How She Entered Journalism.

Mrs. Margaret L. sullivan Is one oil the pest
editorial writers In the country, and strangely
enough it was in this very capacity, so seldom
filled by woman, that she did her first news
paper work. She was a sixteen-year-old
school girl when some subject in which, as 1t
happened, she was particularly interested and
about which she was very well informed came
up for discussion in the newspapers. She
read the editorials which were written about
it, but realized that they did not 60 to the
root of the matter, and after a few days wrote
her own views on the subject and sent the
article to the Chicago Tribune. She did not
sign her full name.
1t was promptly printed and request sent
her for another article on the same subject.
She sent one, and 1t came out with the same
flattedng promptness. Then a note was sent
asking her 10 come to the Tribune office. She
went, a school girl, in short skirts and with
her hair down her back, and tine grave and
reverend seigniors of the big paper were
astonished when they saw her.
After they had got their breath they said ii
must be a mistake. They wanted to see the
man who had written those editorials. The
young girl assured them that she had written
them. Then the learned gentlemen limited
that it was worse than mistake. That there
was, er-well, they did not accuse her out
right Of lying, but they unmistakably looked
their doubt.
The girl from school then said she would
be glad to accommodate them by sitting down
and writing few editorials while they
watched the wheels go round. She Was taken
at her word, and for several days wrote bril-
liant editorials under lock and key, as it were,
in the Tribune office. Finally the doubling
Thomases reluctantly admitted that the
school girl was brilliant prodigy and not a
clever fraud, and from that time until few
years ago Mrs Sullivan was one Of the lead
ing writers on the paper. She finally severed
her connection with the Tribune to occupy an
equally high place on the stat of the Chicago
Herald.-New York Sun.

R. G. Beveridge, q well known local ams-
teur photographer, has secured snapshot
picture of rattlesnake biting a man. and
thinks that the picture is the only one OF
the kindin existence. 1t is hardly necessary
to state that 1t was obtained by accident.
Dr.. J. C. Reynolds, formerly Of this city,

In this vicinity assisting Rattlesnake Pete
Gruber catch snakes for the latter's museum,

Pittsburg he determined to take series OF
photographs. The box of twenty-five snakes
already captured, together with the photo
graph outfit, was taken to ledge OF rocks
near Siverlyville by DR.. Reynolds, Pete, and
Beveridge. The snakes were photographed
in different postures, and US climax 1t was
decided to illustrate how the biggest snake OF
the lot was captured.
1t was placed on the top OF huge mass OF
rock, and the doctor posed, as If he had Just
caught sight OF the reptile and was motioning
to Pete, who was climbing up the face OF the
rock. In his nnxiety to get good pose. DR..
Reynolds failed to notice that while he was get
ting into position the snake had worked its way
to the edge of the rock. When Pete put his hand
over the edge to steady himself. the snake,
over five feet long, struck savagely at the
moving finger. Its teeth grazed the ball OF
the thumb, cut the skin, but did not draw
blood. and quantity OF venom spread itself
over the thumb, but was washed of with the
contents OF bottle Of ammonia and did not
do any damage.
The photographer was so startled by the
snake striking that he convulsively squeezed
the bulb connected with the shutter of iis
camera. and secured what Is probably the
most unique photograph in the state.

Among the curious problems we have been
trying TO solve is the uncertainty oil the postal
service in the locality Of Eighteenth and
L streets northwest. With very few excep-
tions. we never receive our mail until 10
o'clock in the morning. The letter carrier
seems to enjoy great leisure. while business
people who go down town or to office never
get their mail until evening, when they re-
turn. A post Office official who was inter-
viewed on this subject said he supposed this
locality was the end OF the route" Now. as

cases, will some one explain why for years
we must suffer this annoyance, and some
times serious loss. by late mail delivery? Ger

