] INTERVIEWING THE INNOCENT.
Mark Twain was very funny ut the entertain,
ment OF the Press Club Tuesday evening. His
Encounter With an interviewer kept the a11-
diencc laughing all the time. It Was not ell
| tirrly new, but it was entirely good. and ] vcn-
! ture to give few OF the points a5 recall them
| Much was added to tue humorous effect by the
| drolI, drawling, noncnalant style OF delivery.
Having been fairly cornered by the interviewer,
| and not being able to reconcile the &sNot Mt
| home " or other subterfuse to his peculiarly
I constituted natn7e. Mark decided to see him,
hut to give him only vague, very vague, in fact,
| remarkably vague, answers. He apologize1 at
the outset for his memory;
<No objections, sir. But you'll hare to nut
up with q bad nicmory-no, not bad 50 much
As an irreguiar memory. Sometimes it'll gal
lop right along proper, and then come to .
| place where it ltches for week or two; but,
] it you'll bear: with me, We'll do the best we
can't
The interviewer thought they might skip the
hitches, and Mark began to look oyer the pict-
ures IN the rear end Of the dictionary, regret
ting that it Was not late edition, and didn't
seem to have any representation OF an inter-
view. Then he modcstly asked how the word
WIS spelled. and the visitor spelled it.

+ 'Certain1y. Hew wo,11d you spell It3'
'Oh, wouldn't spell j, in particular Bnt I
thonsht You knew-I say. what do you do it
With"
The reporter said it ought something's to be
done with club; and they changed the subject.
AGE, AND RtRTu, AND TWINS.
"How old are you, Mr. T,salnl'' =
"Ajuetcen in the spring, guessn
"1should take you to be nearer 10. But neT-
er mind that. Where we're you born2:'
II don't know
Don't know where you were born2 Impos-
siblc, STRIP:
"We1}, Why should T.' With some heats
iou don't suppose keep list about me OF
little things like that, do youl''
Speaking Of himself and Bill, the twins, one
OF whom. aud nobody ever knew which Of whom
was drowned, Mark fixed the time as (. When
ne were two weeks old-a week apiece, you
fnoW." There WIGS a dreadful mystery, he
said, about Bill. The family never knew where
be went to.
"Did he diEappear!'' asked the interviewer,
ears up at Inst.
"}es, you might put it that way, perhaps.o
"but how would you put it, Mr.. Ywains"
Maybe that's as good as any way. He did
disappear. We've buried him.
MEETING GREAT MAN.
The interviewer hunted about for some topic
on which e7en Mark could talk intcllig1bly, and
inquired:
'svhom do you consider the greatest man you
erer metl''
Aaron Burr was the prompt reply.
"Oh, do talk sense! You say you are only
nd haEn ar Anr H.

~ don't. explain it. ! only state the facts.
lou can'ts expect too much Of 4 man, you
know.''
But don't you see the horrible discrep-
ancr:"
There does seem to be something OF that |
sort, now you speak OF it. hadn't noticed it
beforc.''
a" Well, pass that. How did rou come to
meet Aaron Burr!''
" hadn't much to do, you see, aud hap |
pened to drop In at his funeral, and suppose / |

me to make less noise, anl''-
stop, Tor heavens sake. You saw that J
Aaron Burr was dead, and yet asked You to |
make less noise. How could dead man u -
