Twain Emancipated.

Oxford University is not the only
seat of learning that has conferred an
honorary degree on Mark Twain. A
similar tribute was paid to the famous
humorist and philosopher not so many
years ago by humble institution at a
sleepy Missouri village that had
known him when Ne was playing Tom
Sawyer there IN real life, says the
New York Times
1t happened that the degree-confer-
ring ceremonies took place one lazy
day in June when newspapers general
ly were suffering from a total collapse
of everything in the way of news.
One Park Row news editor raked
the land with a figurative fine-tooth
comb and got a dry haul for his plans.
Then. recalling that Mark Twain was
getting his honorary degree that very
day in his native hamlet 1t occurred to
him that a message direct from the ia
nous author might relieve the situa-
ton in the news. After much search
ing of the editorial idea factory he
evolved this query, which was trans
mitted to Mark Twain by wire:
How does it feel to be a doctor OF
laws? Please wire answer at our ex
pense."
After a wait of several hours this
characteristic response came hot ovel
the wire from Missouri:
ut feels like emancipation from ig
norance and vice. Mark Twain.

HumbIine a Princess.

One night John Sharp Williams,
while student at Heidelberg, Ger

function at which the guest of honor
was dark-skinned princess alleged
to hail from one Of the South Sea ISL
ands. This princess was magnificently
bedecked and bejeweled, and her warm
olive complexion, set off by mass of
black, kinky hair, sparkling eyes,.
made her the center of attraction and
the reigning belle of the function. The
masculine-like Germans swarmed
about her like bees around a honey
suckle vine. and even Dutch femininity
could not discount the charm of her
manner or the beauty of her person.
John Sharp was introduced, of
course, and-immediately upon obtain

Panic-stricken and with all her self

she heard the familiar intonation of
the Southerner, and looked into his I'M
relenting face. Then she stammered:

pitiful plea of Southern negress in a
faraway land and permitted her to con.

lis way toward Sixth avenue. when it encountered
an ice wagon rafting leisurely along in the same
direction. At the same time surface car crossed
Broadway its way east. Apparently not seeing
the taxi-cab the driver OF the ice pulled his
team into the curb to get out of the way of the
car crowding the taxi-cab the sidewalk The
chauffeur in his attempt get out of the way OF
the ice wagon. let the taxi-cab escape from his
control and it crashed into the store OF French,

display hardly had time TO jump when the ma
chine poked nose in among them
The machine was badly disfgured from the en-
counter and the first thing the chauffeur did after
he backed into the street was TO shake his fist in
the iceman.s face and dare him 10 get down from
the seat The challenge quickly accepted, and
the spectators formed ring when the two men,
having removed their coats INDUCED in some choice
,,nnercuts until the arrival of the police. The fight
vas witnessed by about two thousand persons, who
blocked the sidewalk and climbed stairways and
other vantage points.
