his relations were all gone; at
least all whom he cared to remem-
Der. She cared? But did she,
really? That would be such a
new experience, 10 have some one
care. Old George Boots, the full
blood, had chuckled when he
noticed how pale he grew, and had
grunted, Him got fever and ager,
eh!" No one else had remarked
on the change.
Maria, NJ. D. did care. She was
young with good share of impul
sive, girlish pity about her yet,
and she believed that it was ter
rible thing for this strong man 10
yield to such slave driver as
morphine. She was to stay in the
country for some time, and she
resolved TO help Scrupp get away
from his habit. Hers was simply
