Gently.
De Yong, unlike most artists who
work with pen and brush, is also tai
ented as sculptor, and his modelling
has attracted as much notice as his
drawing, if not more. Louis w. Hill,
of the Great Northern, has taken a
keen interest in De Yong's modelling,
and has given him several big COM
missions for reproducing Indian life.
De Yong has made study of the
Indian sign language, and knows
more signs than any white man Rus
sell has ever met. De Yong knows
some 2,400 Indian signs, which is an
extensive vocabulary in that method
of speech.
During the past two years De
Yong's health has improved with
great rapidity, and he can again ride
and rope like he used to do. His
hearing is gradually being restored.
Like Russell, De Yong does some
writing from time to time, and it is
safe to say that he will be heard
from in the art world of this country
before he is much older.
The enterprise. [volume] (Harlem, Mont.) 1899-1926, 1916-10-12
Billie Kee, Montana's Richest
Chinaman, Involved in Chinese
Revolutionary Plot, Is Beheaded

Lewistown, which was his trading
headquarters. He owned stock in one
OF the Lewistown banks, and was or
terms of friendship with many of the
leading citizens of that place. Whel
the Milwaukee took over the Jawbont
railroad there was no further occa
sion for a hotel at Lombard. Kee
saw the finish coming several years
before the hotel outlived its useful
ness.
1t had long been his dream to amass
comfortable fortune and 60 back
to China, where, with his natural
astuteness, his American education
and his wealth, he thought he could
become factor in Chinese affairs.
Took Fortune With Him.
So when he saw that Lombard
would be no more than a whistline
station for the Milwaukee he decided
to close up his affairs, dispose of his
interests, turn everything into cash,
and return to China. He went away
with something like 100000 in gold,
enough to make of him a man of con-
sequence in his native land.
Very little is known of the circum-
stances leading up to his execution.
He was a man of pronounced republi-
can sympathies, and follower Of Sun
Vat Sen, first president of the Chin
csc republic. The government that
followed Sun Vat Sens administra-
ton was antagonistic to the Chinese
patriot, who several times had to put
distance between himself and the
paid assassins of his enemies.
KEGS pronounced ideas and the
opinions he had formed through a
quarter of century of residence in the
United States made of him a marked
man, and his friendship for Sun Vat
Sen put him in disfavor with the
Chinese government, represented by
Yuan Shi Kai.
Found Guilty of Treason.
At any rate he became embroiled
in one of the smaller revolutions that
broke out about the time that Presi-
dent Yuan was attempting to have
himself made emperor. He was found
guilty of treason, and beheaded. Hun
dreds of travelling men, who had oc-
casion to go into the Judith basin
country, will remember Billie Kee.

ranch life with COW outfits. He be-
came an expert with a rope and q
broncho twister. So efficient did he
become that he used to give exhibi-
tions of riding and roping and was
several times offered good contract
with the 101 Ranch show, which had
the best riders and ropers in the
country. ....
But it was not ordained that Joe
De Yong should be a stockman or a
twister of broncos; the fates had de-
creed that he was to be an artist.
Note, therefore,, how mysteriously
providence works.
When he was about 16, Joe was
stricken with a serious illness, and
for months his life was despaired of.
He was taken east and given the best
medical attention the country affords,
and gradually he began to recover.
But he believed he never would be
able to ride a horse again, and his
hearing was seriously impaired.
At this impressionable age his mind
was constantly busy with the pic
turesque life of the cow camps and
the roundup, which he had come to
know so we'll. He could no longer

follow it in reality, so the dormant
artist genius within him started to
come to the surface, and he began to
make pictures. Crude at first, his
pen rapidly developed skill and his
work was characterized from the first
with certain individuality and
strength that made it stand out. One
day he saw some Of Russell s work in
Wyoming, and he became at once a
warm admirer of the Montana paint
er. The following Christmas he drew
a caricature Of Russell aud sent it to
him. Russell was impressed with the
quality of the sketch and replied to
the letter, telling DeYong that he
hoped to meet him some day.
Then Fate took a hand in the game
again and directed DeYong's par
ents to Montana. They located at
Choteau. A few months later Joe
went to Great Falls and met Russell.
De Yong has progressed rapidly
since then, for he found in the work
of Russell an inspiration. De Yong
possesses keen sense of humor,
which characterizes much of his
work. His drawing has attracted at
tention in the east and he has been

