STORY ABOUT CLEMENS.
New York Paper Tells How He Was
Mistaken For Mark Twain.

The following from the New York
Press, is to say the least, entertain
ing:
For a man to have q double is often
confusing, but when the aforesaid dou-
BILE is famous complications of stu
pendous character are apt to result. A
man out in Topeka, Kan, by the name
of Clemens-G. C. Clemens-iS con-
stantly being mistaken forthe humOrist
of the slme name, and the more vehe-
n2ently he denies any relation to Mark
Twain the more the people laugh and
declare it's the best jOkea yet. He
found people taking his most serious
remarks as excruciatingly humorous.
He went to Europe years ago, and peo-
pie there diEed and wined him, believ-
ing that they had the real old stuff
with them. The more he tried to ex-
pain that it was all mistake on their
part, and the madden he got, the more
tickled they were. ooh, Mr.. Twain,
they said you are SO funny! Now We
see through it all, and you can't con-
ceal your identity from us" On an
other occasion in crossing the brine he
was asked to make a speech on ship
board on the Fourth of July. On
reaching Glasgow his speech was print
ed in enc of the newspapers, and of
course was credited to Mark. Clemens
tried all sorts of arguments to prove
that he wasn't Mark Twain, but all
the editor said was, III you want to
travel incog., it's all very well, but l
cannot and will net tell my readers
that the speech that l have published
as yours is not your own. That night
Clemens went to the theatre with some
erS.o Il - I,os,.
amusement Mark Twain gags were
thrown at him from the stage. The
next day crowds of people came to his
hotel for his signature. He wrote his
Cwn honest name in their albums, and
they departed happy. He skipped the
cou1try and fl q to Paris. but here he
was sought out.The Glasgow edieOr
sent for him. Thinking the truth was
about to come out, he returned and
found that the editor wanted TO sub
NIT to him a business proposition. The
editor was to print anything that
Clemens might choose to write
denying that he was Mark
Twain. and then pay Clemens
well fer travelling over Scotland and
write it up ION the American plan"
Clemens was to be himself and no one
else, and ne was to get big Fay for be-
ing honest. This looked like profit
able and reputable schem5 and Glenn
ems wrote the letter denying his iien-
THY with Mark Twain. and then start
ed off OF his e0urBut when he reached
the next town he found his letter rs
published had preceded him. Worse
than that. il was accepted as only enc
mora of Mark TWain's things" De
s2airing Of his attempt to be honest he
returned to America; but on shipboard
he became honized Kind ladies got

Leicester, Dec. 7.-Game Warden

fisheries and game commissioners, ask
