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 he was playing Tom Sawyer
there in real life.
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 figurative fine-tooth
comb and got dry haul for his pains.
Then, recalling that Mark Twain was
getting his honorary degree that very
day in his native hamlet it occurred to
him that a message direct from the
famous author might relieve the situ-
alton in the news. After much scratch
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 over
the wire from Missouri:
1T feels like emancipation from ig-
norance and vice. MARK TWAIN"

I've spoken to you about so often.

Carter grumbled something mar

casionally his parents surveyed one
another questioningly. There was a
strange atmosphere about Carter
Some OF his friends happened in that
evening and the young man quite dis
t.nguished himself as a host.
He's changing" said his mother.
But l don't understand why. 1t Is
certainly queer. 1t isn't like Carter!"
When the elder Dibby, glancing at
his son the next evening from over his
paper, caught a remarkable glisten on
that youths hitherto carlessly kept

evidently troubled face.

his son did not hear him. Garter

ried.

countenance as he bent tenderly over
the attractive specimen of femininity

The Reformation
of Garter

There was no denying that Carter
was a trial to his mother.
Mrs. Dibby never had quite become
reconciled to the astonishing fact that
her son had grown up a brawny six
footer by the time he was 1S, with
large hands and terrific breadth OF
shoulder However, she might have
endured this had he been neater and
more orderly, but life to Mrs. Dibby
meant constant trotting around after
Carter, picking up things and straight
ening the disarray he left in his wake
IF l did not watch him." Mrs. Dibby
would mourn, that boy just as likely
as not would wear a gray tie with a
brown suit. and he never, never brush
es his things! Wrinkles in coat
mean less than nothing to him. He is
absolutely hopeless in a social sense.
He never will get over being awkward
and Ill at ease in parlor and he says
he is bored to death by parties. All he
cares about is football and baseball
and scores. That | should have such
a SOM"
After 1S years of this 1t was be-
wildering shock to Mrs. Dibby one day
to find her son standing before his mir
ror scowling at his necktie. That he
should even take the trouble to look In
a glass to tie 1t was remarkable
e..ough, but his plain dissatisfaction
with the result was epic.
1T looks very nice, Carter" said his
mother.
Carter began taking off the blue tie.
II think I'll wear the one with the
dots" he murmured, half to himself.
Mrs. Dibby went downstairs rapidly,
and on arriving in quiet corner sat
down abruptly. Carter certainly looked
rugged and healthy, so after ten min
utes of wondering she decided that he
was not going to be i'll. Thereupon
she dismissed the matter from her
mind. When she found him polishing
his shoes the next day, however, she
was startled.
Does your head ache, dear?" she in
quired.
Never felt better. Where's dads
shoe brush?"
When he came down to dinner that
night Carter, probably for the first
time in his life, walked down the stairs
