much better. and now l can say posi-
lively that I am entirely cured. can

MARK TWAIN iNsTRucTs.
He Tells How to Make an After-Din-
ncr Speech.


Mark Twain said sadly not long ago:
The funniest thing in the world is
the truth. Tell the plain truth and the
people will always laugh at it. If ! get
up at a dinner and refer to n man as an
%insinccre galoot-I mean q man who is
present at the dinner-he as we'll as
every one else will laugh
when Mark Twain returned to New
York last fall after his long stay abroad
it was particularly appropriate that
his first formal welcome home should
come, as it did, from the Lotos Club,
IL on that occasion joy was uncon-
fined. MIR. Clemens told some truths
that evening which proved the correct
ness of his theory. In fact, most of the
humor of the after-dinner speeches
which he has made this past winter
has been in his presentation of truths.
MI. Clemens speaks with a slow, play
full drawl, and occasionally his eyes al.
most close. When laughter interrupts
him he opens his eyes, mods and look.
ing along the line of faces opposite him,
he sometimes smiles in enjoyment of
the joke with them.
MIR. Clemens in speaking at his first
dinner of the things that had happened
since he had been away, said, reflec-
lively:
