HOW Mark TWAIN WROTE
..INNUCENT'N ABROAD"

At tina t time We did all our work in
our rooms, and when one of us got tir-
ed we Went to the room Of one Of the
others. Ii the other fellow was work
ing hard he snubbed the visitor ; it he
VIA, idIing he welcomed him. 1t was
here l became Il ve'y good drinker aud
II very good smoker. At Twaiu's room,
however, I'll. visitor was always wei
come, for by nature Twain is 20 lazy
that he will not work if there is in ex
cuse for :oating. He had IL little back
.:erm,t's cave, a den for IA wild animal,
and the wild aniinal Was there. In this
room Clemens wrote hls '%'InnUcen Is
Abroad" l wish you could see it to-
day in the light Of Mark Twain's pre-
sent reputation aud half million of
money. l am rather hardened now.
but | remember it shocked me at the
time. The little drum stove was full
of ashes running over Oh the zinc sheet
which Was covered all over; the bed
seemed 70 he unmade for a week. The
room Was sour with tobacco smoke, The
floor, dirty enough 10 begin with, Was
Uttered with newspapers from which
Twain had cut his letters. Then there
were hundreds Of pieces Of torn manu-
scripts which had been written aud
then r-j-c'ed by the author. A dozen
pipes were about the apartment on
the wash stand, on the mantel, Oh the
writing table, on the chairs-every-
where that room could he found.
Aud there Was tobacco, and tobacco
everywhere. One thing there were no
flies. The smoke killed them, and l
am now surprised the smoke did not kill
int, too. Twain would not let Il servant
come into his room. He would strip
down his suspender. this . a and vest.
Of course, being off and walk back
and forward iu sli ,pers III his little
room aud swear aud snake the whole
day long. Of course, at times lie would
work, aud When h. did work it WAS
like il steam engine at full head. l do
believe that if Clemens had not been
under contract tn write for the Hart
ford firm his ''Innocents Abroad" he
never would have done it. OF course
at that time, Townsend, Still-On. Riley
and myself never thought Twaiu's book
WOu'u duIOunI W AL tuIuS, duu piOOA
bio liz did not think it would either,
bu: he was writing for the money his
naked manuscript would bring from
his Hartford publishers. He needed
that money aud SO he wrote. He is
glad he wrote now. for thatI''Innocents
Abroad" written in that little back
room OIL Indiana avenue. in Washing
ton. has been the making Of the fame
and fortune Of Mark Twain. Whether
he smokes the same OH pipes (; wheth-
er he wears the same soiled undershirts;
whether lie heats his room with the old,
uncleaned stoves ; whether he swears
at his or other peoples's servants
whether he mOpes, aud susrls and
whines-well. l don't care. He is rich
and aristocratic. He has edited Il pa
per in Buffalo and another in Hartford.
He failed in both. Editing is not his
forte. Mining Is not his forte. Hu-
NOR is his forte. but will you excuse me
if l say that coarse humor should be
nobody's forfeit
