A SPLENDID NEWSPAPER YARN.
A Yellow Journalist.
By Miriam Michelson, Author of "In the Bishop's Carriage," etc.
Illustrated. 12mo. Ornamental Cloth, $1.50.
This novel has the true newspaper thrill in it from beginning to end.
The intense desire to "cover" one's assignment completely and well is
brought out in the midst of the melodramatic atmosphere in which a
modern newspaper woman must live. The stories are all true to life, and
mixed with the excitement there is a wealth of humor and pathos.
"There is a dash about 'A Yellow Journalist' that exhilarates like a
fresh breeze on a sharp winter morning."--_Chicago Record-Herald_.
"The book is bright and entertaining."--_Minneapolis Tribune_.
"There are just a few writers who have succeeded in reducing to paper

Yellow Journalist,' Miriam Michelson must be numbered among

"Miss Michelson's work has found great favor. The stories contained in
this book are characteristic."--_Philadelphia Public Ledger_.
"Only one with the genuine journalistic instinct, who has agonized over
a story and known the ecstacy of a 'beat' and the anguish of being beat,

humor, and a knowledge of human nature. The fourteen chapters of 'A
Yellow Journalist'
