LTH-OUGllI Joaquin Miller,
"the poet of the Sierras," so
far recovered from a recent
illness which threatened to
prove fatal that he was able
to return with his wife and daughter
to his home on the heights overlook
Ing Oakland and San Francisco bay,
yet his friends entertain little hope
that he will ever be fully restored to
health. He is now in his seventieth
year. Previous to his last illness he
had been separated from his wife for
thirty years, but the danger of his
death happily reunited them, and now
the aged poet is spending the re
mainder of his days amid his well be
loved hills, on the spot where he has
createdi a characteristic home, called
The Heights. Il[s massive frame has
Weakened, his once keen eyes are
dim, his flowing hair and beard are
white, and the physicians who have
climbed the wooded hills to minister
to him declare there is little if any
hope-that it is merely a matter of
a few weeks when Joaquin Miller will
have been gathered to his fathers.
Ills ashes, according to his wish, will
be scattered to the winds from the
pyre in the hills back of The Heights,
which marks the last resting place of
his daughter, Maud, who died several
years ago. The reunion with his wife
may prolong his days, and the care
that his other daughter, Juanita, be
stows upon him may build up his with
ered strength a little, but there is
hardly more than a shell for them to
nurse.

California and the west than Jbaquin

green hills, from the ruddy sunsets,
from the blue Pacific wvater-s, from the
fog banks that roll in with the night
fall, from the vista of land and sea as
seen from his cyr-ic on 'The I [eights,
from the Glolden Gate and the shadowy
ships5 that sail through it inito the rim
of the horizon and are lost in the
vapor's pail.

clothing and wide hi limmed sombrero,
with his curly hair flowing from he
neath its br1im.
i~ven to this day,- or perhaps it
should be saidl up to the time of his
illness, Joaquin Mlillier retained his
grace and commanding aspect, lie
has liv'ed munch out of doors andl has
been brow~ned by suns. With his own
hands he has planted the hutndlred(s of
trees that surround the little collec
tion of houses, the chapel and the
funeral pyr'e, which constitute The
