Henry Georges First Friend.

Henry Georges First Friend.
u the late seventies Henry George.
TIE single tax reformer. came east
from California. He was d~esperatel!
poor and had but few acQuaintances.
Shortly after his arrival he lectured
before the Saturday Ethical club OF
New York. where his brilliant orator!
and shabby attire made SO striking .
contrast as to excite the sympathy OF
those present.
After he left the club appointed Il
committee to aid him in getting up Il
public lecture. Among others. the com
mittee included Seth Low. who was
then engaged in business. He was in
consultation at the time. and the com
mittee We're in a hurry. so ne told them
to send him a lot of tickets. They for
warded 20 to him the same day and
felt happy at having secured $40 fo-
the lecture fund. The ext mornin:
came a letter of thanks from Mr.. Low
praising the lecturers intellectually
and ~inclosing a check for $3.50. The
affair was a success. netting about
$500, so that President Low may be
said to nave beer the first man to start
Mr.. George on his eastern career.
Twenty years later, in 1897, MI. Low
was the citizens candidate and Mr..
George the labor candidate for mayor
Of New York. The latter made a Wig
orous campaign and in all his speeches
advised the citizens, if they could not
vote for him, to vote for his friend
Seth Low. and on u occasion he said
he would not be there as a candidate.
Few understood his full meaning

One day when he had guests at din

"A Popular Misconception Of Van

II the number Of houses in which
there hang reproductions Of a certain
drawing Of a little child's head after
Nandyke could be enumerated, it
would cause establishment. There is
nothing surprising In the popularity
of the head. But whatever genius
named it Baby Stuart is responsible
for many ludicrous misapprehensions.
There are women who believe that this
head was painted by Gilbert Stuart.
There are women who have asked if
1t was the infant Of \. I. Stewart.
Again, there are women who know
that it depicts q Of the children of
Charles l. but who do not know which
one Of his children it is. whether it is
a boy or a girl. or who painted the
original. The head is that of the sec.
ond son Of Charles |. and the name of
the child was James. Nandyke paint
cd him time and time again. One of
the family groups Of Charles chill

From the head Of little James in that
group a copy vas made by Raffaello

a joke is aimed at him. Here is the
latest story they are telling about him:
\ grocer's boy entered the doctors
office the other day with a basket Of
Tine fruit which some grateful patient
had sent to him. The doctor told the
boy to place the basket in a cabinet
which stood against the wall. At the
same instant he stepped out of the
room, and, going into an adjoining one.
manipulated a cOntrivance w:lich caus-
ed an articulated skeleton within the
cabinet to waggle its head and limbs
in an appalling manner just as the
messenger boy opened the door.
With a yell of terror the boy fed.
When the doctor had enjoyed a hearty
laugh. he picked up a fine apple and
followed the boy into the street to give
it to him. Come here, my boy" he
shouted. Heres a fine apple for you"

amount pledged by them, with the un-
derstanding that the checks shall be re-

percent OF the amount is not raised. By
this method they expect to overcome all

The Public Schools Of Red Lodge Must
Close Unless the Taxes Subscribed
Are Paid.
SPECIAL TAX CALLED FOR
The School Board Will Guarantee That
Eighty Per Cent Of Subscriptions Will
Be Paid, Else Refund Amount.

At the meeting of the school board on
Monday evening the question of the
ability OF the board to maintain the city
schools very much longer, without the
payment Of the special school tax, which
had been generally subscribed by the
citizens Of Red Lodge, was brought ZIP
and called forth remarks from the mem
bers Of the board who were best ac-
quainted with the situation The fact
was developed that there was yet on
hand about ST so iii funds belonging To
the school district, besides $500 due
from the county for rent Of the High
school building. The bills to be paid
would take about 81 600 to settle leaving
about $500 in the fund with which to
carry On the schools until next january,
when this years assessment for taxes be-
comes due from the county. This is not
more than enough 70 continue the
schools for one month"; and unless the
special school tux ~ speedily paid TIC
city schools will have to suspend until
the first of the Year.
Enough money was raised 10y sub
scription among the taxpayers of the
city to meet all expenses Of the schools,
were payment only made Some OF the
heaviest taxpayers, however, have shown
an inclination to withhold payment until
eighty per cent Of the school taxes are
paid in, ard if this is persisted in, the
amount needed will never be raised The
Northern Pacific company has expressed
its willingness to pay its pro rata share
of the school taxes just as soon as two
thirds Of the total tax is collected. The
Rocky Fork company will undoubtedly
pay it's share, provided there is anything
like Il general response to the request to
pay up.
In view of all tho facts iii the ease the
board decided that there was but one
course to pursue in the collection of the
funds that have been subscribed. That
course is to have the committee which

Alderman A. n. aIager, Hon e. G.. Bow

NOTICE.

To Our Notwithstanding Friends:
The Chinese merchants and residents
of the Hawaiian Islands, represented by
the undersigned, being oes1rous of pro-
viding for their sons thorough and
comprehensive education In English,
raised in pledges, from August to De-
cember, sufficient funds to justify them
in undertaking to erect commodious
buildings for this purpose In Kamakela.
The contract was let and the main
uilding partially completed, when the
plague broke out and interrupted the
work. AS you we'll know, our country
men have been the greatest sufferers
from this epidemic and the fires con-
nected with 1t. Consequently, those
who generously subscribed toward the
school enterprise, being called upon to
donate large sums for the relief of their
fellow-countrymen who have suffered
severely from the fire, find themselves
unable to fulfill their pledges at pres
ent. The main building is now on the
point of completion, and the contractor,
himself homeless, is in great need of his
money.
In this emergency, and because we
believe you recognize that our motives
| in undertaking this enterprise were
philanthropic, our object a commend
able one, and hat We are in no wise at
fault for the straits in which we now
find ourselves; we therefore solicit such
contributions to our present needs as
your benificence will allow. Send all
cash or pledges to Wong Kwai, Box
