The Newport miner. [volume] (Newport, Wash.) 1899-current, 1908-06-04
Burned 1t Into Memory,

One of the most Enthusiastically
eccentric things eyer done by Gelett
Burgess (and one of the few true sto-
ries OF him) was to spend three or four
days in constructing Of cardboard.
mica and green velvet a little model
of an old New England house, COM
plete as to windows. curtains, lawn,
garden, trees and even including a
hammock with tiny hat and summer
novel and washing stretched out OH a
clothesliDe On the back stoop. This
was for a dinner given to several lit
erary friends in New York, and when
the coffee was served he deliberately
set fire to the whole farm. His ex-
PLANTATION was that had it been spared
his guests might have forgotten the
affair. but they would always remem-
Der the destruction Of the house. No
one who ever saw the little house go
up in smoke on it, little hill of damp
moss will ever forget it.
