George AIDE Of the Chicago Record
L. in Honolulu.

George AIDE is in the city on his way
back to Chicago from a tour of the ORR
ent. AIDE is one of the young American
writer's like Ned Townsend, Julian
Ralph, Finley Peter Dunno and others,
who have made their regulations by
their daily newspaper work. Nearly
ten years ago AIDE went to Chicago and
took position on the staff of the Rec
ord. He made his first hit with regu-
lar daily department called Stories of
the Streets and of the Town." which
was started just after the Worlds Fair
and has been continued
From these sketches Mr. AIDE has
made up several books. Among the
best are "Artie, Pink Marsh" and
Doc Herne." Fables in Slang" is his
latest and has helped to add to his rep
utation. They are all written in the
choicest of Chicago slang, but are Iree
from coarseness and have morals obvl-
Gus to the most obtuse. Mr. AIDE is a
modest, simple young man, whose per-
sonality is as engaging as his stores.
His day in Honolulu has made him in
love with its scenes and its maidens.
Today he will visit Eva plantation and
will leave by the China this evening.
