OVER THE RAMAPCS.


A wild Region That II Quite Close
20 New York City.
Who would believe that within thir
ty-two miles Of New York city there
are mountain dwellings in district so
wild and rough that they are mac
cessIble even to the feet Of ponies; that
no produce can be taken out to nor
supplies brought in from these farms
save on the backs Of men, that the
people gain their living by making bas-
kets, wooden spoons and such light ar
tcles as they can transport on their
shoulders: that even the bodies Of the
dead cannot be taken out, but must be
buried in the forest or In the yards of
the mountain cabins; region where
the people are as primitive In their
ways. though not so lawless In their
tendencies, as the Tennessee mountain
GERS? 1t is hard to believe, but 1t is
true.
When, in the middle Of August, l
pitched my tent on the easterly side OF
the easterly range Of the Ramapos, in
Rockland county, close to mountain
stream, did not know that just over
the range Of these wild mountains de-
scendants Of the Tory rangers Of 1916
were yet to be found. l did not know
that the higher reaches of the noun
tains were tolerably full Of rattle
snakes Of great size and beauty. did
not know that the wild dogs lived up
there. only perceived tha! the bills
were beautiful. the air pure and invig-
Grating the woods practically unbroken
and the streams clear and cold. per
ceiyed that there were no swells' places
anywhere in the hills, and that the
wood rangers pasturage was nm
broken. The people whom l met were
cordial. smiling. unsuspicious. liked
Ramapos as the result of only glance
and liked them still better after a
camping acquaintance Of a couple OF
weeks.
1t certainly did not decrease my IN
terest to know that, beginning some
twenty or more years ago, sundry do
nestle dogs Of large size. dnding In
the Ramapo woods no one to say them
nay, had fed from the lowland farms
to the hills and had. after going quite
wild, started q breed Of creatures
which has now taken on quite a type

AIbanI and Gye.

The story of Nine. Albanls first Lon
don engagement is MS follows: Colonel
Mapleson heard of her singing at q
theater at Malta, and, thinking that
she would be successful, he made her
an offer, through an agent. OF a contract
10 sing in Her Majesty's theater. She
agreed TO 1t and went TO London; but,
on arriving there, she told the cabman
TO drive her to the Italian opera house.
He, instead of going to Her Majesty's,
took her to Covent Garden, which was
also devoted to italian opera.
She was shown up to the managers
office and stated that she had come to
sign the contract which Mr.. Mapleson
had offered her. Mr.. eye, thinking to
play a joke on his rival, Mapleson,
made out contract, and Albani signed
1t. Mr.. Gye then told her that he was
not Colonel Mapleson, but that he
could do much better by her. He offer
ed to tear up the contract If she liked,
but told her that Nilsson was singing at
Her Majesty's and would brook no
rival.
Albani decided to let the contract
stand and thus became one of the stars
of Covent Garden, eventually marrying
the son of Mr.. eye.

The legal profession of the present
day will be surprised to learn that Mr.
Webster, the greatest American law.
yer of his time, made but $4,000 a
year by his practice. But the fees OF
counsel between 1910 and 1850 were
not what they have been since.
In 1918 | accompanied client &c
Mr.. Webster's Office in Boston and ask
ed him to name a retaining fee in an
important patent case. He said he
thought n couple of hundred dollars
would do. When the case was tried
his fee was only $1,000. On another
occasion l paid him a retaining fee OF
$1,000 for the proprletors of the Good
year india rubber patent.
His fee for arguing the great equity
cause of Goodyear versus Day in the
circuit court of the United States fol-
the district of New Jersey, by which
he established the validity of the Good

the spring of 1852, and was the last
case he ever argued.
