Mark Twain And the Failure OF a
Publishing Company.
Editorial In The N. Y. Sunl

Editorial In The N. Y. Sum-
In the summer Of 1895 the adjust
ment OF the affairs OF the bankrupt
publishing house OF c. L. Webster e.
Company reached a point at which 1t
was desirable to have the testimony
OF that concerns principal hacker
That gentleman was In bad health at
the time. the weather was unusually
oppressive. and the ordeal which he
had to undergo was one from which
any man would shrink. Yet he,
though suffering acutely every mo-
ment and obliged to use the services
OF an attendant day and night, sub
mitted with the utmost good temper
to examination. endeavoring in every
way to assist in the disclosure of the
exact condition of the firm.
That gentleman was Samuel l..
Clemens. and those who were aware
OF all the circumstances will never
forget, nor will they wish to forget,
the manner In which he bore the in
QUESTION and the sincere desire he
manifested I'm every word and tone
and attitude to do exact justice to
the creditors Of the failed company.
When the examination was conclud-
ed. this brave and honest gentleman
still unrestored to health, set out on
a lecture trip around the world. not
TO refill his emptied purse. but to
earn money for the payment OF debts
OF the firm for which the law ex-
plicitly said he was not responsible,
but which his conscience accepted
as personal obligations and his fine
sense Of honor compelled him to rec
ognize.
The picture OF Walter Scott. i'll and
broken, feverlshly writing on ano on
to repair his fortunes. is one that is
imprinted on the mind OF every read
er. Beside IL belongs the equally pa
thetic picture of Samuel L. Clemens,
I'm his old age cheerfully assuming q
task that many a young man would
seek to escape and gladly sacrificing
years OF richly earned repose and
comfort that no man might suffer in
pocket from the perfectly legitimate
but financially unfortunate enter
prise Of his business associates.

n DEAD STOMACH.
OF What Use Is 1t?

Thousands? yes hundreds of thous-
are taking the slow death treatment
daily
They are numbering their own
stomach, the best friend they have,
and in their sublime ignorance they
think they are putting aside the laws
of nature.
This is no sensational statement; it
is a startling fact, the truth of which
any honorable physician will not
deny.
These thousands of people are
swallowing daily huge Quantities OF
pepsin and other strong digesters

to digest its own food. Then indiges

MYRA KELLY, THE WRITER.
How Ghetto Child Life Depicter Got
Her Start as an Author.

Myra Kelly (Mrs. Allan Macnauch-
ton), affectionately known to many
thousands OF readers as the writer OF
stories of ghetto children of New
York city, who died recently in Tor
quay, England, was born in Dublin,
Ireland, about thirty years ago.
Ten years or so ago a newspaper
man was dining one evening with DR.
James T. Kelly, who asked for ad-
vice concerning his daughter g
troubles with magazine editors. This
seemed like the preface to a famil-
lar story-the young woman had lit
erary ability which the editors per-
sistently refused to recognize. What
was to be done?
But the story was not along that
familiar line.
MY daughter Myra," said DR.. Kel-
ly when his companion asked how he
could help. 'is teaching in a down.
town east side school. All Of us at
home have been entertained by her
stories of her pupils. and / urged her
to write some of them. She was tim
Id about 1t because of the tales Of
often rejected manuscripts by un-
known writer's and did not say that
she would make the trial.
Unknown to me she did. though,
and determined to get over the
agony of unanimous rejection as soon
as possible, she made three copies Of
her story and posted one each to
three magazine editors. This morn
ing she came to me In dismay with
three letters from three editors, three
checks and three requests for more
stories"
DR.. Kelly's companion agreed to
act as diplomatic agent, saw the
three editors, settled the matter Of
first choice by lot and gave the be-
wildered young school teachers
promise of other stories in turn to
the other two editors. That was the
unusual manner of entrance into the
field Of story writing of Myra Kelly,
then a teacher in the primary grade
of public school No. 147, in New
York.
The opinions of the magazine edi-
tors were speedily justified. Renders
demanded more stories about "Isi-
dore Belchatosky," there were enthu-
siastic encores for further comemnt
by Morris Mojelsky," subscribers
would not be denied more Of the wis
dom Of Becky Zalmonowsky," and
Patrick Brennan" whose father had
resisted the tide which had swept
most of his race away from Poverty
hollow, had friends by the thousands
among magazine readers.
For her first story Myra Kelly was
glad to accept $50. Within a year
she got $500 for every story she
wrote.
