A Woman's Lonely Ride.

Miss Sarah M. Burks is probably the
only woman mail-carrier in the West,
and her route is one of the most DESC
lato conceivable. From st. Johns to
Jimtown, A. T., she travels twice a
week, covering a distance Of 20S miles,
as the towns are fifty-two miles apart.
The intervening country is practically
a wilderness, the settlers being few and
far between.
1t would be difficult to imagine a
more uninviting region than that ira
versed by Miss Burks. What tiny
streams are found there are poisoned
with alkali. Navajo Indians and occa-
sionally an Apache are somewhat
plentiful, but white men seldom go
there, and then only to get the gold,
silver and copper. Nothing in the way
of vegetation can grow there. 1t is
simply region of rich minerals depos-
tied in titanic volcanic action ages ago.
Along the western border of this des-
olate, uncanny wilderness Miss Burks
rides twice a week. Generally she is
alone, and if she has a companion he
is likely to be a miner, a commercial
traveller, or, mayhap, a lawyer, who
has rented a house from Miss Burke's
father, and she is to collect payment
and see to the care of the horse. She
is always armed with shooting irons,
and when child she was the crack
shot OF the mining camp at Harqua

CITY STREETS AND COUNTRY ROADS.

The green road, the clean road; it is so
broad and high;
1t stretches from the happy sea to touch
the happy. sky.
OH | laughed once to forsake it, but
I'm longing now to take it
The green road. the clean road, that is so
broad and higa.
The gray street. the gay street; how sol
emnly it shines.
The sun imprints his pleasures, but there's
pain between the lines.
Oh, | smiled at first to see it, but I'm
eager now to flee it
The gray street, the gay street, how sol
emnly it shines!
The pure love, the sure love, comes over
me like rain;
The tinsel of my heartless love is turn
ing poor and plain.
It's my life | have been giving Just to
make decent living,
Its my all l have been losing Just to get
a little gain.
The nest song, the best song, is CRYING
swift and sweet;
Ihe tunes within my bosom, but the
times not in my feet.
An! they only sing for pity, do the
voices in the city.
Did you ever hear q homely song sound
happy in the street?
The gray, street, the gay street, for me it
holds no rest,
Not even when the summer sun is sailing
down the West;
And L cannot find my pleasure in a road
my sight can measure,
From the little room | dwell in with
memory for my guest.
The green road, the clean road, it is so
broad and high,
1t stretches from the happy sea to touch
the happy sky.
Oh, to rise and part with sadness! oh,
to move and meet with gladness,
On the green road, the clean road, that
is so broad and high.
