his threescore years. Mark Twain is
back on his feet again. and is goingover

MYSTERY OF THE CANYONS HAT. 8
The Clemens conscience was much
troubled at the time of the interview
by the hat OF Canon Wilberforce. The
American humorist and the famous
English divine had been fellow guests
at dinner two nights before and CanonI
Wilberforce was called away early by
his Parliamentary duties, and when
Mark Twain came to so later on he
found that his hat was gone Il tried
every hat in sight, he said, land at
last found one that fitted every idiosyn-
Grassy of my Uranium. Ii is strange
and mysterious circumstance that it
turned out to be the property of Canon
Wilberforce After | had had it a day
was obliged to write hastily to the
Canon and explain that my family had
become seriously alarmed by my con-
dition. Ever since wearing the Canons
hat l had been unable to take property
that did not belong to me; had found
it impossible to stretch statement be-
You'd the bounds of truth. and had
shown such complete change in NOR
ais that the ACCESSIBILITY of sending for
a doctor for me was being seriously
considered.
When l reflected that this was, no
doubt, the influence of the clergymans
hat, became badly frightened at the
thought of what must DE the effect of
my hat upon him. He must have been
telling lies right and left ever since
he picked out my hat-Mark Twain
was written in it, too, in big letters; |
wrote ii myself. Judging by the num-
Der Of moral beauties brought out in me
by the Canon's hat, the number of
vices awakened in his bosom by my
hat must have been appalling, and
must get up this minute, have that
hat nicely ironed, take it down to
Westminster and get mine away from
the Canon before 1t plunges him into
some awful disgrace, if it had Rst done
so already
The incident pleased Mr.. Clemens so
much that he told a somewhat different
version Of it at dinner that night.
CURTIS BROWN.

that in order to be an Ambassador a
mans chiefest need was a stomach,
and that if any one had told him he
could dine out fifty nights in succession
and live he would have thought it a
good joke Mark Twain has been in
as much demand as Mr.. Choate, and
to catch up UP lost sleep he said he had
put in jthirty-two hours in bed in the
last three nights. THE surprising fact
about it" land he's vain of it), he said,
lis that l haven't been really tired
If it were not for the whiteness of hi.
hair, which streamed out from his head
to all points of the compass, he would
net look his GA years. At the risk of
venturing on one of those personal de-
tails so dreaded by the famous author,
it must be observed that a nightshirt is
becoming to him.
THAT EXTRAORDINARY BOOK.
Naturally one of the first questions
was about the remarkable book which
Mr. Clemens is writing, but which is
not to be published for hundred
years 1t evidently worries him to
think that he can't be taken seriously.
cts no use talking about IT, he said,
slapping his hand down on the bed
clothes and giving the pillow an extra
hitch. There isn't living SOUL SO far
as l can discover, who can understand
my purpose My best friends don't
grasp the idea. | begin to think even
my family don't quite understand me.
You couldn't get the idea, either No
body could. And yet l suppose that
the one thing | could do was to talk
plainly. l don't use any big words. 1
don't sprout any flowers of speech, and
yet | suppose l have read comments
about it in fifty English and American
papers, and not a one of EN- seemed to
know what l was driving at. And yet
| have made it rule to say exactly
what l meant to say. try to be clear,
and let all the other graces go.
when / say / have earned a vaca-
ton and am going to spend it in my
own way, they get up and say to me,
But what a waste of time it is to write
a book that you won't seH?' Oh, the
sordidness of the idea! And yet | am
not pretending to work for nothing. |
am no better than anybody else. |
shall get my pay in pleasure. / have
right to get my pleasure in my own
way, haven't l? Now, it is my idea of
a good time to write a book that no
body now living shall ever see. If IL is
expensive to write a book that l shall
not let anybody buy in my day, all
right. It's my little copper penny, and
if l want to spend it in new way it
doesn't need to worry the man who
might spend his little copper penny
some other way.

it over into little different form. We
can't even boss the job. We can't tell
our minds what to do and what not to
do. All we can do is to just stand
around and admire the workings of our
mammoth intellects and think how
moderately smart we are.
If Talleyrand did what ] am going c
do it's about time it was done owe
again. Why, an idea is brand new i
we merely didn't see it yesterday, ane
all that makes life endurable is that all
the old things become new about once
in so often. But my book has no re-
semblance whatever to Talleyrand's or
to any other book, but the difference IS
something that I can't get any one to
understand.

