II. H. Rogers, on his return voyage

evening in the smoking room, of his
travelling companion, Mark Twain:
He is an incorrigible humorist.
Even in his most emotional moments
he can't help being funny.
when he married in Elmira in
1870 his father-in-law made him a
present of fine, well furnished
house in Buffalo.
THE present came as a surprise
Mark Twain knew nothing of it till
amid party of relatives and friends,
he was shown over the luxurious
place. Then. when they told him ii
was his, tears filled his eyes.
But he was still the humorist
and turning to his father-in-law he
said, though in voice that trembled
