George NJ Henault of Kent district is a
self-constituted page of the Maryland house
OF delegates. At the session of 1904 his
name was not on the pay roll, and he was
never regularly appointed He made him
self so generally useful to the members
however, that at the close of the session he
was paid in full for his services. He has
prepared an order naming himself as page
which he Is now trying to get some mem
Der to introduce. 1t is a generally recog-
nized fact that he is the most useful page
the house has ever had and does more ac-

gether. Since the session opened early in
January Henault has been at ANNAPOLIS
and has made himself useful and agree
able to every member.