after the interests Of these nations
who were banded together to fight
Germany. This made his position all
the more delicate.
Mrs. Gerard has been tower of
strength to her husband. She has
taken it upon herself to look after
wounded prisoners Of the allies, an
undertaking that carries with it a
vast amount of responsibility. 1t is
big man sized job, and she has dis
charged it in a manner to win the
praise of all the allied governments.
She writes her friends that when
the great war is over she is coming to
Montana with her husband, and will
spend long season in the beautiful
Bitter Root valley, where, as girl
she dreamed that some day she would
go to Europe and become the friend
OF princess and queen.

A Montana girl is queening it
among the crowned heads of Europe
She is the intimate of an empress,
and is on friendly terms with many
minor princelings and their families.
She spent her girlhood in Butte, when
the mining metropolis was not so i'm
portant as it is now. There are many
young men and women in Butte and
Anaconda and the Bitter Root val
ley who wnow her we'll.
This girl was Margaret DAILY, eld-
est daughter Of the late Marcus DAILY,
pioneer copper miner. She is the wife
OF James Gerard, the American am
bassador to the court of Emperor
William of Germany.
Marcus Days Rise.
Mrs. Gerard was a girl of tender
years when her father came to Butte
some thirty-five years ago In those
days her fathers position in the
world was inconsequental as compar-
ed with that he occupied at the time
Of his death. He then represented
the Walker Brothers of Salt Lake
City, and was in Butte to look after
their mining interests. The Walkers
holdings were silver mines,
That was before anyone dreamed
that the greatest copper deposit in
the world reposed under Butte hill. 1t
was Daly's genius which first visioned
its copper possibilities.
Daly's origin was humble. As a
boy he had fought his way across the
sea to America. He mined in the old
Comstock, at Virginia City. He had
not enjoyed educational advantages.
But he had master mind. He was
the creator, first of the Anaconda
Mining company, later Of the Anal
gamated. He built smelters and rail-
roads. He became a power in the bus
mess and political life of the Montana
of quarter of a century ago.
Daughter Is Clever.
The daughter of such a man could
not help being clever. She was sent
to the best schools. Her development
was rapid. She came from college
mistress Of manv things, and a very
brilliant young woman.
She married James Gerard Of New
York. Gerard was a young lawyer.
Father and grandfather before him
had been lawyers, members of CEN
Jury old firm. The family was
and among the elect socially
IF the metropolis.
Young Gerard went into politics
early. He identified himself with
rammany hall. He became the chair
nan of the finance committee of that
organization, a place Of much prestige

Billie Kee, for twenty-five
years resident of Montana, the
cleverest Chinaman that ever
came to the state, and man of
wealth, has suffered death by be-
heading in China recently. He
disposed of his Montana hold
ings several years ago and went
back to the land of his nativity
to enjoy the fortune he had &C
cumulated. It seems that he be-
came involved in some revolu-
tionary undertaking and was
caught at it. He was tried for
treason, adjudged guilty, and
sentenced to death. The news
has just reached Montana.
kee was very remarkable China,
man. He came to Montana as boy
and for years was a servant in the
home of the late Senator Carter at
Helena. His brightness attracted the
senator's attention, and he sent him
to a night school, where he quickly
learned to read and write English.
This achievement was the founda-
ton Of his education. He read every
thing, and developed amazingly. In
few years his speech was as pure
as that of the average native who has
enjoyed good educational opportun-
tiles. He became as we'll informed on
state and national affairs as any man
in Montana.
Ran Lombard Hotel.
He saved his money and started a
small hotel at Lombard. The hotel
grew with the country. The building
OF the Jawbone railroad from Lewis
town to Lombard, which was taken
over by the Milwaukee later. added to
his prosperity. He made good invest
ments, and grew wealthy.
He sent to China for "little
foot,' Chinese woman of the aris-
tocracy, and married her. The we'd
ding festivities were attended by many
men now prominent in Montana life.

