King Edwards Memory.

While he was in England, Mark
Twain says, his head was once taxed
as gas works. He wrote Queen Viz
toria IA friendly letter of protest, say
ing: 81 don't know you, but I've
met your son. He was at the head
of a procession in the Strand, and |
was on a bus" Years afterward he
met the Prince of Wales, now King
Edward VII, at Hamburg. They
had n long walk and talk together.
When bidding him goodbye the
Prince said: 81 am glad to have met
you again"
This remark troubled Twain, who
feared that he had been mistaken for
some one else. He communicated
this suspicion to the Prince, who re-
piled: "Why, don't you remember
when you met me in the Strand, and

you were on n 'bus7"-St. Louis

in order to fill up space by the insertion
OF leads, slugs, and stove wood between

country and its resources improvements
or possibilities. The editing is largely
done with the shears and the printing
by a blacksmith. assisted by d small kid
with ink all over his clothes and person.

the startling information that "Bill

homes or business locations; the climate

prospects of the country, all gotten up
in manner to attract capitol and visitors,

to be-not to fill his paper with any
thing that will stop up the hole-but
to get as much readable matter as pos
sible into the space which his appeeciat.

made the nineteenth century what 1t
was, nearly all occurred in the period
through which Mr.. Peabody and The

The regard Mr.. Peabody holds for the

cause the paper, although the same IN
purpose in its last issue as in tina OF
seventy-five years ago, has kept pace
with all the extraordinary Developments
of these three generations, and instead
of growing old has grown young in en-
