who brought him an independent for

mand, he had an assured income and
seemed independent. But in 1876 his
popularity as an author. and his &C.
qualntance with the mechanics of the
publishing trade-besides being a prac-
teal printer he had been part owner of
the Buffalo Press before his marriage
drew him into the firm of c. L. Web
ster & Co., publishers. The firm bought
out the memoirs Of Gen. Grant and
paid his widow $3.50, 900 but its prosper
ity was short lived. and it failed with
liabilities Of $4,000. The failure had
already taken $4,000 of Mark Twajn's

Pressman's Story.
Mark Twain was an inveterate smok-
er and one of the most leisurely men in
the world. An old pressman who was
printers devir' in an office where
Mark was an editorial writer, tells this
anecdote Of his habits of work:
One of my duties was to sweep the
room where editors worked. Every day
Mark would give me a nickel to get
away from him. He would rather die
In the dust than uncross his legs. One
day he gave me a nickel to dot an i in

JOY life, that man did.
Bound to Pay Debts.
Yet this easy-going scribbler acauit-
ted himself of a prodigious deal of
work in his life and bound himself
voluntarily TO pay off his debts that
he could have discharged without hurt
TO his good name by passing through
bankruptcy. He did not practice as he
preached.

Rises Into Fame
With Mark Twain's lecture trip
around the world begins his interna-
tional celebrity and his gradual rise
into figure taken in some sense TO
typify the American. From humorist
he became the kindly. but mocking
moralist and philosopher of "Pudd'n
Head Wilson" His literary output be-
came more occasional and. although
written with more finesse, il was more !
critical and less creative. His public !
grew more frequent. his
whimsical utteranceS gained greater !
accuracy and whole literature of |
anecdotes grew up about him
HOnored by Degrees
Yale gave him the degree Of NJ A..
and later OF IL. D.. in 1901: the Irn: !
versity Of Missouri. his native state fo,-
lowed with Ii. d. in 1902. and in 1907
