MARX TWAIN AND HIS a1NolNE"


unique Method OF PROPULSION ON w
Missi.,ippi River
Captain Thomas Bixby. under whom
Samuel Ia Clemens Mark Twain
served as pilot and engineer on tho
old Mississippi river boat Swallow,
has given In a New Orleans paper the
following description OF the engine OF
tho Swallow:
"The craft was a little, shaky af-
fair. which piled between St Louis
and Cairo. II had a stern wheel. a
place for freight and passengers. a
pilot house and a place on what may
be called the pilot deck for the en-
CINE.
"That engine went aboard whom II
was needed, and only then. II burned
no wood or coal but ate a powerful
sight OF grass. II was a large gray
mule named Jerry, which worked a
troadmill that propelled the boat.
Samuel Clemens was chief engineer
and pilot.
''He had a system OF signals which
was effective and ingenious. by pull
ing cord he could raise head OF
cabbage Just out OF reach OF the mule.
The engine would start and begin
TO walk after II. and the boat noated
majesucally down or up the river, as
the case might be.
without desiring to be personal. I
will say that Jerry was one Of the
most intelligent animals ever met.
His voice was more on the order OF a
fog horn than a whlftle, being too
much Of barytone for the latter.
When Samuel wanted TO whistle for a
landing he Just hit Jerry with stick

Banker Lingar'S Son In-LaW.
by JAMES o'sHAgHNEssY.
Copyright, 1909. BY rhiiistory Pub. COZ

Copyright lN4, by
Upon the promotion OF William
Tarnley Faldis to the position OF re-
ceiving teller OF the Thirteenth Ma
tional Bank he began to show signs OF
the widening OF his horizon. He spell
ed out his middle name in full ana ac-
quired the art OF appearing at ease
In a dress suit He narrowed his So
cial orbit until he felt juetifed In
classifying himself as exclusive.
and then he discreetly fell In love with
the daughter OF Abel Lingar, the presi-
dent Of the bank
Fortunately for him Miss Bingar
was not beautiful OF face. and there
was neither symmetry nor grace In her
figure. These gaps in her structural
charms made his love course easy.
In visiting her fathers bank her
keen eye fell on Faldis. He was rather
pleasing in appearance. with light
blue eyes. a blonde mustache and
pink and white complexion. He could
sing all OF the popular and sentiment
tai songs. He sang the sentimental
ones for her and before the end OF the
season he was calling her Ethyl when
no one else was in hearing.
When he asked her to marry him.
she gave him her hand and their Sc
crot troth was pllghted All that re-
mained to be done was TO obtain the
consent OF Abel Lingar, Here Faldis'
training was a hlndrance and not a
help to him. He could not disassociate
Ethyl's father from the president OF
the Thirteenth National Bank. and he
could not summon sufficient courage
to ask President Llngar for the hand
OF his daughter In marriage.
When he arose In the morning his
resolution was fixed, but at night he
returned frettully to his couch with
the dreaded task still ahead OF him.
Whenever he would put himself in the
presence Of Ethyl's father II was only
to discover the great president OF the
Thirteenth National Bank and he
would retire in deferential confusion.
One evening when closing his ac-
counts he found they were wrong.
There. In his own handwriting, was n
false entry OF $4,000. over and over
the books he went but the studied
examination only confirmed the awful
evidence that he was short $4,000.
Al the sight OF President Llngar
stalking majestically through the
counting room of the bank to his pri-
waite office. Faldls shook with terror.
II suddenly occurred to his over
wrought mind that perhaps the bank
had an unexplained overplus OF 500
900, with the impulse OF this vagary
he rushed of TO the ONCE.
Il beg your pardon. Mr.. Lingar." he
Filtered. "but-er-has-is there an
Dverplus OF $4,000
"What7"
Has anyone made an error"
"An error An error OF s20.0O07"
Numbered Llngar.
The cold, accusing manner OF Lingar
founded the depths OF Faldis' abjec-
non. The reaction was instantaneous.
Tho pale blue eyes OF the teller ceased
10 waver In their glances and became
as fixed and steely as those OF the
president No longer cringing. he
Strengthened up denantly.
did you say there was an error OF
2O.O0O7" said Lingar In sllghtly soft
ened tones.
81 did not. but there 10 an item Of
that amount In my books which / am
unable TO explain"
you are IN. Faldis. Take a rest Of
a day or 30. johnson will take your
place"

But it does not follow that Mineral

That was their first game, and it was

eleven in this section of the state.
The fact that they held their Oppon-

that Mineral Point has material to
develope q strong team. Next Satur-
day they play the Linden Highs on

Ben Thomas, the popular and eff
ficient county clerk, spent a few

are counted. The republican ticket
has many good names on it, and
among the best is that of Ben Thomas
Every republican voter will place his
mark of approval after this good
name on election day, and many
democrats who know the worth OF
the man will do the same.
