Although Swift did his best work after

an.hropic. His soul burned itself out
with remorse. The last four years of his

button he deserved came from inward
rather than outward causes. He was
ha~assed by periodical attacks of acute

gradually yielded and before his death
he became an utter imbecile. He seemed

HOME OF HUCK FINN
HOUSE WHERE MARK TWAlN'S
HERO LIVED TORN DOWN.
Hannibal. Mo-, Where Place Stood,
Unconscious of Its Greatness
Anecdote of House and of
the Two Mark Twains.

Hannibal. Mo.-Huckleberry Finn's
ancient habitation in North Hannibal.
near the river front has passed from
the earth. Since Hannibal has admit
ted that Mark Twain was really
great man it has taken particular
pride in the "hoary-headed" domicile
and the revenue derived from post
cards showing the structure would
have built a much better house. r.
H. Coons, the owner of the property,
recently had the "Huck' Finn home
torn down to erect a row of modern
flats, which will have, it is hoped, a
livening effect on the somewhat
dreamy district of North Hannibal.
4 characteristic story is told in con-
nection with the house. One summer
day a gentleman from the east came
TO Hannibal to secure data for a
Mark Twain story He could find Hol-
liday hill easily enough without a
Euide, because it lowered up to the
SKY on the north end and prevented
the towns further extension unless
the good citizens take q notion 10 tun-
mel.
An Ice man was asked for the direc-
tion to Huck Finn's cottage.
Never heard of him." said the ma
tive. "Ho sure don't live in these
parts"
The stranger went west block and
accosted a boy with a fishing rod on
his shoulder.
He don't run with our crowd" he
said. Maybe he lives down by the
bridge"
I'm not looking for Huck Finn him
self" said the visitor. He's dead, but
-"
Then you might try the grave
yard" replied the boy. Its up yon-
der--the stones is marked, l reckon.
Presently a citizen came along who
could furnish the information. Huck' s
home was only two blocks from where
the ice man said he didn't live in
those parts" In the basement door
stood black "aunty," with her hands
resting on her hips. She wore a tri-
Colored handkerchief on her head.
Il knows" she said; "you's one O.
dem relicky hunters"
I'm engaged in gathering some ma
terial in reference to Mark Twain,
Cameron County press. [volume] (Emporium, Cameron County, Pa.) 1866-1922, 1908-06-18

"He was a plowin' ten or fifteen yoke
of cattle if | recollect right, but he
didn't go 10 Heaven till he took his
mind off the cattle. Didn't take none
of his oxen with him, but he took wis
dom with him, and good book is the
mouthpiece of wisdom. How old are
you, Brother Stoveall?"
I'm eighty odd"
"Gettin' along putty well. And now,
loollin' back over your life, what have
you enjoyed the most?"
We'll, it don't seem to me now that
I've ever enjoyed anything since | was
a boy. 1t has been scuffie for me to
live and to take care OF what little /
had raked together. | have had to
watch man all the time to keep him
from Robin me-"
But he could only rob you of mate
rial things. If you'd been wiser you
would have laid up somethin' he
couldn't rob you of, and you could
have set down by your fire at night
and dreamed over it without any fear.
You have known all along that they
were goin' to blow the horn for you
some day, 1t has always been GER
tair that you had to go, and then who
is yo:n' to take care of the things you
have raked together? Come to think
about it. l don't believe | ever heard
you laugh right good"
Il haven't had anything to laugh
about the old man replied.
And nobody else that was always
afraid that he might be robbed while
he laughed. But you have been
robbed out Of mighty few pennies;
ever since | can remember you have
been able to go tc a sale and buy what
you wanted, and yet of all the men l
know. Stoveall, your life has been the
biggest failure"
"Jucklin, l could buy and sell you
three times in day, with the price
back"
"Oh, you mean my land and my
house. Yes, l reckon you could, but
you never saw money enough to buy
me. In lookia' through advertisements
for bargains did you ever find happi-
ness for sale? No sir. for there amt
no bankrupt stocks Of happiness Oh.
| used to think along your line.
didn't think that I'd evee be happy till
owned all the land adioiuin' my
farm, and | was miserable because I
saw no chance of gettin' it. Every day
or so I'd see a hearse goin' down the
road, hauln' some old fellow to the
graveyard. and enc day it came on
me all of a sudden that had to go
along there, tco. Then | lowed that
ought TO get as much happiness out
Of the world as possible. and | was

"Mason and Dixon's Line"

Mason and Dixon's line" is a refer
ence to boundary which was estab-
1ished in the years intervening from
1853 to 1867, between the colonies of
Maryland and Virginia on the one
side, and that of Pennsylvania on the
other side, by Charles Mason and
jeremiah Dixon, who were two Eng
lish civil engineers. So thoroughly
was the allotted task performed by
these young Englishmen that an 1S49
revision of the survey failed TO detect
the slightest error. The United
States government also, as recently as
1901, has caused the Maryland por-
tion of the noted boundary line to be
again revised.
