Few Unemployed in Kansas.

One of the best indications that
things are moving in Kansas is the
fact that there are very few applica-
lions for employment at present at the
State Free Employment Agency.
Charles Harris, director of the bureau,
says this is a good sign.
at is sign" he said, chat there is
a great deal of building and other
work being done and that men in need
of work are able to find it without
the assistance of an employment bu-
reau The demand for farm hands is
heavy and all applicants who are
fitted for work are sent out over the
state as soon as their applications are
filed. Hands are being sent to every
section of the state every day. Mar

CAREER OF MARK
TWAIN, HUM0R|ST
Interesting Life of the Man Who
Made the World Laugh.
RIVER PILOT IN HIS YOUTH
Did His First Literary Work In Ne
Vada-Sad Events That Clouded
His Later Years-A Clean
Life Record.

Samuel Langhorne Clemens, Ameri
cas- foremost humorist and known the
world over as Mark Twain" was born
in the little town of Hannibal, Mo-. in
November 80, 1885.
His father, John Marshall Clemens,
came from an old Virginia family, and
with his young wife, Elizabeth Lamp
ton, descendant of the early settlers
of Kentucky, he joined the sturdy
band of pioneers who pushed over the
Alleghanies in the early part of the
last century and settled along the
banks of the Mississippi river.
In the uncouth environment of the
then little frontier town of Hannibal
the famous author spent his boyhood
days. Here he fished, hunted and
lounged along the river banks with his
sturdy companions, living healthy
outdoor existence, which undoubtedly
accounted for his long life. in the face
of his many Affections.
He attended the little school, but
not being of a very studious disposi-
ton, he learned far more from con-
tact with the rough companions whom
he immortalized in later years as
"Huckleberry Finn" and tom Saw
yer" and others Of their type.
At the age of twelve his meager
school education was brought to a
sudden close by the death of his ia
Their.
His older brother, Orion S. Glenn
ems, was the proprietor of printing
shop in the village, and young Sam
Clemens began his journalistic career
there as a printers devil" In the
course of a few years he learned the
trade as a compositor, and in 1853 he
left his native town and began a wan
1ering existence. He journeyed from
place to place, working at his trade in
New York and the principal cities of
the middle west.
But while he gained a vast amount
of experience during his travels, which
proved of the greatest value in the
preparation of some of his works in
later years, tnls period was ratner I'M
profitable from financial standpoint,
and he was finally compelled to return
to his home along the banks of the
great river. In rather straitened cir
cumstances.
Becomes River Pilot.
The life of steamboat pilot had al
ways appealed to his youthful magma
ton, and now that he had grown to
manhood, he resolved to realize his
ambition. He was fortunate enough to
become a pupil of Horace Bixby, and
he was soon guiding the awkward
river craft along the tortuous channel
of the muddy stream.
The idea of his becoming an author
had never entered his mind at that
time. but he absorbed enough of the

Old Line Companies Admitted.

State Superintendent of Insurance
Charles W. Barnes has admitted two
new old-line life insurance companies
to Kansas The two companies are
the North American Life of New Jer-

companies operating in Kansas has in
creased rapidly the last year, not only
by admission of foreign companies,
but by the organization of Kansas COM

Made $4,000 Out of Failure.

The state made just about $4,000
out of the failure of the First National
bank of Topeka. This is shown by a
statement recently issued by State
Treasurer Mark Tulley upon receipt
of the final payment due the state. AS
the case stands the state receives six
per cent on the money from the time
of the failure of the bank. Had the
state had all this money all the time
it would have been receiving two and
three per cent for it from the state
depositors. The difference in exact
figures is $l7,949.91.

flculties encountered in guiding a
boat along the great river in his Life
on the Mississippi River" which he
wrote many years later
At the outbreak of the Civil war
steamboating came to standstill, and
young Clemens enlisted in the Confed-
crate army. A soldiers life, however,
was not to his liking, and after few
weeks service he joined his brother
Orion, who had received an appoint
ment as secretary of the Territory of
Nevada. He acted as secretary to his
brother, but as his duties were almost
nothing and his salary even less, he
spent most of his time in the mining
camps. His experiences in this Sec
ton are depicted in his "Roughing II"
and The Jumping Frog"
First Literary Work.
In 1862 he began his first regular
literary work on the staff of the Vir-
ginia City Enterprise. He wrote col

situation in the state, that attracted

Twain" which he had heard sung out
on the Mississippi steamers to let the
pilot know that the sounding showed
two fathoms of water.
He resigned his position at Virginia
City and went to California, where he
worked on the Sacramento Union; but
after brief period, he left his desk
and went to Hawaii to write up the
sugar interests. His work was very
successful, and on his return to Cali
fornia he delivered a number of lee
lures, which netted him considerable
money.
In March of 1867, Twain published
his first book, The Jumping Frog Of
Calaveras County" The book made
quite stir in that part of the coun-
try, but only 1000 copies were sold
1t attracted the attention, however, of
the editor of the Alta California, who
sent the author out as a newspaper
sion to southern Europe and the ORR
ent.
His letters were published from time
to time, and in 1869 the author re-
vised them and published them in
book form under the title of THE In
nocents Abroad" This work made
Mark Twain" famous, and compelled
his recognition as Americas foremost
humorist. In the first 16 months, 49,
900 volumes were sold, and many
more subsequently. This was record
