Helped by Mark Twain.

The removal Of the old organ from
the Second Presbyterian church at
Carlisle, Pa, recalls the fact that 1t
was purchased with funds raised by
a lecture course in which Mark Twain
was one of the principal entertainers.
On the night Of his lecture Twain held
his audience in suspense by being half
an hour late Gen. Lemuel Todd,
who had been assigned to introduce
the humorist, was growing restless
and everybody was fidgety.
When Twain at last stepped on the
platform he did not give General Todd
an opportunity OF presenting him.
Merely nodding to Todd, Twain said:
Ladies and gentlemen. understand
that your esteemed townsman. Gen,
Todd. has been asked to introduce me
TO you. However. as | know myself
better than anyone else. believe am
better qualified to present myself"
Then he kept his audience in an up
roar for more than two hours.
