Became His Own Publisher.

These works were all issued by the
american Company, his first publishers,
but desiring larger royalties. Mark Twain
determined to become his own publisher,
and joined with his nephew in establish
ing the house of C. l.. Web
ster & Co. Success was immediate, but it
did not last. The Arm brought out The
Adventures Of Huckleberry Finn in
1885; "A Connecticut Yankee in King Ar
thurs Court" in 1889; THE American
Claimant" in 1892; ''Pudd'nheao Wilson,. -
in 1893, and TON Sawyer Abroad" in
the same year.
Two years later the firm failed and
Mark Twain's fortune was swept away.
With courage as unbroken as when he
could not get a job as reporter in San
Francisco many years before he again
took to the lecture field to regain his
fortunes.
He received generous offers to go on
tour, and everywhere was greeted by large
and enthusiastic audiences. He made q
new fortune. paid his debts and left the
publishing business to others while he
worked hard at his desk. In 1896 ap-
peared The Personal Recollections Of
Joan of Arc" More Tramps Abroad
and Following the EQUATOR" in 1897.
and The Man Who Corrupted Hadley-
to Europe he published in 1902 "A
Double Barreled Detective Story" and
In recent years, besides writing frequently
for magazines. particularly the Harper
publications. the Harper Brothers having
been his publishers for the last decade or
more, he had been engaged, with Albert
Bigelow Paine, his literary assistant. In
writing his autobiography. Much of it
has already been published. It was esti-
written $4,000 words. and was still turn
ing out something like 1000 day, when
he worked.
