GRAND VIEW, N. Y, Sept. 21.-At this
| lovely spot en- the west bank of the Hud-
son, about twenty-five miles away from
the roar of the busy city, and only half
hours drive above the New Jersey line and
the end of the Palisades, lives James R.
Gilmore, the Edmund Kirke so famous
thirty years ago. and who now, at the age
of sixty-nine, is still actively engaged in
literary pursuits.
Across the broad expanse of the Hud-
son. ginning in the sunlight with vari-
colored tints, which here has twice the
width it has where it's waters lave the
docks and piers of the great metropolis, is
Tarrytown, trihe to the northeast; nearly
opposite, is Irvington, with a glimpse Of
Jay Gould's summer mansion in the back
ground, and the old Dobbs Ferry below,
awakening recollections of the Sleepy Hol.
low legends of Irving. and the tragical
ending of the unfortunate British soldier,

quarters and the Andre monument (sadly
mutilated), are just TO the south.
His home, a handsome, spacious cottage
villa, clings to the hillside with lawn in
front just large enough for q croquet
ground, while 200 feet below is the famous
pike, running northward to Nyaek. His
working room, of ample dimensions, con-
tanning a choice library, is at the back Of
the house. on the second story, with cor
ner windows at two ends, looking out
against the dead wall of stones, trees and
foliage, but the sense of rest and quiet
those environments so dear TO the heart of
the student and writeT-are here in their
maximum serenity and sweetness. The
house is surrounded by porches and
yerandas.
His last novel, a Mountain White
Heroine" which has sold largely, will I'M
fortunately prove a losing speculation to
him for the time being, owing TO the gen

Meerschaum Pipes. ViOlins and Poems
Certain things are good for nothing
until they have been kept long while,
and some are good for nothing until
they have been long kept and used. OF
the first wine is the illustrious and i'm
mortal example. OF those that must be
kept and used will name three-meer-
schaum pipes, violins and poems The
meerschaum is but poor affair until it
has burned a thousand offerings to the
cloud compelling deities.
Violins, tOo-the sweet old Amatil-
the divine Stradivariusl Stained, like
the meerschaum, through and through
with the concentrated hue and sweetness
of all the harmonies which have kindled
and faded on its strings
Now, | tell you, a poem must be kept
and used like meerschaum or a violin
A poem Is just as porous as the mssr-
schaum; the more porous il is the better
mean to say that a genuine poem is
capable Of absorbing an indefinite
amount Of the essence Of our own human
ity, its tenderness, its heroism, its re-
grets. its aspirations. so as to be gradu-
ally stained through with a divine sec
ondary color derived from Ourselves-
