The Overland Monthly makes some inter-

writers, and authors of the day. Joaquin
Miller's hand writing is said to be the very
worst; ''his lines resemble dilapidated hedge
fences" Bret Harte prefers violet ink; she
writes a legible, uniform hand, is a
slow producer upon unruled note paper, and
seldom leaves page without some eras ure
