FASTING? The idea thus suggested
was soon put into execution.
Ere long the mark Twain scrap
book" ~tpatentedl with leaves ready
gummed, Was in the market. and was
eagerly bought by scrap book COM
pliers.
! The stamp collecting lobbyist was
a purchaser: so was the young lady
who collects love verses from ."The
Poets Csrncr,'' cake and recipes and
cheap pictures.
So was the young man who preserves
police court reports and sensational
news items as suggestions for the plots
Of the great novels lie intends to write
i'll the future.
The name Of the inventor gave an
nous. and dollars flowed into the poe
kets of the ingenious lumorist.
SO far all WAS we'll. But the tale
ends badly. The patent scrap
book proved to be a complete and I'M
mitigated failure. Purchasers soon
foand that some of the leaves had
stuck together.
SO good was the gum. and so good
was the cumming process executed,
that ono the leaves united they
could not be separated without tear
ing.
A damp room made the leaves as
adhesive as a pair Of lovers. Even
the damp weather was sufficient to
caHse them TO eoalesce.
Where amy OF tlIe leaves we've found
to lie u~nconnected it was almost i'm
possible To atix a scrap without leav-
ing a wetted spot on the gum, and
this, OF course, rendered the labor use
less, as the leaves clung together with
the tenacity that is exhibited when
the palm of a beggar unites with a six
pence.
Lamentation was heard in the land.
Over the American continent Mark
Twain was exeeIated by the enraged
compllers of scrap books.
To-day the Mark Twain Scrap
Books may be found in the dust
heaps of American towns, and i'll the
lumber rooms of American homes.
They repose unused on parlOr tables,
o. form dummies Oh book shelves.
They do duties a. lamp-stands, foot
rests and window supports, but they
are never used as scrap-books.-Er.

An Unfortunate Patent.

After Mark Twain had published
"A tramp Abroad he found himself
IN possession of al amount of leisure
which he had not enjoyed for years.
He had, as he himself expressed
it, ''huge hunks of idieness.r
But the famous humurist did not
spend those idle weeks in absolute i'll
anition.
That remarkable business faculty
which is almost as prominent a trait
IN his character us his humor, soon ex-
hlblted itself IN q moneY-making pro-
Ject which made him IS much finan-
cial gain as any of his literary efforts.
While sitting smoking one evening
on a tilted chair in his .'den,' as he
terms it the uniquely furnished and
very nntidy room in which he manu-
features his jokes, he devised "A scheme
by which he expected to benefit the
public aud fill the purse of Mark
Twain.
His eye had been resting on one of
the scrap-books which lay open on
his desk.
Scrap-book compilation was one of
his favorite occupations.
he was indisposed to return to the
toilsome task Of FASTING in. the quaint
picture, cuttings, and odds and ends
which he delights to collect.
Suddenly a brilliant idea came into
his fertile mind.
Why should one be obliged to tire
and soil his hands with the paste
brush ?
Why should one not be able to pur-
chase a scrap-book with leaves already
gummed, and thus be saved the waste
vi time involved in the slow process of
