his friends and began career Of out
lawry that has no counterpart in
American history. For three years
Joaquin and his band rode up and
down the mountains and through the
valleys Of California, Staying and pill
Laying. 1t is said that no less than
600 men were killed by him and his
bandit followers, or as a result of his
uprising Finally the state of Cali
fornia appointed Capt. Harry Love- a
veteran of the Mexican War, to lead
an expedition of soldiers against the
Mexican bandits and Murietta and his
immediate followers were slain in a
fierce battle. Joaquin's head was cut
off and served as a gruesome exhibit
at San Francisco for many years.
When Millers fiery poem concern
ing Joaquin was published, the people
of Oregon and California began to call
the poet joaquin" in derision. Miller
promptly adopted the name as his
own, And 1 have lived to see both
the name and the poem at least re-
spected," he writes in footnote to the
latest edition of the poem. which he
now calls joaquin Murietta," though
in its present state it has been pruned
Of much of its original fierceness.

NO REAL DIFFERENCE

The bard OF yesterday was held a dweller
in the clouds.
He walked with head high in the air and
scorned earth-hugging crowds
The poet of today stands with the dwellers
of the street,
He walks with simple dignity and watches
well his feet.
But there's essential difference The
poet of today
Has brought Pegasus up to date--it doesn t
dare neigh Nay"
The bard OF yesterday was e'er a ragged
kind of cuss.
His collar sadly rumpled and his hair an
awful muss.
The poet OF today is sleek; is always neat
He looks prosperous and happy, though his
pocketbook be lean.
But there's no essential difference. The
chappie bright and clever
Now doesn't wear his hair long. but his cash
is short as ever.
The bard of yesterday at fate was apt to
rail and grunt,
And starving in a garret was his regular
The poet Of today will spout his favorlte

OF large-szed checks the editors are send
ing him. SO there
Is no essential difference. There is really
none at all
He has simply snapped the attic for bed

The bard Of yesterday would sing Of ladies'
sweet and fair;
The poet Of today will sing of damsels
The bard of yesterday would rave OF little
birds that sing.
The poet of today will write for cash or
anything!
There's no essential difference 'twixt the
rhyming little men
There's the same old human nature in the

'cestume himself according to the re-
quirements of convention in order to
attend these functions, but that the
clothes didn't fit.
American publishers, in the east,
caught up Miller's London books after
they had made their hit abroad and
republished them. Miller lived few
years in Europe. visiting various ma
tions and settling down at one time to
make his home in Italy, but mountains
and trees in the sunlands of his youth
lured him and he returned to America
His life since then has been spent
chiefly on the Pacific coast, though for
a time he occupied a cabin on the hills
near Washington. D. c., where his pic
turesque dress made him a conspicuous
figure. For many years past Joaquin
Miller has lived at his home, 1.-The
Heights" near Oakland, Cal, the
point from which John c. Fremont
first viewed the Golden Gate His
aged mother resides with him. "The
Heights" is place of pilgrimage for
thousands of whom the poet of the
Sierras has sent a message of inspir
alton, or for whom his romantic career
possesses a curious interest.

"Songs of the Sierras," his first nota-

Frederick Neil Innes, the bandmaster
and composer, comes TO Los Angeles
after a successful engagement in San
Francisco, where he and his musicians
played for eight days to the capacity
Of Mechanics pavilion. In San Fran
cisco Innes had the support of an inn
mense adult and children's chorus and
this same plan will be followed in Los
Angeles. The programs are Of a char
acter never attempted in Los Angeles
by an organization of brass and reed
instruments. Besides a band of fifty
skilled musicians, Innes will offer noted
soloists. The adult chorus will num-
ber 500 voices and will be heard during
every night of the festival This
chorus has been in rehearsal for weeks
under the direction of Professor Julius
A. jain and bids far to make the
best choral production ever made by a
similar organization in Los Angeles.

