The Decadent London Tailor.

Do you want some clothes made in
London? You go to a first rate tailor
and are deliberately measured and cross
measured The cloth is excellent, the
price moderate, as compared with New
York. You are requested to call and try
them on in three days. You come to be
tried on and find that the clothes are
basted together and that the fit is
merely a preliminary one. The basting
is all ripped open, and you are pinned
up again. The tailor expresses no sur
prise that his work is badly done. He
does not know that it is a wretched
job.
You call after long interval and
try them on again. The sleeves are an
inch too long, the collar fits as though
it were made for horse, the jacket
is tight across the chest and obviously
intended for a fat man around the
belt
You ask If he did really take meas
urements in the first instance. The
tailor complacently rips up all his
seams again and once more proceeds to
make chalk marks all over you and in
sert number of pins.
You are inclined to use profane Ian

Mark Twain was hack writer in San

Joaquin Miller serving on the same
staff with like pay. A woman of means
who patronized Bohemia and gave the
impecunious .strugglers many a good
dinner saw Mark Twain, thinly clad
and imperfectly shod, standing with a
cigar box under his arm and looking
hungrily in at a confectioner's window.
The patroness Of letters asked what
was in the box. "Oh," drawled the

frowned, then Terril thought hard and
tore up his carefully worded report. He
rewrote it quite as carefully and wound
up with, "In view Of the foregoing

to have none but the governments

However, Terril had been obliged to
