fWAIN's PARTING JOKE
Mark Tells of His Legal Trou-
 bles Over a Contract.
SAYS HE'S TOO PURE, TOO INNOCENT

Humorist ConfesRes He Cannot Fool
 ence I'm Buying an Umbrella From
 a 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 farewell interview he said, in speaking of the new arrange ment:
 For three or four weeks now I have been bothering over this contract, full of strange things about the party of the first part and the party of the second part, and have never yet been able to make out whether I 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 it took us a month to create contract, he created the world in only six days.
 II have found this dealing with law yers an expensive undertaking. It 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 big downtown office building, where there were three piles of umbrellas One pile was marked $1, the second pile $2, and the third pile was marked $3 did not look beyond the third pile, because this contract was not yet sign. ed, and I was not certain how much money could afford to spend. I 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. I came from the wild and hoping west, and appeal to you as a man whether, in your judg- 'ment, you being an eastern man and I a stranger on his first visit to your great city, you would advise me to buy this $1 umbrella for $1, the $2 umbrel. h for $2 or the $3 umbrella for $3? ask you this as 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, I would advise you to buy the $3 umbrella-Mr. Mark Twain
 Which shows that a man with a past can't get away from it, even if he has become honest enough to buy his own umbrellas. That is the trouble with me. l can't fool anybody. am too pure, too innocent Everybody takes advantage of my innocence. It Is a mighty good thing I was not born girl.

SIR HENRY IRVING

It was expected, of course, that the sale of seats would be very large to- day for Sir Henry Irving's first Wa terbury engagement tomorrow evening at Polls, and it was. So large, indeed, that late corners will probably find themselves outside the breastworks when the curtain goes up on Water loo'' and "The. Bells" the double bill in which Mir Irving will appear. As already told. the performance will be given with the full strength of MT Irving's London company and with all the properties and incidentals used in the production at the Lyceunl theater In London. The orchestra will be in- creased to fourteen pieces, thus mak- ing the elaborate entr' acte musical nrogram a special feature in itself. Waterbury has certainly never before had the onDortunity to see such q fin- ished artistic performance as this fs sure to be. and the sale Of seats to-day Is such as to indicate that MT Irving and his company will face probably the largest and most fashionable audl- ence that has ever been gathered with Tn the walls of Polis theater. Prices nre 90 cents. $1 $2 and S2.50, and for box seats 8 and S3.

 It may be debatable as to whether the current show at the Jacques is, as many claim, the best that Manager Poli has, given us this season, but there is no debate at all concerning its being thoroughly fine show. There are novelties galore. nearly every act in fact having its features of novelty and originality.

The Smedley Sketch club, who are billed as a special feature, have a novel one act drama entitled '"rhe Little Mother" in which two lit tie boys who are not yet in their teens read with marvellous effectiveness the balcony scene from Romeo and Juliet.

A CENSURE OF THRIFT.
Chicago Woman Calls Economy
 Self crucifixion.
SAYS IT LEADS TO PARsIMoNy.

Mrs. Corinne Brown Declares Thrift
 and Saving Do More Harm Than
 Good ana That They Are Antfsocial.
 What She Thinks of the United
 States Senate.
 "Every time woman sees something she wants to buy for 8 five dollar bill and then puts the greenback back in her purse because she has to save it for bread and butter she crucifes herself 7
 This is what Mrs. Corinne Brown told the members of the Social Econom- ics club at Chicago the other day. Then she added:
 ''And I guess there is not woman in this room who has not crucified her self in this way at some time in her life"
 Mrs. Brown decried thrift and the saving of money and urged that thrifty people never do the world much good.
 Thrift and saving are a menace" /" she urged. They do more harm than good. They are antisocial. Thrift means too often the sacrifice of the best for the lowest. That we are com pelled to practice thrift is no argu- ment for its perpetuation. Thrift can not be practical without injury to oth- CTS, without lowering the standard of living"
 Mrs. John F. Thompson differed with Mrs. Brown and argued that thrift does not mean isarsimony.
 "No," replied Mrs. Brown, .'but it leads to parsimony.'
 A club member urged that Mrs. Brown should call on MT. Rockefeller and make her ideas known to him.
 "Do you regard those who have had all they want as the most successful?' asked a member.
 'That depends upon what you mean by success" replied the speaker. Those who have done the most for humanity have not been thrifty"
 Mrs. Brown spoke of the disappoint- ment she experienced when she visited the United States senate in her youth. She described the senators as feeble old men. who were unable to get to their desks or leave them without as- sistance
 T was told that these old men should be honored for what they had done for their country she continued T think the best thing to do would be to put tnen in a golden cage and let them be honored an hour each day and then give the rule of the country over to younger and more energetic men,

FOUNTAIN PEN PERFECTION.

 Long Felt Want.
(Free Press.)

rec 1.IGSSJ 4 E
 Any reliable time saver is eagerly welcomed by the modern business man, Probably the most forceful illustration Of this condition of things in recent years was the enthusiasm with which the fountain pen was greeted. It seemed to mean the saving of so much time and annoyance for so many people that its sale was simply phenomenal.
 But the fountain pen was not by any means perfect and it's users soon dis covered that the bother was only con- centrated, instead of being dispensed with. The finest fountain pen would write indifferently well as long as there was ink in it. but when that gave out our busy man had to stop. unscrew an inky cap. hunt around for filler and the particular ink recommended by the manufacturers of that particular pen and so on through long process of annoyance.
 The manufacturers Of the Quaker City Self-FiIling Fountain Pen have overcome all this bother and produced q practical writing tool which is as easy to use as if one were simply writ ing with the filler needed for the old pen. There is nothing to unscrew. nothing to squirt. no+hjnc to lose or oet ont Of order.
