A COVETED NOOK.
One spring desperate artist bethought him
this year of deserted cottage that he had come
across in his rambles over the Orange Noun
tains several seasons ago. 1t was in a glade
beside stream on the very mountaintop, at
least a mile from the nearest neighbor. Rabbit
partridge and raccOon dwelt in the immediate te
vicinity. Blueberries and raspberries for sus-
tenance and mountain laurel for ornament grew
In wild profusion. As evidence of solitude few
people in the nearest village knew that such a
place existed The artist, rapt with bIissful
fanctes (and probably mistaken by the local
hack driver for counterfeiter or escaped con-
Vlct), hastened to the scene and almost wept
as he saw that another Robinson Crusoe had
seized the abode The cottage was trim and
gay in a coat Of new yellow paint, the little
barn repaired, an enclosed garden, a kennelled
dog, roaming fowls-all that he had fondly i'm
agined. However, he did not lose heart by this
misfortune and in nearby mountain gorge

A HARDY PERENNIAL.

This centennial celebration said one officer,
should succeed in reminding New York that is
has the 7th still with it. OF late years the city
has In way grown beyond us. Time was when
the 9Th was part OF it's life. and certainly It's
chief object Of pride. 1t Is Just as WELL for old
times sake. that certain stirring and pleasant
memories should be revived It is strange to
think OF any New Yorker being uninterested In
the 9Th Regiment-but all New YOrkers are not
OF yesterday. Do we feel slighted? Not at alls
we nave not the time for that. The 9TH Is a
hardy perennial living life Of It's own. stronger
more united. and more efficient than it has ever
been in its history. We are nearly up to our
maximum Of members. somewhere in the neigh
borhoOd OF a thousand, and. speaking from a
long experience, don't know any regiment with
less OF the frillS and more Of the all round ef1-
cheney associated with military service The re-
suits at Creedmoor last season Indicate that az
the close OF the first century OF it's history the
organization has attained a higher degree Of
efficiency in rifle practice than ever before. For
many years the number Cf qualifications in the
narksman class has been greater than the aver
age aggregate strength, therefore no advance in
this direction is pOssible; and IN the higher
classes which are O1tside the limits Of required
duty the number OF qualifications is now almost
one-haf of the total The value OF the regiment
to the state. therefore, Is obvious, ana We are
proud Of it."
