Wash., will be of interest to all bcok-lovers: For the first time in the annals of literature a blanket Indian squaw and a white woman of culture have col laborated in the production of a book And a daintily beautiful book it is, called "The Maid of Pend d’Oreile,” daintily bound In birch bark. The au- rl.or of the charming little Indian ;em is Miss Lucy Byrd Mock of :;yGtteville, Ark., who haB been iciiding the past year in the north- ,vf'st and v.ho has become imbued -.vith the spirit of the “glad, wild west.” While she was writing the poem the Indian woman were gather ing the bark, with which the books are tied. Most of this work was done bv the Indian girls of Neah Bay, on Cape P^lattery. the westermost por tion of the'United States proper. The cover of the book is ornamented with an ideal head of an Indian maiden and the pf)em tells the story of an Indian jjrincess. who lived on the banks of Pend d’Oreille and who threw her self into the water when deserted by her fickle lover, a Hudson Bay tra der. ^ Miss Mock, who writes under tne name “LeMocQUCur,” has adopted the meter and form of Kiiding’s Mande- lay and has put between the pretty birch bark covers with their Indian ornamentation a beautifully written and illustrated poem which Is really what Its author declares, “a breath o’ the west.” It brings to us the spirit of the great mountain, silent except for the music of the cascade which pours down its steep sides, the tall trees which seem to meet, and kiss the skies in gladness and the Great Spirit which Is upon the water. Amid such "subtle charm and mystic gran deur” the author lets us follow the littlo Mold until the mirrored Pend d’Oreille hides her sorrow and cheats a mournful cadence in her memory.

Though In the number of stops this organ is slightly smaller than a few other instruments, in point of completeness, however, both as re gards tone, color and volume. It will have no superior. Four years were spent in Its con struction, and this “great work of art,” as the builder calls it, will cost $70,000. It is built in two di visions, placed on either side of the chancel or choir of the Cathe dral, and 50 feet above the main floor. The southern division of the Instrument Is operated by a 15 horsepower electric motor, and a 7 1-2 horsepower motor is used for the northern division. Each divis ion occupies the space of a good sized house, and each is packed with ranks upon ranks of pipes. The largest of these is ag reat wood en conduit 32 feet long, the sound of w’hich* more closely resembles a gusty rumble than a musical tone. The smallest is a thin reed of tin, not even as large as a lead pencil. Its sound is similar to the shrill singing of a teakettle. Between these two extremes there are al most 7,000 other tones. The console, which corresponds to the keyboard of a piano is behind the tops of the choir stalls on the south side and is reached by a spiral iron stairway Inside the organ case. Carved on the back of the console is this Inscription: “This organ is given for the praise of the Blessed Trinity and in loving memory of Lena Kearny Morton, 1895-1904, by her parents. Levi and Anna Morton.” Miles Farrow, a former Baltimo rean to whom has fallen the prize of the coveted position of organist of the Cathedral, is well known here, having played In Madison Ave nue Synagogue, in Christ church and in St. Paul’s. One cannot wonder at Mr. Farrow’s enthusiasm over the great instrument he is to play. When he shows his visitor the console, with its mahogany case, its four nSanuals or keyboards, its rows of ivory reg ister knobs (109 of them In all,) its 101 speaking stops, its 31 couplers and its 33 pistons, he betrays his eagerness to have all that wonder ful, complex mechanism turned over to him. He would like to give a series of recitals in February and March, but it is understood that the Cathedral will not be formally used until next Easter. “Generally debilitated for years.

Dell Withers; Oak Ridge, by Mr. Frank Yandle; Bellbuckle by Mr. Clyde Fore, other short addresses were made by Mr. C. C. Robinson and Mr. Henry B. Bennoit. Not a' small part of the success ot the meeting was due to the excellent musical program, which consisted of a selection by a quartet (Misses Mc- Ninch and Pickard and Mess-rs. Auten and Withers; solo by Mr. eHath Crow ell and selections by a six-piece orches tra. Much ci’edit is due the committee who had charge of the meeting for the effiicent way they carried out their plans. Senator Lodge to Speak. By Associated Press.
