JOAQUIN MIXERS NEW HOME.
Poet of the Sierras on the Way East
To Publish His New Book,
Portland Oregonian.

Attired in the same style Of dress
that has accompanied his fame
throughout the country, and with his
fatherly manners that have made him
q favorite with everybody, Joaquin
Miller, the venerable poet and prose
writer of Oregon and California
arrived in Portland Friday evening
Ell route to the East, where he will
publish his latest book, "For All Is
Love; in All, Lovc.'
Some time ago the poet purchased
q tract Of land near SiauSlaw, where,
in the future he intends to make his
residence and build another house
which he can call home.
81 will spend my summers on my
Oregon farm" he said. 'and my win
ters at my place in California near
Fruitvalc. My latest purchase is a
beautiful place. and has enchanting
surroundings. I shall spend my days
fishing and hunting and riding over
the mountains which lead to the sea
hcyond.'
Mr.. Miller says he is feeling better
than he ever did in his life in spite Of
his 81 years.
81 feel SO good at timcs' he con-
tinurd, "tlat | am tempted TO fight
the first big, Strapping fellow I meet,
just to amusc the crowd and myself
as WE'LL
81 love to look back to the days of
old, during the COS when 7 was
county judge in Eastern Oregon by
daylight and fought Indians at
night,' he declared. "Timcs were
different in those days. We did not
have the modern implements of war,
nor the libraries to study law that
the present age has prod iced. About
all I possessed then was an old law
book and two Six-shootcrs. That was
down near Canon City.

he said, when questioned about
whether he had undertaken any new
books. Then he related how he writes,
how he has written, and how he will
always write.

| cant help but writc,' the gray
haired. whitc-whiskcrcd poet said.
81 am an early riser and invariably

write with my clothes on. The work
is done uSt as | arise from my bed,
take my coffee first and follow it
with a cigar. Then I sit down and
write for an hour or so, or just as I
feel like it. Some days I will write
something every day for week.
Then, perhaps, the morning will leave
me and | will not touch the pen for
a day or two or continue to write
every other day, and so ON.
Mr.. Miller still uses the old-stylc
quill pen.
The plates of all of Joaquin Mil
ler's works, with the exception of
"Memories in Rhine" were Destroy
ed in the San Francisco fire. They
were nll in readiness to go to press,
and were total loss. The book which
was to have contained all of the au-
thor's writings, would have covered
GOO pages.
Mr.. Miller considers "For Love
Is All; In All Lovc,' one Of his best
works. The "City Bcautiful,".

DRUMMER's CONSCIENCE.
It Was a Trifle Slow in Getting

No Use for II.

Il know that conscience doesn't be-

the dry goods drummer, but l was
born with one and can't get rid of it."
For instance?" was asked.
"Well, for instance, was making
flying trip through Illinois ten years
ago, and in a certain town I asked
man to change a $40 bill for me. He
complied. and l stood there and saw
him count me out $11 and was mean
enough not to say anything. However,
when got away my conscience began
to upbraid me. I meant to make things
right the first time went back, but it
so happened that did not strike the
town again until last week. All this
time still, small voice was accusing
me-"
But you made 1t right last week?"
II found the man and stated the cir.
cumstance and said that desired to
make restitution, but he laughed and
replied:
Eyes, remember, my dear man; but
I folded two of the one-dollar bills
over SO that you counted them twice.
I really gave you only nine dollars.
My conscience has also accused me.

Gall that except when we got to q
saloon he ordered water!"

ACCIDENTS AND FATIGUE.
Number of Casualties Greater in the
Forenoon Than After Mid
Day Rest.

1t was shown by an exhaustive in
quiry of the subject in France. says
Casters Magazine, that the number Of
ascldents increases progressively hour
by hour during the first half day; that
after the rest at midday the number of
accidents is notably less than in the
last hour of the forenoon; that in the
course of the second half day accidents
again become. from hour to hour, pro-
excessively more numerous, and that
the maximum number of accidents to-
ward the end of the second half day Is
notably higher than the corresponding
maximum in the morning. The infiu-
ence of the workmen's fatigue on the
production of accidents stands out
clearly from these observations, and it
ia easy to understand how this comes
about when it is remembered that with
fatigue the attention readily dimin-
ishes and disappears. The conclusion.
therefore, is that in order to produce
a diminution in the number of acct
deats it would be sufficient to interca-
late in the middle of each half day of
work q period of repose, naturally not
% long as that at midday, but the
length Of which remains to be deter
mined. In fact, one would only have
to apply to the manual labor of adults
the measures which for a long time
have been put into practice for chill
dren ss regards their intellectual labor.
