AN EARLY CALL.
Mark Twain's Story About His Alb

Mark Twain's Story About His Alb
sentminded Brother.
One bitter December night Orion
Mark Twain's brother) sat up reading
until o'clock in the morning and then,
without looking at clock, sailed forth
to call on young lady He hammered
and hammered at the door; couldn't
get any response; didn't understand it.
Anybody else would have regarded
that as an indication of some kind or
other and would have drawn infer
ences and gone home, but Orion didn't
draw differences. He merely hammered
and hammered, and finally the father
of the girl appeared at the door in a
dressing gown. He had candle in
his hand, and the dressing gown was
all the clothing he had on, except an
expression Of welcome, which was so
thick and SO large that it extended all
down his front to his instep and nearly
obliterated the dressing gown. But
Orion didn't notice that this was an
unpleasant expression. He merely
walked in. The old gentleman took
him into the parlor, set the candle on
a table and stood. Orion made the
usual remarks about the weather and
sat down-sat down and talked and
talked and went on talking, that old
man looking at him vindictively and
waiting for his chance, waiting treach-
erously and Indignantly for his chance.
Orion had not asked for the young
lady. It was not customary. 1t was
understood that a young fellow came
to see the girl of the house. not the
founder of 1t. At last Orion got up
and made some remark to the effect
that probably the young lady was
busy and he would go now and call
again. That was the old mans chance,
and he said with fervency, "Why, good
land, aren't you going to stop to break
fast?" - Mark Twain's Autobiography
In North American Review.

why SILHOUETTE.
A Curious Bit Of History Wrapped
Up In the Word.

A Curious Bit Of History Wrapped
Up In the Word.
The making Of silhouettes can hard
" be classed among the lost arts, since
there is SO little art about them. The
best of them represent the human pro
file in crude way, and they were re-
garded as rather cheap kind of pic
lures even in the days when they were
most popular. Indeed, the very word
silhouette means something poor and
cheap. and it had it's origin in Il spirit
of ridicule. 1t is taken from Etienne
de Silhouette, who was French cab
met minister in the year 1850, when
because of costly wars with Britain
and Prussia and by the extravagances
of the government. When Etienne de
Silhouette became minister of finance
he set about making great reforms In
the public expenditures. He was by
nature very "close" man, and he
went to such extremes in keeping
down the public expenses that he
brought great ridicule upon himself.
and finally anything that was cheap
and poor was referred to as la Sill
houette.
A very crude picture was popular at
that time. It was made b. tracing the
shadow or profile Of face projected
by the light of candle on sheet Of
white paper and the outline defined
with a pencil This was such a very
poor and cheap sort Of picture that
it was at once called silhouette in
further derision of the very saving
French minister, and the name has
'sstuck." 1t is an instance Of the Curl
GUS derivation of some words in COM
mon use, and this unkind slur on a
man who was really trying to intro
duce needed reforms in the spending
of the public money has long been ac-
cepted as good and proper word. In
deed, there is no other word used for
pictures Of this kind, although there
were such pictures long before NJ. Eli
enne de Silhouette had his name at
tached to them in so embarrassing
way.-Morris Wade in Century.

makes for this happy old couple
seventy years of life in that place,

the church. They have been married
sixty eight years, and the old gentle
man has for siXty-one years been a

ninety-seven years OF age. His
family numbers ll2, and he says that
he has never worn glasses all day il

so until they are certain there Is
something more than talk behind the

indifferent to the requests of the com

men are not indifferent they want to
be shown. Until the promoter. Will