young men OF the Hibernian colony had once
ventured to attend n dance held at the only
hall in Yagers Creek. This hail was over
Ritzingers saloon. and fairly good sized
place. There was small orchestra In the
town and with good music and dancing and
copious Ebations of beer the Germans gen.
orally managed to extract great deal of
amusement from the dances at Ritznger's
hall. No admission fee was charged, the
owner Of the hall relying on the bar receipts
to reimburse him for the expenses.
"Beer always flowed like water, and II was
rarely that the evening passed OF without
one or more fights to enliven the proceedings.
The three 1rishmen were quiet and orderly
enough, but prodigious row ensued. How
1t started no one knows. but the three repre-
sentatives OF Erin were thrown out into the
street after having been pommeled and
bruised and kicked until they were half killed.
From that time on it was an understood thing
that no Irish need apply at the dances in Rit-
fingers hall. No objection was made 10 the
presence of three or four American farmers
who resided in the vicinity, for they mostly
spoke German. Among these latter was one
named Randolph. He was man of consd-
erabje property, and his family comprised
five strapping sons and four good-looking
daughters. Que OF these captured the heart
of Markley the very first time she purchased
a ticket of him at the station. She had reia-
tives in the next town east and paid them oc-
caSlOEal visits. Ii WaSn long before Bill
struck up an acquaintance with her. and after
that Miss Randolph seemed to travel back
and forth great deal oftener than was really
necessary. Once she reached the station lust
rs the train was leaving. and there was moth
ing to be done but turn around and 90 home.
1t was just about dusk, and Of course Markley
was too gallant to permit her to walk SO far
in the dark all alone. He accompanied her
home, and was introduced to the family. He
made good impression apparently, for he
was invited to call the following Sunday and
take dinner.
''It is needless to say ho did so. and there
after Bill was regular caller at the Ran
dolph farmhouse. When Winter came ON the
farmer and his five sons went away to the
pineries ard two or three OF the girls to board
ing school. But the one upon whom Bill had
centered his affections remained at home, and
by this time 1t was generally understood that
when Spring came on they were to be mar
ried. But although Louise was very fond OF
Bill and quite willing to marry him. she was
very fond OF dancing, and the only place
where she could indulge in that fascinating
amusement WINS the weekly dances at Rit-
fingers hall. Now, Bill had never attended
any OF these dances, although often tempted
to do SO. He was no coward, but the fate OF
tho three Irishnen who had been SO badly
trented there and the ndyice given him by two
OF the small storekeepers OF the town had
deferred him. He knew no was no match for
10 or 100 lusty young Germans, and that they
would attack hin, if he yentured within the
hall was tolerably certain. But when Christ-

his hip pocket for his revolver. 1t was his
last resort. He succeeded in pulling the
weapon from his pocket and was in the act of
leveling il at tie head of his adversaries when
Wertling, who had sneaked behind the bar
aimed murderous blow at Marilley with the
butt end of billiard cue Had it landed fair
on the unfortunate Irishman's head his career
would have ended right then and there. But
it struck him giancing blow. landing Just
above the ear and seraped of most ofthe hide
as far Us the shoulder.
"Tho collar bone was broken, and Bill fell
to the floor like a log. The insuriated Ger
mans would undoubtedly have kicked him TO
death. and did succeed in breaking two of his
ribs, but Just then Ritzinger. who had been
hastily summoned from his house near by.
entered. He was man OF gigantic physique
and undoubted prowess. and he succeeded in
driving WeTtiing and his crowd from the spot
where lay their fallen victim, bleeding and
unconscious. Louise forced her way 10 him
and endeavored to stanch the blood with her
handkerchief. The other girls fiocked SYM
pathetically around, albeit some of them
nearly tainted at the CORY sight. They finally
succeeded in binding up the wounds and
partially stopping the blood. Louise was in
a dilemma. There was no physician in the
little town and none nearer than Waterford,
the next station east.
There was no way to summon him except
by telegraph, and the only man in Yayer's
Creek who knew how to transmit this mes
sage was Markley. There was n train duo
from Waterford in about two hours, but how
was she to get word to the doctor9 While
she was revolving that question in her mind
Bill showed signs of returning consciousness.
Restoratives had been applied. and in few
moments he opened his eyes. The fearful
blow he had received, tae broken shoulder
and ribs, the deep cuts in his hands from tho
bottles ne had welded to such good purpose,
and the vast quantity OF blood he had lost,
convinced Louise that no time was to be lost
if his life was to be saved. brilliant idea
entered her mind.
"tBill,' she said, eagerly, if We carry you
to The office can you manage to telegraph to
Waterford for a doctor, providing we hold
you so you can reach the instrumentsl'
"'Ill try whispered Bill, weakly.
"Ritzinger was appealed to, and summon
ing the barkeeper Markley was placed on n
stretcher hastily improvised from the cellar
door and carried to the station. three blocks
away. He had tainted again, but the cold
aie revived him. They placed the edge Of
the door on the telegraph table and carefully
lifted his mutilated hand, all covered with
bloody bandages. placing it so that the only
uncut finger rested on the key. 1t was the
train dispatcher's wire, but just then it hap
pened to be quiet. 'Wd' no called once,
twice. thrice, and then followed his own sig
nal, 'Ya.' There was no response. Again he
called, and this time came the reply, IL Wd.'