born sons came to make

Young Montana Artist Is Coming
to Front; Pupil Of Chas. M. Russell

Montana has young artist whose
work is little known as yet in the
state, but who is destined to make his
mark in the picture world, according
to critics who are qualified to pass
judgment.
His name is Joe De Yong, and he
is barely out of his teens. His home
is at Choteau.
DE Yong is protege of Charles NJ.
the famous Montana artist.
The enterprise. [volume] (Harlem, Mont.) 1899-1926, 1916-10-12

The Montana woman, who as girl
played with Anaconda girls who are
now women grown, quickly became a
favorite at the court of the emperor
of the Germans. She became the in
innate friend Of the Empress, and
moved in the exclusive circle of the
German court, which is made up of
many vassal kings and princes Of the
empire.
When the great war broke out Ger
ard had a chance to prove his metal.
Many delicate questions arose. At
times the relations between Germany
and the United States were strained.
The submarine controversy is still
fresh in the public mind. Gerard,
representing the United States, was
compelled to take positive stand on
this question. He told the naughty
German chancellor some plain truths.
But he told his truths so adroitly and
was so fair in his representations.
that he got away with it, and helped
to keep the United States from be-
coming embroiled in the great Euro
pean war.
Gerard's Hard Job.
The "higher ups' of the German
statesmen are arrogant men, the
piyots around which the autocratic
German machine revolves. They be-
lleve Germany to be the most power
full nation in the world. At the time
of this crisis the great German
army, or armies, was successful on
every battle front, fighting on tie

CH0TEAU FARMER
MAKES HENS LAY
SUBSTITUTES ELECTRICITY FOR
SUNSHINE WITH GOOD
RESULTS.
Good Food, Warm Quarters, and Arti-
ficial Sunshine Induces Winter Ere
Laying; Gets Full Quota of Eggs
in Coolest Weather.

Write the name of Tommy Nc
Glenn of Choteau high on the scroll
OF fame. He has solved the winter
egg problem. He induces the LAYING
OF fresh eggs, in the bleak season
when fresh eggs are not supposed to
be laid, by electricity. This sounds
like joke, but it is not. He subst-
tuted electric lights for sunshine in his
Choteau henhouses, which are artifi-
cially heated
From the warmth and the bright
lights the hens get the impression that
1T IS the summer season. Possibly the

and the warmth, and the good whole

but at any rate, his hens are laying
eggs during the coolest winter season
with the regularity that is usual in
the springtime.
Has Made Success.
McGlenn came to Choteau from
Washington three years ago, and has
made a success of the poultry bust
ness. He understands poultry. For
long time he has been obsessed with
the idea that sunshine induced the
hens to lay and the thought came to
him that if he could substitute arti-
flclal sunshine for the real article, for
the benefit of his hens, he might in
crease their egg laying capacity.
80 he fitted up one of his warm
hen houses with electric lights. At
ter special course of feeding, lead
ing up to the coolest of the winter
season, he put his experiment to the
test. He would turn on his electric
lights about 4 O'Clock in the morning.
The BOOSTERS would crow, like Chanti-
cleer, and announce the rising of the
sun. The hens would bestir them
selves and begin to look for breakfast.
1t was always there.
Egg Output Increases.
McGlenn' s experiment worked sue
cessfully on 300 young hens. A few
days of this artificial sunshine had the
desired effect. The hens began to Law.
In few days he was collecting 80 to
80 eggs daily. A little later the out
put was increased to 225 and 23O eggs
daily.
McGlenn is making money out of
his experiment. He now has thous-
and hens which will receive the arti-
fetal daylight treatment this winter.
lie confidently expects to average $50
eggs daily from this number during
the winter months. He is now putting
them through special course in feed
ing, and about the first of December,
will turn night into day for them, and
expects to reap an abundant har-
vest.
McGlenn kept the Rainbow hotel
supplied with fresh eggs all last Win
ter, and has the contract with the
hotel for this winters eggs. He also
supplies the town of Choteau, and be-
sides his egg crop he raises chickens
