World Is His Home. i

about midway between the two forks
Of Salt river. This noble stream, cele-
brated in politics, runs into the Missis-
sippi river just above Louisiana, Mo-,
in Pike county. Down at Its mouth it
is wide enough to make an impression
and deep enough to fish In, but up
above It's fork 1t is merely couple of
silvery streaks. Yet Florida was locat-
ed between the forks because the pie-
neers imagined that Salt river was
navigable for steamboats, or could be
made so and with boat traffic touching
both sides the town would become
metropolis. There never was water
enough to float a washtub, and that Is
why the Clemens family finally moved
away and most Of the other people
vanished.
Mark Twain's first home. where he
was born, was q small one story house.
Opinions are divided as to whether It
still stands. Some persons aver that
it was chopped up for stove wood years
ago and burned In the larger house
which now occupies the site. Others
declare that the original house, like the
star spangled banner, Is still there
His Boybood Home.
But the one really important Mark
Twain home in Missouri, the house as
ISOLATED with his boyhood, Ia still In a
fine state Of preservation and still oc.
cupied. It stands smack up against

+ n K ARK TWAIN Is going to settle

II SO himself. and when was he
known to tell lie? He Is not
even on the official administration list
Of Ananiases. He has spent fully for
ty years telling the serious, sober truth
in his own way, and when he makes
the solemn declaration that he is go
ing to build home at certain spot
and stay there 1t behooves the public
to give him the benefit Of the doubt.
For nearly seventy years Mark Twain
has been q wanderer. He was forci-
bly, removed from the place Of his
birth at the tender age Of three by be-
ing carried In arms to q farm wagon
that was bound to another town with
the Clemens household goods. The ex-
ample thus set him by bis elders he
has been unable to resist, 80 ever since
about 1888 he has been moving. Now
and then he has tried to settle down.
He has made brave efforts In that d.
rection, but always the pesky little mi
crobe of wanderlust has stirred him to
be up and away. In his time he has
enjoyed living at many places, but al
ways he has preferred somewhere else.
Mark Twain has been a constitution
al tramp all his life. He was actually
tramp printer In his later boyhood,
though by no means one Of the pan
handling sort Throughout his more

Where He VIM Settle Down.

SO Mark Twain has settled down at
last said the public when he took
this house. But once again the public
reckoned without It's guest. Marx
Twain was born In the country, Or
practically 50, and now in his seventy
second year the country entices him
again. SO he has purchased farm In
Connecticut near West Redding and is
preparing TO build a house there and
settle down. II 10 averred very stoutly
By those who know him best that he
really means 1t this time.
M The new house will combine several
European ideas with some American
notions Of architecture. b
The farm has $50 acres--large enough
for wandering around Ii. But Marx
Twain ID welcome to the rest Of Con-
necticut and the world outside, and no
bars win be set against his wandering.
The world Is his home. His humor
and philosophy have made II a filter
place for human life than 1t used 10 be.

MARK TWAIN AT HIS BoYHoOD HOME IN HANNIBAL, MO
Drawn from photograph Loyel

the brick sidewalk on Hill street In
Hannibal. This set forth Of my own
knowledge, for on Memorial day Of
1902 Mark Twain himself positively
identified and acknowledged 1t, and /
took a photograph Of the wanderer
standing at the front door OF his old
home. The illustration on this page
is redrawn from that photograph. That
was the occasion Of the humorist's lat
est and perhaps last visit TO bis boy
hood home and haunts. It was the st.
Louis PostD Dispatch and not mere curl
osity that was responsible for my pres
ence In Hannibal at the time. I am
positive that 1t was Mark Twain who
stood at the door Of the old house, for
I went up on the train with him and
witnessed his signature, rs. L. Glenn
ems" on the hotel register, heard him
ask for asroom with private bath and
heard the clerk inform him that he
might have room near the bathroom,
but the bath was not private.
Mark Twain lived In that house a
dozen years or more before he began
to rove again, and after that at inter
walls for z few years he reappeared.
Then for nearly iafty years he never
spent more than day at time In
Hannibal until the occasion mentioned,
when he went back and paid the old
town visit Of nearly week.
The house stands q block or 30 up
from the Mississippi river. Tom Saw
yer; who was Sam Clemens, could slide
out Of his back yard and into the back
gard Of Huck Finn, whose family name
was Blankenship. without leaving the
block. Huck lived on the next street

PASSING OF THE pRAM.sHoP.

Not infrequently we hear an adj
vocy Of the better regulation of the
liquor question BY the better regula-
tion of saloons and the well-enforced
provisions Of high license system.
While there are arguments to be
made in favor of a well-regulated
system Of liquor selling in preference
to system which permits blind pigs
and places with no regulation at all,
IT. is a fact that in many places the
systems for the regulation of the Ii
quor traffic do not regulate, through
the deliberate refusal Of the saloon
men themselves to be regulated. An
established organ of the liquor in
dustry, Bonfort's Wine and Spirit
Circular, has frankly announced that
If there is one thing that seems
settled beyond all question, it is that
the retail liquor trade Of this coun-
try must either mend its ways ma
terially, or be prohibited in all
places save the business and tender
loin precincts of our large cities
While there are everywhere some
.scrupulous men in the business of
liquor selling, it would certainly be
hard to produce evidence that the
dram-shop, as an institution, either,
appreciates or accepts the RESPONSE.
bifity Of being put on it's good be-
havior. We may instance the cases
of Vermont and New Hampshire.
After state prohibition was repealed
a large proportion Of the towns voted
to give the saloon a chance. If ever
there was an occasion for restraint
and decent conduct 1t was this. Yet,
after the trial, more towns every
year have gone back to a local .sdry"
policy.
