ONE WOMAN JOURNALISE
S U CGESsi.
Dropping in at a books'ore the
other day, I met Uertru e Garri
son, the literary editor of the
American Press /lesuciut on. Like
Erla W heeler Wilcox and Annie
W olf (Em’ly), Mrs. (/airtson is a
-b onds and very handsome. She
is above the medium height, with
i lcong symmetrical feature-, large,
1 miiful blue eyes an l golden
lit, r. While she is a successful
journalist, something very few
w,-men ucceed in being, she has
r eentiy made an especial hit in
s ries. John Boyle Oli illy pro
nounMd her Christmas sory,
,uich has been going tin rounds
of the press recently, equal io any
American classic Her "Prince of
1 uveriy” is strikingly new and
0 'iginai in style, and the poet, Elia
H'heeler Wncox, said t-iai i(
would draw tears from a Spartan,
lb is certainly very stro g, full of
pathos and long weeps
Virs. Garrison is, too, a brilliant
c vemitionulist, as enter uiuiug
a she is original. It is said that
she handles a blue pencil with
scientific dex erity, and has no
roy on bad copy. Iu tact, she is
coed a martinet, and will accept
i,o copy unless it cun pus-, muster
i grammar, composiaon und
rhetoric. I acked bei how she
managed to wade through so
or cop,.
tlm practice bad taught her rap
idity “1 can tell in a few foil s

THE ROADRUNNER.
A veiv 8' ugu araud yet a very
tie known ml is the roadruunei
liiiparrwl o >ck, or, a 8 it in kaown
n Mexico and the Spanish secti. ns
of the United S ates, the paistho.
I( belotiS- to *be cuckoo family
Imt has non - of he bad habits by
which the Eu l opean cuccoo in
be*t know. It is a shy bird, but
1 not by any means an unfamiliar
(i! juct in /be southwestern per
turns of th« United S'.A'es aud in
M xico. Sciuotiines it wanders,
up into middle California but no/
lien, seeming to prefer /he more
d -erted. hotter and san lier partß
of southern Oelifornia, and from
nere stretching i/s haiiitat as far
ist as middle Texas. It is not
by any means a briliantly colored
bird, although some of its hues are
Very beautiful.
Casin men a ions a most remark
aide circumstance among the pe
culiarities of the bird. It seems
to have a mostal hatred of rattle
snakes, and no sooner sees one of j
those reptiles than it sets about in j
what, to the snake, might well !
s em a most diabolical way of com
passing its death. Finding the
snake asleep, it at once seeks out
the spinies of the small cacti, the
prickly pear, and, with in inline
pains an<l quietness, carries the
leaves, which it breakes off, and
puts them in a circle around the
slumbering snake. When it has
made a sufficient wall about the
snake, it rouses its victim with a
sudden peck of its sharp beak, and
then quickly retires to let the snake
workout its own destruction. Any
one watching it would say it was
expressing the liveliest emotion
with its constantly moving tail.
The snake quickly realizes that
it is hemmed in, in a circle, and
finally makes a rash attempt to
glide over the obstruction. The
angry snake, with small wisdom,
attempts to retaliate by fastening
its fangs into the offending cactus.
The spines till its mouth.
Angrier still, it again and again
! assaults the prickly wall, until,
, quite beside itself with rage, it
i seems to lose its wits completely,
I and, writhing and twisting, buries
its fangs into its own body, dying
j finally from its self inflicted wounds.
! After the catastrophe, the bird in
■ dttlges in a few gratified flirts of its
| long tail and goes off, perchance to
, audits reward in being run down
by hounds set on by men.

A CHILD AND THE SNOW
FLAKES.
One day as she stood at the
wiudow wrtchuig the busy street
and wondering why she alone of
ail ahildren wac crippled and thin
and weak, a snowflake came fall
i ing dowD through the December
sky, paused a moment at the win
dow and then crept in at a broken
pane and rested ou her wasted
hand. The child smiled and was
glad and said:
■‘Did you pity me 'hat you came
to see met"
"I nave only pity for the poor
and helpless,’’ reniiedthe snow
! fluke.
“Where are your companions?”
“They will be here. / had a
j ruce with them und I leached earth
| first,”
j “it was so good of you to come
|in and see me,” whispered the
child. “Do you know that lam
lame and ill, and that no one loves
met 111 the sunshine and happi*
ness seems for others—all tUe
suli nug ana the shadows for me.
Iwibhihud been a snow-flake
it must he so jolly to go roving
ub -uk as— r
I lie snowflake had disappeared.
UL)d in its place was a tiny drop ot
wa(ei. The child was grieved, and
she wop. t at ner poor ray ot
sunshine had been dimmed at
most as it reached her. But oth
ei lLkes came ana danced before
the window and made merry and
- u lt d to her
“Tome and be merry with us!
A cudU should not weep and
grieve.”
“But I have no trieuds 1” bhe an
-» .-» A.. y;'*
“Then ihe suowßiaes Will KT-KJ
your friends .Almost every day
wo wilt come to (aik witn you.”
“Do you know of Heaven(?'
wnispered tne c'uiia as she drieu
her -ears.
“di is a long, foug wa off,” was
no reply.
“ Ifouid i hey let u Ci’ippied gi J
tike me in there f” *
“As sureiy as you reach the
gates ot peurn He.-ven .8 foi sucti
ub you.
“When may I go? Eirth has
uly misery for me.”
“.V nun tne (une is come we win
wnisper at your window. The
ingot is coming on and we mus 1
go, Be of good cueer for we wni
surely come again.’
And the days went, on and on,
and lus nights cinio and went.uud
lie child grieved and wept because
die snowflakes did not come to tell
her - Millions of them floated in
•.ho t ir, and the wind drovs them
in millions up and down the streets,
bu/ never a one came tc« the bro
ken pane. One lay, when the
child’s great blue eyes had scarce*
/y been free of tears—when her
heart ached as never before, when
there was a fierce struggle to cast
off he emaciated, deformed body
as one might throw away a gar
ment— on this day as the bleak
winter afternoon was fading to
dus;, there was a tapping at the
window pane. The child heard
tLe sounds with beating heart and
is she dragged herself to the wins
low she cried ou in exultation;
“Oh ! it is the snowflakes come
again. You are here to tell me of
Heaven V'
“And God will take me?”
“He has sent for you I ’
“Wait, wait I I will go with
vou!”
But the snowflakes whisper ;
“Guild, you must sleep first, Heav
en ik a long way off. We will
a aken you when n is lime,”
The child lay down on her bed
of tags and slept- At midnight
the snowflakes crept in and rested
on her hair—ou her ragged gown
—ou her thin hands, and some of
the boldest touched her face.
“Couie 1 11 is time 1” they whis

She di i not move.
"Child! we are here to guide
you on your path to Heaven i”

There was no answer, but a
bright star suddenly threw his
light in at the window and over
tne bed of rags, and the snowflakes
gather and whisdored:
“Sue ia dead! While we linger

gel has come and here her away 1"
