80 INCINNATUS HEINE MILLER
III he was christened, and nobody
w. can blame him for changing it
to Joaquin. That was not
only more poeticaI, but was better
fit Cincinnatus Heine would naturally
belong to a conventional person, prop
erly barbered, clothed in the mode and
in his right mind, while Joaquin would
not be so circumspect. Neither was
Miller. There have been unconven-
tional poets before and doubtless will
be again, but never one so unconven-
tional as Joaquin Miller.
Miller was born in November lS41,
tn prairie schooner headed west. He
remained headed west until he arrived
in Oregon at about the age of twelve,
his parents accompanying him. His
father, whom he called papa" even
after both had long whiskers, was a
Quaker who taught school occasion
ally and pioneered all the time. The
poets mother lived with him until a
few years ago, Joaquin building a cot
tage for her adjoining his own, where
she remained until her death.
After arriving in Oregon the lad
soon caught the gold fever and went
to California, but got more poetry than
gold OUT of the trip. About this time
he becasale the comrade of an Indian
and later participated in several In
dian fights. He also made copy" out
of the career of a desperado, Joaquin
Murietta, which some people who did
not like desperadoes resented. At some
time in his early life Miller had stud
led law and when he returned to Ore
gon was made a Judge.
How joaquin" Originated.
While on the bench he published a
Oook of verse entitled Joaquin ct AL"
which gained the praise of the Over
land, but was numerically guyed by
the lawyers, They dubbed Judge Mil
ier joaquin" and he took the name
as his own, seizing the opportunity to
get rid of the mellifiuous but rather
too elaborate Cincinnatus Heine
There are no present records as to
just how good or bad a judge Miller
made, but at any rate the writing bug
got the better of him, and he abandon
ed the woolsack. Bret Harte took him
up. and not many years later the two
of them drifted to London. Owing
perhaps to his more picturesque make
up. Miller made an impression on the
BritOns sooner than Harte. He first
published a thin book of verse called
Specimens" and. these being APPROX
ed by the reigning literary faction
known as the "pre-Raphaelites," he
followed up the samples by regular
consignment. this being called "Songs
of the Sierras."
Joaquin Miller was not as famous in
London as Byron, perhaps, but for
some moons was literary lion, lead
ing duchesses out to dinner and being
the fad of the hour His getup had
not a little to do with his vogue. He
wore high topped boots with the trou-
sers stuffed in the tops. His coat was
the unbuttoned Prince Albert, now
made famous by the governor of Okla
homa as the "jimswinger." A flaming
red shirt heightened the poets sar-
tOrial effect as an exotic.
He was a tall and striking looking

Returned to America.

Returned TO America.
After his return from England Mil
Ter lived for a time in log cabin in
the hills near Washington. He then
shaved all his beard except a flowing
mustache and imperial, and his hair
was also cropped to an approximate
shortness. While there some Wash
ington ladies called on him to write
poem about a new statue that was
about to be unveiled. Miller refused
to write the poem, holding that most
of our horseback statues are mon
stroSities that sin against art and that
represent little of the noble or heroic.
Instead he wrote a poem that was not
read at this unveiling, but has been
perused by several million people
since The first stanza ran:
The bravest battle that ever was fought
Shall / tell you where and when?
On the maps of the world you will find 1t
not.
1t was fought by the mothers of men.
The last home of Joaquin Miller is
on a wild and picturesque mountain
overlooking the Golden Gate. 1t is
about two miles back and one mile
up from Oakland. Here the poet
planted trees in the form of q cross
now visible from all the country round,
about. He made his mountain estate
of a hundred acres. originally a wild
and barren spot, place of trees and
flowers. Here he erected three cabins
one for himself, one for his mother
and one for his Japanese attendants.
On the very top of the mountain he
built himself funeral pyre where his
body was to be cremated.
One of the chief reasons for making
his nest in the mountains was that he
might be alone. Sightseers, not re-
specting this motive, flocked to the
place in droves. running over his flow
ers, scattering lunch baskets and their
remains about the place and pokiDg
the poet out wherever they could find
him. 1t was his habit to do his writ
ing in bed in the forenoons, and the
industrious tourists would even break
in upon him while in the middle of an
inspiration. There is nothing like be-
ing popular. especially when one tries
to run away from his admirers.
Columbus" Highly Praised
One of the most famous of Joaquin
Miller's poems is his Columbus"
which the London Athaeneum once
pronounced the best American poem
1t begins:
Behind him lay the gray Azores,
Behind the gates of Hercules,
Before him not the ghost of shores,
Before him only shoreless seas.
The good mate said: "Now must we pray,
| For, 10, the very stars are gone.
Brave admiral, speak. What shall say?"
"Why, say, Sail on, sail on and onr"
Even better known are his lines
which he afterward said were written
| by the grave of Burns:
In men whom men condemn as Ill
l find so much of goodness still,
In men whom men pronounce divine
/ find so much of sin and plot,
hesitate to draw a line
Between the two where God has not.
