dress to be master mechanic, man
who had vocation. He had with him
very little child of about or 8 years.

listed between the two. judged he

as much of his admiration. Things went
on very pleasantly. was making my

BY and by, when he almost reached:
the station where lie was to get off, he
got up, crossed over and said, Now.

hope you will regard as a compliment
And then he went on to say: i have
never seen Mark Twain, but have seen
Il portrait of him, and any friend of mine
will tell you when have once seen a
portrait of man | place it in my eye
and store it away in my memory, and
can tell you now that you look enough
like Mark Twain to be his brother. Now
he said, / hope you take this as COM

Certainly | said. i take it as more
than a compliment. Yes said, this
is the proudest moment of my life to be
taken for Mark Twain, for most men are
