MARK TWAIN BUYS A FINE HOUSE
ON THE HUDSON NEAR ROCKEFELLER

us out. so I promptly looked around for
something else.
If Mark Twain could have looked into
the future in the year 1895 and seen that
he would one day be the owner of
country seat on the Hudson, his optimism
under the tidal wave Of financial troubles
that overwhelmed him at that time could
have been better understood.
AS the story was told to the writer by
S. Z. Moffett, the nephew Of Mark Twain.
q hundred thousand dollars worth Of in
debtedness was paid off in two years.
When the author returned to his admir-
ing countrymen he did so not only free
from debt. but with bright financial pros
poets. How he has prospered since is
evidenced by the purchase OF the new
house, which IS to be enlarged and i'm
proved to make it one of the handsomest
residences on the Hudson. The view from
the veranda is magnificent. The house
being built on an eminence, there is moth
ing to obStruct the sight between the
grounds and the hills on the further ba mi.
Of the great river. On fine days the viii
lagos nesting In the valleys across the
Hudson are in plain view, and the noble
river and its numerous craft, the wooded
heights and the handsome summer homes
combine to make a picture UNSURPASSED in
any part of the country.
The house is picturesque three-story
structure, gabled prettily. It stands on
the very spot where in Revolutionary DAYS
beacon lights were burned to warn the
countryside of the approach of the British
A monument to these stirring times is q
