Madame Catalan. one Of tbs
greatest singers Of her time.
In n previous article mention
was made OF her discovery neaI
the end OF the 18th century where
she sang In one Of the churches
In an Italian city. In due time
she found her way to Paris. where
she became great favorite OF
Napoleon.
Determined that she remain In
Paris NO that he might enjoy her
vocal abilities whenever he wished,
Napoleon ordered her TO come 10
the Tuileries. Not daring 10 dis
obey, the singer awaited his
pleasure.
Napoleon knew that she was In
tending TO leave Paris. and with
out wasting time inquired. where
are you going, Madame ?"
TO London, SIR" said the as
tonished and somewhat aff1ghtcd
songstress
But you must stay In Paris"
declared Napoleon testify. You
shall have a hundred thousand
francs year "a very good sum
at that time) and two months
vacation. Consider the matter
settled. Bon jour. Madame"
Too much frightened TO tell the
tyrant that she had engagements
abroad that she must keep, cata-
lani retired at his curt dismissal
and FASTENED to her apartments.
A few days afterward. q docu-
ment conforming the arrangement
was left at her home. Determined
not to be subjected to the whims
Of Napoleon, she resolved to es-
cape his bondage. even though the
letters were golden.
Hence she disguised herself in
the habiliments OF nun and
FASTENED To the sea coast. There
she found vessel exchanging
prisoners. Seeking out the cap
tain she secured his silence and
assistance by adding a generous
sum to his purse. When the YES
sci left France. the nun was on
board.
Napoleon might not have relish
ed this stratagem and perhaps
would have made the willful lady
feel that his power was not con-
fined to Paris, but military af-
fairs just then took serious turn.
Soon the emperor had more
weighty things to occupy his
mind than sending after runaway
opera singers.

that would eventually pay divi-
dends and he put it into force in
his every move and transaction.
Was Given Time
u owed the Weyerhaeusers
$500 000,' said Tacoman recent
ly in lauding George Long. II
didn't have the money and l did
not know what to do. so l went
to Mr.. Long and told him what
had happened. He could have
closed me out and taken my timber
holdings. but he simply told me to
pay when l could and | finally did,
about two years later
To the Weyerhaeuser office
came all kinds of men to consult
Mr. Long, His office was always
near the door and he was never
too busy to be seen. If he did not
have time to discuss the subject
in hand he would make date
when he could go into it thor
oughly.
Likened 10 Lincoln
Tall and spare, George Long was
often likened TO Abraham Lincoln
for his leadership. ability as an
organizer of men and his intrinsic
honesty. Quiet and earnest ne had
little to say for the most part, but
when he had digested a situation
his opinions were highly valued.
The tenser the situation the more
likely was his quiet good humor
to prevail and bring solution. or
at least compromise to the
debate
Not a city builder in the sense
of laying out real estate tracts,
building street railways or estab-
fishing factories in Tacoma, Long
still was force for stability at a
time when waves of financial un-
certainty were rocking Tacoma.
He did not hesitate 10 contribute
his company's or his own personal
funds to any movement which he
thought would benefit either Ia
coma or the state and. though his
name seldom appeared among
those that got the credit, there
was scarcely community enter
prise in his time in which he did
not have a part.
