Treat Them Gently, He Says, and Don't Fuss With
Them-Gives Notice to Those Who Would
Rob Him in Future

NEW YORK. Sept. l9.-Mark Twain
today was quite delighted with the
burglary of his home. He was in rare
good humor. First he insisted-as is his
wont-that he positively must not be
quoted-that he would not have any quo
tation marks used in reporting him.
And then he settled back in the chair
in the handsome big library Of his resi-
dence and puffed contentedIy on a black
cigar before starting to relate the
story.
He was attired IN a white linen suit
and a white tie and white shirt-sug-
gesting, somehow. a new schooner with
all sails set
Mark Twain said he was very. very
glad to receive bUrgIars-that he had
always found them 70 be most amiable
people, and that he had had so much
experience with them IN his lifetime
that he had come TO like them greatly.
And. father didn't get down stairs
until ages after Il was all over said
Miss Clemens. And then he came
saunterins down at 2 o'clock in the
morning, mind you, In a bath robe,
smoking a pipe and asking what all the
cOmmOtiOn was about
And then ne said that II was silly to
get scared about burglars, and that he
wished they'd be more quiet about il
and not wake people up. He said that
he heard the pistol shots-yOu know
Claude, the butler, shot several times
at the men-but father said that he
didn't know what the sounds We're and
didn't care"
Mr.. Clemens broke in at this tuncture
to say that the sounds reminded him of
popping cOrk5 and that ne had a vague
desire TO join the party, but that he
remembered that ne had a bottle Of
Scotch IN his room and that II would
therefore be very foolish TO 60 down
stairs TO get a drink.
And champagne didn't appeal 20 him
much anyhow. He SAID that If future
robbers would Just DO as ne suggests in
his notice, they won't trouble ANYBODY
IN the house; and while they'll get no
profit they'll suffer no losses. He added
that he had never met a. burglar that
bothered him. especially if the burglar
VAS thoughtful enough to leave the
premises two or three hours before he
CTWain) knew he was around.
Then Mark Twain, shaking his snow
capped dome, Sagely stated thai il he
were 10 wake up and and a burElar in
MS room he'd invite him 10 have q
drink. make himself at home. and that
he would tell Mr.. Burglar 10 take what
he wanted and go away and let other
folks sleep. Why fuss with a burglar?

Forests in Nine Counties Are
Being Devastated by
Roaring Fires.
ONLY DRIVING RAIN
CAN AVERT DANGER
Hundreds OF Men Fighting to Save
Their Homes From What Seems
to Be Certain Destruction.

AUGUSTA. Ne. Sept. "a slight
cessation OF the wind caused a check
in the rapid spread uf the fires that are
devastating nine counties OF Maine to-
day, but there Will be no hope Of eX-
tinguishing them until rain comes to
aid the hundreds Of men fighting 70
save their homes
At present all efforts OF the fire
fighters are bent 20 keep the flames
from the towns IN their course. In this
way they have been, in the main, sue
cessfu!. Isolated dwellings, and barns
have been consumed. but IN no cases
have the fires yet invaded a closely set
tled town. and there is no report Of
loss OF life.
Scarcely a section of the state is IN
affected. except some of the coast sec
tions which are more or less cleared
A rough estimate OF the damage gives
a total OF $1,000, but this includes the
wild lands only
The loss inside the incorporated towns
is estimated at $150,000 all on wood
lands.

Commissioner Macfarland, in COM
menting upon tn sction Of the board.
said tCday;
The tax payer should not be called
upon to pay one dollar Tor hospital
treatment Of anyone who IS able to pay
for that treatment. Under the old sys-
TEN OF making lump appropriations for
hospitals, many persons obtained free
treatment at public expense who We're
perfectly able 70 pay for IT, The whole
matter was thoroughly discussed by
Congress and IL was decided that only
in the case Of actually INDECENT persons
should free treatment be given That
decision, in my Judgment. viii never
be reversed Experience has shown that
all who are proper charges upon the
public receive al necessary treatment,
and that none others No one Is denied
emergency or other treatment, but IL
is not paid for by the public except
when the patient cannot pay for It"
The action Of the Board Of Charities,
il is sad. does not meet with the ap-
Yr0val Of the hospital authorities
While admitting that he might al some
future time be able 10 pay for the treat
ment. Rose declares that he has been
under heavy expense. and during ms
illness has accumulated bills which
must be paid without delay.

I have not made a personal investi-

supervision of the Board Of Charities,
appropriations are made fer the care
OF INDECENT patients. and II rests with
the board as 10 who shall receive free