"'An right; I'll do it. sure. How did it
happen?'
.''Can't explain-too weak licked Bill.
and then he whispered TO Louise, it's all
right But he wasn't done telegraphing yet.
After moments rest he called up Albemarle,
the division station ten miles west.
"'Do you know where Foley Isl? he queried.
"'Yes. he's right here in the Office" was the
reply. Bill was so weak by this time that he
could scarcely depress the lever with his poor.
injured hand.
"'Tell him to bring-some Of the boys-and
do up these Dutchmen; they-hsve an-but
Iii Bill had tainted dead away.
"Foley was Markleys particular chum. He
was a conductor running the way freight and
a man OF tremendous physical strength.
Foley was q man of action. When the opera
tor at Albemarle turned excitedly to Foley
and informed him that 'Markley, the agent at
Yager's, has been nearly killed by lot Of
those measly Dutchmen down therein fast,
l guess he is killed, for he wasn't able to fin
ish telling me of it. He asks for you to come
down there and do them up Foley didn't
lose any time. He yanked big silver watch
out OF his pocket~and studied lis dial mo-
mcnt while he mentally ran over the time
card. No, the track WAS clear; there was
nothing due either way before No. 8 and
there was still an hour before that train was
due at Yager's Creek. Foley dashed out into
at work making up a train.
Boys he yelled, 'Markley has been
killed, or pretty near it, by lot OF those
damned critters at Iager's. I know there
must have been at least twenty OF 'em, be-
en- lse he can lick dozen himself. Unhook
that engine and let's go down there!'
SIT was done, Parsons, the night yard
master, was something OF a scr.pper himself,
and the engineer was an IriShmRn, too.
They didn't ask for running orders. A mo-
ments stop was male at the roundhouse and
dozen more men picked up-flremen. coal
beavers and some 'brakesy boys All told
there were nineteen of them, and they were
going to the rescue Of one of the most popu-
lar men on the road.
"'Hang on there shouted the man at the
throttle to those perched precariously on the
tender, we're goin' to git right out of this
town. There was u vigorous yank at the
lever and the engine fairly jumped forward.
''He pulled her tail clear out, sald Foley,
afterward. in recounting the incident, 'and
the way that old scrap heap lit out OF there
was a caution. Bein' built for switcher'
she had small wheels and like to shook the
life out of US. 1t was all we wanted to do to
hang on. if anybody should ask you.'
In spite OF the fact that the engine wasn't
built for speed, however, It was Just twelve
minutes from the time they lifted poor Bill
down from the table aud laid him tenderiy on
the couch that the anxious Louise, peerinz
down the track, saw the flash of headlight
around the hill mile and a half away. And
the speed at which that crazy switch engine
sailed down the hill and up to the station was
enough to frighten the girl to death II she
hadn't been 80 glad to sec It come. Foley
