Mark 1wain's Method of Doing Literary Work;
 Combination of Mental Activity and Physical Relaxation

The master humorist W ho has been masquerading under the pea name of Mark Twain for almost halt centu- ny declares that he has neveg done days work in his life. He declines to look upon his effort to amsise the American punblic and the publics of : various other countries of two gener- atiuus as anything more serious than pla\ Had it been work, he ob- serves suaaciouslN, Ed have had none of it.

 In tha Heht of the great f1tA mtk. CTS known achievements his aSSHN= erotion k rather astounding. It would he perpleXing if one should chance 'o forget for a mament that Mark lW3ih ;s first of all Il humorist. One must 70, t,l,n him too seriously. and when he appears to be in earnest ne must he taken with the most eNtfaofa'iia'F care. Most important of all. no a'- ten,ni must be made to declphef h'' I, ,ef him he his own apolo2lst ana eS9 ;t on at that. Then ii is that IL .a;snoses of his startling assertion which seems to suggest a hle''"'e M -s,ernetual idleness, in this mgeh'0o$ fashion:

The House Consumes High Priced Time on
 Small Matters
The Senate Spends the Days the Subject of Fort- fcations and Decides That the Philippines are not in Need of Any.

Washing ton. Mar. 2O-The house of representatives today did business with microscope in one hand and the bin making appropriation for the salaries of its officers and it's employees in the tother hand. The result was that al- though five and half hours was spent in reading the legislative appropria- tion bill for. amendment. less than twenty-five pages were completed.
 The spirit of economy in little things was all absorbing. Points of order were made and many of them were fatal to the proposed increases in sal aries of officers, janitOrs, door keep CTS, messengers, and IaboIers. A point of order which made the engine room of the house worth S270 a year Instead of $2S0, as proposed, caused a consti- tutional debate of more than an hour 'On the point as to whether the house could do as it saw fit in the matter of fixing the salaries of it's employees
 The conclusion seemed to be that it could, and that it prescribed its own action by it's rules. However, these rules prohibited increasing a salary without provision of law. The final round for the day was a debate as to whether the house could get as good packing boxes as the senate did for it's members, and finally a move was made to eliminate packing boxes en- tirely from the perquisites of the mem. bers, which failed.

ROBBERY
 OF RUSSIAN BANK
A Moscow Institution DeSpOiled of a
 Half Million.

Moscow, Mar. 2O.-The Credit Mutu. al, one of the largest banks in Mos COW, was mysteriously robbed by masked men at dusk tonight, the rob. bers securing $432,000. It was an unu. sually daring job. The facts already developed raise the question whether the robbery was committed by or un. der the direction of some one at pres. ent or previously employed in the bank
 According to the story of the guards. in the twinkling of an eye they were confronted with revolvers in the hands of twenty masked men, who had enter. ed silently by the main door. which had been locked when the office force left. After command to the guards to hold up their hands, not a ward was spoken. The guards were quickly bound and gagged and thrown into a dark corner. The robbers then took up positions at all the entrances, and the curtains of the windows were low. cred. The chief of the robbers. who directed the operations of his asso. ciates by gestures and without speak. ing, showed familiarity with the loca. tion of the vaults. When all was ready he went to the heavy burglar proof safe, and with a few twirls of the knob threw the combination of the lock. the HSdNy uOOT swung open ana the Ifea5- ure of the bank was revealed.
 The plumber. consisting of gold. sil. yer. and notes, was speedily thrust into sacks. When d clean haul of the money had been made, not a kopeck being left, the robbers departed as silently as they came, making their exit through the main entrance and leaving no trace behind them. They had been in the bank less than half an hour.
