Mark Twain,s Courtshin.

Mark Twain's wife was Miss Langdon of
Elmira, says the Boston Globe. When Marx
first met her he was not so distinguished as
now. Her father was a judge, and doubtless
expected family" and social Importance In his
son-in-aw.
Mark. however, became interested in his
daughter. and after a while proposed, but was
rejected.
"Well, " he said to the lady, II didn't much be-
heve you'd have me, but thought I'd try"
After while he tried" again, with the same
result, and then remarked with his celebrated
drawl, Il think great deal more Of you than

A third time he met with better fortune and
then came the most difficult part of his task
to address her father.

The Man Who Laughs.

The man whose ha! ha reaches from one end
OF the street TO the other may be the same fell
low who soolded his wife and spanked the baby
before he got his breakfast says the st. Louis
hepuoHc, but his laughter is only the cackle OF
tnorns under the pot. The man who spreads
MS laughter through his life-bsfore a late
breakfast, when he misses the train; when his
wire goes visiting and ne has to eat a cold sup

button on his shirt; when the furnace fire goes
out IN the night and both of the twins come
down with the measles at the same

he delivers no homilies; the sight OF his
Deaming face, the sound of his happy voice and
the sight OF his blessed daily life carry convIc-

blues Zee before him as the fog before the west
WIND; ne comes into his own home like flood
OF sunshine over meadow OF bloominelbutter-
cups, and his wife and children blossom in his
presence like June roses. His home is redolent
with sympathy and love. The neigh borhood is

The Kicker.

thought some one would kill kim, as he kicked
from morn till night,
Or that some mad wretch would fill him full of
buckshot out of spite;
But wondered when the barber gave him Just
the smoothest shave.
And the waiter and the carver softest hunks for
him would save,
And the porter bowed SO meekly when he took
the kicker's grip,
And all cottoned to him weakly, though he
never gave tip.
Trainmen watched with care the heating on the
car he patronzed.
Not a hackman essayed beating when his kick
was realized;
Even newsboys grinned compliance when he
quoted office rates,
Ana fair women sought alliance with this
molder Of the fates
Like mule, by earnest kicking he had won all
pleasant things
And in heaven you'll find him picking out the
longest pair of wings.

The Alaska Census.

Fifteen Timber awed natives lives at Ahgo-
m ekhelanaghamute, says the Cleveland Leader
and eighteen told the enumerators In their own
sweet way that Observation-Disclosures was
their home. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS is a settle
ment somewhat remarkable for having more
inhabitants than there ara letters in its name.
while Kochlogtopagamute boasts twenty resi-.
dents and therefore enjoys the same proud
distinction. The natives break the
name of Observation-Disclosures in
the middle, not that it is hard
word as things go in Alaska, but to draw ont
its sweetness little longer. In WohlenoRamuta
nineteen children of the soil have their abiding
place, and about twice as many are more or less
proud to call Yokokakat their home.

The terms of office of all of the county
school commissioners of this state expire
during the three months beginning March
10. To secure uniformity in the execution
of the laws of the school system the COM
missioner of education has issued an order
for an examination and election of CON-
missioners in each county on March 10.
The commissioner emphasizes the necessity
for electing to these positions men of ex-
ceptional moral character, business quslif-
cations and general availability" as we'll
as possessing the capabilities required by
law.

A Scramble for the Offices.

1t looks as If the contest between the
democratic factions in Louisiana was moth
ing more than fight for the offices The
lottery issue has disappeared. The chief
owner OF the lottery company has an-
nounced that the company has decided not
to ask for an extension of its charter, and
that it will wind up its business affairs at
the expiration of its present charter There
is, therefore, nothing to keep the two fac
tions apart, except the offices.
But there is as bitter q feeling between
the factions as there was between the Demo-
cratic and Republican parties during the
period of carpet bag rule The McEnery
faction is importing Winchester rifles and
in other ways preparing for troublous times.
The leaders of that faction say they repre-
sent the regular Democratic party, but they
haven't control Of the party machinery and
they are afraid that their ballots will not be
counted. In other words they contend that
fraud will be practiced upon them. On the
other hand the organ of the Foster faction
asks If the importation of arms means mur~
der.
1t is certainly to be regretted that the
05uOCThUs Oh hOuthlanh SHOULD DC uIVlu6u,
aud especially is 1t to be regretted that the
feeling between the two wings of the party
should be 50 bitter. That each side expects
serious trouble at the election there is no
doubt. Preparations for it are being made.
Officers in some of the militia companies
have been changed and new companies
have been organized.
There was a report a day or two ago that
one wing of the Republican party had made
overtures to one wing of the Democratic
party looking to a union of their strength.
1t is hardly probable, however, that any
considerable number of democrats in
Louisiana could be induced to become allies
of the republicans of that state.
The political situation in Louisiana is GER
tainly an unfortunate one. The hatreds
engendered in this campaign may continue
for years, and result in such combinations
as will virtually take the state out of the
control of the Democratic party.
