The times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1882-1897, 1895-05-17

Robert Buchanan's bankruptcy Is
ascribed in part to unwarranted extra
vagance in living. No American writer
has recently been brought into court on
account of his debts, but 1t is note
worthy that successful authors in Amer.
lea frequently adopt scale of living
that seems to be a mere aping of the
ways Of the rich. Nearly every such
authui is driven into variety Of avo.
cations to increase his income, and
while few literary men earn more than
$1,000 by strictly literary work in THEFT
originally chosen speciality, several
earn three or four times as much in
related occupations.

Estheticism In Heat.

If once we come to know the charm
that the open fire has to offer, and If
once we realize its potency against
many ills, we will surely insist upon it's
presence, let the inventors and the
economists offer what they may. For
during the long winter days, such as
we recently have undergone, 1t makes
the home so bright and CHEEKY as to
shut out even the thought Of the dreary
bleakness without. And when the spring
opens, and even when the summer
comes, it allows of just sufficient heat
at eventide to chase away the dampness
that is certain to be felt. 1t makes
home a center Of warmth and inspira-
ton. 1t chases away dull care. 1t in
vites the day-dreams that we all must
love. 1t provokes imagination to play
his jolliest pranlks. 1t sends its in
fluence forth and bids us hasten back
that we may enjoy the good 1t has to
offer. 1t acts as a magnet and draws
the family circle close together. 1t pro-
notes merry chat and harmless jest
1t suggests good homely games, and
the young folk seek ii out 1t becomes
a center of attraction, and brings good
friends to share its light and warmth.

MARK AND THE RE )SxtN

savage.
Charley Davis tells a good story
anent Mark Twain, in which the hui.
morist was for once out-humored.
Davis was then with the Forepaugh
show, which happened at that partic-
ular date to be playing at Hartford
The enterprising agent thought it
would be good advertisement to get
an 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 In
dams had to do with him, anyway.
"Why, the fact is" replied the cir
Gus man, with a 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 indis-
posed to grant the request until Davis
swore that big Sioux chief had de-
clared that he would never die happy
If compelled to return to the reserva-
ton without having seen and spoken
to the man whose fame was as wide
as the world.
"All right" said Twain. "Run 'em
in at six and let us make it short"
About that hour the humorist sat on
his porch and saw to his establishment
an immense cavalcade of mounted
warriors coming down the street. In
the place of half dozen chiefs ex-
pected, there were not less than fifty
savages tearing along like mad in ex-
hibition of their Workmanship They
turned in upon the lawn and broke
down the shrubbery and wore off the
grass and devastated the whole place.
The spokesman of the party was a
mighty hunter and had been previous
ly informed that Twain was dlstin-
guished for the awful slaughter of
wild beasts, so he laid himself out for
game of brag. The interpreter was
in the deal and, instead of repeating
what the chief really said, made a
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 hunter 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. whereupon Twain made a
brief reply, which was quadrupled in
length by the interpreter turning it
into a marvellous hunting yarn. The
chief listened with stolid Indifference,
but when they got away he grunted
contemptuously and said:

college in the prairie grass" and with
it's phenomenal progress he has been
closely identified. The venerable In
structor came to Beliot in 1S4S from
Yale, where he was a tutor in Greek.
He was graduated from Yale with the
class of 1S41, and among his classmates
were such men as Judge Larned, Rev.
w. T. Eustis, Judge Birdseye, and
Donald c. Mitchell. The professor
springs from the most stalwart Of New
England's eupatridae, and his ancestry
may be traced to the times of William
the Conqueror; yet the more inspirtngly
democratic part Of the long genealogy
lies at the heroic age of the Puritan
immigrations, when Rev. Peter Bulk

the prosecutions of Charles 1. Prof.
Emerson was the cousin of the distin-
guished Ralph Waldo Emerson, and
carries with him the personalities of the
family. He is immensely popular with
his students, all of whom revere him
as a father.
His eccentricities of expression and
voice are peculiarly Emersonian. 1t is
by deep-sinking laconic utterances and
object lessons that the beloved teacher
exercises much of his unique influence,
so that a freshman half forgets the
wonderfully exact Greek scholarship
and wide Greek culture of the master
while under the direct power Of the
man. He is now IA years Of age, and
measures 6 feet and 2 inches in height.
His favorite position in the classroom is
with his feet placed pigeon-toe style in

The Deaf, Dumb and Blind asylum at

entirely by Afro-Americans. Mr.. Hol-

pripcipal of the institution. The pro-
ficiency which the pupils have reached
is something extraordinary. The readi-
