been an unfortunate mistake. Mr.. Slee
had evidently supposed / had money,

her leave, we would abide with her a
week, and then she could keep my
trunk and we would hunt another
place. Then the battalion Of ambushed
friends and relatives burst in ON us,

MARK TWAIN AT SEVENTY
Age Dean of American Humorists
Shows Comes from Efforts
to Be Serious.

~AMUEL LANGHORNE GLEN
EMS, better known as Mark
Twain and generally regarded
as the dean of American humor-
lists. W. seventy years of age on
the 3Oth cs November. He was born
In Florida, Mo-, In 1895. 1t IS an old
belief that there Is nothing like laugh
ing to keep a man young. and the
friends of Mr.. Clemens have some
times congratulated him on the fact
that Joke making has not apparently
been to him q wearing occupation. 1t
has been suggested that what age he
shows has come perhaps from the ef-
forts Of the humorist to be serious.
Mr.. Clemens never graduated from
q college, but Yale has made him a
doctor of literature and the University
OF Missouri has conferred upon him
the degree Of doctor Of laws. The hu-
morist has said that these degrees
greatly increased his respect for him
self.
Mr.. Clemens has been In numerous
occupations. He has been printer. pi-
lot on Mississippi river steamers, sol
dier of the south for three weeks
only. private secretary, miner, editor,
publisher, humorist and historian. In
all except the last two he fell short Of
brilliant success.
In 1910 at Elmira, N. T., Mr.. Clemens
married Miss Olivia L. Langdon- She
died not long ago. Some years since
the humorist was a guest at a dinner
In Buffalo, where he nee edited a
newspaper, and he told a story Of his
experiences In connection with his
wedding journey. Il notice many
changes since l was a citizen Of Buff
