than that now, with this stern business gravity injected into it. The bankers dis cussed the monument with me. We met several times. They proposed an inde- structible memorial to cost $25000. The insane oddity of a monument set up In a village to preserve name that would outlast the hills and the rocks without any such help would advertise Elmira to the ends of the earth-and draw custom. It would be the only monument on the planet to Adam and in the matter Of interest and impressiveness could never have a revival until somebody should set up a monument to the Wilky Way.
 People would come from every cor ner of the globe to stop off to look at it; no tour of the world would be com piete that left out Adams monument Elmira would be q mecca. There would be pilgrim ships, as pilgrim rates: pill grim special on tho continents railways, libraries would he written about the monu- ment, every tourist would kodak it, mod els of 1t would be for sale everywhere on the earth, and it's form would become as familiar as the figure of Napoleon.
 One of the bankers subscribed $5000 and I think the other one subscribed half as much, but l do not remember with certainty now whether that was the figure or not. We got designs made. COf1t Ol lDtiH tdHlt llbiii dllS
 In the beginning-as a detail of the project when 1t was as yet a Joke-l had framed humble and beseeehing and perfervid petition to congress begging the government to build the monument as a testimony of the great republics gratitude to the father of the human race and as a token of her loyalty to him in this dark day of his humiliation when his older children were doubting him and de- sorting him. 1t seemed to me that his pe- tition ought to be presented now. It would be widely and feellngly abused and ridieuled and cursed and would ad- vertise our scheme and make our ground floor stock go off briskly. So I sent it to General Joseph R Hawley, who was then in the house, and he said ne would pre- sent it. But he did not do 1t. I think he explained that when he came to read it he was afraid of it. It was too serious, too gushy. too sentimental-the house might take it for earnest

To Musicians.

MT. Edward c. Powell. for fiva years choir director and lay reader at the Church of tho Advent, has Just returned from New York. While there he studied with his old teacher, Frederick Bristol; also spent much time in Brlstol's studio observing his work. Bristol thoroughly en- dorses MT. Powell and invites those in- terested In vocal music to write to him personally that he may have an oppor- tunity to express his opinion in full. When we remember that Erricson Busch nell oratorio bass, and Olive Fremstadt, soprano, with Metropolitan Opera com pany are products of Brlstors vocal the ories and work we realize the value Of his opinion. At Ocean Grove MT. Powell heard Reed Miller, his old pupil and tenor at the Advent, sing the tenor roles with Tally Essen Morgans orchestra. As MT. Millers guest he was rendered many courtesies by prominent musicians, was entertained at Allenhearst club, the fa- nous resort of the artistic, shnd other places equally as interesting. Mir. Powells 6 studio will remain in St. Andrews Broth erhood Chapter House, 2o1i Sixth avenue, north.

IN A MOUNTAIN BUNGALOW
The Glowing Beauty of August Days in the Land of the
 Yellow Sunset

Etowah. N. C., August 12.-(special.l- Since I have had an opportunity to ob serve nature in some of her varying moods have found that she reserves her greatest pleasures for a more intimate acquaintance. The first walk in the heart of the woods does not reveal the real charms that lie in store for those who are willing to come day after day. It is necessary in order to appreciate nature in this golden month of August to have a slight conception of the earlier and more indefinite beauty of May. The secrets revealed now without any attempt at con- cealment make an alien in the woods eager for the more intimate companion- ship and longer stay. With this desire to understand with keener sympathy the mysterious and magical changes wrought by nature, there is the conflicting emo ton that makes the vividness of the pres ent of sufficient charm to banish ali thought of the riper beauty that is to come. The things imparted in single day in Q thousand enchanting ways fill us with q sense of the completeness of na- ture. without thinking of the thousand days that have left their glowing trail upon our memories and of those yet to come when other suns and other moons shall shine.
 That this enjoyment of the present is not without a desire to penetrate deeper into those things that in some unspeak- able way suggest worlds unknown is one of the forces that comes from the unrest pervading the great world beyond the woods. but in the heart of them, such moods become revery. Days passed under the trees in the far fields, or along old and dreaming roads bring with these moods revery a sense of utter freedom which comes by looking deeper into the great mysteries and meditating upon the impressions that All the soul
 The yellow beauty that has fallen over the fields begins with the dawn which breaking over the forest transforms them into a mystical world.

