TWAIN WANTED TO BE A PILOT.
Sad Ending to Cherished Ambition OF

Sad Ending to Cherished Ambition OF
the Noted Humorist.
An interesting yarn recently spun by
an old st. Louis riverman seems TO be
a solution to the long mooted question
as TO why Mark Twain never followed
out his cherished ambition of becoming
a Mississippi river pilot.
According to the old man Mark Twain
never became full-fedged pilot and
never stood night watch alone. In
other words, while he had a pilots Ii
cense, his mastery Of the great river
craft on which he rode was always linn
tied by the understanding that an older
and more experienced head was within
easy call. This was no dlscredlt to the
young pilot ON the occasion IN ques-
ton. il matters not what the year or
boat, the steamer TO which young Glenn
ems was attached as cub pilot was
bound up stream with a heavy cargo of
cotton. At the officers table the first
day out from Nachez, Miss, the talk
turned upon what to do in sudden emer-
gencies, and especially in case of fire
on steamer loaded with cotton. The
matter was discussed in all Its bear
ings, each Of those present giving his
ideas upon the subject. Mark Twain,
like most Of the others, held to the no.
