"A hundred times on my journey across the
continent quoted Joaquin Miller. His lines
upon the plains and mountains, rose again
and again to my lips, so apt are his descrlp-
tions, so comprehensive his moods. From the
time we struck out upon the rising fresh
green slopes that led to the Rocky noun
tains, till l reached the region of st. Helena
in her wild unmeaSured miles OF WOOD and
Mt Hood with its terrible heights rising
like tower of roses and violet marble,
found in Songs of the SHUTDOWN Seas the
constant expression of what l saw.
At the foot of Mount Shasta l understood
his line of the "cool white rivers, and L
understood at last the depth and tenderness
of his apostrophe to the Serras, after see
ing a thousand miles of their eternal tents
of snow that flash DER the battlements of
mountains" One of the great pleasures
promised myself was visit to the poet
himself. / knew the man who could write
such virile and lofty nature-songs could not
but be an admirable and interesting per-
sonality at the bottom, because great
streams do not rise from desert sands.
He lived in Oakland, l was informed and
at my first opportunity took the ferry,
with the entire afternoon before me in
which to find him. 1t was well | started
early In the Oakland directory l found this
inscription:
c. H. Miller, Fruit Grower,
Residence on the Heighths.
1t made me aware at once OF the man
peculiar personality, and made me think or
rugged John Burroughs with his garden on
the Hudson. l inquired where the Heighths
were and of the poet Everybody seemed
to know of Mr.. Miller, but nobody seemed to
know where to find him. One young man
said it was a long walk up the foot hills,
he had been up there with a party of young
people, once, but it was in the night and a
hard climb and couldn't remember much
about the road.
Two or three asked me if I were going
up to interview him, which made me under
stand something of the poets reason in get
ting so far away.
1 met a young man on my walk across
to a suburban horse car line. He said, Yes,
I know Miller, he's rough old fellow,
wears boots.' This was the most remarka-
BILE thing about Miller in his mind.
After leaving the horse car which ran

i've got a mile of roses" he said with
smiling pride.
He told me that his habit was to drive
away with his writing in the forenoon
while in the afternoon he worked with the
man to whom he had given part of his
plow-land in payment for assistance In the
other work about the orchard. Thus it
will be seen, he has much the same idea
expressed by Tolstoi as he walks behind
his Russian harrow.
We ate supper in the tent-ike dining
room of his mothers cottage. He served
in quiet, free hospitality, and talked on
about the great new world of liberty and
equality which he saw coming.
After the meal we walked out to see his
Italian chestnuts and his olives, and there
l saw more of his mile of roses. His re-
markable water supply is of great value,
and enables him to have springs and foun-
tains at most unexpected places. He took
a boyish delight in showing them to me-
One most notable fountain produced at a
moments notice a marvellous natural
shower which fell upon the roof in musical
roar. This device enabled him to sit under
fine shower in midsummer moons when
all the rest of the land lay parched and
choked in dust. 1t was a poets thought
and like many another poets thought, was
both beautiful and practical.
Coming back to the house and being
wrapped in bear skins to keep off the chill
we talked art and literature and altruistic
living, while the shadows fell over the CITY
below and the light was lifted from the
sea. The longer l talked with him, the
more elemental and admirable he became
to me, and yet l saw how easily he could
be misunderstood and caricatured,
He has no books about him. not even
his own. He has ink and paper and manu-
scripts, but like Whitman and Riley and
other of the nature group of our poets and
novelists, he does not need a library. He
reads good deal, too, in the way Of cur
rent literature, but his time is mainly given
to creative work or to his orchard.

powerful and original genius. The choice

A Hint for Fly Time.

An efficient fly poison, which has the
merit of being poisonous only to flies, is
made of the yolk of an egg beaten up with
a teaspoonful each of ground black pepper
and molasses. 1t should be poured in shall
low plates and set about. This is simple
process by which to catch the few flies
that slip into a house before the screens
are put up, for most housekeepers wait
until warned by the buzzing insects Of their
arrival to put in the safeguards.
