The messenger "Ihjjs" looking over a copy of blood and thunder literature, which they don't read. SAX FRANCISCO, Dec. 27. — Miss Grace L. Longfellow, a great grandniece of the author of Hia watha, is 19 years old, good to look upon and quite proud of the fact that after a few months' work as a messenger "boy" Mgr. Coggins of the Postal has prom ised to make her an operator by the flrst of next year. Miss Longfellow lives with her parents at 305 San Jose aye., and ; nearly every morning when she arrived at the branch of the Pos tal company in the Merchants' Ex married twice. My first husband was a good man; but like lots of other young girls, I could not see it. 1 lived with him 11 years. That, Miss Grey, was the best time of my life, for he let me do as I pleased. He always trusted me; hut I shouldn't have been trusted, for 1 was too low and mean. I was led wrong by a mar ried man when I was I.; years of age and as a Godsend I never had any children. I drank and could not have got much lower; but I must also tell you the good I did. I took three children that DM cast off by their own mothers, who were also of the underworld. I kept them till they were 14, BJ4 and 3M years old. I fed and clothed them and they never knew I was not their real mother till one night I came home drunk and my husband (old them 1 was not their mother. It just broke my heart.

Miss Rose Rizzo Is slightly younger than her follow messen ger and hasn't been delivering messages quite as long. Her pre decessor, the other pioneer girl in the messenger field, was Miss Elsie Wollmer of 1055 Howard street. longer. I vowed then and there I would leave, for tho drink habit had too strong a hold on me. 1 could not quit it, so I left and gave up my loving husband and the chil dren whom 1 had disgraced; but I went hungry and many times almost naked, trying to make both ends meet. He put the children in the home. I married again, but to my sorrow, for there Is not a worse brute on earth. I consider myself a lady now, for I haven't drank a drop for over four years. I put my time in trying to help the poor and am trusting in Cod's strength to do the best I can; but everything seems against me. I am where I can't get up nt present, for if I did my husband would kill mo. I may get a chance to come to your city this slicing. If I do, I will run away. My whole soul cries out for someone who will only love me and be true to me and speak a kind work once In awhile.
