Increased In Value.

Mark Twain, in his last book, ac-
companies an old story with n COM
ment highly characteristic Of his pecu-
liarly dry vein of humor, after this
wise:
Once I dined in San Francisco with
the family Of a pioneer, and talked
with his daughter, a young lady whose
first experience In San Francisco was
an adventure, though she herself did
not remember 1t, rs she was only two
or three years old at the time. Her
father said that, after landing from the
ship, they were walking up the street,
a servant leading the party with the
little girl In her arms. Presently a
miner, bearded, belted and bristling
with deadly weapons-evidently just
down from a long campaign up in the
mountalns-barred the way, stopped
the servant, and stood gazing with a
face all alive with qualification and rs.
constituent. Then lie said, %reyerently.
"Well. If 1t alnt a child?" And then
he snatched a little leather sack out Of
his pocket, and said to the servant,
"There's $3.50 In dust here, and I'll
give 1t to you to let me kiss the child ,"
But see how things change. Sitting ut
that dinner table, listening to that
anecdote, IL / had offered double the
money for the privilege of kissing that
same child, l should have been refused.
Seventeen added years have far more
than doubled the price,
