MARK TWAIN AND
 FULL SPEED AHEAD.
Mark Twain once worked on Mississippi steamboat.

Md1k l Wdlil OIlCc WOIkcu OIl Mississippi steamboat.
 And when he heard the man with the sounding line sing out mark twain" he knew those two words meant that the water was two fath- pms deep, navigation was good and the steamer might go ahead at full speed.
 So really mark twain" was synonymous with |" go ahead"
 And go ahead Mark Twain did. Thus full speed ahead soca took him off the Mississippi and started him on the stream of iteH ture.
 And 1t wasn't long before he ran across a machine that he thought would give him greater speed.
 And he courageously purchased it. It was a Model I Remington Typewriter.
 However, 1t wasn't all smooth sailing in those early days of 1875.
 For, although he found he could run the machine with greater facility than the pen, nevertheless he quit its use for a while for reasons best ex- plained by himself. Under date of March Ie, 1875, he wrote to the makers:
 Please do not use my name in any way. Please do not even di- vulge the fact that 1 own a ma chine. 1 have entirely stopped using the Type Writer for the req son that I never could write let ter with 1t to anybody without receiving a request by return mail that I would not only describe the machine, but state what progress l had made in the use of it, etc., etc. I don't like to write letters and so 1 don't want people to know that I own this curiosity breeding little joker" That was queer testimcnial, wasn't it?
 But don't you see how eager other people were to go full speed ahead" and how anxious they were to get information about anything in the way of machine that would keep pace with their thoughts?
 Why, the entire world was on tiptoc looking for the Remington Typewriter. When the lineman ae the bow of the good ship Busf ness" discovered the Remington machine, he shouted "mark twain '' and for thirty odd years business has been going full speed ahead" But Mark Twain of literary farrs did not long fear to use his Rem ington., "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" enjoys the distinction of having been the first book ever sub mitted to a publisher in typewriter manuscript.
 And then see how persistcntiy the genial Clemens wrote after that.
 Look at tine list of books he issued twenty-five volumes, an amazing lot of stories for man who did so many other things.
 He used the Remington and went full speed ahead throughout all the last thirty-fve years of his life.
 And "full speed ahead :" is still the record of the demand for the Remington Typewriter.
 Think of that advertisement which l saw only a few weeks ago-the advertisement with the caption,
 "A MACHINE A MINUTE"
 It certainly does look as if gen. eral business is going full speed ahead" when such demand is made on the makers of the Remington Typewriter.

a considerable road education. The equip ment of this train even surpasses that ok the four similar good roads trains re gently operated over other railway sys- tems in the United States.
 This train will cover about 15,000 miles in the states of Texas, Loulsiana. Mls- souri, Kansas, Arkansas, Oklahoma. Mis- sissippi and Alabama. A complete sched- ule of stops has been prepared which pro- vides opportunity for more than 3DO iec- lures upon good roads topics. These iec- lures will be given upon those road sub iects which are most intimately connected with the locality visited.
 MT. II. C. Wells, superintendent of road construction. assisted by MT ]. Va Jans- sen. both of the United States office of public roads, will accompany the train to give good roads lectures. Their ad- dresses will be illustrated by over 100 colored lantern slides. The representative of the American Association for Highway Improvement will effect good roads or ganzations where there is n desire to have them. These men are expert high way engineers and are prepared and will ling 10 answer all questions which time permits at each stop.
 Although home grown seed potatoes arc selling at high prices, foreign grown pota- toes should not be substituted for them. The following statement on the danger to the American potato crop from the use of imported seed potatoes Is issued by the secretary of agriculture:
 Europe has several potato diseases not now known to exist in this country, which. if introduced. might be the means of greatly reducing our annual yield of pota- toes. Should these diseases become pre- valent throughout the United States. tho cost of producing future crops might be ver.. greatly increased.
 Do not therefore, under any circum- stances, use foreign grown potatoes for seed, either at the north or at the south. Tho sorts which are coming to this eoun- try at the present time are late sorts and are not adapted to planting in the south where early potatoes are the main crop. neither are they adapted to planting at the north, for they will not produce a satisfactory yield.
 They are not adapted to our soils or 70 our climate, and will not yield profitable crops; but the danger of introducing dis- eases not now present is sufficient reason for refusing to plant them

WASHINGTON, Sept. 5,-Every ef-

ton to the Americans in the Cananea
district to enable them to protect
themselves against the ravages Of the
rebels, who now thickly infest that
country, Today a request from the
residents there was received at the
state department asking for 500 rifles
Immediately, accompanied by 200
rounds Of ammunition for each gun.
The Americans who signed the re-
quest to the state department for
arms were Informed today they could
have 100 guns at Nogales and cartrid-
ges at Hermosillo, sent sometime ago.
already accepted for export. The
weapons will not be permitted to
leave Nogales however, until strong
guard of federal soldiers or private
citizens is provided to prevent the
rebels from obtaining them, The
guns will have to be paid for by the
people to whom they are given.
The El Tigre mining company was
today given permission to take across
the border 20 rifles and about 1000
rounds OF ammunition to be used by
the employees of the company in pro-
tecting its property. 1t is probable
that the additional rifles which are
to be sent to the citizens in the Can
anea district, will have to come from
the Frankford Arsenal Of the war de-
partment, located near Philadelphia.
1t will take about a week to get
them to the people. The Mexican gov
ernment will be requested to provide
a strong escort for the additional
rifles and ammunition.
