Charley Davis tells good story anent Mark
Twain in which the humorist was for once
outhumored Davis was then with the Fore
paugh show, which happened at the particular
date to be playing in Hartford. The enterpris-
ing agent thought it would be a good adver-
tisement to getan interview arranged between
Twain and the Indians, then feature OF the
circus. He called upon the humorist and laid
the matter before him. Mark said he didn't
care for Indians and was busy and didn't see
what the Indians had to do with him anyhow.
"why, the fact is" replied the circus man,
with gravity worthy OF a higher life, "they
have heard OF you and want naturally to see
you"
This didn't appear to be strange to Mr..
Clemens. Still, he was indisposed to grant the
request until Davis swore that big Sioux
chief had declared that he would never die
happy if compelled to return to the reservation
without having seen and spoken to the man
whose fame was as wide as the world
"All right" said Twain; run EN- in at and
let us make it short"
About that hour the humorist sat on his
porch and saw to his astonishment an immense
cavalcade of mounted warriors coming down
the street. In the place OF half dozen chiefs
expected there were not less than so savagcs,
tearing along like mad, in exhibition OF their

so he laid himself out for G me of brag. The
interpreter was in the deal, and instead of re-
peating what the chief really said, made
speech of his own speaking of Twain's literary
achievements
For heavens sake choke him off" said
Twain once or twice.
The interpreter turned to the chief and said
the white hun er wanted to hear more and
on he went. Every time the humorist cried
for quarter the chief was told to give another
hunting story. Finally the Indian vocabulary
becoming exhausted, the chief quit, where
upon Twain made u brief reply, which was
quadrupled in length by the interpreter turn
ing it into a marvellous hunting yarn. The
chief listened with stolid indifference, but
when they got away he gruuted contemptu-

Arrangements are therefore made in firstt

three cooks an half dozen helpers are re-
