Some one said that Sam Clemens got the
name, mark Twain" by casting the
sounding line on the Mississippi river
steamboat, and yelling lone foot; two
foot scant; mark twain" etc. Another
declared that he picked it up in Cali
forlia somewhere among the mines, and
George Francis Train alleges that
Clemens stole it from him as u kind of
distillation or perversion of the word
Train, while we, personally, have al
ways supposed that the far-seeing gods
handed down the combination, MARK
Twain" worked in worsted on 4 pi lk-
trip-slip, and found in the scrap-bag of
heaven, where some careless angel had
tossed it. But Clemens says that
neither of these versions is the true one,
and writes just how he got hold of the
phenomenal cognomen in a letter which
looks serious and truthful on its face,
which reads as follows:
DEAR SIR: "Mark Twain" was the
nom de plume of one Captain Isaiah
Sellers, who used to write river news
over it for the New Orleans Picayune.
He died in 1868, and rs he could no
longer need that signature 1 laid vio-
lent hands upon it without asking leave
of the proprietor's remains. That is
the history of the nom de plume l bear.
Yours truly. SAMUEL J.. CLEMENS.

Sitting Bull is unconquered i'll spirit.
An Indian interpreter met him In
northern Montana lately, and asked
him il he did not fear defeat, now that
Crazy Horse has surrendered. To this
the limping red chief, Sitting Bull, only
replied: "Me afraid nothing. Crazy
Horse is squaw, and me make his wo'
men weep before the snow falls. Me
fight soldiers as long as me have war
rior. My young men are no papoosesi
Miles need not fear that we will run
from him. When ready me will hunt
him and give the coyotes a feast, and
show that the Uncapapa Is no squaw. !"
The "Uncapapa" is evidently fairly
wallowing in war paint.

1t is a bright idea-this idea of tying
a knot in the corner of n napkin and
tucking Into the collar at the throat, to
protect one's shirt-bosom while eating.
So simple, and yet so e%ffectual, it beats
every patent contrivance all hollow.
Rogers, a tenor singer in Paris, is the
fellow who first struck upon this ar
rangement, which is bound to ''spring
into universal circulation" and which,
like most suggestions from Paris, is
knotty, but nice.
