Possessed Of Humor.
mark was always possessed of
natural humor. and I remember dis
tinctly one of his early remarks. He
had been to church and returning
home one of his friends yelled at him.
Mark, how did you like the sermon? 2
He always drawled, and his remark
was, Well, it was so flowery | could
not find the stems to it.
Zone incident in his life that always
greatly impressed me-. was something
that mis- mother told me. He had al
ways detested school and while stand
ing at his fathers bier promised his
mother that he would do anything she
wanted him to do but go to school He
would be obedient in all other things,
but would draw the line at school.
"Sam was always a great cut up;
never bad boy, but just full OF mis-
chief Even as little boy his mother
said he hated school. His father used
to follow him to the school, but Sam
would hide usually behind some old
stump and outwit the elder Clemens.
''In his death it almost seemd to me
like the loss of near relative. as
we were so intimately acquai tied.
When residing in Keokuk, Twain S
brother, Orion Clemens, Our family
and other relatives lived in the same
Dlock and visited each other frequent
ly. The ancestors Of the Pattersons
and Clemens families all came from
Kentucky and there was slight rela-
tlonship. In those days distant rela-
tionship was thought more of IAN TO-
day and this was the cause Of such
intimate acquaintanceship among the
various families.
Received Letter From Twain.
when Mark Twain's favorite
daughter Jean, met such a sudden
death last year by being drowned in a
bath tub, wrote him letter OF con-
dolence, / received letter from
him in reply in which he stated that
he appreciated and thanked me
for my consoling words in his hour OF
sorrow. l prize the letter very
highly"
