WHEN MARK TWAIN COINED HIS
NAME.

In Harpers for February, Albert
BigelOw Paine. the authorized biog-
rapher of Mark Twain. tells how the
great humOrist first really adopted the
name when writing for Nevada
newspaper in 1862.
He was not altogether satisfied. His
letters. copied and quoted all along the
coast were unsigned. They were cas-
lily identified with one another. but not
with a personality He realized that
to build a reputation it was necessary
to fasten it to an individuality a
name
He gave the matter a good deal of
thought. He did not consider the use
of his own name; the nom lie plume
was the fashion of the time He want
ed something brief, crisp, definite, un-
forgetable. He tried over a good many
combinations in his mind, but none
seemed convincing. Just then-this
was early in 1S63-news came to him
that the old pilot he had wounded by
his satire, Isaiah Sellers, was dead. At
once the pen-name of Captain Sellers
REQUIRED To him. That was it--that

Clemens decided he would give it Il

information. that surveyors are now
at work on the Milwaukee line be-
low Hanford and that the building
operations on the new railroad will
not cease at Hanford but will be
pushed on through Richland to
Kennewick during the present win

Co-incident with this gratifying
announcement comes the visit to
Kennewick of capitalists interested
in connecting Kennewick, Pasco,
Richland and the lower valley by an
electric line. Representatives OF
the traction project were in Ken.

cured, at considerable time and ex-
pense, the name of every qualified
voter in the county. When the
polls open Tuesday morning, Nov
ember 9Th, there will be a Kenne-
wick man at every polling place in
every precinct. Every vote will be
checked and every illegal voter will
be dealt with according to law.
This very phase was discussed
with the prosecuting attorney more
than two weeks ago, at which time
the chairman and secretary of Ken
newick' S campaign committee, in Or
der to forestall the cry of fraud, ex-
tended an invitation to the Prosser
committee to have representative
at the Kennewick polling places on
election day. and asked the same
courtesy in return. As yet no ans

of November 5th, the taxpayers of
this county can rest assured that the
election has been conducted on the
square, for Kennewick intends to
make it her business to see to it that
every ballot that goes into the box is
regular and legal. Prosser polite
ians would be only too glad to have
the question of fraud raised in the
event that Kennewick wins, as the
election would then be declared null
and void and the county seat would
then remain in Prosser.
With the Columbia River Valley,
or seventy per cent of the voting
population of the county, solidly in
line for the removal of the county
seat, Kennewick has everything to
lose and nothing to win by the
practice of fraud in the election.
Kennewick has the county seat just
as good as won right now and her
people do not intend to be beaten
out of victory by any illegal pro-
ceedings in any precinct in the
county. Illegal registration or ille-
gal voting on the part of ally person
is a criminal offense. The Kenne-

newick last Saturday and spent the
day in a careful survey and analysis
of the possibilities of such line as
they contemplate.
The interests represented by these
men have had the local field under
observation for the past two years
and last weeks visit was the second
they have made over the valley.
They are convinced that the time
is ripe to put their plans in opera
tion and promised that within the
next month they would be on hand
again and would be prepared to go
before the city officials of Pasco,
Kennewick and Richland with ap-
plications for franchises.
Many of the preliminary details
have already been worked out and
that there will be no delay when
they decide to build is evidenced by
the fact that they will be prepared
to have cars in operation within
ninety days or forfeit their fran
chises. Their plans do not in
clude bridging the Columbia at
present. Instead powerful steam
ferry will be operated on the line
between the Twin Cities.

Changes in the Styles Of Partisan Sum.
NOR Hats.

From the Millinery Trade Review.
Some new forms have appeared and
are taking the town by storm. They
differ entirely in style from all those
that have been shown hitherto this sea-
SCR. which Is perhaps the reason for
their success. Whether or not this will
be of long duration remains to be seen,
but in the meanwhile every fashiona-
BILE woman is getting one.
Iheir general characteristic is to be.
that of a regular hat with a firm high
crown, the same width all the way up
and fiat at the top. and a narrow brim
rolled at the edges. They are closely
allied to the kind of hats men wore
(and indeed women, too) during the
first French revolution, and which were

served for later on. SO as to make its
appearance in rough felt. for it was
originally made in beaver, the actual
skin of the beast. not h imitation Of
1t we now call by that name.
In the meanwhile his .Vendee' hat
is made in English straw and other
plain sorts. including Leghorn and Pam
anna. he latter being generally dyed.
although 1t Is by no a rule for
this shape to be colored. Leghorn Is
not dyed-but the brim Is usually given
a facing of black tagal or English
straw. When the shape is built up of
the latter. faced braids are sometimes
used for the brim.
Slight differences are to be found in
the shape. Thus, some have the bri,n
rolled up regularly the same height all
the way around, 1. e., an inch or q frac-
ton over. whereas others have it rolled
more decidedly at h sides. but always
symmetrically.
The 'Vendee'' is essentially a SYM
metrical hat: 1t Is made to wear
straight and to come we'll on the head
almost down to the eyebrows. Saving

encircle the crown. the trimming is all
ways set up erect exactly in front, not
a hairs breadth more to the left than

fancies in plumage (mostly stiff
aigrettes n drum major plumes) and

ments. There is no question as vet Of
trimming them with lowers.
The bows are always Of a formal
