rlark Twain's Story of
His Life.

Mark Twain refuses to let his cap
tivating autobiography be published
In book form until after his death, but
journalistic enterprise has come to
the rescue, and we are SO have Marks
masterpiece after all. He has con-
sented to let it appear as serial. 1t
has been secured at enormous cost by
the Sunday Magazine of The Chicago
Record Herald, which has name for
capturing big prizes of this sort, such
as Conan Doyle's "Sir Niger' and
KIpling's "Sons of Martha +"
Thus it ia Is out that the readers of
the Sunday Record Herald are to
have delightful treat witeout extra
cost. For months to come Mark
Twain Will go on telling in his droll
way abont the famous people he has
NEE, how he came to create Co'onel
Sellers and Tom Sawyer, and all the
funny that have happened to him.
The whole is TO be profusely illustrat-
ed. Toe first installment-in the
issue OF Oct. 27-is accompanied by a
magnificent portrait of the humorist.
Everybody who likes Mark Twain will
want to read this great biography.

A Nations Strength.

What builds "a nations pillars high
And its foundations strong?
What makes 1t mighty to defy
The foes that round 1t throng?
1t is not gold. It's kingdoms grand
Go down in battles shock;
It's gates are laid on sinking sand.
Not on abiding rock.
Is II the sword? Ask the red dust
OF empires passed away.
The blood has turned their stones to
rust,
Their glory to decay.
And is II pride7 All that bright crown
Has seemed to nations sweet!
But God has struck it's luster down
In ashes at his feet.
Not gold, but only man. can make
A people great and strong;
Men who for truth and honor's sake
Stand fast and suffer long.
Brave men, who work while others
sleep,
Who dare while others fly
They build a nations pillars deep
And lift them to the sky.
Emerson.

The Old Clock on the Stair.

The Old Clock on the Stair.
Somewhat back from the village street
Stands the old fashioned country seat.
Across its antique portico
Tall poplar trees their shadows throw,
And from its station in the hall
An ancient timepiece says to all;
"Forever-never!
Never-foreverW
Halfway up the stairs II stands
And points and beckons with It's hands
From its case of massive oak,
Like a monk. who under his cloak
Crosses himself and sighs. alas.
With sorrowful voice 10 all who pass;
"Forever-never!
Never-forever"
BY day It's voice Is low and light.
But In the silent dead Of night
Distinct as q passing footsteps fall
1t echoes along the vacant hall,
Along the ceiling, along the floor,
And seems to say at each chamber door:
"Forever-neverI
Never-foreverp
Through days Of sorrow and Of mirth.
Through days of death and days Of birth.
Through every swift vicissitude
OF changeful time unchanged 1t has stood,
And as If. like God. It all things saw.
1t calmly repeats those words Of awe:
"Forever-never!
Never-forever!'
In that mansion used to be
Free hearted Hospitality.
His great fires up the chimney roared.
The stranger feasted at his board,
But, like the skeleton at the feast,
That warning timepiece never ceased
"Forever-never!
Never-forever!"
There groups of merry children played.
There youths and maidens dreaming
strayed.
o precious hours! o golden prime,
An ahluence Of love and time!
Even as a miser counts his gold,
Those hours the ancient timepiece told
"Forevcr-never!
Never-forever!'
From that chamber. clothed In white,
The bride came forth on her wedding
night
There in that silent room below
The dead lay in his shroud of snow,
And In the hush that followed the prayer
Was heard the old clock on the stair:
"Forever-never!
Never-forever!'
All are scattered now and fed.
Some are married some are dead,
And when l ask, with throbS or pain,
"Ah, when shall they all meet againT'
AS In the days long since gone by.
The ancient timepiece makes reply.
"Forever-never!
Never-forever!"
Never here, forever there,
Where all parting. pain and care
And death and time shall disappear
Forever there, but never here!
The horologue OF eternity
Sayeth this necessarily:
"Forever-never!
Never-forever!
-Longfellow.

A Days WAGE.

Love wore a suit of holden gray
And toiled within the fields all day.
Love welded pick and carried pack
And bent to heavy loads the back.
Though meager fed and sorely dashed.
The only wage love ever asked
A child's wan face to kiss at night.
A woman's smile by candlelight.

The vine.

The wine Of Love IS music,
And the feast of Love Is song,
And when Love sits down to the banquet
Love sits long
Sits long and arises drunken,
But not with the feast and the wine:
He reeleth with his own heart
That great rich vine.

Memory.

My mind let's go thousand things.
Like dates Of wars and deaths Of kings
And yet recalls the very hour
Twas noon by yonder village tower
And on the last blue noon In May
The wind came brislkly up this way,
Crisping the brook beside the road;
Then, pausing here. set down it's load
OF pine scents and shook listlessly
Two petals from that wild rose tree.

II Is quite probable that the experience
of one woman who collects antique fur
niture and old blue china will not soon
again be equalled. She lives in q good
sized city in New York state and when
there came to town a man from New Eng
land with fine collection OF old mahogany
she and all her friends invested. The
woman in question particularly admired
a grandfather's clock. 1t was a fine old
specimen of Colonial furniture and It some
how appealed particularly to her, but the
price was more than she felt she could
afford. The first day she didn't buy IL, but
went home to think 1t over, with the re-
suit that the following morning she pur-
chased the coveted article. After its ar
rival at her home she began investigating
the new purchase. when what was her
surprise to discover that the name painted
inside the clock was that of her own great
grandfather. who had lived in Roxbury.
Mass. He was not the maker, but the
former owner. as she afterward discovered,
and now she doesn't wonder that she was
so closely drawn to the old timepiece.

There is woman in Washington who
loves her husband devotedly, reports tho
Washington Herald. He has a good many
diversions which she does not share, but
this is not because the bond between them
is at all strained. but because she is a
domestic little body to whom the nreside
has the greatest attraction. 1t Is her par
ticular delight to keep this burning brightly
for his Homecoming. When he does not
return at those allotted moments when the
inward promptings of the mere man are
supposed to send all husbands home to the
mistresses OF their hearths and dinner
tables, she frets exceedingly. At the
thought OF his missing a good warm meal,
her solicitude for him is apt to express
itself In tones OF gentle worrimcnt. not
shared, however, by other members Of the
family.
