For one thing, Mr.. Muir will not be
lionized, or feted as Mrs. Wilcox was,
for instance.
Some years ago Mr.. Muir proposed
my name in a club of which he is the
president, and in letters covering a
period of years he has told me of his

(Oct Is, 1901, he speaks of eyes never
being turned upon a more beautiful
region" than Hawaii.
In his last letter he tells of his dis
appointment in not being able to stay
in Hawaii instead of passing through,
as he was obliged to do some months
ago in a trip of exploration in the ORR

adds, "by and by, and when do we
