Washington where they ought to be at
tending TO business for Nevada. 1t is
apparent that neither of them take
much interest in anything that might
be OF benefit to this State, and it is to

" Mark Twain's" Luck.
Cleveland Leader i

"Mark Twain is the literary Midas of the United States. Every thing he touches turns straight into gold He is now worth a million. and his income va ries, running high into the thousands of dollars yearly.

 Mark Twain ' IS now fifty years old, or he will be in November. When he wrote " lnnocents Abroad" here at Washington less than twenty years ago, he was living in second class board ing-house, in a little baok-room, which was kea'es with sheet iron stove Now he has an elegant residence at Hartford, Com, filled with the treasures of furni ture and pictures he has gathered m his tours over the world In his home a, Hartford, Mark rwain's" workshop IS m his billiard-room al the top of the house, and when he gets tired of pushing tie pen he Tises and eases his muscles by dolng some scientific strokes with the cne A Hartford man told me the other day he was callin; oa .

'Twain,'" said this man 'never gets excited. He walks slowly, talks lszily md drawiipgly, and acts as though he did not care much for life or anything in it.