Polytechnic chorus, 300 strong, which
has been trained by Mrs. Parsons,
director of music at the high school,
and which will be heard in three num-
bers at the matinee next Friday after
noon.
Madame Emma Partridge, the So
prano who has been with the Innes
hand for the last three seasons, will
be one of the interesting features cf
the Los Angeles program. Madame
Partridge's greatest achievement, the
rendition of Kundry's aria from Par
sifal" will be included in the "Parsifap'
program of the festival. Fritz Hutt-
man. late tenor with the Grau Opera
company; F. Archambault, baritone
who has been given golden praise in
the east: Bohumir Kryl, without doubt
the worlds greatest cornetist, and H.
J. williams, harpist, are among the
other soloists whose work will be en-
joyed by Los Angeles music lovers.
A feature of the Friday afternoon
program that will command attention
from local musicians will be the
violin solos of Miss Grace jeanette
Smith, who has been especially en-
gagged for the festival by Innes. Miss
Smith played for Innes when the band
master visited Los Angeles last fall
and he Immediately engaged her to
take part in the Los Angeles festival
There is every indication that the
children's chorus will receive lions
share of the praise from festival pa

BOOK NOT ES

~ CRIBNER'S MAGAZINE for May
contains a fine descriptive article,
- "Over Night at the Edge of the
Grand Canyon" by Benjamin Brooks.
This is illustrated with reproductions
from photographs by Dwight L.
Elmendorf, printed in tint. Ingersoll
Couderts poem, "The Desert" is an
appropriate companion to this strong
article. The poem follows:
Dcep-cradled in it's sapphire hills
The desert lies asleep;
Tall cacti. like gaunt sentinels,
a silent vigil keep,
Ard giant buttes stand motioness
In waves of amber heat.
No sound breaks on the listening earth,
So absolute, intense,
Is it surcharged with grand portent
Or poised in mute suspense,
Awaiting remote release
In some dim century hence?

on living-oh, that heavenly little gur-
along the circuit from me to you No
one else in the world could give me
such long distance thrill.
"See here, Central, will you stop in
terfering? What's that? don't
care if it is-what difference does it
make to you if 1 choose to talk here all
night? Your business is to let me
have the wire. Now, get off will you?
and I'll thank you not to listen, either!
Hello, hello, 1444-Longacre? Are you
still there. 1t was that confounded
Central that butted in. but I'll report
her to the manager if she does 1t again,
and if catch her listening I'll do the
same. This conversation is for your
pearly little ear alone, and 1 can just
see that pearly little object glued to
tie ear, how I should love to be near
enough to imprint add you hear any
thing through the phone? That is
what I'd like to do to the little ear,
and here's another and another. Did
you get them? l still beg you not to
interrupt me, Pansy. You see how
swimmingly I'm going 1t, and it would
be a pity to stop me now! Let me
tell you how adorably lovely 1 think
you are and how every thought of you
makes my heart beat to madness. To
ascend your doorstep makes me tremble
and even to have that snub-nosed
sandy-haired one open the door sends
an electric shock all over me. Palsy.
this is love-the real thing-no mis-
take about it-and it is what / offer
you, here through the instrument
Don't say you will have none of it; that
would be too utterly crushing to my
hopes. My uncle, the one in the coun-
try has just very kindly died and left
me tidily fixed, so 1 would not be ask
ing you to share my lot without
house on 1t. Hello, hello, are you still
there?
'Now, see here, Central. this is just
one too many! Give me the managers
office! Hello! The managers office?
I want to speak to the manager. Is
this say, manager, l want to re-
port the rudeness Of the Central office
to you. The operator who gave me
the connection I asked for has been
uniformly uncivil and impudent and
want to lodge complaint.i l am sorry
to do so, but 1 am driven to it by her
conduct. DO? She has done every
thing! 1t was with the greatest diff
Guilty that 1 could make her give me
this connection. 1444-Longacre, in the
first place. Then she started to cut
me off several times. The message is
one of the greatest importance and the
party at the other end of the wire has
been left in almost fatal suspense.
Isn't there some penalty attached for
listening? This message is strictly
private and 1 feel sure the operator
has been trying to overhear the con-
versation. Well. never mind, only
don't let it happen again, that's all;
and see to it, will you, that l get 1444

Hello, 1444? Are you there, Pansy?
No. don't try to speak, that maidenly
little buzz tells me-lf my heart didn't
