AN ENDORSEMENT.

kealia, Kauai. III. l.. June 30. 1899.
Mr.. III. Il. Walton. Manager Peerless
Preserving Paint Co.-Dear Sir: In
September. 1896. you did nearly $1,000
worth of work for us under n three
years contract and am pleased Ten tes-
tify to the fact that YOU kept your
agreement to our satisfaction. W. find
that your paint gives better SatisfaC-
ion than any We have tried on roofs
either shingle or iron. and as W. are
situated so near the sea the paint uueS-
tion is an important one for us. We
realize that no paint will kill rust. -
although the Eureka people guaTan-
tee to- do so with their paint. AMI we
have given them onc-half mile of rus
~ track to- experiment upon. We do
not believe they can accomplish what
they claim. although We hope so. ~ the
world has been looking for such paint
for centuries.
We do believe that your paint will
protect iron from rust along the sea-
shore and will give IL good trial on
our railroad track. which u situated
between Anahola and Kapaa.
The proposition that I Offered YOU
and the Eureka people to each paint
one mile OF our track and We would
pay the man whose paint was tu the
best condition at the end of the year.
the price of the two miles fell through.
as the Eureka people would not accept
the proposition. II the Eureka people
claim to have contracted with uS for
any work outside OF the one-half mile
OF track mentioned above. they have
70 authority to make such statements.
for such is not the case.
That We have given YOU another
contract amounting to- over sS.0cO IS
the best proof that We are satisfied with
your paint and agreements.
Yours truly.

For several months past we have been
receiving every Monday morning big
patches OF matter relating to the grant
ing Of subsidy to some sort or another
OF an ocean steamship line. The sub
sidy was to be given by the government.
We we're at loss to know who could
afford to prepare such an abundance of
matter free OF charge and have same
printed for distribution. We have found
out that it is that intensely patriotic
boss, Mr.. Hanna, who wants to put his
hands into the national treasury, to bon
us some big steamship line in which he
is Interested The steal evidently was
to have been big one, as the matter
has been coming for nearly year and
the cost already in that line alone has
been considerable. II the people don t
shut Hanna off he will be wanting to
mortgage the government to some for
eign nation.

MARK TWAIN.

Corrections Made of Myths Regarding
His Early Life.
There is one thing concerning Mark
Twain's career on the river" said
Capt. Horace E. Bixby, the veteran
Mississippi boatman, addressing the
local historian, that 1 wish to have
Justice, and that is the generally con-
ceived impression that he was poor
pilot. OF course. his great fame as an
author has SO far eclipsed all that he
accomplished in earlier life that he can
well afford to laugh with the rest of
the world at the ridiculous stories told
about him in this connection, but as
sure you they are all fabrications. AS
is we'll known to all who have read
his Life on The Mississippi Mr.. Glenn
ems served his apprenticeship under
me, and ought to be IN a position to
speak with accuracy on this question.
1t is not probable that l would have
undertaken to teach him the river and
at the same time make him my COM
paniOn and associate had I not been
favorably impressed by his personal
appearance and gentlemanly deport-
ment. Clemens was far from being the
green country boy that he has often
been painted. At a glance one would
have taken him to be person OF good
birth and more than average training.
He was not given to excesses of any
kind, but, on the contrary. always con-
Quoted himself in a way that won the
esteem of his associates. Up to that
time that he left the river he had writ
ten nothing but some sketches for the
marine reporters, which were mostly
printed over his nom de plume Of Mark
Twain. The first Of these to attract
attention was an account Of an imagin-
ary flood in the Mississippi, when the
entire valley was under water from
Cairo to the gulf, except the summits
of few of the bluffs. At New Orleans
boats landed alongside of the st.
Charles hotel. AS a bit Of exaggeration
1t excelled anything yet seen in print
in the west. and the innocent writer
woke one morning to flnd himself ia
nous. OF course, no one at that time
could have foretold the great fortune
that awaited the young man, yet we
who knew him were not surprised at
his success. l. Globe Demo-
