Clemens sent to the editor of the Tribune
this note:

Dear Sir: ! believe that the original OF

In the preface to THE Adventures OF Tom
Sawyer" Mr.. Clemens wrote: Most OF the
adventures recorded in this book really o.
Cured; ono or two were experiences of my
own, the rest those OF boys who were
schooimates of mine. Huck Finn is drawn
from life; Tom Sawyer also, but not from
an Individual; he is a combination OF the
characteristics of three boys whom knew,
and therefore belongs to the composite Or
der OF architecture"
The same characters also appear in the
later volume, "Huckleberry Finn"
Since then the world has been guessing
who Huck Finn is and thus far with poor
results. From time TO time reports have
been circulated that this or that man was
the original of the character, but both Tom
Sawyer and Huck Finn have maintained a
silence as complete and effective as II they
had formed compact like that described
in Tom Sawyer" when. after witnessing
the murder In the graveyard at night, they
signed a pact, written on a shingle in
blood prtcked from Toms finger and read
ing in this wise 'Huck Finn and Tom
Sawyer swears they will keep mum about
this and they wish they may Drop down
dead in their Tracks IL they ever tell and
Rot"
Now, why should that worthy western
magistrate who really was Huck persist ia
living an obscure life when he might win
worldwide notoriety and get his picture In
the Sunday paper by simply revealing his
identity? Speak up, Huck Hundreds OF
thousands Of warm friends, as yet I'M
known TO you, arc waiting to welcome you.

INTERCHANGE OF CARS.
Freight Car shortage Result of EasterT
 mOpOly.

Kansas, City, Dec. 2l.---At the ccnclu- sion of the inquiry in the question Of freight car shortage in the west be- fore Commissioner Prouty of the ln- terstate Commerce Commission, which ended here tonight.i the commissioner. shippers and railroad representatives agreed that ail parties concerned would be greatly benefited ana present condt- tons relieved if free interchange of cars among railroad companies could
 be brought about.
 This solution was first suggested by the shippers. was approved by Com missioner Prouty and was endorsed by the railroad mon at the nearing. It Is stated that western railway lines generally favor free interchange of 1 freight cars, but that eastern roads have refused to enter into such an | agreement. The reason for this difiicul- l ty, 1t Is said, is that eastern railroads
 ars profting by present conditions and
 are using many thousand cars belong ling to western railroaus and their own equipment as we'll, causing serious shortage to exist in the west and south
 After the hearing Commissioner Prcuty said
 "An interchange of cars by all the | railroads would do away with much of
 the shipping trouble. And, then this Icountry is long way from New York Oficers of railroads are not thorough fly familiar with conditions here They are inclined to make money first and
 consider the public later."r \

 Chicago, Dec. 21.S-Iuterstate Com merce Commissioners Harlan and Lane concluded their inquiry in this city Into the causes of the car shortages today and left for Washington. The witness es summoned today gave evidence simi- lar to that recited yesterday. No addi- tionaI facts were obtained. It Is prob able that testimony will be taken at Galveston fin January regarding the congestion of cars at the Gulf ports.
 The remedies suggested by witnesses during the hearing for the relief of the car situation were in effect as follows:
 "The establishment of car clearing house with every railroad in the coun- try a member, so that freight car would be at home at any time and avail able for use whenever unloaded.
 Increase of the perdiem charge to railroads for retaining foreign cars be- yond a specified time limit
 Adoption of a reciprocal demurrage law requiring railroads to pay a pen- alty for failure to furnish cars to ship peFs within a reasonable time from the date they are expected.
 Reduction of the free time allowed shippers to unload cars

Paris, Dec. 2i.--The galleries and benches in the chamber of deputies wore crowded today when the govern- ment's bill amending the church and state separation law Of iaC5 was called up. All the members or tho cabinet were present.
 Some nervousness prevailed on ac- count or the attitude of the followers of cx-Premicr Eombes as a result of the incident in the chamber of depu- ties last night, whom NJ. Pel1etan. rad- lcal socia list. demanded time to dis cuss the report of the committee on the new bill which drew forth sharp reply from Permier IIemenccau, re- garding friends and pretended friends. Many persons believed that the Combes party was secretly ready If the oppor- tunity offered. to prccipitate minis terinfe crisis.
 The National and Royaiists groups having decided fin advance not to tako part in the debate, contentcd themsef- Nes with deposlting formal protest to which fifty-four signasures were at tached, expressing the upinion that restoration of religious peace in France could only be brought about by the re- establishment of the unlon of church and state.
 @fA~ SElH0siNiVu- SBGukfTS were the first to address the Chamber, NM. La : sles and Raiberti arguing that the least the Government could accord tho Cler- tcalS was the inclusion in the new law of distinct provision that only rpiests having ecclesiastical authorization should be allowed to conduct public worship in the churches, while ex-Pre, mier Ribot, amid applause from the right severely criticised the Govern mtnt's ''precipitate change of position l after promising to leave the church | open for public worship and to allow a ! year grace for the final devoiutIon ot church property.
