DEMAND FOR WORKS OF
MARK TWAIN INCREASED

It's an i'll wind that blows no one
good, say the booksellers of this city
in speaking Of the muchs lamented
death of Mark Twain. While the de-
mand has not been any heavier than
usual for his books today, every book
seller in town, according to four of
the leading bookmen, has sent in big
orders to the wholesalers, anticipating
a large call inside of the next week.
There are 11S volumes of Twain's 8
books in the library. 1t was impos-
sible yesterday to secure even a single
volume of any of them. Miss Melzer
of the fiction department of the library
spoke enthusiastically Of the way his
books circulated. why, we could use
twenty-five extra copies if we had
them" she SAID. fThe moment l read
that Mr.. Clemens was dead, I sent to
Parkers book store and had them send
up all the Mark Twain books they had
on hand His Connecticut Yankee at
King Arthur's Court seems to go bet
ter than any of his other works, while
his Personal Recollections of Joan Of
Arc runs it a close second. We pro-
cured one OF his latest books, until now
a stranger to the library shelves, in
the shape of Captain Stormfield's Visit
to Heaven"

The TheaterS

Lewis S. Stone and members of the
Belasco company yesterday went
of through dress and scenic rehearsal
in the shape of a complete performance
of "The Price," the latest work of
George Broadhurst, which will receive
it's initial performance at the Belasco
theater next Monday night. The re-
hearsanl was under the direct super
vision of Mr.. Broadhurst. The mem
bers of the company yesterday showed
themselves to be letter perfect in their
lines, while the rehearsal revealed one
of the finest series of stage settings
that has ever been shown on local
stage.
The present opening is receiving even
more attention than the interest shown
by theatergoers at the previous Broad
hurst performances, partly because this
play is entirely different from anything
that has ever come from the pen of
this prominent playwright.

WRITER AS FORMER CITIZEN

AURORA, New, April 22.-Mark
Twains death comes with peculiar sad
ness to this little town out In the south
ern desert, for, in his wanderings.
he once lived here. It was in his brief
career in mines and prospecting that
he located In Aurora, and his descrtp-
tion of the wild West" claim Is a
story of his venture in this camp.
The cabin he occupied here still
stands. Some time ago one of the old
settlers who knew Clemens sent him a
shingle from the roof of the shack. In
due time Clemens answered, thanking
the sender but adding that 1t must
have been the only shingle on the
cabin, as the last recollection he had
of the shack was that 1t leaked like a
sieve and he failed to recognize the

RECOMMENDS RETIREMENT
OF INSURANCE co. HEAD
Concern Impaired by San Fran
cisco Fire Investigated

POUGHKEEPSIE. N. Y, April 22.-
AS a result of an investigation of the
affairs of the Duchess Fire Insurance
company of this city by State Superin-
tendent Hotchkiss and his examiners,
the superintendent tonight recon-
mended the retirement of Louis II.
Vail as president and director of the
company.
In a statement regarding the inves-
tigation, he said:
"An examination into the affairs or
the Duchess Fire Insurance company
was begun by the state insurance de-
partment March 81. This examination,
the first since that following the re-
organization Of the company In 1906,
Is still in progress.
Facts developed seemed to require
an examination of the affairs of the
Duchess company, which prior to 1907
had been officered by the same persons
and had done business from the same
principal office as the Duchess Fire
insurance company, but which had
been seriously impaired as result OF
the San Francisco fire."

ROOSEVELT PAYS TRIBUTE
TO MARK TWAiN'S GENIUS

PARIS, April 22.-Former President
Roosevelt was greatly panied to hear
of the death of Mark Twain. He said: !:
ut Is with sincere grief that learned
of the death of this great American
author. His position, like that of Joel
Chandler Harris, was unique, not only
in American letters, but in the litera-
ture of the world.
HE was not only a great humorist,
but a great philosopher, and his writ
ings form one of the assets in Ameri-
can contributions to the world OF
achievement. of which we have right,
as a nation, to be genuinely proud"
In the Pigskin library which Mr..
Roosevelt carried through the Jungles
of Africa were two Of the late au-
thor's booksL"Huckleberry Finn" and
'"Tom Sawyer'-and Mr.. Roosevelt
says he read both of them several
times and always with the greatest
interest.

NOTES.

It must not be forgotten that food
fiavors the flesh as well as the egg.
Our American breeds fatten very
readily, making them ideal market
poultry.
Those who become discouraged by
mistakes are not very progressive.
Instead of being stumbling blocks,
mistakes are object lessons that
arouse one to a sense of closer OBJ
servation and point out facts. How
ever, the man who makes the same
mistake twice is not a very observ-
ing person.
The older the egg the less is that
sweet rich flavor noticeable.
It is more important to know the
work of the individual hen than the
average of the flock.
There is no foundation for the as
sertion that the sweet, rich flavor"
of the egg belongs to the breed.
That condition can only be brought
about by the quality of the food.
If hens trusted to luck, they would
lay very few eggs. Hens never go at
it in that haphazard way. See that
you do your part as we'll as they do
theirs.
The farmers wife often speaks
about being lucky or unlucky with
regard to getting winter eggs from
her hens. The fact is that 1t is a
matter Of management rather than
luck. When you get eggs and your
neighbor does not, 1t is not luck that
makes the difference.
All authorities are predicting a
shortage in the poultry crop of the
coming season This will mean high.
er prices, both for eggs and dressed
poultry. Hatch all the chicks you
can possibly attend to, and keep as
many pullets as possible. Your re-
turns will more than compensate
you.
