THE BON TON.
GOOD JOKE ON MARK TWAIN


1t is a Denver newspaper tradition
that the funniest bit of journalistic
work ever done by Mark Twain was
strangled by too friendly proofreader.
Mark was given an assignment 70
write up the opening of saloon-quite
a noteworthy event in those days in
the Colorado town. He thought 1t
would be funny to make his account OF
the festivities bear silent witness to
the potency of the free refreshments
dispensed. The article began soberly
enough, but soon the diction became
misty, then the spelling grew confused.
and finally the whole thing degenera'ed
into maudlin, incoherent eulogy Of the
saloOnkeepcr.
1t was funny. Mark read it over and
laughed until he cried But the next
morning when he eagerly scanned tho
paper he could not find his work. In
an obscure corner he saw q two-line
item stating that the AlcaZar saloon
was opened with appropriate testlyi-
ties last night That was al.
Ee rushed down to the office and in
quired about his article. The manag-
ing editor knew nothing about il. The
city editor couldn't tell what had be-
come Of it. The foreman said he
hadn't seen It.
AS Mark was snorting about the out

trying to get track of his missing
copy" a proofreader slyly nudged him
and said confidentially. you owe me

PRETTY WHEN SHE DIDN'T SING.

She wes visiting the city. and she
was the prettiest girl in the room.
When she stood up to sing the other
girls regarded her enviously. A pretty
girl who can sing is doubly dangerous,
and they considered that the visitor
had already received more than her
proper share Of masculine attention.
While she was arranging her music
and whispering to the accompanies,
the two girls just behind the piano were
exchanging condolences.
Il do think it's a shame" said the
first girl. vexedly. shes captured all
the men already with her airs and
graces. and if she sings well-and | just
know she does-we won't have a bit OF
fun tonight
"Oh. yes we will" answered the sec
ond girl, smiling happily. Wen be
all right"
But the other one was not to be go
easily consoled.
Il wonder who asked her to sing?
she fretted. 1T must have been some
one who knows all about her little
tricks, too, for all the girls in the club
are talking about 1t.
