Ye CorSayc Twain.

Many years ago the Montana CLUB IN
Helena entertained Mark Twain after
q lecture. He met many OLD friends
there and one old enemy. The latter
had come all the way from Virginia
City, New, on purpose to settle an OLD
score. When the glasses were filed
and Marks health proposed, this man
interrupted the proceedings by saying:
"Iold on a minute. Before we so fur-
ther want to say to you, Sam Clem-
ems, that you did me q dirty trick over
there in Silver City, and I've come
here to have settlement with YOU
There was q deathly silence for i
moment, when Mark said in his delib-
crate drawl: Lets see. That-Was-
before-I-reformed, wasn't-it"
Senator Sanders suggested that mas
,nuch as the other fellow had never re-
formed Clemens and all the others
present forgive him and drink together
which all did.

Claus and Rudolph sprs skels.

Anent the Illness of Rudolph Spreckels
the rumor is again current that there is
a prospect of reconciliation between
the young man and his aged parents.
The rumor has been in circulation sew
eral times. The estrangement between
Claus Spreckels and his sons is matter
that has occasioned a deal of comment,
and while there are many people that
sympathize with the young men, those
that are familiar with the circumstances,
feel that the sons gave their father just
cause for anger. Nevertheless there
would be rejoicing among the friends of
the family if reconciliation were had.
have heard it said that Rudolph
Spreckels has sought reconciliation and
was repulsed. The story is a pathetic
one. 1t is the story of repentant son
asking to be restored to the love of an
aged and unbendng parent who believes
that he was cruelty wronged by migrate
full children.-Town Talk.

Club "Reminiscences of Henolulu's

In Robert Howe Fletcher's Annals
of the Bohemian Club" the name Of
the late Paul Neumann naturally APP
pears many times. Mr.. Neumann was
one of the clubs earliest members and
he always took genuine interest In

the following story of How Neumann

Mr.. Josselyn. at this period dSSo) of
the clubs career, played prominent
part in it's affairs. Being a man OF
strong and determined opinions on
every subject which came up for de-
bate, he maintained his convictions
with a heat, vigor and persistency that
made him a formidable antagonist He
was one of the directors when Mr.. Paul
Neumann was president, and during
the course of the administration, deve1-
oped hostility to several OF Neu-
mann's pet schemes. But Mr.. Neu-
mann, who was at this time State SEN
ator, was as bland and sweet as pos
sible in the face of this antagonism
Finally, one night when the session
had been particularly long, and the
room warm, Mr.. Josselyn fell asleep
whereupon Mr.. Neumann. noticing the
| fact, quietly called up the first Of the
obnoxious measures and declaring that
| it would be a pity to awaken his dear
| friend Josselyn, cast his vote for him
| in the affirmative. He then brought up

PROF. JENKINS
KEEPING BUSY
Instead of an Outing He
Finds Much Work
Here.

| Professor Oliver P. Jenkins, who
ago to take charge of the work of the
! fish commission, finds that he has all
| that he cares about assuming. Origi-
nally, the doctor intended the trip as
much for recreation as for research
but owing to the fact that he was
| rest of the party, and because of the
hasty return of Doctor Evermann, and
the subsequent departure of Doctor
Jordan, the Stanford professor of phys
iology finds the management of the en-
tire commission resting on his should
ers. He keeps in touch with the fisher
men who come to the fish market, per-
sonally superintends the work of the
investigators at Moana beach, looks af-
ter the work of collecting on the other
Islands, sees that the artist is furnish
ed with material for his work, besides
doing large amount of scientific re-
search on his own account. Instead
of enjoying an outing, the doctor finds
himself an exceedingly busy man.
Doctor jenkins will stay IN the ISL
ands some five OF six weeks, only re-
turning to the Mainland in time to be
present at the opening of the universe
ty. The professor says that he finds
the work here exceedingly interesting,
Notwithstanding the unlocked for re-
sponsibilities that attend his arrival.
Mr.. Hudson, the artist. is doing some
work in his line that is both artistic
and scientific. 1t is from his drawings
and paintings that the pictures will be
made, which are to enter into the re-
port that is to be issued by Congress.
1t takes, as rule, just a week to make
complete drawing of one of the fish
submitted to him. This includes the
rough study, the more complete study,
and the final drawing, done in oil. Mr..
Hudson is eminently fitted for his
work, having studied art both in this
country and abroad. He has the happy
faculty Of combining artistic express
sion with scientific exactness in his
work, the beauty of which must be
seen to be appreciated.
