TWAIN'S PARTING JOKE
Mark Tells of His Legal Trou-
bles Over a Contract.

Humorist Confesses He Cannot Fool
Anybody and Tells of His Experi-
ence In Buying an Umbrella From
Stranger whom He Appealed to
For Advice.
Mark Twain, the great humorist has
had the good fortune to be able to bring
all his books under the control Of one
publishing firm. The contract was con-
cluded just before he recently sailed
for italy for the benefit of his wife's
health In q farewell interview he
said, in speaking of the new arrange
ment:
aFor three or four weeks now /
have been bothering over this contract,
fun Of strange things about the party
Of the first part and the party Of the
second part, and have meyer yet been
able to make out whether l was the
party Of the first part, the party Of the
second part or any party at all.
Throughout all these four weeks work
my respect for the Divine Creator has
grown week by week. because, while
1t took us a month to create contract,
he created the world in only six days.

yers an expensive undertaking 1t has
cost me four umbrellas already, to say
nothing of the onslaught upon my
morals / have done nothing but buy
umbrellas and leave them in my law
yer's office. The other day / stopped
at one Of the umbrella counters in a
big downtown Office building, where
there were three piles of umbrellas.
One pile was marked 81, the second
pile 50, and the third pile was marked
So. / did not look beyond the third pile,
because this contract was not vet sign
ed, and l was not certain how much
money | could afford to spend. / said
to the man in charge of the umbrel-
las: I am a stranger from west OF the
Mississippi, all unused to the effete
ways of the east. l came from the
wild and hoping west, and / appeal to
you as man whether, In your iudg-
ment, you being an eastern man and
| a stranger on his first visit to your
g~eal city, you would advise me to buy
this 81 umbrella for 81. the 50 umbrel-
la for 81 or the SO umbrella for So? /
ask you this as a pilgrim and a stran-
ger And the man, looking me
straight in the eye. said, AS man to
man and speaking heart to heart to
you, stranger, l would advise you to
buy the SO umbrella Mr.. Mark

past can't get away from it, even if he
