JOAQUIN MILLER,s WRITING.
Story About the Author Whose New Story
VIII Soon Appear in The Dispatch.


VIII Soon Appear in The Dispatch.
Joaquin Miller's handwriting is said to be
most bewildering. A stereotyper who has
made the plates for several of Mr.. Miller's
books told me the other day that, we'll
schooled as he was in the enormities of cali
graphy. Mr.. Miller's was beyond his powers.
On one occasion he went to interview Mr..
Miller about certain word which he was
unable to decipher. The author looked at
it very attentively, first In one way, then in
another. Finally he remarked, "Well, my
dear sir. I'll be hanged if know myself
what meant. II you will take seat for
few minutes, I'll substitute something more
Ineligible" And he did.
Joaquin Miller's new story, to be pub
lished exclusively in THE DISPATCH next
month, has been read in the cold type BY the
author and approved by him.

Harriet Beecher Stowe.

No book or play written in our century
has ever been read or acted so many times
as "Uncle Toms Cabin" and no one has
ever occupied more honored place in
American literature than its authoress, Har-

lowing Christmas verse:
Hail, blessed Christmas morn

Margaret Deland.

Few writers have ever been brought into
such marked prominence or have won such
great and widespread reputation by a single
book as has that now well-known writer oi
prose and verse, Mrs. Margaret Deland, oi
Boston, by her novel, John Ward, Preach
er." Her contribution to this Christina:
symposium is as follows:
Against the hollow sky. the earth,
Folded in starry darkness clear.
Chimes like bell Emanuel's birth,
And heavens great angels stoop to hear.
The frosty air is strangely still;
The world is waiting for the light
That long ago, on Eastern hill.
Broke on the shepherds dazzled sight.

Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

Admirers of the authoress of "Poems of
Passion" and Poems of Pleasure" will be
glad to learn from the appended letter that
she is happy.
My merriest Christmas3 Well, think each
Christmas of my life is better than the last.
Memories of all bygone days in which we have
been happy are very pleasant, but those of
Christmas are especially sweet. l have now

life is such blessed one, that 1 feel each of my
coming Christmases will be still brighter and
better than any of its predecessors.

This sweet singer of New England, who

and helpful, sends Christmas greetings in
both prose and verse:

Marion Harland.

This favorite writer, whose first novel,
"Alone," appeared when she was only 1S
years of age, and who has followed up that
first success with host of other equally
charming stories of American life which,
according to the testimony of the book
sellers, seem to steadily increase in popular
favor as the years roll by, sends the follow
ing beautifully expressed Christmas
thoughts:
Of our queen mother, Nature, 1t may be
truly said that as custom cannot stale her in
finite variety neither can ingratitude chill her
infinite kindness. Each springtime is a resur-
rection; each fruit season brings the thrill of q
pleasant surprise; each Christmas-tide stirs our
souls as if the birthday of birthdays-the red
heart all a-throb with living fire, set in the mid
breast of white winter-were now celebrated
for the first time.
still, as when the morning stars chanted the
completion of the young earth, all things leave
the Fathers hand fair and new.

Howells, who prides himself on writing
plotless stories, which are intended to be
simple chronicles of experiences and events
as they occur in life, is probably one of the
best known and best liked among the more
cultivated class OF American readers of fc-
tion. His contribution to this Christmas
symposium-brief as woman's love-is ap-
pended:
The merriest Christmas ever had is the first