Special Correspondence Of the Register

Special Correspondence of the Register.
LoNDoNI July 2o.-Mark Twain has
just set out for soiourn in Sweden,
with his wife and two daughters, and
will not get back to London till fall,
when he will rent furnished house or
find apartments somewhere and stay
until late in the winter or early in the
spring, and then, at last, return to
the United States.
At least, those are his intentions; but,
as he observed, in a rather extraordi-
nary talk had with him the day before
he left, L am full of intentions. | don't
believe I've had an intention in months
that I've fulfilled. Why, it isn't safe
to have an intention. You mustn't have
anything more than just the vaguest
germ of an idea that maybe you'll do
something or other if when the time
comes you don't happen to do some
thing else. You mustn't be bit more
definite than that, and if you get as far
as having a real intention. you are
lost
Mark Twain isn't often interviewed.
He is always a hard man to find, in the
first place. System and regularity are
not numbered among his sins; and in
the sec pnd place. after he has talked
awhile<to favored newspaper man, he
is lAely to say, as he did on this occa-
SION :'Now, see here it won't do to
i. publish any of that. l ought not to be
telling about my affairs. 1t isn't quite
right-.It doesn't look we'll"
COVERING UP THE VANITY.
Whereupon, | argued, and with fervor
ton of some of the talk, although Mark
Twain reiterated that he didn't believe
the public would care much about his
fool Intentions" He added: "You
see, it's the vanity of the thing that
worries me-that everlasting vanity
that every mothers son of us has. Ii
you can manage to cover it UP some
howl you can be deceiving enough to
make it appear that the vanity wasn't
there-why, go ahead and print some
of the things I've been saying; but don't
you print all of EN-" He pulled one
hand from under the bedclothes and
shook his finger impressively, thrustlns
the warning home with a sharp glance
from two of the keenest blue eyes that
were ever put into the head OF man.
Mr.. Clemens was in bed taking bite
now and then from his morning roll,
and getting sip of coffee between
times, although it was IL o'clock in
the morning He had been having the
same sort of experience in London that
Mr. Choate has had, and which led
that distinguished gentleman to ex-
plain to the Savage Club the other night

grew pale, Joy became speechless, ana
even Cousins eloquence failed him.
Mr.. Reed was always so anxious 10
win that his failure to do so caused
embarrassment among his friends.
Cannon has frequently said: l hate
to take his money while Southwick
has replied in a husky whisper: so
do I, but if l don't somebody else WILL
He'd rather have his friends win
Mr.. Reed has been so successful as
speaker in making small things look
large and in making minoritles look
like majorities, that the habit, SO Tor
tunate in his official capacity, has been
his ruin at poker. He had bluffed the
House of Representatives as an lnstl-
tuition with such ease that when he be-
gan playing poker he presumed he
could bluff a portion of the house with
greater ease. This dreadful error has
cost him many dollars. On one ocea-
sion Gen. Henderson, in a dollar-limit
game, carried off SIPS of the Speakers
money.
The Speaker, as he mopped his
humid head at the games finish, re-
marked: General, If you were as sue
cessful in the house as you were at
poker you would be a remarkable
character; strange, how extremes may
meet in one man.
Representative Wallace Foote, Of
Port Henry, n Y, the Beau Drummer
of the house, once won SIS, most of
which belonged to Reed, who remark
ed: If the zeal you display at poker,
Mr.. Foote had been diverted in GER
tain other directions, the constituency
at Port Henry would have retained
you in Congress indefinitely
sMr. Foote had just been defeated
! fer reelection. The speakers record
was as bad at stud poker as at draw,
and the report Of his success on the
New York is the subject of animated
discussions in Washington.

unhampered now, but as soon as the
idea OF publishing that book in time
for any one now living to read got
into my thoughts, any one can see that
l couldn't go ahead as had started
out
I'm not going to write autobiogra-
ply The man has yet to be born who
could write the truth about himself.
Autobiography is always interesting,
but howsoever true its facts may be. its
Interpretation of them must be taken
with a great deal of allowance. In the
innumerable biographies | am writing
many persons are represented who are
not famous to-day, but who may be
some day. z
Let me see if I can't make kind
of parallel thar will show one side of
my idea. Surprising there were shoe
maker who lived in Stratford-on-Ayon
in Shakespeare's time. Suppose that
shoemaker had neither chick nor child
and concluded that he would entertain
himself by setting down every night
for his own amusement. and not for
anybody else to read. his observations
of the people who came into his shop,
made a record of the things they did
and said that seemed TO him significant
o fthe times in which he lived. He
would have something in about the sad
dler and the baker and the candlestick
maker, and might also have something
about man named Shakespeare, who
lived in the town and who was said to
have some sort of a reputation in Lon
don, but who wasn't considered as any
thing extraordinary by the townspeople
who had always known him. If he
were a wise or a fortunate shoemaker
he would probably find whene he had
his book written that this man Shake
speare occupied an unexpected amount
of space in it, not because he was as
important as some of the town digni-
taries, but because he seemed to say
brighter things and to do more that
seemed worth putting down than any
body else who came into the shop.
WORTH IT'S WEIGHT IN DIAMONDS.
III that shoemaker's book had been
put away in a safe somewhere for
twenty-five years it would have become
pretty valuable In fifty years it would
have become precious. In a hundred
years it would have been worth its
weight in diamonds.
Just think, if the meanest, most in
significant man in all the town in
Shakespeare's day were to walk opt on
the street of London this morning with
his memory as fresh as if Shakespeare
had passed him on the corner the nig.4t
before, how precious every word he
had to say would bel"

Some say l want to advertise my
self. What should want to advertise
myself for? I'm through writing for
publication. Anyway, that's my inten-
ton, although it isn't safe to have an
intention.
EVEN ADAM HADN'T A NEW IDEA.
Some say: That's not new idea;
Talleyrand did it. Why, there isn't any
such thing as a new idea There isn't
a man alive who ever had a new idea.
Nobody ever did have a new idea
Adam himself never had one. When a
critic goes TO a play and then goes and
writes about it that it wasn't based on
a new idea, all he should mean is that
the old idea didn't have new coat OF
paint, that it wasn't rearranged. The
mind of man isn't capable of produc-
ing a new idea. All it can do is to take
the material already at hand and work