 'She has pretty hair" the athletic girl admitted. but it is never dressed evenly. The right side always looks much better than the left
 That is because she never moves her bureau" said the wise girl. "Ier room is so small that she can't haul things around. so month in and month out her looking glass stands in the same corner by the window, and month in and month out she dresses with her right side to the light and the left in shadow
 consequently one-half of her face and hair is well groomed, while the other half gets only a lick and promise Any girl who would avoid looking onesided must dress one week with right side to the window. the next week with her left side in the light

cal moods of nature when she shines in the reflected glory of the sun. This yell low world now at my door has the look of daffodils The serene loVliness or the days differ from the expectant ones or May, or the riper beauty of September. The sky, the dawn, the twilights, the fields are still untouched by that bril- liancy of a season when scarlet bowers are found in the pathway of nature, but the transformation that fs to come Is discernible in the silken tassel of the corn.
 I noticed today that all the flowers are yellow. On the other side of the Orr wheat field there are great masses or tall flowers that wave in the winds like gay butterflies. While hillsldes have turned golden and when you come upon open fields you realize that the time passed in the May woods has not been sufficient preparation for the beauty of yellow landscape. On up the road, as far as Mary's house, countless wild flowers fill my days with such delight that do not know what I shall do when l have to give them up Whenever that day comes and I know that l am looking upon my golden fields for the last time, shall end 1t sud- denly by closing the bungalow door and never giving a backward glance. When things have to be done I believe in get ting through with them quickly and with
 
 The inexhaustible pleasure of these days in the woods is not in the least under stood by some people who are staying at a charming inn few miles away and who have driven over for tea. They are. at a loss to know what l find to entertain myself and why l have taken to coun- try life.
 What do you do when 1t rains and the roads are muddy?' asked one of these women who spends summer after summer in a dreadful form of slavery.
 T should die of fright if l spent single night in the country" said another wo- man. and the entire afternoon, yellow one with the woods so sweetly fragrant after a summer rain, was wasted in the attempt to make me perfectly miserable and to convince me that I should spend what little time there remained in sensi- ble way
 I admit that all they say is true from their point of view. I once put the very same questions to myself. But l was such an alien then and knew nothing of the joys that begun the very moment the little bungalow door was opened to the early spring sunshine. The scent of the woods, the wild flowers that filled the rooms, the notes of the forest thrush, the sweetness and beauty that lay at my door, the promise of the on-comlng sum- mer, the peace, the blessed loveliness of that one day made me wish to always stay near to the trees, or at least never to wander go far away but that l could get frequent glimpses so that never again would I feel a sense of unfamilarity with nature.

BOSTON NATIONAL
PLAYERS MUT|NY
Five May Jump to Tri-
State League.
REFUSE TO GIVE REASON
Disgruntled Men Keep Their Own
Counsel-Pulliam Trying to
Prevent Detection.

PIITSBURG. Pa, June IA baseball
sensation was created here yesterday by
the announcement, Semi-offfcially, that
there was open revolt in the ranks of
the Boston National League team, and
that five of the teams best players
Raymer. Delehanty, Sharpe, Young, and
Wolverton-had already arranged for
jumping the Boston team and the Ma
tional League, going over to the Tri-
State League, which has guaranteed
them salaries almost double that which
they are now getting.
1t was through the presence of Presi-
dent Harry Pulliam. Of the National
League here, that the scheme was made
public. Pulliam had a conference with
several of the disgruntled players, but,
it Is understood, could do nothing with
them The players refuse absolutely to
discuss the matter at all.
Pittsburg Also.
1t also developed that Otis Clymer,
right fielder of Pittsburg, has demand
ed his unconditional release. This has
been refused him. Clymer is suspected
of wanting to play with Coatesvil1e, Pa.
where big inducements are offered. and
unless something is done soon to patch
up the trouble between himself and
Barney Dreyfuss, it is not unlikely that
Clymer will GO, even If he does not get
his release.
