Mark Twain and the Editor.

Some time ago while Mark Twain
was taking reminiscent float down
the Mississippi river, the boat upon
which he had embarked was compelled
one night to ''tie up" at Flay's
Point. a village in Louisiana. The hui
morist had gone to bed, and had just
sunk into doze when there came a
rap at his state-room door. Twain
opened the door. A squint-eyed fell
low wearing check shirt and raw
hide boots stepped into the room.
''Is this Mark Twain?"
Eyes, l am known by that name
"Well. sir, I have some mighty i'm
portant business with YOU
"Please state it."
"Kain't do it here, but eff you'll come
with me you'll soon find out"
II don't care to 60 anywhere to-
night-except to bea," Twain replied.
sBut tell you this is important
something that should be attended to
at once. You just come with me,
and I'll be dinged if you ever regret
it,"
II don't care to meet anyone
"You won't have to meet anyone
but me. You may have had a trick
PLAYED on you, but | tell you this is to
your advantage. 1t won't take you
ten minutes. The only reason l want
YOU to 90 with me is that may prove
my good faith"
He continued with such strong i'm
portunity that Tawin finally consented
to 90 with him. The humorist was con-
